Speech On Inkheart By Cornelia Funke
Inkheart ~ by Cornelia Funke

“Dare to read aloud?” These words made absolutely no sense to me when I first read the back of this book. I would soon learn later on in the book that a man named ‘Mo’ had an almost unknown power of speech… I had judged the book by the back, I had no idea what to expect when I first started reading this book. I had misjudged the book, I thought this book was going to be bland and dry, but I judged the book by the first 30 pages.

I have really never read chapter books that much other than now. I’m excited for books that I will choose later in the year. Mainly because this book was super good. I have never expected so much from any book, especially since I have never taken the time to actually read. This story takes place in the early 2000s and where it took place is untold.

The book starts off bland, but then comes

She was not expecting them, but understood that it was important. The plan was to hide the mysterious book ‘inkheart’ at her huge library. Elinor or Eli (She goes by that a little bit during the book) had a huge passion for collecting and reading books. She has literal tons of books, some that are extremely rare. Mo had planned to stash the book at Elinor’s and stay there for a while. Dustfinger was a ‘fire-eater’ and a circus worker. He had wanted to put on a show for Meggie, so he did. But when he did, Capricorns men had broken into Elinor’s house to take inkheart and they ended up kidnapping Mo in the action. Dustfinger had went after them in an attempt to stop them after they had drove away. A day or so later Dustfinger had came back with no luck. Supposedly Mo had switched a different book with the inkheart. Which at the time Capricorn and his men had not known, but this had scared Elinor and Meggie. This had given Meggie thoughts of running away and trying to find her father. At the time they had no idea it was Capricorns men, other than Mo himself and

    Montag gets up in the morning and decides he does not want to go to work as a result, he calls in sick. Montag tells Mildred he is thinking about quitting his job, but she doesn't respond. Captain Beatty soon shows up with the intention of checking on how Montag is feeling. In all honesty it seems that he knows that Montag has at least one book. In a casual conversation in which he never directly confronts Montag, Beatty reminds him that books are not only illegal they are, also a waste of time. He then tells Montag that many firemen, at one time or another, steal books however, he says that it is a phase they quickly outgrow. Beatty then recalls the time when people read entire books. As time passed, all the books were condensed into short digests. Books slowly disapeared, and all anyone read were comic books and sex magazines. Before long, books were gone all together. Beatty claims that the government didnt make any formal statement of censorship but advanced technology simply made books useless. Then it was unanimously decided that men should all be alike and equal in intelligence. Since books were “loaded guns” that could give a person extra knowledge, they were all destroyed.…

    In this book, the main character had to go through a lot of internal and external conflicts throughout the book. Some of the internal conflicts the main character, Alex, had to face include keeping his mental strength that allowed him and his two sisters to stay alive. Some external conflicts include how Alex had to deal with his two sisters and make them do what he says since he was the next in charge of the family after their parents are gone and his older brother, Carlos, in the marines. I personally dont like the ending of the book. Why does Alex sister, Brianna, have to die? My favorite character in this book is Kevin. Even though Kevin died at a part in this book, he was a thoughtful person for Alex. Kevin always gave Alex food that he didnt need and helped him get one more bag of food at the food line every morning. After reading this book, I learned that making more friends will make a lot of difference once you are stuck in a difficult situation. I will recommend this book to any people that are interested in catastrophic situation.…

    I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…

    2. The expectation of an unpleasant event was very interesting. Elinor’s character controls her emotions and judgments with good sense and discretion. Prefers to keep her troubles secret, as she is always trying to make sure that her mother and sisters are untroubled by her private woes. She knew very well what the chances were of Robert and Lucy getting married and from the reading it felt like she had come to terms with it. Although when it confirmed the readers see a different side of Elinor.…

    Towards the lower end of my continuum, I placed the book Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I choose to put his book here because it was one of the easier books I’ve read this year, but it was not the least difficult. Cinder detailed the life of a girl living in the future as a cyborg, who had no recollection of memories from her childhood before the surgery that made her a cyborg. After meeting a royal customer who wished to hire her services as a mechanic, the mysteries of her past began to unfold. Despite the futuristic plot of this book, I felt the vocabulary was very simple, making it not very challenging to read. The themes, on the other hand, were slightly more complex, being that we should not have prejudices against people because they…
