Blog Entry #3 Peculiar Wonderings

I’m not going to lie, but I am the type of person to over think things and I have a very creative imagination.  I really enjoyed “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children.” The way the author used pictures to tell a story really opened up my imagination to allow myself to almost create my own little movie in my head. When I first flipped through the pages I thought, oh wow this book is going to be kind of freaky and might even give me nightmares! But then as I read the book I found myself not being afraid of these peculiar things that the children could do but thought it might be rather neat to experience the life of Jacob myself.

This book makes me want to know if anything like this really exist and I feel like it would be pretty cool if it did. I mean, imagine meeting children with such amazing talents. If in fact such a thing were real I would hope that the “monsters” didn’t exist so that they may not live in fear.

I am a total picture person and I think it is so interesting to see the pictures in the book as I read. I feel like I was able to better visualize how these people looked. Part of me wishes that there were more pictures; I was extremely entertained by them. I wish that the author had written a continued book about what happens next when they are looking for the next loop and how it all plays out in the end because the end of the book sort of leaves us wondering, almost like the story wasn’t complete. Even though this makes me imagine in my head what could have happened next I want someone to just tell me!

           This is a picture of my friend and I at a lake two summers ago and it really reminds me of this book with very weird and creepy pictures. We didn’t add any effects to it, it just turned out this way and it honestly freaked us out, her mom took the picture and when she went to look at it, it looked like ghosts hovering above our heads looking the other direction. It’s pretty freaky. You can tell it is us, but its almost like it’s our spirits or something because they are looking to the right of the picture instead of straight forward. So when I saw these pictures in the book it made me think of this and I thought I would share it.
