Speak About the End

In class we have recently finished reading the novel and movie Speak. We were required to create a digital dialogue or personalized podcast, about advice we would give Melinda Sordino, who is the main character in the novel. Speak is a story about Melinda, the main character,  who had been raped at a party and called the cops. Nobody knows her side of the story, so everybody hates Melinda, she has trouble in school and becomes depressed. The story shows how she is able to start to overcome these obstacles. This was a good book, that has alot happening, and I would highly recommend it.
I'm still leisurely reading my choice read book, The Hobbit. which is becoming more interesting each chapter. Bilbo finds his friends and then explains how he made his way out of the mountain. However, he doesn't mention his the magic ring.Gandalf gets everyone moving again since only the sunlight is keeping the goblins from coming after them. The group is a bit north of where they had planned to be, and they have difficult country to cross. Evening comes as they pass through the trees. Suddenly, they hear the howling of wolves and barely have time to scurry up into the trees before the wolves descend upon them. The beasts are actually wolflike creatures called Wargs. The Wargs are allies of the goblins, and they quickly notify the goblins of the situation. The goblins begin to arrive and, laughing at the company’s predicament, light fires under the trees in which Gandalf, the dwarves, and Bilbo are hiding.Gandalf prepares to attack the goblins, hoping to kill as many as he can before they kill him. Luckily for the company, the Lord of the Eagles has seen the commotion from his roost high in the mountains. With a number of other eagles, he swoops down, picks up the marooned travelers, and flies them to safety. The eagles are friends of Gandalf’s and enemies of the goblins. They are happy to provide food and rest for the weary travelers, who then continue on their journey.
