Review on Whispers of War by Kit Pearson

Whispers of War is a great book written like a diary. It follows the story of a fictional 11 year old girl in the middle of the war of 1812.  A great story with a lot of cries and laughs.  A story about a young girl in the middle of a wars faces personal problems as well as dealing with the war.  These are just some of the statements that I could say about this book. A must read for anyone who is interested in historical fiction.

Journals: A Great Way of Writing

Journal, diaries, Idea books: they are all the same thing.
A place where you can write your ideas and feelings down,a place where you can be yourself.  Personally I keep a diary where I write everything from my ideas to what happened that day. If you are just starting a diary/journal you most likely feel like quitting sometimes.  Trust me I know how that feels and I have some advice: If you don't feel like writing one night don't because you most likely don't have anything to say. If you force yourself to write every night it might become something like a chore you hate doing.  This year my summer was very boring and I remember skipping weeks at a time. But my fall has been more exciting and I've been writing almost every night.  Also remember you can be yourself in your diary because NO ONE should look at it without you saying so.   I'd say try a diary out because it's a great way to enjoy writing.

 (You don't have keep doing it if you don't like writing, it is up to you.)


Whispers of Winter: a winter poem

The bubbling brook has yet to freeze over,
But yes,winter is here,
The snow whispering in the night air proves it,
The icicles dripping from the roof assures it,
The animals bounding to their dens call it,
Winter is finally here,
The bubbling brook has yet to freeze over,
But yes,Winter is here.


This poem is a bit more, shall we say, relevant then my poem about robins. Ha Ha!   

Pen-Pals:A Good Way of Practicing Reading and Writing.

Writing letters is one of my favorite way to contact people,and also a great way to practice reading and writing.  If your lucky enough to get into a pen-pal group I'd say go ahead and do it.If not birthday or holiday cards or even just friendly letter s to a friend or family member will give you the excitement and experience of writing a letter.So try and find a pen-pal group if your interested in writing letters and if not just write a friendly letter!
Hope this inspired every one to get writing!!!

The Robin's Flight

On silent wings,
Ruffled with wind,
The robin comes back,
Back to it's home and beloved forest,
The bird's flight almost ended,
Soon the robin can rest,
And people everywhere,
Will exclaim in excitement,
When they see the robin's red vest,
For robins mark spring,
And everyone's excited,
For spring is almost here.



I like that poem, it's my favorite out of the poems I wrote.(not very relevant though this time of year.)

Review of Whisperings of Magic

Whisperings of Magic by Karleen Bradford is a excellent book.
It is definitely fantasy and has very strong characters.
It is a sequel to the book DragonFire but I read this book without reading DragonFire and I understood everything fine.  I would give this a try if your a fantasy fan.
Thanks for reading my review!

Jays

Beautiful blue jays,
Suddenly a sweep of wings,
And a loud, harsh cry.
