Music for Hold Me Closer, Necromancer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufVx80xkim8

This is a link to the song Thriller by Michael Jackson. I figured this song would be very good to relate to my book because of the whole raising-the-dead thing. In this song Michael Jackson is of course talking about zombies and all of that good stuff. In the book there is constant times where the man character raises the dead. By now you might be thinking that the song "thriller" has nothing to do with the book. But it completely describes the book in its entirity. I mean, whenever someone thinks of raising the dead Thriller has to pop up in your mind. You already know how good of a song it is and the book was also super good so might as well put two really good things together. But overall both things are talking about the dead rising. And the book has alot of diffferent mythodical ccreatures in it.

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer

This quarter for read for a lifetime I chose to read, "Hold me Closer, Necromancer" by Lish McBride. This book has been a very enjoyable read to me. Normally I hate reading books but this book I can honestly say I enjoyed reading it. The books pretty much about your normal college dropout kid who works at fastfood then he finds out hes a Necromancer. Here let me have the author describe the book to you. Sam leads a pretty normal life. He may not have the most exciting job in the world, but he’s doing all right—until a fast food prank brings him to the attention of Douglas, a creepy guy with an intense violent streak.Turns out Douglas is a necromancer who raises the dead for cash and sees potential in Sam. Then Sam discovers he’s a necromancer too, but with strangely latent powers. And his worst nightmare wants to join forces . . . or else. With only a week to figure things out, Sam needs all the help he can get. Luckily he lives in Seattle, which has nearly as many paranormal types as it does coffee places. But even with newfound friends, will Sam be able to save his skin? This book is continually bringing thrill and enjoyment to the reader with every sentence. Whenever you put the book down it leaves your mind craving more. I think that anyone who reads this book will enjoy it and I think everyone whould check this book out.

truth vs treason

Helmuth Hubener in the book "The Boy Who Dared" spoke out against the Nazis that invaded Germany. Helmuth had two specific choices, go along with the Nazis and Hitler and follow what they say or do the right thing and speak out against everything wrong they did. He decided to speak out against Hitler and take all the consequences that would come with that. Even with a penalty of death hanging over his head he still had the guts to say what was right. In the book Helmuth begins to distribute pamphlets that he wrote himself around the public libraries and parks and even telephone booths. He even starts to put pamphlets into peoples coat pockets when there not looking. I can't even imagine all the struggles he had to go through. He was truly a brave and courageous person for doing all of this. There was no freedom of speech for Germany at this time. If anyone disagreed with what someone said then it would be considered treason and they would either go to jail for along time or get put with a death penalty. The truth definitely outweighed treason in Helmuth's opinion.

I have chosen these links to help you better understand the whole entire book. Some links were about Jews and what they believe in and others were about the Nazis and why they blamed the Jews. I also decided to give a link to a Helmuth Hubener and an Adolf Hitler page so you can understand who they both where. I showed a link to a couple World War II sites so you can also understand some of the other events that were happening during World War II. Each one of this links gives the reader a way better understanding of each of the topics that are brought up in this book.
