Grimm conclusion 7th blog

Summary

I'm happy to say that I finally finished the book "The Grimm Conclusion". I was kind of happy about how the ended. I don't want to give it away but I actually enjoyed it. Unlike the other book "The Tale Dark and Grimm" where the author left the readers with a confused ending. I also liked how the other put "The end" and then you would flip the page and it was say "well maybe the end" because it gives readers like me an idea if there is going to be another book. I honestly do think that there's going to be another book because of how the book ended

Letter to author: 

Adam gidwits is truly and amazing author. You make your book so interesting and it grabs readers attention. For example in the first couple pagers of the book you ask if anyone has read fairy tales and you demanded the reader to raise his/hers hand. The author then Said " I don't care if you in a library by your self or if your with you friends, just raise you hand" it's like you knew what we are going to do. In the book I felt like you were literally talking to me. I really like your books and I truly think there should be one more book.

Summary 

I'm really close to finishing the book "The Grimm Conclusion". So far in the book Joringle makes his way to Hell to find his sister: Jorinda. This is a very important part of the book because without going to Hell he would not be able to find his sister and bring her back. On page 274 it says " The demon lead my way to the Devils house." The only reason why the demon was leading him to the Devils house was because the only way Joringle could get Jorinda out of hell is if he convincethe Devil. You might be wondering how she got to hell. Jorinda was killed in a attack and she went to hell because at one point she was a tyrant that ruled a kingdom, not to mention she was very evil and wicked. Joringle and Jorinda made a promise that they would never leave each other no matter what. Because they made that promise he went to hell to get his sister. 

Character traits

Joringle: Joringle is very brave and honest.

For example on page 154 it Joringle said "I'm not scared of the dark, I'll sleep in the wood if I have too." Not to mention that the woods was filled with deadly creatures and creepy objects and for him to say that he wasn't scared was kind of brave. 

Jorinda: Jorinda is a very optimistic  and mature. 

In the book on page 79 the prince finally found the perfect fit for the glass shoes that actually belonged to Jorinda. She tried the glass shoe and she was very calm and mature about it.Unlike other girls who probably would have bragged about having the shoe. Jorinda always is confident of what she does. She is also like a perfectionist, every thing has to be done the right way and her way. 

The Grimm Conclusion 5th blog

Summary 

Im in the middle of reading The Tale Dark and Grimm and so far in the book the Prince Finally finds the girl who fit into the glass shoe. Besides the evil stepsisters who cut off there foot to make their foot fit in the shoe, they both went riding along in a beautiful white horse back to the castle. *Dont forget that the prince is an Adult and Jordina is only 13, but at this point age didn't matter. The book takes a big turning point when the stepfather is killed. In one of the chapters it talks about how the stepfather died, when I started to read the chapter and realized that It was kind of like Karma. Because the stepfather killed Joringle and blamed it on his sister he died the same way Joringle died. In the book on page 67 its says "Joringle gazed at the view and suddenly turned into human". How? Because in order for Joringle to turn back to human his stepfather had to die. This is a major part in the book because knowledge of the stepfather died the mom has more time to spend with the kids. Now that the stepfather and the two stepsisters are not included in the story The mom still doesn't spend time with her two kids. That's when Jordina and Joringle decided to leave the house because their mom wasn't paying attention to them at all.

Aha moment 

In the book Joringle and Jordina come to a conclusion that they should leave the house after all the time their mom has not  paid attention and spent time with them. Jordina was already in the castle with her prince but she did not want to leave Joringle in the lonesome house by himself so after many efforts to get him out the house she finally did. This is a aha moment because they never realized that they they were being ignored until they were left all alone. They both were never taught to express their feelings, and because there mom wasn't around and because there dad was dead their stepfather always mistreated them. Therefor they were always scared to stick up for themselves. So after realizing that no one was ever going to be there for them two, they had to learn that they only had eacother. They had an Aha moment because they figured out that they actually had nobody the whole time they've been with their stepfather and their evil stepsisters. But because of this aha moment they learned to be strong and always stick together, because at the end of the day they truly only have each other.

The Grimm Conclusion (4th blog)

Summary
For my last book of the 4th quarter I decided to go with a different genre then what I usually read. The book that I am currently reading is called The Grimm Conclusion. This book is not teen fiction or realistic fiction, but instead its a Fairly Tale/ Folktale kind of book. The book is about fairytales but the author writes them as twisted ones. Basically fairytales with not a happy ending. There fairy tales with a dark side to them. For example if you ever watched Beauty and the Beast you know how Beast turn into a Beast literally. But the love they have for each other doesn't change. If it were in the "Grimm Conclusion" of course the story would be changed and would be twisted so that the readers can be more entertained by the wicked things that happen in the book. Anyway, what if there love changed? What if the Beast got so upset that he was turned into a beast that he ate Belle? What if they never got that happy ending that is supposedly in every folktale and fairytale all the time? Ive read all the Grimm books and I think that this one is the last one. The author also talks to you in the book which is pretty cool for example, the very first page of the book the author says "For example, raise your hand if you've ever heard of story called "Little Red Riding Hood". "You haven't?" "Oh,you have." "Then why aren't you raising your hand? "Go ahead and raise it ." I don't care how stupid you look, sitting in the corner of a library by yourself, or on the school bus, or in bed at night raising your hand for no apparent reason." (By the way he talks to the reader he bolds the words so that he doesn't confuse the readers.

characters: 

Stepfather: In the book the stepfather is very mean and ignorant. He blamed Jordina for killing her own brother when actually it was him because he really disliked him. He then forced Jordina  to burry the bones of her brother under a tree. The stepfather is a two face to me. For example when the mom of Jordina is not working and relaxing he's very nice and generous to Jordina, but when she heads back to work he's very abusive and rude. Jordina is treated very unfairly. 

Jordina: Jordina is very helpful. Jordina also cares about many people. For instance she really cared about her brother. In the book on page 8 before Joringle was murderd they both promised each other that they will go were ever each other goes and that they will never leave each other. Till one day Joringle  was murderd by his wicked step father. Ever since that tragedy Jordina has never been the same.
