Dragon rider #2

NAME          Max Gruenberg         DATE      2/27/08
TITLE              Dragon rider        TIME      1 hour
AUTHOR        Cornella Funke   PAGES      50-15o
TOTAL PAGES THIS WEEK      100

            I think the most mean charecter in the book is nettlebrand. Nettlebrand is a golded dragon who uses little slaves to clean his "golden" scales which are really fools gold.  He travels through the sours becuse his amour is to heavy to fly.  His slave is the last of eight slaves (brothers) who he ate , twigleg about a foot tall.  Twigleg cleans nettlebrands teeth, cleans his fools gold, is given no breaks, chips his nail and cleans the dirt out of his scales.   

           In the story nettlebrand has a knome replace for twigleg as the foot high creature follows  firedrake(main charecter(dragon)).  nettlebran sent twigleg on this mission because firedrake is the type of dragon that nettlebrand likes to hunt.  Back in the day the fierce dragon would pop out of the earth and snatch a dragon.   He thaught that he had hunted them all but when he found firedrake he realized that there were still some left.  He sent twigleg on a trip to spy on firedrake intil he found his pack and than he would tell nettlebrand wher they were so he could hunt him.

Dragon rider #1

NAME: Max Gruenberg DATE: February 24, 2008
TITLE: TIME: 60 min. HOURS: 1
AUTHOR:Cornella Funke PAGES:1-50
TOTAL PAGES THIS WEEK: 50


If i had to pick a friend in the book rite now i would pick Firedrake.   Firedrake is a dragon who is vary courageous and cool. He is a night blue color and can do all sorts of cool things. One of the cool things he can do is fly and that would be vary fun. He also can shoot blue sparks out of his mouth which is really cool. Firedrake is not only cool but he is vary nice and isn't disrespectful. I would want Firedrake as a friend and his attitude is a model for everyone.

The most surprising part in the book would be when the boy meats the dragon. This was most surprising because the boy was hiding in a sewage place behind a crate and the dragon just flew in. I was surprised the boy showed himself to the dragon without fainting or having a physical effect. What was more surprising was when the dragon let the boy on the mission which is to find a place where all dragons can live in Harmony without having to flee from humans.

I have lived a thousand years #3

1. I think that the Germans tried to get all the jews in the bush's so that the american planes would not see anybody at the sight so they wouldnt shoot and the Germans could go back to killing as many Jews as they can before they were liberated by America.

I Have Lived A Thousand Years Post #3

Why do you think the books title is "I have lived a thousand years"?

I think the title is "I have lived a thousand years" becase living in the holocost is like living a thousand years becase all you do is eat a little and work and then die.

Do you think that Bubi, Elli and her mom will find any reletaves?

I dont think that they will because as Elli explained each charecter they didnt seem very inteligent or athletic unlike the father, mother, bubi and Elli.

I have lived a thousand years #2

If you were stuck in the situation that Elli is in how would you cooperate with the Germans? Why would you act like that ? Would it help you survive?


I think that I would cooperate with them as best as I can. I would do that because they would shoot you if you were a bother. That would help me survive

I have lived a thousand years#1

I find this book very interesting and I couldnt stop reading it is one of the few books that i enjoy reading. Part of it is because one of my favorite subjects is the holocost.

I dont think that bubi or his father will get caught because they are very smart and could get out of it. But the nazi's were also looking really hard for jews so I have mixed feelings on the subject.

I think that it was a bad Idea for the father to try and get his son because the rest of the family needs a man to survive during a period as dangerous as this one. I think he was lucky that he made it back.
