 Katharine white the minstrel.    

Katherine didn't a family well except a german shepherd dog that followed her around  since she lost her family a couple years ago for robbery.Katherine pretty much lived a small cottage by herself .Katherine was lucky if she got to  eat before sleeping being a minstrel not always came of with a good pay .Katherine would get dressed and get her cittern and see if she get hired or get money from people passing by her and give a couple copper, silver or even gold  coins.

  During some of her street performances Katharine heard a guard scream at her “you get over the lord ses your presences this instance !” Katherine grab her stuff and started running but got caught quickly by the guards so she started screaming “let me go you foolish beast!” but   they kept dragging her up the pathway to the manor to see the lord.

In shocked Katherin just continued walking,soon she was in front of the lord and lord told “oh you came!” “ i heard you your the best minstrel in town who can play the cittern.” the lord said with a happy smile.

Katerine now knowing what's going on said more excited then never said “Yes my lord.”

happy to hear that he offered her “in that case i will pay you 100 gold coins to come play at the party i'm going to throw.”After that Katherine walk back to her simple little  cottage and got ready for the party. and she started getting  ready she noticed something wrong with her cittern , it wasn't there. she looked all over the her cottage but never found it. she sighed “  where is it,it  must be somewhere around here i'd be sure i had it.” she said  with a gloomy sounding voice. She went around looking for her in town and retrace your steps but she can't remember exactly everything she did. But then she remembered where she dropped, it was where  she was running from them scary looking   guards.She went back to where she had ran from the guards, but for her  disgrace  the cittern had been broken into million pieces . She sighed as  She went to see at the shops to see where were she  could get one  quickly. But she couldn’t Find any and she started thinking of going  up to the manor and tell them that she couldn’t  but she was scared to get her head cut so she didn't go  no matter what.

So Katherine went back to college In search of her savings she saved for a nicer costume for her presentation to see if you could buy another cittern  before the party. but she remembered that  a cittern cost more then she had.So katherine whent to  Jake house another minestre who played all types of instruments. katherine ran and ask if she could borrow any sparing cittern for tonight, but jake said “ sorry i can't i also performing to night but if you want i can let you borrow it right and see if you can collect some money for a new cittern.”Decade Katherine an idea ,she left with cittern and left.

katherine later on started singing about great stories passed down to from her family your which is common for many ministries to do. after a while  us singing she got 2 silver coins and 1 gold coin enough  to buy  a new but cheap cittern.

finally katherine that was needed now she had to dress like a typical minister's did  with  a bright  colorful costume from head to toe. Katherine  ready to entertain entered the manor. She was surprised at its size  and  its  beautiful paintings which she could only imagine ever have in her dreams. After that she got ready and sanged  the story that she had experienced  That day and many more. soon after the party ended  is she had been hired to be the Royal minestres  of  the manor. now Katherine will be able to sleep in  the manor in comfortable bed made out of  wool.She had three cheers in celebrated with a friend and hurried back to her home getting her few  things she owned and left back to the manor before sunrise and found her new room in the manor and prepared her new songs she would perform for future parties  and or other events she were invited to which were many for the royal minstrels like katherine .                            The end.

To Kill A Mocking bird

Ready,set , don't fire

 Wow this part was so funny were Atticus comes home and seas Jean with the air gun pointing to Miss Maudie rear end.That literally made my day i couldn't stop laughing for some reason i think my mom must have been thinking i was going crazy.Either way I really wished she had shot like the window or the bushes to scare Miss Maudie because that be so awesome but at the end loved that epic funny moment.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

   Checkers and truth 

    I feel bad for Jean because she thought she actually wins in those checkers games with Atticus and Jem.Like that literally reminds me of my brother letting me win in video games which made me feel anger when he did that because it wasn't fair. Ethir way it was pretty nice that Atticus did that for her how nice hopefully i get to read in the next chapter them playing.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

 Guns and Mocking Birds 

  So guns are a thing in the book but i expected it 1930s something boy were supposed to be into those types of things. Also caught my that on page 119  Atticus said to Jem that "its a sin to kill a mocking bird."Which me that it might be for shadowing something that later will explain the name of the book

To Kill a mocking bird

 It's a secret

Wow the last ages of chapter 9 got me at edge of my seat.I loved how jean  was all childish and din't mind the comment Jack made to her about of "having an not lady like scar on her ring finger".But the best part in my opinion was that great for shadowing at the end of chapter 9 which pretty much made me go beg my brother to tell me the story not carrying about spoilers.(my brother already read this for HS).

That epic death

 The black plague was  75 to 200 million people and peaking in Europe in the years 1346–5 and its doctors was usually a dude in a black robe with a white mask with glass in the place where eye goes.Again I'm so happy that i was not born or lived during those types especially because of its medical service it was  awful.Can the black plague still appear during these days? not even in the video game do i trust this "doctor"

Medieval England at its high point

 Life in the medieval days were kinda rough,but during the year 1347 the population of England grew from 35 to 80 million which is actually pretty good.I feel that England is a great place and I'm happy that its population grew because if it hadn't it would have been rough for England to be what it is today.I wonder what wouldn't have had happen if its population hadn't grown.

witch or not

   Back in the mid evel days their where many superstitions but the most comen  superstition was the witch ,they where laws against black magic which most associated with a witch there were cases wear people burned people if they were accused with being a witch and with their powers killed someone. I'm not actually surprised that they thought that witches were real,they dint know much about many diseases or how to cure them so they probably just really thought it was black magic.My question is why did they burn the people and were they even 100% they were a ?omg witch craft

1300 was gross

In the 1300 the ways to tourcher people were extreme they would have really bloody stuff to not just to kill just tourcher you almost to your death plus the names they gave like rat chamber or mutilation etc.I amzed how grousem the people in the 1300 could be with all those toucheres machines for each type of crime.I wounder who created the first real tourcher matien and which one was it.link

Medical Attention

 Medicine in 1300:

 Medicine in the 1300 was Health and medicine in Medieval England were very important aspects of life yet most medicine back then was often basic and or even useless back in those days.I actually feel surprise that England had such bad medicine during the black death and I'm  happy that i wasn't born in those years because the black death killed 2/3 of  the of England's populations in 1348 to 1350 and i would have probably been one of those people because i get easily and often no matter what time of the year it is .But my question is how did 1/3 of England population survive?and how did they stop the black death?http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval-england/health-and-medicine-in-medieval-england/

The Outsiders

The Last Words:

Johnny: “Stay gold.”This quote is a just telling Pony boy to not turn into a heartless person like dally and not to drop out like Soda pop did.This part of the book supports what I'm saying."I have good grades  and a high IQ and everything."That shows how  Johnny wants Pony to stay so he doesn't become a drop out like Soda and into a heartless like dally and or a brainless person and he knew that Pony would listen to him now being at last moments and those where his last words.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

 The Fire continues: 

  

A super in shocked of how this  book can get me to hold my breath as something happens as it did when Scout got stuck in the fire.This book keeps getting better and better no mater what.Also i feel bad for Jean for her the lost of the book that was of Dill oh and her house too,i really hope she gets a home or somewhere to stay.For the next part i hope to read the silver lining for Jean and Jem  and get to see Dill again.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

Fire in morning:

Every when't from 0 to a 100 really quick.I'm amazed how the writer made everything super  happy and funny  for a moment and then quickly made it super shocking.I'm really hoping nothing super bad happens to Jean or Jem that's for sure my fear right now.For the next part of the book i hope to read that nothing extremly  bad happen to them and what happen to the burning house and how did it catch fire.

To Kill A mocking Bird

Snowy day: 

This part of the book so far has been the best part so far,i love that i get to see Jean and Jem enjoying the snow especially after having school canceld which reminds me of Alaska when me and my brother would check the school website to see if school cancel the next day we could enjoy the snow.Even after that it also bring more memories when they started doing the snowman which is really cool  to remember of those memories  just via a book.After that i really hope i get to see more time in the snow for the next part of my book.

                Girl Just Wanna Have Fun

I love getting home and trowing my back pack by my couch get my phone out and jumping unto my couch  and feel the comfort of my couch as i lay down with my phone and headphones on.As i plug in my head phones i lose all sense of time and cant well control .i imagine my self as i was in the video i am in the video what  would i have worn for it or what type of hair color i would i worn (white hair wold be cool or blue), either  way i end up singing along to my favorite songs even tho they are usually in Korean i end up saying it right, the rap parts are the part where i get lost a bit,and i just  end up mumbling it.The fun part is seeing my parents  and brothers faces as they pass by and might think a look like the girl form the movie the exorcist well less scary and gross looking.Yet i think i look cool  at my dancing which i improve on kinda  and sing well but then my family doesn't under stand what i am saying so they laugh it off or just walks away but still i love it and i don't stop. I start to get the dance moves of my favorite songs and sing/rap along  the parts of my favorite songs non stop.My parents see me the outside which looks to them as if am gone crazy but really i just trying to have a nice day of doing dumb stuff on my phone.My parents  may start to think i have gone crazy sometimes but they know i like to have fun and go a bit over board,but non the less, i have fun just my phone and head phones and feel happy even after  a long day in school i feel i can relax and escape the out side world and well be my self with no worries  of what i actually look like  outside my little bobble of crazyness' and i just have fun no matter what .

To Kill a Mocking Bird

 The lost of the secret hiding spot:

  I feel kinda sad after finding out that they had fill in the hiding spot when Jean and Jem where about to put a letter for the person who put the stuff there.Everything got me thinking if i would ever know who put the stuff there.So any way i wounder what is going up with Jem who has been acting strange towards Jean and trying to tell her something but ends up saying never mind.So for what i look for in the next part  is what will they do with the now lost good spot.

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Creepy soap dolls:

  So as Jem and jean are walking past "their" secret jackpot they see something white in there they grab the white things that was dolls of soap that  almost looked exact to them which i think one how creepy but yet  really interresting to find out who did does dolls and how did that person make without being seen.Also did that person the real owner of the secret jackpot if not how did that person knew that would find it there does are all it made me think durring the reading for the next chapter i hope to find out or at least get a hint of who that person is .

To Kill a Mocking Bird

The Hidden stash:

 Jean and Jem are now going more and to that secret stash place in the tree which now every thing in that place was their "property" which i wished that could be true so if i ever find something like that i could call it my own.Sadly that cant happen.Also does jem know a little more then just saying that something that might not be his yet saying it is because he found its his like really he is quiet older then jean.Any way the book is amazing i hope plot is something gets me one toes i wish for the next part of the chapter i get more details of  what will happen with the secret hidding spot plus if jean will ever that jean goes to second grade.

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Kids love :

To kill a mocking bird has gotten me surprised of  how quick it could make me me go from calm reading to awkwardly laughing  because of  the kiss that dill gave jean in front of Jem.I was super surprised by the turn of events plus i couldn't stop laughing  because of it which made me look crazy but still really good and got surprised because of Dill.Hopefully by the next chapter i get to see more awkward and funny moments between Jean and Dill so i can laugh more also to know what has happen to the sir from the other night that had been scared to death because of Mr. Radly's gun shot.

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Scared to death:

Jean,Jem,Dill have seen Mr. Radley shot a person, well not really  just in the air which makes me wonder why would you go there if you know it is super creepy.Also did no one heard the gunshot.Another thing was funny that Jem had gotten stuck on the fence  and had to leave without his pants which i loved imagening how he felt especially when he gotten asked  where his pants were.For the next chapter i hope to find out more of what happen at Mr. Radley.

To Kill a Mocking bird

Sneaking in at night:

 Dill, Jem and Jean are enter the Radley lot  going under the high wire fence to get to a window  which remainds me of me going over the  high fence of my house beacuse i had left my keys and my parents had locked the gate,but i could imagen it's easier to go trough a wire fence in my opinion.Also i am a bit amezed that they would go to such creepy place with just two friends which for me i would need atleast four more friends to come with.For the next part of my book I hope to see more dialogue exchange with Mr. Radley and more story with him .

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Sneaky Plan :
  

 Jean,Dill and Jem are plannig to give Mr. Radley a letter to ask him to come out and talk to them about what he does in there which i just don't get how that really would work out  an adult that  would listen to little kids just beacuse they ask.Also it's pretty funny imaginig how the where doing everything so like spies just to give a letter to Mr. Radley it's just so fun to imagen  it step by step of how they  looked and how the situation whent down.For  next time i hope to get to finish the chapter and see if they do give the card and what his response will be if gets the letter.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

    DRAMA IN THE SUMMER: 

Jean has been exclude from most the activities between Dill and Jem witch made feel bad for her ,but even tho dill asked jean to marry him but he forgot that it had happen but staked her out and and saying "she was the only girl he would ever love" which was kinda weird yet   entertainnig to play how the senario looked like in my head which made laugh.Also i was amazed that jean had beaten up a the dill twice i cant even imagen how that happen  or if dill lett win.As for what i hope that will happen when i continue reading this book is to get to know more about  her summer and if we see Burris again except in second grade tho when she goes back too school.
