SOMETHING UPSTAIRS

Hi all , this is a book that ive just read and its entitled Something Upstairs.When i picked up this book from the library, and saw that it was from AVI, i knew this book would not disappoint me.

The story is about a boy , kenneth , who is a fan of AVI, suddenly wants to tell AVI a strange story.

The day comes when kenny has to move from Los Angeles to Providence.As far as kenny was concerned, LA was perfect, so , he didnt like the idea of moving to providence.Los angeles had flowers on every street, it had beautiful weather, unlike providence.

The saga all starts when Kenny finds a stain in his house.As he thought, a stain is just a stain.
A few nights after he settles in , he hears a scraping sound during his sleep.he tried to find it , and at last , he found that it was a ghost slave trying to escape from his memory, as according to the ghost, memories cannot be changed , so he cannot use the door to get out , as his memory limits to the room.

The story shows how kenny helps the ghost, Caleb, to escape, with lots of action in between.

Book review on Anita Desai's Village By the Sea

Hi everyone, I have just finished reading village by the sea by Anita Desai and I am going to say somethings about the story.I am going to introduce some characters, The protagonist of this story are Hari and Lila,their mother is sick almost throughout the whole story and their father is permanently drunken.They have two small sisters, Bela and Kamal,who are still schooling.Hari and Lila,have quit schooling ,to make ends meet in the family.They have to asume the roles of their parents as they have a dysfunctional family.
The main themes in this book are Poverty and wealth, Benefactors,Change and adaptation,rural and urban India,family relationships.I like this book a lot because it creates tension, like in some parts,when Hari is desperate and thinking what he should do to save his family from poverty.Its a very good book and i recommend everyone to read it. dont forget to visit my electronic bookshelf at My we read bookshelf

Refection on starting and maintaning a blog

It looks like Ive kind of succeeded in maintaining a blog. Before i even started a blog i felt very negative about blogs as I had no knowledge about blog templates and other stuff so I felt inferior as I thought that my classmates were all blogging experts .Luckily,only a few were experts.
Likes and dislikes-Blogging is quite an interesting precess for me as no paper is needed ,plus widgets and gadgets can be added to make it look better.As you all can see,I love the picture of the bat-dog I have uploaded using blogger.Thats the difference between blogger and a black and white diary.What I dislike about blogging ,is the trouble of booting up the computer,as my computer does not have a Random Access Memory as quick as the schools' and plus, recently, I'm facing some DNS server glitch, going to the internet is a little problem.The whole process I think is quite efiicient already, Im not sure how it can be improved.Well, remember guys, if any of you wants to see my electronic bookshelf , please visitmy bookshelf
