Adventures of Hucleberry Finn by: Mark Twain

Hey guess what? I'm Back! As from the title you can tell this this post isn't on TST. I took a break on that book. I'm now reading Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Its a classic I know. Its a good book though. I saw the cartoon movie version and thought it was a good concept and well played out. 

I haven't gotten into the book yet but so far the book is good, except for Twain's grammar. Don't get me started with it........ The book and the movie i saw so far is very similar. Basically its about a boy, Huck Finn who is a mischievous boy caught between a confining life with his legal guardian and an abusive life under his drunkard father. He fakes his own death, teams up with a runaway slave named Jim, and take off on a raft down the Mississippi River. Now don't get confused with The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer and Huck are in way over their heads when they witness a murder in a graveyard... see two different yet similar books both by the same author. The movie i saw was both ideas combined. It was well done and hope to say about the book as well!

As for TST I am still at the same place as before. Nothing much has happened. I am trying to long out the book till a month or so before the movie comes out to still have it fresh in my mind when i go to see it.

The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

How was y'all spring break? This week i will be talking about The Scorch Trials.. again. Last week we talked about the book itself this week i am going to talk about what is going on...

"Before anyone could move he fired, an explosion that rocked the narrow alley with a thunderous boom."
"Pure pain ripped through Thomas' left shoulder." You may be wondering what this means well.... THOMAS GETS SHOT.... that is where i am right now in the book. He gets shot, WICKED comes to his rescue (yay! not really) and he meets back with Minho and Newt and his friends who got separated from him and Brenda. Thomas still can't get a hold of Teresa and doesn't know if she is okay. He saw her once- she was alive but was acting strange. Enough of Teresa.... After Thomas got shot WICKED came and took him to the berg which is really a hospital. They fixed him up. Wondering how a loaded gun ended up in the Scorch and how Thomas being shot and all was not part of the plan. I was reading that and i was like: "WELL PLANS CHANGE.. deal with it."

They still are talking about the safe haven and that beneficial thing for them. Brenda weirdly still crushing on Thomas and he told her that she could never be Teresa. OUCH! He feels so sorry, Brenda really doesn't care.... i think she does... The last thing i read and the weird thing is that Thomas was in the berg and the lady there said "It's what you would've wanted us to do" What does that mean... I have no idea.
