The Little Pilgrim's Progress

My mom and dad gave me a book called LITTLE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS . I like it because Christen still believed that Callestal City really did exist when all the boys in town laughed, doubted, and mocked him saying, you can't believe that those tales are true. He stood up for what he believed in.

I learned that you need to stand up for what is right. If you obey your guide, you will be safe. My guide are God and my mom and dad. I also learned not to be lazy, because it is sinful. The lazy in the book got punished. You will have to read the book to find out what happens to him.

There was a lot of symbolism in the book, kind of like "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe", another one of my favorite books. the King was supposed to be like God, the bright ones were like angels, the Callestal City was like Heaven, the wicked prince is like satan, the servants are like demons, the prince's castle is like Hell and the town that was blocking the way to King was like sin. Christen is maybe ten years old, which is very young to be traveling alone. His friend Faithful was killed and the white ones that were flying up in the air took Faithful to Callestal City. Christen had to pass through a lot of temptations like when he went to the Valley of Peace and the Dark Valley.

The Little Pilgrim's Progress is one of the best books I have ever read because it has a lot of lessons for you to learn, a lot of adventure, and it keeps interested!

My Chicks and Me

This is me and one of my chicks. I got them two weeks ago. The second day half of our chicks got clogged vents so my mom and I stayed up until ten O'clock cleaning them up. I felt like a chicken vet. It was pretty grouse at first but then you get used to it. Yesterday we figured out one of the chicks is a rooster! I'm excited because that means next spring we might have baby chicks again.

They are getting better at flying up. They will have to move out to the hen house very soon. My dad said this weekend we can put up the chicken fence to keep Moses, our puppy, out.

"The Beaded Moccasins"

My Gramma Sarah brought me a new book to read last week called "The Beaded Moccasins" by Lynda Durrant. I like it because it is godly and a true story about an eleven year old girl named Mary. On her 12 th Birthday, she gets taken away by Indians to be the new grandaughter to Netawatwees, the chief of the Delaware Indians.

I also like the book because she learns the lesson about not being selfish and to be thankful for what she has. She helps the Indians in saving their corn. She used her bare fingers, working the hardest. Everybody else used shovels.

The beaded moccasins belonged to the real grandaughter of Netawatwees. When she died and they captured Mary Caroline Campbell, the beaded moccasins were given to her by Hepte her new mom.

I think that any kids who like reading the Little House Series Books would like this book. I sure did!
