Well, my fellow bloggers its time for you guys to enjoy one final masterpiece.

I’m writing this blog on a book I read over Christmas Break called Aisle Nine. A dystopian world that involves portals around the globe that randomly open up and produce monsters. Now these monsters were not ordinary. They were products of human nightmares. It was often silly monster-like ones made out of silly string, or a puffy dog. This doesn’t mean they were friendly, though. People died to them about every chapter.

Good example of what a monster might look like.

The plot consisted of a kid who has dementia and he meats this girl named Kyle. Side note, why is the girl named Kyle? They make it difficult for no reason. Anyways the two go around and realize that the government has been keeping secrets. They use people with special abilities to learn that they can close the portals. The government does not want the portals to be closed. Because then they would lose their business of keeping everyone safe from them, and in exchange, they have more power. So the two kids try to close all the portals, but there are evil demons already inside the world, and one of them is inside the main character. But he’s clutch so he fights it off and they save the world.

WOOOOOO HOOOOO! We did it! We saved the world.

Now time to start critiquing the book.

This wasn’t a great book either. I officially give it a 4.115 out of 10. It was basic. It was occasionally funny. It left some great opportunities on the table. It was missing someaction in the middle of the book. Finally, it seems that Ian X. Cho, the author of the book, was being sponsored by a few brands in a way that he inserted them into the story.

Well, I think that’s a wrap. I would like to say thank you to my loyal readers and goodbye forever.

I finished the book. Yes, I know that this is only blog post six. But I’m feeling savage today.

So here’s the plan: give you the ending of “Everything We Never Had” and then for blog post seven, give you a summary on “Aisle Nine,” a book I finished over break. Hopefully, Mrs. Johnson doesn’t get too mad. I mean, even if she does # YOLO #YouOnlyLiveOnce.

So, readers, I will give you the ending to Chris, Enzo, Emil, and Francisco’s story

The three still breathing generations: Chris, Enzo, and Emil. All end up kind of forgiving each other for past mistakes, but at the same time, there is still a bit of resentment. The ending of the story isn’t acting like things are all perfect, yet it leaves room for the characters to grow on each other as time goes on.

As for Francisco, he gets caught up in the Watsonville riots, which were a real occurrence in which the Filipino men were attacked by white men because they were “polluting” their public space. This leads Francisco to get dragged into picketed motivated by the loss of one of his friends in the riots. Also indirectly prompting other unwise decisions.

From Emil’s perspective, we learn why he held a grudge against his father when he is introduced to a half-brother he never knew about, and according to the half-brother, there are a lot more of them out there.

Francisco, you little dog.

In conclusion, it should be blatantly obvious by now that I have a strong dislike for this book. Even if it is rich in life lessons(sarcasm). So my final rating of this book is 2.521 out of 10.

So I’m back with another blog, y’all. Ask me if I have any interesting news to share. “Axel, any new things happening with your book?” My response, “Nothing interesting.”

I genuinely think this is one of my least favourite books I’ve read in a while. Every time I spot the book, I give it one of these looks.

It’s a combination of knowing I have to read it, but at the same time not having a slim bit of interest to do so.

Recent chapters have really explored Chris’s timeline, which is fine with me; he was my favourite character, but Ribay has led me astray. It’s like the author had a beginning and end in mine, and everywhere in between, there is just a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo.

I do sense that things are starting to move faster than before. My predictions from the 2nd blog are about to be tested.

Finally, the character Chris just found out his crush is a lesbian, so he got cooked. Furthermore, his former crush is dating the one girl he is supposed to become friends with because they’re both lesbians, so he got double-cooked. Can’t help myself but feel bad for the guy.

Thanks y’all for reading, and I hope to be back next time unless the FBI gets me or this book bores me to death.

Everybody knows that my book is wicken for real. Definiton of the word wicken is: Wicken, wanting to like a particular book, but it just doesn’t make any sense for these things to be happening.

For example recently in the book Enzo/4th gen decided to go on a walk with gramps/Emil/2nd gen, and Gramps just all of the sudden becomes nice guy. When earlier in the book he called his son a disappointment and his grandson a wimp. Now all the sudden their best friends. Until 3rd gen/Chris/dad of Enzo comes along.

Duh Duh Duh!!

Then they go back to their og ways Chris and Gramps get into big fight ruining all the “chemistry” between Enzo and Gramps on this walk. This repetitive theme of how our characters crack under pressure is not fun. I just can’t wait for them to stand up for themselves, and because I’m writing and you’re missing my expression, I’ll tell you that was sarcastic.

The author Randy Ribay thinks he’s top g, like look at the man.

Bro thinks he’s pulled of a generational run with this book. Ribay continues to try and be sneaky with inspirational quotes. Meanwhile I’m just cringing in my chair, or as he would say, “some wounds are too deep to heal”.

I did notice something cool though. On the front page there’s a zoomed in picture of an apple tree, and all three characters that are alive current day are standing on an apple. I see the relation between family tree and apple tree, but what I don’t understand is why the apple that Enzo/4th gen is being picked of by a hand.

Very Interesting?

So maybe there’s more to this book then I realize, but maybe aliens exist. So right now I’m just going to stay strong with my former hypothesis.

As always thanks for reading. I hope you have a magical day, but not too magical.

Hi guys I’m back with another blog. Because you guys hated on my blog so much, and Edublogs was my only source of income. The apartment complex I live in alone has kicked me out. I’m on the streets, so it would be kind if you guys could donate so I can live in apartment again. Here’s my GoFundMe:https://www.gofundme.com/manage/edublogs-gone-wrong

Anyways in my book nothing interesting, or worth talking about has happened, yet I will still talk about it.

Christopher/3rd gen is becoming acquaintances with the only other Fillippino kid in his school. We learn of her backstory. That she fled the Philippines because of an oppressive leader. Because of Chris’s new found interest in his past he investigates this extreme president, and finds him to be even more sinister than was explained by the new girl. He tries to bring this up to his dad/Emil/2nd gen, but as expected his dad doesn’t care about the Philippines. All of this adds to Chris’s anger with his dad.

Meanwhile Francisco be workin’ in the fields making close to zero. He attends a party where he tries to rizz the ladies, but they’re white ladies, so they’re off limits. According to a friend of his. Tough life.

Finally Enzo/4th gen is complaining about his grandpa/Emil/2nd gen. He complains and complains and complains. It’s annoys me more than it annoys him. Enzo’s anxiety only grows and I’m just waiting for an emotional breakdown.

I do think that I’m nearing the point in the book where something really bad is about to happen. Whether that be with Enzo, Chris, Emil, or Francisco. If I was a betting man I’d say that Francisco is going to do something stupid. Which is probable because he has already been walking a thin line with some other people on the plantation.

As always thanks for reading, and don’t forget to like and subscribe.

Wa wa wassup readers I’m back with another blog! This time diving in to the classic repetitiveness of authors.

The book is called Everything We Never Had and now that the author has established the characters and their main attributes, he has started to give them a plot line.

I’m not stupid I see where it’s going the oldest Maghbol is going to get angry about injustice and start to rally against his unfair wage. Emil is going to learn of his dad’s misdeeds and do everything in spite of him, and reject his Philippines background. Chris is going to start embelish his origins and then get shut down by his father. Finally Enzo will get overwhelmed by Covid-19, and then his grandpa will get the disease, and it will make them all come together.

#boom predicted.

I see it coming from a mile away this book is unoriginal. I might as well not even read the book anymore. Furthermore the relationships don’t feel real. Every time they have father-son dialogue they have an argument. It’s just not genuine. Surely every once and a while it’s normal talk.

The bad books I read all do this same type of writing. The make the “rising action” incredibly boring.

But who knows, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this author does have some creativity in his bones. There’s so much you can do with four different narrators in four different time periods.

Otherwise this book has bore me, if that’s correct lingo. It hasn’t made me laugh or cry, and if no emotions are provoked than I at least have to be learning things. Which I am not.

So, for now I’m going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Signing out for now. Make sure to drop a like for me, and see y’all next time.

That’s how I’d describe the four generations of Maghbols. It hasn’t been to hard separating the four generations of the family so far. It will get confusing eventually because two of the characters have four letter long names that start with the letter E. Like why? It’s hard enough that they named a dog and refer to him like he’s a human, and I’m thinking why is that human rolling on the ground.

What might be even harder than remembering the characters is remembering the time period. Emil gets hardcore bullied, and I’m like someone report this kid. Then I remember it’s the 1960’s

Overall though I still like the book. Even if it confuses me a lot of the time.

This author has an interesting way of teaching lessons. Unlike most books where after the climax the characters learn a life changing moral. In this book, I can already tell it’s going to develop differently. All four characters have a different way of how Filipinos going to America should act.

Francisco thinks they should stand up for themselves and protect their rights

Emil believes they should conform to American ways, keep their head down and work hard. So he can show up the people who are racist to him.

Christopher is naive to how people show prejuduice to him, and insists that he belongs already.

Enzo doesn’t know what to do. He’s back and forth on pride or concealing his background.

That is how I think the author will show his ideas. What Enzo chooses is what the author believes. Which makes me wonder if this is goign to end up being persuasive to the reader. As this is how you should treat us. The author is Fillipino, so he might have first hand experience with the challenges of being mistreated by privelaged Americans.

I’m exited to see what the author is going to do with the four stories. He has many different options. I hope that there is an ending that would connect back to other characters. Like an Alan Gratz book.

I’m reading Everything We Never Had by Randy Ribay. My biggest reason for reading it is that it’s a Battle of the Books book, and also, for that reason, nobody is reading it with me. However, the plot does seem interesting. It’s about four generations of a Philliopeno family. They left their home country in search of wealth in America. The story takes place from the perspectives of four members of the family perspective all around the same age, over 100 years apart. They all deal with poverty, hard work without appreciation, and discrimination. It’s a loop that they’re trying to break. Through this adversity, they try not to give up. This book worries me because it might be too simple to find great metaphors for the real world. Also, the multiple perspectives in different time periods will undoubtedly get confusing. It will be hard for me to install daily reading time. So, I will have to be a weekend reader.

Bartolome de las Casas book Relation fits into the Cultural Encounters and Frontiers. When Columbus and the Europeans interact for the first time with the Native Americans. In the beginning of the text de las Casas writes “The Spaniards did not content themselves with what the Indians gave them of their own free will. . . which was always too little to satisfy enormous appetites”(89). This quote shows how the two cultures clashed, one of them being kind, and giving, “own free will”. While on the contrary, the other one is greedy and used to a surplus of food, “too little to satisfy”. In this way the Europeans impose cultural convergence onto the Natives. Instead of the typical sharing of beliefs and ideas. Not only is there cultural encounters but a new frontier is also a relevant topic. It’s shown to the Europeans and presents unknow, but the Europeans are not scared and approach their new surroundings confidently: “they began their subjuection of the women and children”(89). Almost immediatly after arrival the Europeans already started to take people captive. Showing their boldness in approaching this new settlement.
