BOOK REPORT

'Chain Of Hearts' by Maureen McCarthy was published by penguin books Australia in 1999. Chain of hearts is a story about a 17 year old called Sophie, her aunt Fran and her mother Geraldine, and their separate lives and issues with one another. Sophie has become unmanageable at home after the car accident that killed her best friend Mai. So as a last resort after trying everything but talking to her daughter, Geraldine sends Sophie to her sister Fran. Fran reluctantly agrees. Throughout the book you learn about all their pasts and why it is so tense between them all. I chose this book because its a recount of three different people three different story's and how they lapse together for no particular reason. three different woman that all have justified reasons to hate each other and how they overcome them because their family and they love each other book because all the main characters are woman and deal with no matter what! I love this book because you get involved with all their separate story's, its so easy to see things from there perspective. Because there are three different people you see and understand there actions and understand how they justify them. there is nothing in this book that i didn't like I've read it six or seven times and i love it more and more every time. i think everyone should read this book. Granted it is more of a girlyfeminine issues. it opens your mind.

The animals ask a number of questions about the possibility of rebellion - what are they and how do they connect to real life revolutions?
In a world of oppression and poverty it is hard to imagine anything else. This novel is a metaphor for the Russian revolution, the questions are used to show the thoughts that were going through the peoples heads when they had just started to explore the idea of a rebellion. 'why should we care what happens after we are dead' this question is brought up after the death of the major and ti represents the same questions that men, woman and children would have asked in any revolution 'why should we strive for something that will never happen in our lifetimes'. It is the fear of being punished or killed that kept so many people in all rebellions quite fear of the powerful. Fear is a human condition a feeling that everyone feels, but where would we be if no one stood up for the future generations? these questions and attitudes brought forward by the animals on animal farm are nothing new they have been asked in any rebellion whether it succeeded or not.

Look at the 7 commandments - where do they come from? do you think they will be effective in ensuring old majors vision - why or why not?
down somewhere or its just not acceptable to do so in that community no matter what it is there are All communities however big or small need a basis of rules. every community has rules whether there writtenstill rules that you live by. its no different in animal farm they need the 7 commandments to guide them and something that they all live by. the animals take the 7 commandments from what they were rebelling against - Mr Jones. ' what ever goes upon two legs is an enemy' Mr Jones was a human and walked on two legs therefor it was bad or evil to do so. 'no animals shall wear clothes' 'no animals shall sleep in a bed' 'no animals shall drink alcohol' these commandments are all directly related to Mr Jones. he wore clothes, he slept in a bad and he was an alcoholic the animals thought that Mr Jones was evil therefor in their minds everything he did was evil. the 7 commandments were not particularly effective because in rebbeling to one extreme they became the other extreme and that doesnt work because you end up becoming the same thing.

sophie is my soul sister lol
now back to my story..........
so tricia and madi(the narrator) arent that sad even though morgan is dead. tricia's arm hurt because of the spider bite and manny licked it better
ohhh maddie just did the best greys anatomy refrence ever
a minute later tricia gets the refrence and laughs
tricia said thank you. and she swore she would never clean her arm again. so off they went after manwidge the evil witch. they where hot on her trail. when they came to a really big mountain there was no other way to get around it. so they had no other choice but to go over it. because manny's nose assured him that manwidge was just over the mountain. the great big huge mountain was very dark and scary looking. but knowing there was no other way to save her beloved tricia decided to go on. they walked for hours and hours up and up through the drak and steamy forrest tricia was getting very hot and took off her jumper. suddenly there in the middle of the path was maddie the patchwork elephant she was quite a small elephant but elephants are really big so she still blocked the wholle path.
'help me help me' said maddie ' i've been stuck here for ages' she pleaded tricia felt very bad for maddie and decided that even though they were going to loose track of manwigde that they would help maddie anyway. and also they had to because she was blocking there only way over the mountain because the trees were so thick on both sides.
find out how they get maddie out of the forrest next time.

p.s. I LOVE MY SOUL SISTER

My story continued……..
So Manny, Tricia and Harry packed there lunches and went on there journey to free manny from the horrible spell that manwidge put him under. Now that Manny was a hound he had an amazing sense of smell, so he could track manwidge the horrible evil witch. so they went on there way. still tricia and mannys feelings were developing untill they couldnt even look eachother in the eyes for fear of seeing rejection. after walking for a couple of hours tricia got tired so she decided to ride harry. she got on harry only to find a spider on his back. tricia being fearless asked the spider its name.
' my name is morgan' said the spider. morgan then bit tricia on the arm very hard. this took tricia by surprise and accidently killed her. but tricia or the narrator (madi) didnt mind because morgan had been mean to them both

Once apon a time there was a girl called tricia she had black hair and pretty eyes. she was a princess in a far away castle. she had a trusty steed called harry and a big dog called manny. tricia didnt like dogs much but manny was different he was a handsome prince who had been turned into a hound by an evil witch called Manwigde. she had fallen in love with simon but when she found out that he was secretly in love with tricia she got really mad and turned him into tricia's most hated animal. but it didnt work because tricia found out that the dog that was following her was manny and no longer hated him. Tricia decided that she would save manny on her trusty steed, Harry, and manny decided to come. so off they went on there magical adventure to find the evil witch, Manwidge, and make her change Manny back to human form.
