chance response post

hello everyone,
the blog I chose is : http://onceuponatime-emily3.blogspot.com/2012/01/carmen.html
it is emilys blog and i like it because you can really tell she connected to the characters, she relates to them as if she knows them and she is very eager to find out what is happening next. I only enjoy a few books I really like so I'm glad she can enjoy every book that she reads. or at least is seems that way. I picked her cause she had a good length and you can tell she really dug in and is interested by the book.

Chance true grit post

In true grit, rooster is a very strong character. He is old and wise. I think he tries to act tough but he really has a soft heart (but only towards good people)for example he will just shoot down any bad guy he sees. But he will go far out of his way to save a good or innocent person. Even thow he charged the girl for chasing down Chaney, I think if he got to know her, he would of done it for free. I think rooster is a good modest guy but he just docent want to admit that to himself.

true grit (the book came first)

Im in the middle of true grit and here are some of my thoughts on the main characters quest to find Chaney.
I haven't seen the movie but i plan to after i read the book. I am at the part where she confronts rooster about trying to find Chaney. I think she is very brave for being so active in trying to avenge her father. I think that if I was in her situation i would try to get Chaney to help me too. If that failed i would grab my best friend (if he is willing) and go try to find Chaney with him. It would be a fun adventure but we would probably end up dead. I am very interested in western culture and am exited to finish the book.
