Why I Chose These Links

Why I chose the links in my configuration link list is because they relate to the book that I read, Kit's Wilderness. They contain information about the book and if you had any questions probably, you'd go to these sights just by clicking on the website and reading what they provide. The book was ok, although I'm glad I'm done with it.

Archetypal Blog

Since this is an archetypal blog, I suppose that the main character Kit Watson is an innocent embarking on a journey. He just moved to a new town to be with an older relative and is totally innocent of all the seemingly "non-innocent" characters in his neighborhood. He meets Askew who is not that nice-looking and he embarks on this journey to find the ghosts of his long-dead ancestors. The archetypal setting is pretty much gloom. There is a wilderness or a forest, some caves and tunnels and a frozen river since it is winter. There seems to be not much liveliness or color in this neighborhood. The archetypal action/event in this story is pretty much a journey to find his long-dead ancestors' ghosts and also to find a place in which he can belong. At first, he almosts becomes one of the ghosts in the pits and tunnels, but he eventually fulfills his journey and makes a someone who could be mean into a potential friend and everyone lives happily ever after, I suppose.

In terms of my history of reading, I read many books. Some I read for book reports, some for Accelerated Reader, some for English assignments, and others just for fun. Some of my favorite books are the Nancy Drew mystery stories, the Royal Diary series, junior novelizations of my favorite movies, and the Alice in Wonderland books. I never stop reading and I read something for fun when I don't have other work, at home or at school, to do. Some books I've read I didn't really like, like Ender's Game, because they just didn't appeal to me that much as other books might do. I read basically anywhere I can, when I'm not doing anything else and I like to read because it is fun and so I don't get bored.

Judgment and Reason

If I wanted to read the book again, I'd recommend it for mid to late teens because if little kids read it, they may not like some parts in it like when Allie is given the power of evil in the play The Snow Queen because it may be too scary and they wouldn't understand it very well unless someone explained it to them. Early teens may like it, but certain events in the story may be misinterpreted by these early teens and they see it as something good when it could mean something else entirely. It's not typically my favorite book in the world at all, but if mid to late teens like stories about adventure and such, then this is the book they should read for fun or for an English assignment.

character development post

Kit Watson has changed considerably throughout the story. At first, he was just the new kid, susceptible to the antics of neighborhood gangs like Askew's gang that hangs around the Stoneygate pits. He has changed ever since he was involved with Askew's way of life. He wasn't afraid of doing what Askew did even if it could be dangerous. Along the way, Kit experiences seeing his and Askew's ancestors' ghosts and he also experiences what happenes when you are involved in any way in the mines, too. He also learns how to change someone's life when that person's family wants him home and with loving people again. When he did this, he learned how to make new friends that can do things together and make things better for himself and his new friends.
