The Conclusion

I feel like I should add a concluding post about "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" now that I've finished the novel. All in all it's a brilliant book filled with twists and turns as well as surprises. I finished reading the book wanting more. In fact, I didn't want it to end I enjoyed this piece so much! I want to spend time with these children and get to know them more.

It appears this novel will have a sequel because we're left with the teenagers in a boat with their headmistress stuck in their bird form. Where are they going, I don't know. Will they find the other headmistresses, I sure hope so. Will Miss Peregrine ever be in her human form, I want to find out. Where is our villain and what is he up to - I can't wait to find out. There are quite a lot of other questions that came to mind while reading the book, but because it's been a few weeks, I don't remember them all.

I want to know more about the kids from the home. I'd love to see more of their personality show through. I want to experience their peculiarities in depth. I'd love to fully understand Jacob's specialness - I think that might be part of the journey Jacob has to take... understand and comprehend this gift/curse he's inherited from his grandfather.

I can't wait for his sequel to come out. According to the most recent entry on his blog - which can be found here - http://www.ransomriggs.com/blog/2011/8/9/yes-there-will-be-a-sequel.html - he is working on the 2nd book. I hope it will be as brilliant as the 1st novel (I'll bet it is!). Until next time!

A Better Way

I must start out by saying I respect Rod Serling. He was a sapient man. His writing was phenomenal.  I enjoy listening to the dialogue of each episode of The Twilight Zone because there was true thought behind the words. It makes me think about my life and upcoming years as well as how people of the 1950's and 1960's viewed the not so distant future and the technologies that people thought would come with the 21st century. From what was written, I learn about my past. Things that were current - such as the Cold War and Space Race - were incorporated into many of the episodes. Serling was giving a commentary about those things as well.  He touched on not only topics of the day, but the fears for the future. He showed the viewer how the world could be Utopian but at the same time it was also a Dystopian place just by taking a different viewpoint of  a certain situation. In each episode there was someone who noted the graveness of the lifestyle humanity was living and of...

Mischievousness

   Here's a little piece I wrote for a challenge. I thought I'd share. Under the amber leaves of autumn, she perched on one of the high branches of the oak. Her elongated fingers wrapped around her perch as she leaned forward. Her blue eyes peered at the foliage-covered land below her. As the fall winds whistled through the branches, it whipped her long brown locks around her petite face and pointed ears. A mischievous smile twisted the corners of her lips upwards as two humans passed by. *What trickery shall I play,* thought the fae as the couple stopped under the tree she was in. As the lovers leaned in for a kiss, she whispered to a near-by spider. A pithy laugh escaped her lips as the arachnid lowered itself and spun a web between the two. Just as they were about to lock lips, one of the humans got entangled with the web. Screaming, the web was wiped away and the lovers left unaware of the folly of the moment.
