ERAGON

Book synopsis #2

My next book selection was Eragon by Christopher Paolini



      Eragon lives with his uncle and cousin in a town called Carvahall the town is right next a ravine called the spine. One day Eragon is hunting in the Spine and he find a big beautiful blue stone.
      He takes the stone so as to sell it but no one will by it. after a while he finds out that it is a dragon egg! (only as it is hatching) Some creatures called Ra'zc discover him and kill his uncle, Eragon is than forced to flee which he does with the town storyteller Brom.

Last weekend I had a cross country race AND a soccer tournament!
I got 11th out of about 45 runners in my race with a time of 9:30 (it was a longer race than the last one)
My soccer team won the first game 8-0, lost the second 2-0, won the third 6-0 and won the last 6-2.
We got second. The team that won was the team that we lost to. However they only beat the team we beat 6-2, 2-1 so we should have beaten them and won the tournament.
oh well

Last weekend I played 3 soccer games the first two I guest played with platteville we won the first game 6-2 and lost the second game 2-1. (all this was on saturday)
On sunday I played a game with my Dubuque team and we won that 4-1.

I finished the Hobbit on Monday, so here is my synopsis of the book.

        Hobbits are a very respectable kind of people that hardly EVER go on adventures, so at first Bilbo Baggins wants nothing to do with the thought of going on an adventure with Dwarves and a Wizard. But at last they convince him to come. 

         This adventure has many dangers that Bilbo does not expect, not the least of which is a giant dragon named Smaug, also a creature named Gollum, in Gollum's cave Bilbo finds a ring that will turn him invisible, with this power he convinces the Dwarves that he is a master burglar. And uses this new found skill to complete many tasks

In my soccer tournament over the weekend we lost the first game 2-0, and won the second and third games 3-1 and 3-0. That was enough to put us into the finals. We lost the final by a score of  2-0 so we got second place.
