OK, say what you want about me but I loved what went on in Ch 13. I could just picture it, a classroom filled with little boys and girls sitting drawing colorful pictures and off to the side
is little Chad only using the black crayola crayon! All ask to draw a picture of home, Chad is draws a square, with no windows or doors!
This is what I love about this book, its Dark its goes outside the box and scares people! I know I'm not much of a writer but by next week i will have full reviews on this book as I go along.

To be honest!
I am really trying to read this book, but to be honest I've been cutting coroners. Now, I know this sounds bad, but I've been reading the summaries online to get a better understanding of what is going on! But, from reading the summaries this book is amazing. Suspense, drug use, death, man, this is my nightmare in book form! If we easier to understand I wouldn't be able to put it down! Maybe one should try to read this book intoxicated!
Moving forward. . .
Reading Terrence' Blog I got a better understanding of Johnny Truant. He is a helpless individual trying to better himself. Not many people can stop or give up something he or she has become dependant on just to see life for what is worth, and to remember and notice the small things as to what makes something beautiful. As hard as it is to read this book if we almost get ourselves in the mind of a person "high" it could help us better understand the individuals and as to where the story is going!

VIDEO
My Video of Choice
Yeah. . . so did anyone see that Giants game on Sunday?! I'm sorry but if I don't laugh I will cry! i am confused as all hell right now this video is the best representation for the book, pure and otter madness! The book tosses us in all different directions as does the video, it keeps views going back looking for a difference or a change in what they have just seen! Is that really Jesus under water, or was it a statue of another man!? Weird, sure but interesting as hell!

HOUSE

Why does this remind me of the house?! Come on! This is a house that expands and contracts what better than a house that come to life! To whom is reading this blog, close your eyes, and picture a house, yeah that's right think about a house on your block, that you grew up in, or one on t.v. Seems normal right?! Danielewski did not want the house to be seen as that house on the hill, straight out of Casper, thunder and night fall surrounded on a sunny day house. He wanted his reader to see the house as a home that goes wrong. At the beginning of the book the house was seen as plesant, "His five year old daughter Daisy approves of their new house. "It's nicw here," she giggles shyly. . ." There is it! It was nice!
