Outside Reading #12

 I read the poem called Bleezer's Ice Cream by Jack Prelutsky. I mostly like this poem because it makes me really want ice cream. Mr. Prelutsky really shows how creative you can be with coming up with names of flavors of ice cream. My favorite is WATERMELON WAFFLE WHEAT, the way something are in caps and other things aren't, really get his point over.

I reread one on my favorite kid book, called The Giving Tree by  Shel Silverstein. I remember that I was always  being read this book when I was in preschool, I always had this very real picture of the tree with the heart caved in it. The book is about a the relationship between the tree and a boy and how the tree would do anything for the boy. The tree even allows the boy to cut the tree down so all that is left is a stump. I think it's a very sweet book, and really shows the meaning of giving.

This weekend I read an article in the Rolling Stone about Mitch Mitchell by David Fricke. Now when you think of the Jimi Hendrix Experience you think of Jimi Hendrix, but the lesser know people involved where just as important. Mitchell work as Hendrix's drummer for four years right up till the death of the rock star. Mitchell gave Hendrix the space he need to work his guitar magic but then stepped up to the plate when he need it. Mitchell let lose on stage, he was like a lead drummer with the kind of style he had.

I started read a book called The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison. A lot of the times I pick books because of their cover that's what I did in this case. The book is a fairy-tale like about a young prince and princess who have to marry but don;t want to. It reminds me of Romeo and Juliet but like the opposite. I like that at the beginning it tells the whole back story of how life came to be.  I don't really know how to predict what is going to happen, I want to say they will end up falling in love but it would be cool if for once the book wasn't to predicable.
