Best and Worst Parts and Reasons Why

I think the best part of the whole novel is when Kit turns Askew's life around. That is the best part because Kit has mentioned that there is some good in everyone and that if you try and figure out what that good is, then you can make that person see the good in himself and become a whole different person. I think that when Kit told Askew the story about Lak, it opened up some light in Askew and made him realize that having family and friends is more important than ending your own life. I think the worst part of the novel is when the "death" game is mentioned and done. I think it's the worst part because it is certainly not a game that I would play so that I could win friends and the consequences of this "game" involve leaving someone unconscious and alone until he can come out and tell what he experienced. I think it's a dumb game. If you want to play a game, make it horseshoes or Scrabble or basketball or something cheerful and not something that has to do with death at all.

The first link that has relations to the book I'm reading is http://januarymagazine.com/kidsbooks/kitswilderness.html. I chose this link because it gives you a brief review of the book and some explanations about some instances that the other kids do. My links will be in a link list titled "Sites That Relate to the Book" so that's where my links will be.

blog number three

This is my third blog on the book Kit's Wilderness. Kit sees Askew and asks him what he was doing and is given no answer, except that he mentioned that he was the one who brought the teacher to the pits and got him in trouble and he later goes away, "nowhere," he says. Kit starts the story about Lak's journey south to find his family after the bear attack and trying to keep himself and his baby sister alive, too. Allie tells Kit of her role in the play "The Snow Queen" and shows everyone an example of making small things disappear and she, Kit and the other kids talk about Askew's disappearance and kind of hope that he's gone for good. Kit meanwhile dreams about Lak's mom who tells him to bring her son and her baby back and he tells her to bring his grandpa back since he was dying from old age and lonliness. Kit later watches Allie practice her part in the play and she tells him "Begone!," all in fun and acting too. Kit's grandpa tells him to watch for Silky in his dreams and he actually sees Silky in his room one night. He also continues his story about Lak and his attempts to keep himself and his sister Dal alive on their journey south to find their family.
