Alice's adventures in wonderland

 The book that I chose to read is “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carrol. I chose this book because I kept debating between 3 books I found online. I ended up choosing this book because I have watched the movie “Alice in Wonderland” and figured this book would have been very similar to the movie. Some of the most important events that I read in the book was when Alice was sitting down with her sister and suddenly a rabbit runs past her and she then notices the cat taking out a watch from its pocket and talking to itself, and Alice goes running after the rabbit and ends up falling into another dimension. Another important event that happens in this book is how Alice finds all of these magical creatures during her time in the other dimension and she cannot believe what she is seeing. The last event that i found to be important is how Alice has to face all of these challenging obstacles to later find out that it was all a dream when she woke up next to her sister. What I did not enjoy reading about this book was how Alice gets treated unfairly while she's in the other dimension and she consumes a bunch of different things she finds that will change her size or give her magic to stand up for herself. Another thing I did not like about this book is that Alice did not have enough time to explore during her time there but the good thing is that Alice returned back home to her family safely. A quote that stood out to me from this book is "If everybody minded their own business," "the world would go round a deal faster than it does." This quote stood out to me because if everyone would worry about themselves, life would seem to be going much faster than it is because there would me no arguments between one another.

Catching Fire

  This book is called catching fire . The authors name is Suzanne collins. I chose this book because I read the first book and I found it extremely interesting and fun to read, it also has many action scenarios that make a lot of suspense. This book talks about a separations between the poor. Society and the rich society, while the rich ones live a very comfortable life, the poor ones have to work hard to barely get some money. The poor people is separated in districts and is forced to play the hunger games, to play this games two persons of each district are chosen randomly and taken to an arena to fight to death. What I really enjoyed about this book was the trama and the suspense, and about the story I will say everything. Something I will highlight about the story that we can really see in the real world, is how the powerful people take advantage of the poor people, forcing them to work hard without even getting paid, also how the rich people see the poor society, they threat them

A Winter amid the Ice

  A Winter amid the Ice by Jules Verne was a fantastic book to read and the exciting adventure let me get away from reality and be immersed aboard the British ship “Foward” a long side strange captain Hatteras and his right hand Shannon. I chose this book because in Mexico my grandparents had a room filled with books and they have this whole collection on Jules Verne, I wanted to read it but once I was old enough to comprehend the story I moved to the US and it wasn’t until 9 years that I was able to read the book thanks to my grandparents visiting us and bringing the book to me. What I liked the most about this book was the thrilling and nonstop adventure of how the “Foward” made it to the Arctic Ocean and struggled to get back so much that the ship had to be abandoned to survive. My favorite character is Duck, Duck is Hattera's dog and at the beginning of the story, everyone in the Foward thinks the dog is the Captain because of his elegant behavior. An important line in the nove
