Chapter 6

Hi guys, and welcome back to my blog :)

My class and I are meanwhile in chapter 9. We might choose between different tasks and I decided this one:

Chapter 6: Explain: What does Sam's dream-future look like? Is it a nice dream, a realistic dream or a nightmare.

Sam can't remember going to bed or falling asleep, the only thing he remember is waking up the middle of the night. Next to him is Alicia and a baby was crying. 

"I felt sick with shock, and I coldn't speak for a little while" (page 81 line 29/30) 

Sam is shocked that this baby is his baby and he after seeing the bedroom of Alicia the shock is bigger than before. The room has changed, there is a double bed inside and he can see "...the horrible pink and blue animal alphabet" (page 82 line 32) on the wall. 

He is really scared about the future and doesn't want that this is real. "Aaaagh! I don't want a baby yet!" (page 88 line 1) 

He know that he did a big mistake and he want to change it, but he can't... "And if it was my life thet I'd seen,well, I didn't want to love it." (page 99 line 23/24)

I think for him this dream was a nightmare, bacause he is really overtaxed with the whole situation and don't know what to do now...

To be continued...

 

Summary

Hi guys, and welcome back to my blog :)

I want to tell you what we knew so far about our book "Slam", and what we've done.

First we create this blog, and I think it was a good idea, because it's something different like always listening to our teacher or doing some tasks on a paper.

In every english lesson we get a new task about the next chapter and we've one week to post this task in our blog.

The chapter I liked most so far was chapter 2 and the task I liked was the one to chapter 3 and 4, because we had to analyze the characters and to find a answer to the question also in the text before.

All in all my opinion is, that writing a blog is intresting, and I really like this form to analyze a book. Good is also, that there is no "good", "bad", "right" or "wrong" opinion, bacause everyone see it on his own view and see always something different then the others.

That was my summary so far...

See you guys,

Chapter 3 and 4

Hi guys, and welcome back to my blog :)

I'm going to write something about a quote of chapter 3

"I wouldn't be so scared of her, then." (p. 56, line 22)

That sentence is from Sam's mother and seems interesting to me. It sounds a bit, that his mum is scared of Alica, but why? She's his son new girlfriend and normaly a mother is happy about that. So what is her problem with Alicia?

I'll summarize chapter 3 and 4 so maybe we'll know why she said something like that.

Chapter 3:

Sam and Alicia are now offical together . They do everything together, like going to the cinema or go outside. They love each other, but it seems, that Sam's mum isn't very happy about her son's relationship. She asks Sam if he had already sex with Alicia, but he doesn't know what he could answer. It's a bit strange, when your mum wants to know something like that, but what she's thinking about?

Chapter 4:

Between Sam and Alicia it's not so wonderful like at the beginning.It semms like he's a bit annoyed of the relationship and he starts living his life normaly, that means like befor he knew Alicia. He also thinks about breaking up with Alicia, but she still belives in their relationship.

So here is my theory, why Sam's mum is thinking, that the relationship between her son and Alicia isn't good:

Maybe she's scared that the couple does the same mistake like Sam's mum and they get a baby together with 16. But maybe she's just sad that his little boy is growing up now and lives his own life some parts without his mother ("My mum was worried about things changing, me becoming part of someone else's life and someone else's family, me growing up and not being her little boy anymore, me becoming someone else..." (p.56, line 24-28))

So that was something about chapter 3 and 4. A text about chapter 2 is coming soon.

Hope you like it :)

See you guys,
