Post J

Ok, so I know I read two chapters of my book in class on Wednesday, but I have no idea what the chapters were about, so...yeah. They were good though. I just have a really bad memory. Oh no wait! I remember! I had just reached the part where Mattie was accepted into college. EXCITING!!!! But she doesn't think she's going to be able to go because her dad won't let her. I also met Royal in these chapters. I don't like him. He seems like he's just interested in Mattie for her land and not for her, and he doesn't really understand her. Mattie really wants to go to college and become a writer, and Royal wants her to fit into the norm for society--becoming a wife and fulfilling a wife's duties on the farm. Mattie seems to like him though, so that should be interesting.

On another note, I just realized this week that the author of A Northern Light, Jennifer Donnely, commented on my first post about this book. So if you're still reading this, thank you very much for taking the time to read my blog, I hope you like my comments! I'm really liking your book so far. And if you're not reading this, then I guess I'm writing this paragraph for no one in particular. But oh well...

Another blog post to come soon!

That Royal guy sounds kinda interesting, I mean, who names their kid ROYAL? That's like... implying something that's not true? I geuss it says something about his character. :P
