The book that I am currently reading is "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. A quick summary of the book so far is that Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment at a Swiss Research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol that was seared onto the chest of a murdered physicist and he diescovers that an ancient underground group, the Illuminati, has resurfaced to take out its most hated enemy, the Catholic Church, with an "anti-mater" bomb in the heart of the Vatican City.
So far, this book has been pretty good, and it is a suspence novel that is exciting to read, just like other Dan Brown books. I'd recommend it if you like a high pased novel that excites you and leaves you on the edge of your seat.

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
The book that I am currently reading is "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. The book is about a Harvard professor, Rober Langdon, is invited to lead a seminar at the Capitol Building. During the time that he is there, there is a mysterious man, who was the one who invited Langdon there, who has placed clues around the Capital Building; after Langdon realized that he was lead there to do a task for him, which is for Langdon's friend's life, who is being held hostage by him. Langdon knows that if he gives the man what he wants in exchange for Peter's life, the results would be dangerous.
The Autor of this book, Dan Brown, is a good author, and he has written other suspence and thrill novels, such as The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress. If you like novels that keep you on the edge of your seat, I'd recommend reading his books

Characterization in Fahrenheit 451
In this post about Characterization in Fahrenheit 451, I am going to write a little bit about the characterazation of Mildred. Mildred is Montag's wife in the book, and she is one of the main characters introduced in the begining of the book. From some of her actions in the first scene where she was introduced, it is shown that Mildred has taken a bottle of pills and passed out. I can infer that Mildred doesn't like the society that she lives in, and would pefer to not be a part of it, or she is confused about how the society she is in is supposed to work/help her. Her feelings toward Montag are a little sketchy in the first scenes she is in, and she doesn't really show any emotions towards him for helping her after she passed out, and she looks like she uses him for financial support and money, as she wanted to use 1/3 of his yearly pay for things around the house, such as a large television.
Some important quotes that she has said is "What about last night?" That is refering to the events the night before, as she had no idea of what happened after she had passed out, and if she did remember what had happened, she may have been trying to ignore what had happened. A quote that Montag had said about her is "I wanted to talk to you...You took all the pills in your bottle last night." This says that Mildred had taken the pills, and she was presumably unaware that she had, and because she took them all, she had made Montag worried about her and her actions.

Final Blogger Reflection
Click this to go to my best blog post!
That post shows how the main characters interact with each other during the story, and help advance the plot further than it would normaly go. Everything starts off with a chain reaction when two of the characters talk to each other, and it starts a series of events between all of the characters involved in the story, such as Rachel being asked by the President, Zach Henry, to help verify the meteorite that NASA found, even though her father; Sedgwick Sexton, is Henry's opponent in the presidential race; and he strongly dissaproves of NASA's recent history. But Rachel agrees to Henry's request due to a dislike of what her father is doing. They also develop over the cource of the text by gaining new knowledge based on things they learned being caused by the reaction that started at the very begining of the book.
Some goals I have for the next trimester in terms of reading, is to better understand things like vocabulary and diction better than this trimester, as those were two things I struggled with the most this Trimester. I think that I can also build apon what I have learned this trimester more in depth and to go closer into details about them. In terms of writing, I would like to be able to write things with all of the elements we learned about this trimester. I would also like to be able to make a piece of writing that includes more descriptions and lots of litilary elements. One area I would like to improve both in reading and writing is using diction.

Book recommendations
After reading "Deception Point" by Dan Brown, I would strongly recommend reading any of his books, like "Digital Fortress", and "The Da Vinci Code". Dan Brown is an amazing author and he writes books that are very descriptive and wonderful. I would also recommend reading a type of book where secrets are being kept from the main characters, and someone is trying to stop them from learning about it, like "Trust" by Tim Metty. All of these books are amazing creations of their authors, and it is definitely worth checking them out to read!
Review of "Deception Point" by Dan Brown
Overall, I give the book "Deception Point" by Dan Brown a 9 out of 10. I gave it that because it was a book that always kept you on the edge of your seat, and made you want to read it again. I did that quite a few times with the ending. I would strongly recommend reading this book If you want to read a book that can keep you awake all night reading it. It is "that" good of a book. Seriously. It is!
If you would like me to answer any questions about the book, I will be more than willing to answer them. This book is definitely one of the best books I have read, and it leaves you hungry for more (in a good way).

What I think is going to happen next in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown
So far, in "Deception Point" by Dan Brown, Rachel has been whisked off to the Arctic Circle to look at a meteor that crashed into an Ice flow, and has something NASA is excited about on it. What I think NASA might be excited about is maybe saying what the Earth is actually made of, or maybe some new element that has never been discovered before, and only comes from the deep reaches of space. Im not really sure what Is going to happen, but I Think it might come between the two people in the election for the president of the United States, but anything could happen. I know that something is going to happen with the meteor, though.
