In my book I like many things about it,I think it is a great book but if I had to chose my 3 favorite things I would have to say they would be the adventure, fantasy,and the foreshadowing and all the suspension. The reason I like the adventure is because I have always wanted to go on my own big adventure one day because there is a lot of action and fun to be had. The second reason I like my book is because of the fantasy. I have always wanted to see fantasy creatures,dragons,knights,big castles,and I could go on and on.Last I love all the foreshadowing and suspension it keeps me reading and wanting to know what happens to the point it makes my dad tell me to put the book down and go to bed. Those are all of the reasons that make my book an amazing book to read.

In the quote,“Good literature substitutes for experience which we have not ourselves lived
through.” by Alexander Solzhenitsyn,I think he meant when you read you experience things that you have not yet experienced or will never experience in your life time. In books there are many out of this world things that you read about that would never happen in real life. Also you may reed about things you have not experienced yet but you will or might experience.
This quote relates to my to the book I am reading because there are fairy tale creatures like wizards and other things. It is also in the time of kinks and empires and kingdoms and those times are over. Last the main characters go on a big adventure and maybe sometime in my life i will go on one two.

1.One song that could go good with my book is when I'm gone by Eminem. This goes good with my book because Bilbo leaves the shire and it is sad.


2.Another song that is good for my book is go to sleep the lullaby because the caters in the story are always tired.


3.A great song for my book is the jaws theme song.This is a good song because there is a lot of foreshadowing and there are many scenes it would go perfect with.

4. Another good song that would go good with my book is kryptonite by 3 doors down.This is good for my book because the lyrics describe how Frodo and all of his friends look out for each other.

5.The last song that would go perfect with my book is where did you go by fort minor.This song is perfect for my story because Frodo always waits a long time to see Gandalf for news.

In the first book I read The Call Of The Wild the main character in the book is a dog named Buck. Buck lived on an estate with a rich judge and was living the best life a dog could ever have. then one day buck was kidnapped and forced to be a sled dog to find gold in the north. The reason Buck was taken and not another dog because buck was a big strong dog. As the story goes on Buck becomes the alfamale and is beaten and becomes very strong. But the story ends when Buck was nearly beaten to death and taken in by a man named John Thornton who later wins a lot of money on a bet on Buck's strength and later goes far into the north for gold. Buck later becomes a part of a wolf pack when he went on a walk in the woods and came back and found that everyone was killed by wild men
In the quote by C.S. Lewis, I think it means that when literature is a part of you life everything is much more exciting. When you read a book you are taken into a different world and see things you would never see in real life. Also when C.S. Lewis says literature enhances life I think he means that it gives you more to look forward to in life.
The book I am currently reading is The Lord Of The Rings The Fellow Ship Of The Ring. The quote by C.S. Lewis relates to my book because when I am reading my book I am in a whole different world. The book also gives me a chance too look forward to siting down and reading a good book. That is what I think C.S. Lewis meant.

I think this book will change me by getting me to read books more because i haven't read a book forever, and I will deal with this by going out and reading more books.
The book I have chosen for the independent reading project is The Call Of The Wild.The reason I choose this book is because Miss.K recommended it to me.
