Part 1

Reflect. Indeed the first part of the book gave me Goosebumps. The beginning is just a part of the whole book which is most thrilling. It is my first time to read this kind of book and I think sci-fi is a genre that is worth reading especially Koontz as the author. The book gives some guidelines if the world may be invaded by ET’s. You can feel the emotions of the characters. The author achieved its goal, that is to entertain the readers and maybe sort of to scare the readers. I think the book is very good and recommendable. It was kind of Molly to follow her instinct of saving the children from the things that surrounds them. The foul smelling moss crawling to the trees and inside the house. Those creatures that is grotesque in form. It’s a matter of survival.

Connect. Everytime it is raining I can imagine what Molly had done when she woke up in the middle of the night at the porch with the coyotes. Well, the end of the world is coming, it’s just no one knows when. There are many predictions about it like alien invasion, pandemic, a large meteor and many onthers. So, if this time comes, we must be ready at all cost. I come to think of it as guide to whenever these things appear in the future I may know what to do.

Question. Why did the prince of the aliens retreated? When Molly encountered this alien in the bank and said something as guardian to the children, the alien withdraw and went back to the hover above the building. I wonder, what may be the reason? Even Molly could not fit the puzzle. It also leaves this question mark in the readers mind. But I guess, the alien doesn’t want to invade the Earth anymore because of the courage and braveness that it saw from Molly for protecting the children.

Predict. After that encounter in the bank the day after was peaceful and everything returned to their original state. The sun was shining. Then, there were some who arrived by group consists of adults, mostly children and pets. I predict that, soon the children will forget the entire worst things that had happened and think of it as bad dreams that will never happen again. As for Molly and Niel, well there having a baby, and I guess they will try their best to move on and be happy.

Part II.

Ends at Hand

Rain, you’ll never know

What can be seen over the window?

Be prepared now till tomorrow

It brings darkness

With air full of foulness

Fills your heart with emptiness

They see, hear, and smell

Summons creature from hell

Without mercy they kill

Child at ease

Tutelary brings peace

Worlds end at its consequence

Part 1

Reflect. Shakespeare and Smythe were very wise to solve the conspiracy that they were involved. With different interest and reason of going to London, they both see each others company as destined. It was also very clever. The events turned out to be thrilling.  Following their dreams led them into this adventure that will test them. At first I thought it was just an ordinary story, but I end up reading the whole book. Once you’ve opened it and start to read the lines, you cannot put it down. Every line and chapter has this suspense that will make you wonder and let you asking for more, and that you’ll never you’re finishing the book. I think Shakespeare and Smythe are clever to solve the mystery and at the same time slowly achieving their dreams. I thought it was a story of murder but then when I am hallway through the book, it was all a set up.

Connect. Their eagerness to follow their dreams led them to London. Well, I think it is very inspiring that one should believe in their dreams if one really wanted to achieve it. Even though it is difficult, one must face the trials in order to achieve ones goal and enjoy life, because you’ll never know what will happen in the future, life is full of adventure. I would also like to play as an actress in a theater, because I have this affection in role playing. I remembered when I was in high school, we had this role play for our subject, and I was chosen as the lead. After the play, I was complemented as the best actress among the whole class. I was overwhelmed so I decided that acting could also be my forte.

Question: Why would Gresham (the bad one) let himself gamble in that kind of situation? I think it is maybe because of money. No more no less – money.  With Elizabeth as his fiancé, surely he will have all the access to the riches of the Darcie’s. But I think, it is not worth the risk, because sacrificing your own life for some money! Too much greediness.

Predict. I predict that the love that bloomed between Will and Elizabeth will flourish.  The, Will and Symington will finally achieve their dreams at the stage of London, performing and writing plays. After sometime, they will become known in the entire London for their exquisite talent.

Part II.

Complete a number of sentences

What I wanted to happen was there is only one Gresham.

What I really liked was there were hidden characters beside their role.

What surprised me was the conspiracy of the situation.

What I most admired about the main character was they were and clever.

What I hated was the main character was mistaken as spy.

The most exciting part was when they already knew who the real spy was.

What I expected in the story was it’s just a simple journey of following one’s dream.

What surprise me was when the good Gresham was mistaken as bad Gresham which at first I didn’t know.

My first impression of the book was maybe it was an inspirational book with twisted events which is all about making mistakes in life.

I never thought that the book was something I never expected and the story itself is thrilling and full of suspense.

Part 1

Reflect. “Age doesn’t matter” with love. The love story of Amanda and Jack is truly enchanting and yet unexpected. I guess their love was not dictated by nature but by genuine feelings. Well, it all started as hate, then to love. I think they were madly fond of each other because even though their sons and daughters dis agree about it, they have fought their love.

Connect. My grandparents were in love with each other, just like Jack to Amanda. My grandfather was dependent to her love. But, when death took my grandmother, he was devastated. After a few months, I knew about this girl that my mother used to say “hired” as an assistant. But I thought of maybe something else. I was right. At first I was angry and couldn’t understand anything about the situation.  Then, my mother tried to explain it to us; she said that our grandfather seeks the care of a wife and a lover. With that, we realized it’s not bad at all, as long as my grandfather is happy, we all are happy.

Question. Why would Paul disagrees with the relationship between his father and Amanda? Maybe, because Paul was over the top and was stress about his relationship with her wife, Jan, that’s why he cannot think wise. Paul may not see the bright side that may happen to his father. Jack and Amanda would be happy, or maybe because he doesn’t want any trouble from the press and wrong gossips that would probably destroy the image of both sides. But, no matter what, their feelings for each other and the special delivery they have received will not separate them.

Predict. With the unexpected special delivery that had arrived, Paula and Jan would be happy, for they will be a complete family. And of Jack and Amanda, I predict they would travel far from the media, and would continue living together and probably get married. Louise on the other hand, may learn to accept the truth, get on with and be happy just like everyone else.

 Part II.

Character Report

Jan. She is calm and a loving wife to Paul. She is the daughter of Amanda. When she learned about the relationship between her mother and Jack, she was happy instead of disagreeing and she is also supportive. I learned to Jan that accept all things/situation around you because it may bring good luck and happiness that will surprise in the future.

Amanda. She is loving and passionate towards her family. When her husband died, she was devastated. She took comfort from the word of her daughters, Jan and Louise. Well, Amanda in the novel is loyal, not until Jack entered her life. I learned from Amanda to follow your heart and be happy with what ever circumstances one might encounter as long as you believe in love.

Jack. Jack is arrogant. He had a lot of relationship which is not serious and maybe just for fun and to get over his wife who died. But, when he falls in love with Amanda after comforting her from the death of her husband, slowly she got to know Amanda well. And because of that, he realized that Amanda is not what he thought Amanda would be. Jack is serious when it comes to loving Amanda. I didn’t expect Jack would turn out to be the opposite of arrogant. I learned that finding the right man/woman to love is like a journey and only the heart can tell. When you know your true love is there, don’t let him/her go, instead live happily and cherish each moments.

Paul. I think of Paul as selfish. He doesn’t understand the need of his father, or maybe there are issues that he doesn’t want to be involved with. Even though Paul disagrees, he is still supportive to Jack.

Louise. Just like Paul, Louise also disagrees with the love affair between her mother and Jack. She is very different from Jan. She is frank. In my point of view, Louise has these issues between her and her family, that’s why when she knew about the affair she was angry and frustrated. But all along Louise is a good daughter, and was only telling her opinions.

Part 1

Reflect. Queenie Logan and her daughter Gillyflower were undaunted to face the circumstances that came their way. The events turned out to be exciting and with a touch of suspense. I think Queenie and Gilly have strong hearts and burning desires that was used to bring them to solitude. Even though Queenie has no money, and the father of Gilly is nowhere to find, Queenie worked hard for her daughter in order to raise her and to give her good life. The motherly love Queenie possessed in the story was inspiring. As a daughter, Gilly in return also worked hard and was inspired; she turned out to be beautiful lass with desires and skills to achieve their goal and make it out of Rose Alley, the most dangerous part of London. There’s no other extraordinary love than a mothers love to her daughter in spite of hardships.

Connect. All mothers worked hard for the benefits of their son and daughters. They sacrificed so much, starting from giving birth to taking care of their infants, until working to earn some living to provide the needs of her family. Just like Queenie, my mother raised us all by herself, but maybe with a little support from my father at least to give him some credits. She worked hard, in order for her to send us to school. Indeed mothers are the greatest gift from God.

Question. What if Jem did not encountered the brawl with his father and wasn’t blinded? Would Gilly still be loyal to Jem? I think Gilly and Lucas has a strong connection even though they did not spend so much time together, but they have this connection that only their heart knew all along. I think even though Jem wasn’t blinded, if she truly love Gilly , he would set her free, because ,no one can dictate what the heart feels. And besides, Anne is there for Jem no matter what.

Predict. At the end of the novel, Gilly woke up inside the room with Lucas. Knowing that Lucas will love and protect Gilly as long as he lives, I predict that their marriage will be fruitful and full of joy. Everyone will be happy for them; after all they had a tough time moving on from the situations that had have overcome. So now, no one can stop Lucas from having Gilly all by himself. Also, I think Jem would accept it some time, because it was Gillys choice to be with whom she loves.
