choice book report for 3rd quarter

I read " Bone" by Jeff Smith. By the way, with me reading a comic book, there was no real "main" character, so I thought I would then just comment on the overall book instead. I hope that is okay because I saw no real other option. If this is not okay please let me know.Anyway, I thought that it was a very different style of book than one would expect in that one, it was a comic book. Two, it was divided into three main books or stories, but not chapters. I know for some people it definitely would have set them of their game by quite a large margin. I was able to adjust though, but it did take me a little bit. To the plot. It was mainly about characters from "boneville" (their city) and how they did with their issues that they have come to face with his or her skill set. In one instance, one of the richest "bones" (that's what they are called) goes bankrupt and they are kicked out of the city. He takes a relative and his friend with him too. They end up getting separated and it puts it in each one's point of view, and meanwhile it has a comical twist because it's a comic book. There are two other plots that go on too in the other stories, but I don't think you want me to talk about all of them. Overall the book wasn't that special to me, it wasn't that high-paced sort of nonstop action that I like. Plus, it wasn't really that funny. I would recommend this book for someone who likes slow-moving non-sealant humor. But not someone who likes gut-wrenching laughter.
         I am still going to pick one of the "choice" choices.
         The main conflict in "book" one, which I talked about earlier, is about how a very rich person or bone is going very well and making lots of money and having good luck until it suddenly changes for him, and he goes bankrupt very quickly. He owes so much money, that the city kicks him out of Boneville. Before he leaves he takes his cousin and his cousin's friend and they leave town with hardly anything. Now the formerly rich person doesn't get along with his cousin's friend, so there are definitely internal conflicts going on between them. Then one day a massive group of locusts start coming towards them, and they end up getting split up, and end up in a mythical world full of many different and unique characters. It puts you in each person's personnel view of what's going on in such breath taking detail it shocked me, because before it wasn't that detailed.. It was something I never encountered before. But, I have to say it didn't really do that much for me. But the only reason to tell if they ever found each other again, is to read the book.

  1. Aaron – First, Bone is the character and he does have a personality that you could describe. If he has has internal conflict, then definitely has “feelings” and such.

    Pt 2 on the right track, but overlooked the work requirement for both blogs – 400 words/apiece.
