"Sam is dying," Mr. Crepsley said. "A few more minutes and he will be gone.Forever. But you can keep part of him alive within you if you drink from him now and take his life before the wounds of the wolf-man can. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "You want me to kill Sam?" I screamed. "No," he sighed. "Sam has already been killed. But if you finish him off before he dies from the bites of the wolf-man, You will save some of his memories and feelings. In you he can live on.

Cormac looked around at the crowd and said. " Should I give a demonstration?" "Yeah!" they shouted eagerly. Cormac looked at Mr.Tall, standing at the back of the crowd. Mr.Tall sighed and nodded. "You may as well," He said. " They won't leave you alone until you do." "All right then," Cormac said. " Stand back and give me room." The crowd moved back immediately. I started to move with them, but Cormac laid a hand on my shoulder and told me to stay "Now," he said to the crowd, "Ive been traveling for a long time and I'm too tired to go through my entire routine, so we'll keep this short and sweet." He made his right hand into a fist, then stuck out his index finger. "Darren, will you put this finger in your mouth?" he asked. I glanced at Evra, who signaled for me to do what Cormac asked. "Now," Cormac said, "Bite down on it, please." I bit softly . "Harder," Cormac said. I bit slightly harder. " Come on boy," Cormac shouted. "Put some backbone into it. Work those jaws.Are you a shark or a mouse?" Okay. He wanted me to bite hard ? Then I would. I opened my mouth and bit down quickly, meaning to give him a shock. Instead, I was the one who was shocked, because I bit clean through the finger and snapped it right off! I fell back in terror ans spat the dead finger from my mouth. My eyes shot up at Cormac Limbs. I expected him to scream, but he only laughed and help up his hand. There was no blood where I'd bitten the finger off, only a white jagged stump. As I watched, the most amazing thing happened; The finger began to grow back! I though I had to be imagining it, but as the seconds passed it kept growing and growing, and pretty soon it was full-length again. " How do you do it ?" I asked, amazed. "It is an illusion?" "No illusion," He said. "It's why they call me Cormac Limbs. I've been able to grow new limbs- fingers,toes,arms,legs - ever since I was a toddler.

You can't always trust memory.... It can be a deceptive monster . To me this quote means that sometimes your mind can confuse you and it can sometimes be a little monster that lies to you. Your mind plays tricks on you and it makes you go crazy. The mind is a powerful thing and can't always be trusted. One question I have though is how can your mind confuse you? Dont you control it...?

Reading Journal#17: Jan 28th 2009
The Vampires Assistant by Darren Shan. In the book their is a snake boy named Evra Von. He's probably about 16 years old. He is very thin with long yellow-green hair narrow eyes and strangely webbed fingers and toes; his body was covered in green gold yellow and blue scales. He has the longest tongue in the world.
Evra had been born to ordinary parents. They were horrified when he was born. The abandoned him at an orphanage , where he stayed until an evil circus owner bought him at the age of four. "Those were bad days" he said quietly." He used to beat me and treat me like a real snake. He kept me locked up in a glass cage and let people pay to look at me and laugh" He was with the circus for seven long , miserable years , touring small towns , being made to feel ugly and freakish and useless. Finally , Mr.Tall came to the rescue . "He showed up one night" Evra said " He appeared suddenly out of the darkness and stood by my cage for a long time , watching me. He didn't say a word.Neither did I. The circus owner came. He didn't know who Mr.Tall was, but thought he might be a rich man, interested in buying me. He gave him his price and stood back , waiting for an answer. "Mr.Tall didn't say anything for a few mintues. Then his left hand grabbed the circus owner by the neck. He squeezed once and that was the end of him. He fell to the floor dead. Mr.Tall opened the door to my cage and said "Lets go Evra".
I think that it was nice of Mr.Tall to rescue Evra liked that. If I were Evra's parent I would never have gave him away. He had a sad childhood. I feel bad for him. But I guess now hes happy working for Mr.Tall.I think it would have been cool to have been born half snake half human. I have 1 question though.... How come Evra was born like that?

ReadiNg jOuRnAL....Jan 12th 2009
I started reading a book on Friday called..."The Princess Diaries" by Meg Cabot. The books about a girl named Mia Thermopolis who feels like shes and outsider at her school. I can kinda relate to this book because I use to have a friend who felt the same way as her. Sometimes I feel like Mia too. But then I remember that I have alot of friends and great teachers I can talk to when i'm feeling down. Its a pretty interesting book. it talks alot about how to deak with bullies and how to be confident with yourself. I still have a lot to read so I better get goign then....
