Final SOL

I pulled the blue rope, and I heard a click as I started to fall. My muscles tensed up as I accelerated towards the ground. The swing started to turn up again, and I could feel myself being pushed into the chair. I started going up, and at the very top I felt weightless. The swing continued, until we slowed to a stop and the operator grabbed the chair. I hopped off, and more people hopped on.

And Then There Were None

Agatha Christie

In this book, 10 people are invited to a resort island. As they wait for their host, they hear a mysterious nursery rhyme, and start disappearing one by one. And then there were none. I really enjoyed reading this book. I really liked the suspenseful writing, and really interesting plot. The only thing that I did not like was the beginning, which was slightly slow.

SOL

As I pushed up the metal stick, the propellors started to spin.  Once they were going fast enough, the drone took off into the air, and accelerated towards the sky. I moved the other stick, and the drone dogged side to side. I pushed up the other stick again and watched the drone get closer and closer to the trees. It got too close, and the drone shuttered as a few shredded leaves fell down. I raised the drone up one more time, and pressed the camera button. Right after, another drone fell from above and crashed into mine. They both fell to the ground, unharmed.

I would rate this book at 4 out of 5 stars

SOL

I could smell the caramelizing sugar. We pulled open the oven door, and the pans of milk and sugar were bubbling, and quite burned. Not the creamy Dulce de leche for spanish class. A brown, sticky, bubbly, burned, mess. I poked at it with a spoon. Underneath was the golden caramel it was supposed to be. I was relieved, and I checked the directions. It had said to cover the pans with foil. No wonder it was burned.

The Road

The Road. Cormac Mcarthy

A father and son referred to only as "son" and "papa" travel on a road across a post apocalyptic america. The man teaches his son how to find food, protect himself , and most of all, survive to carry the fire on for the human race. Their goal is go south, where they will be able to survive another winter under the ashen sky.

I really enjoyed the writing style in this book. Cormac Mcarthy used short, bare sentences to show scenes, even though there are great descriptions. The relationship between the characters is portrayed very well, and I understood them. I would rate this book at 4 out of 5
