Undomesticated Words

So, 2020, am I right? It's been one he- I mean one rollercoaster of a year. We started with such high hopes, and with less than 50 days till the end of it, those hopes have been proved very wrong. We all thought it would be like the infamous Roaring '20s of the 1900s, but we forgot about the pandemic that swept through around that time. History really does repeat itself, doesn't it? Anyway, I'm going to be analyzing the lyrics of "Roaring 20s", a song with the upbeat instrumentals we wished reflected this insane year. However, you may be thinking "This isn't a book, why are you making a blog post about it?" Well, reader, it's for a very simple reason. I feel like it and have close to no other inspiration. Also because I'm considering this as a poem instead of a song. Will I be overthinking every word in this? Of course.  However, overthinking is a skill I tend to excel at, so get yote. This is all my own opinion, so feel free to combat my

Welcome back to Undomesticated Words for more nostalgic reads! Last time, I listed and briefly described six novels that I found nostalgic, and this time I list seven more with a little section at the end of more throwback books that I didn’t quite have time to include. Enjoy! The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi: This series was recommended to me by a friend, and I instantly fell in love with it. It narrated the adventures of three siblings who could see magical creatures through a special eyepiece that they discovered in the creepy house they just moved into. The kids find that these creatures live in the same world as humans, humans just can’t see them. After this fascinating discovery, they end up going on quite a few adventures and fencing turns out to help them in an unfriendly setting.  The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein: Although very short, I feel that this book can be remembered by many of us. I remember reading it with my family and feeling touched

Introduction:                                                        Hello guys! As promised, I am going to talk about Spy Camp. Spy Camp is the sequel of the first book in the Spy School Series , Spy School.  It was written in 2013, a year after the first book. I believe this book is better than the first. Well, this is because the first book has more information to give an introduction of the setting and gives a familiarity to the protagonist, Ben Ripley. In addition, this book has way more adventure, action, and horror than the last, which makes this book very thrilling (an aspect that the author is very great at exceeding it). Most of the stuff I have to say to you is going to be a little bit repetitive (unless you haven't read my previous posts, which I highly recommend you to read them), so that's why this blog post if going to be a bit shorter than the others.          As I have mentioned before, the first book has astonished me (and Gibbs' writings, in general), so

Hello again students of Third and Fourth Hour English. This blog post is gonna be a bit different than the last two I've done. I'm going to be going over some common oddly specific types of books. From the book where kids replace adults in ridiculous situations, to the famous "Futuristic Science Fiction That Revolves Entirely Around VR", I'm going to go over as many as I can think of in the next 30 minutes so here goes. Please note that while I am trying to make fun of these book stereotypes, there's absolutely no shame in liking or disliking any of these books. I'm just pointing out the oddity in these genres and the hilarity in them. Don't hurt me. The One Where Kids Replace Adults in Ridiculous Situations This one is surprisingly common. Kids (usually teenagers, but sometimes kids as young as 9 or 10) replace adults doing stupidly dangerous activities. Stuart Gibbs, an author that's been written about a lot on this blog, writes quite a few books
