Read for a Lifetime Blog Comments
1st Comment: Alicia Donoghue
Hey Alicia. While going through the Read for a Lifetime list a Boy Who Dared was a book I was considering reading, so I decided to follow you and figure out in depth what the book is about. I'm also following you because your are one of my good friends. I agree with your statement about English not being your favorite subject. I am not a fan of writing papers or essays either. I look forward to seeing how this book turns out and weather it will be a good read. I also really like your ideas about blogging such as making videos, and putting ourselves in the character's shoes. These are really creative ideas,and I believe they will be entertaining to blog about. Bye!
xoxo Sarah

Kylie! Reading this blog about the music you choose for your book: The Sky is Everywhere, is very descriptive. It paints a picture in your head and you can connect with the book as you are listening to the music. I really enjoyed how you put so much thought into how you choose the music. I also enjoy how well the music is incorporated into your story. The music's tone and its variance of melody help to describe the mood of your characters as you pointed out in your blog. I will continue to follow your blog, this seems like a very good book.

Hey Jackson! I really liked your blog, and look forward to updating myself on your book! I am also really glad we got to start blogging because writing isn't really my strong point, and I can't say I like it either. I feel blogging about our books will also provide an entertaining way to express what our book is about. As Kylie mentioned I would really like to know a little more about the book, because it sounds like something I am interested in reading. Talk to you later!

Because I am: Music

I am currently reading Because I am Furniture by Thalia Chaltas, and found a song that I feel really relates to the tone and mood of the book. The song I am using is Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D Minor by Bach-Busoni. The song I choose gives good examples of both sides of characters voices in my story.
This song's dynamics vary from loud and hard to a more soft and meaningful tone. This greatly portrays where the mood is set in my book so far. The loud and more menacing parts of the song represent the violent nature of Anke's abusive father. He abuses Anke's brother and sister: Darren and Yaicha. Then as the song progresses and is interrupted by a softer and lighter tone which represents Anke as she is finding her voice through volleyball. My book is depressing right now with Anke's father being the main problem, but as I continue reading Anke is finding strength within herself and with her new found friend on the volleyball team who is going through a rough family situation as well. When I continue to read I hope to find that the soundtrack will become happier as Anke can step up for herself and here family.
