Character profile
The character I want to choose is Arthur. He is a very worried man. He has a confused look on his face, and is very unsure of what to do with himself. He is unlike Ford who is always in control. Arthur becomes more confident in himself throughout the story. He meets new friends, becomes brave, and actually socializes. As the main character you would think he is adventurous, but he is not. But Arthur is a kind person and gains a very strong leadership with close friends.

Week #3
The ending of the book was quite strange like the rest of the book. I didnt get most of it because it involved very weird speicies such as Vogons and etc. It was confusing to tell what is going on because Arthur thinks too hard. But I think the author is trying to tell a message about expanding your ideas. The last 30 pages or so was a movie of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I did expect a better ending but it was okay. Arthur started out as a very narrow minded and paranoid man, but in the end, he made friends and became a greater thinker.
Week #2
The book is very exciting. Arthur is traveling with his companion Ford, across the galaxy! He finds our the galaxy is bigger than earth itself. One thing I found very interesting is that the aliens made earth. They designed its blueprints, and created earth and are thinking of creating a new one! Just when Arthur couldn't believe this idea, aliens also commented that mice ruled the world, and that they were hyperintelligent beings! The plot is very weird, but it is very exciting to keep reading on.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
So far in the story, the plot is very interesting. Artur is the only human to escape the destruction of earth. By some ruling of the galactic federation, earth is sentenced to be destroyed at a certain time. Ford, being an alien, finds out and escapes with Artur. They land in a strange alien ship, and was sentenced to death. But being as lucky as they are, they miraculously escape. The plot gets more interesting as i read on.

Week #2
I finished the book~ It was only a 192 pages, so i was abled to finish it very quickly.Evenn though I said it was boring in the beginning. I thought it was sad in the end. I was deeply moved by how the professor, although dying, remained happy. It was a very good book, because it taught us valuable lessons. The ending was very sad when the professor died. I learned a lot from this book about how to live life. Many important topics were covered such as family and friends. It was very sad for me to read this because it was about death mostly. But in the end, I enjoyed this book very much. I would recommend it to all my friends because it was very educational, and heart warming. I hope I can use what I learned through out my life.

Week #1
The book is very boring I have to admit. It just talks about life lessons from a dying man to a gifted student. Most of these lessons he teach can be quite useful though. Hopefully as the book goes on, there will be more interesting topics that he talks about specifically. In the table of contents, there is a chapter about 'The Most Perfect Day'. That should be somewhat fun.

Tuesdays With Morrie
When I searched this book in amazon.com, i was very suprised to find 2000 something views. Other books have very little views such as a 100 or so. I clicked the readers review about this book, and most of them were positive. I thought, "why not read it?" Reading the first few pages, I found that this book is about life lessons of a dying man. I cant wait to read about a connection between the teacher and the student in this book. Although its not very long, I know this book is gonna have a lot of meaning to me.
