Hello everyone, this is Connor. I'm sorry that I haven't done anymore blogs like this, I've gotten my own Google email account thanks to my mother. For the last few months I have been writing blogs for a young woman named Stephanie who is immobile and most move around with a motorized wheel chair and is just recently in the hospital for medical procedures. With that out of the way, I'd thought I'd like to talk about  book I've just finished and I'm now writing a book review about. And that book is The Trumpet of the Swan. It's about a young Trumpeter Swan  naked Louis that is unable to speak. His father feels pity for him, so he decides that out of love and compassion, to steal a trumpet from a music store for his son. Afterwards, Louis befriends  a young boy named Sam Beaver, who the latter takes an imitate liking to. After Louis becomes  a hit with the trumpet he then tries to impress his childhood love, Serena. This book is not just a children's book, it's a book for adults, made by books for adults. It's one of the books that you cannot put down once you read it. The themes in this book seem to be about overcoming your disabilities, and if you can truly rise to the top and become the best of the best. And despite not featuring a main villain, (though there may be an animal predator that threatens to devour the Swan family) the main conflict is that fact that Louis himself is trying to juggle his personal life and his professional life. He's doing his best to to try and make a living and attempt to restore his father's honor and grace. The other characters we focus on are Louis' parents, who are never named(even the movie, which I'll talk about. HORRIBLE!) help Louis with his own inability to speak, like all great parents. The main HUMAN character is Sam Beaver, a young boy who becomes fascinated by the Trumpeter Swan family and later befriends their Louis. Another thing I'm always fascinated by in fiction is the friendship between a boy and his animal companion, and this story is no exception. As Sam Beaver and Louis becomes closer, Louis begins to practice better into a professional trumpet player. And that's what the message of this book is. That, no matter who or what we are, if we learn to overcome our disabilities, we can truly reach our dreams, and never give no matter what.

That's it for this review but I'll try to be back soon.

Hey folks, Connor Brown here. I'm sorry If I haven't done another blog or blog-list now. I've more recently got my own Email account curtsy of my mom and I'm also sorry if I didn't do all of my spooky Halloween blog-lists. I got too caught up in my housework and what-not. So to make up for it, I'm going to have a new set of Halloween-eqsue blog lists for January and February 2015 under the made-up month of Jaunscary/Februscary.

The other blog list besides my Top 10 Scariest Cartoon Villains Lists are:

the Top 10 Most Evil Animated Villains
the Top 10 Animated Villain Bases of Operation
and finally, the BIG one, my Top ?number? Favorite Animated Villain Songs!

Well, that;ll be all folks!

I'll try to make more Halloween lists as possible!

Just be patient so I can make my villain lists as well as my Email account!

Goodbye!
