Traditional books vs electronic books



I believe that electronic books are more exciting than traditional books because they are funnier and if you want, you can listen to them.Traditional books are more expensive than the electronic books, but if you are reading an electronic book, the only danger is that the battery may finish.Also the electronic books save trees because they don’t need paper  for their pages.

A review about my favourite book

 My favourite book is ''Love over time''. Its writer is Kerstin Gier. The main character is Gueni. A strange girl who can travel in the past and she can see ghosts that others can't see. I like her because she has a good character, but her family is unkind and strange (exept her uncle, her sister and her brother), because they have the gift to travel in the past. I don't like her grandma because she's the most unkind person of her familly. Gueni lives with her famiy. Her mum, her uncle, her sister, her brother, her uncle, her mum's sister, her cousin and their batler. She has a very good best friend who is always by her side, her name is Lesli. This story has three books: Red, Blue and Green Diamond. I think that if you lovve romantic stories you should read those books. They're from the publications ''Susaeta''. I like it for three reasons. Firstly it's about love. Secondly it's about trips in the past and thirdly it has many mysteries.

A fantastic book

Hello readers! I wish you all the best for this new year and enjoy the new year! In the holidays, Mrs Markaki gave me a very good book. I read it and that's why I am writing this text for the blog!

The title of the book was "Amazon Rally". It was written by Eduardo Amos and Elisabeth Prescer. In this story two friends from England, go to Brazil for a motorcycle race. Their names are Brian and David. The race starts well but when they get into the woods of the Amazon, Indians stop them! Indians think they are miners and they want to kill them. But the two drivers explain who they really are. Indians understand and they let them free. They explain their problem with the miners. Then Brian runs to the police station to inform the policemen about the miners who want to kill the Indians. The police come to the village and stop the miners. Then the two drivers continue their race and finish. But not first or second, last of all. But with the notice to the police, they saved the Indians' village.

That was a great story and I loved it! I again wish you all the best for the new year and enjoy the last five days of holidays!

My opinion on the book

The pages of the book nightmare before christmas were good and bad.They were good because they were a good start for a story and they were bad because they were a little BIT boring but they were ok.I liked Jack and the strange voice of the doctor. Αlso his voice was a little scary.the little stupid place was where Sally put flowers in the doctor's drink then when he fell asleep Sally RAN away but then the doctor woke up and rolled with his chair and caught her.I mean it was a little stupid becauce he was in a chair and he caught her.Also I liked IT when Jack lived in Halloweentown and went to the Christmastown and then when he returned Jack told the people of Halloweentown about the Christmastown.

Once upon a time there was a man called Winston Smith that lived in a society in which the government controlled every second of the day. They also controlled the mind with the thought police.There was the "king" of the government.This "king" was Big Brother.He controlledthe whole government with soldiers, thoughtcrimers and facecrimers (criminals?)

In every house there were two big posters.One poster wrote BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU and his eyes looked into yours and the other poster wrote"FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
WAR IS PEACE
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"

Winston worked in the Ministry of Truth.One day a big noise from the telescreen called all the workers in the center hall.Emmanuel Goldstein's face filled the telescreen.Behind his face there were a thousand soldiers marching.A girl got up and threw a Dictionary on the telescreen shouting"Pig,pig".She was a dangerous girl especially with men.

One day Winston called one friend ,O'brien, to discuss with him.O'brien told him about facecrimers.Then after the conversation he started getting back home. On the way he met a girl who was hurt and lay on the floor and he helped her get up.He took her home to look after her.But the thought police caught them and wanted not to punish them but to help them.After that they saw they were well and they set them free.Winston went to a café and saw Big Brother on the telescreen.Then he started crying.He finally loved Big Brother.

Another famous character is Abel Magwitch.He's a bad criminal that escapes from his prison and he's free again.He meets a boy and he tells him to find food and if the boy doesn't come back ,he will kill him.But the boy comes back and the criminal becomes a grateful man.
Dickens was a good writer, but he died on 9th June 1870.

CHAPTER 1 The wolf-pack hunts

The land was covered with snow and it was silent.Into the still lifeless landscape broke the sounds and movements of life -of dogs breathing and calling other dogs.Lots of dogs were pulling the long sled.

When the far-north of Canada freezes, it controls everything that lives and grows there.The strong and the clever ones live ,while the weak die.

Suddenly, a cry cut through the frozen silence. The two men looked at each other, but they said nothing.Then a second and a third cry, came from all around.


" They're after us ,Bill" said Henry who was in front of the sled.But the wolves came closer at night.

"How many dogs do we have?"

"You know we've got six ,but why are you asking?" Henry said.

" I'm sure that I saw seven pairs of eyes when I threw them meat"...

The call of the wild / Chapter 1: To the north

Buck was a big and strong dog which lived in Santa Clara valley in California. He lived with Mrs Miler and some other dogs in a very big place with lots of fruit trees, large gardens and a river nearby. Men found gold in the Yukon, so they wanted big and strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.

Manuel, a gardener, took Buck when Mrs Miller wasn't in the house. Buck thought that it was an afternoon walk. Manuel took him to two strange men. They put a rope around Buck's neck. The gardener paid them. The dog jumped on them, but they pulled hard the rope around Buck's neck and they put him in a train. Then, they took him to an old man. That man held a club and an axe. Buck jumped at him ten times, but the man hit him with the block ten times. The last time Buck fell again on the ground and he didn't move.

After some days a man took Buck and put him in a boat with other dogs to the north.When they arrived something soft and cold was under Buck's feet. He didn't know what it was and he started biting it. It was the first time he saw snow!
