2/15/12 = ** Blog entry #5: Final blog over Independent Reading. Due Friday, February 17 @ midnight. ** = == This blog should have a heading for each bullet listed below. ==  Money, Money, Money This book was very difficult for me to read. Out of a 5 I would give this book a 1 because it wasn't my type of book and it had a weird text style. The book was also very boring, it had 1 setting throughout the whole book which I didn't really enjoy too much. There were a lot of characters in this book so it is hard to decide which ones are more of the main characters. They all are looking for the same thing and that is money. They believe money will help them achieve their dreams and help out their families. There aren't any main characters besides himself but there are many characters he meets on his travel. Some Characters are: Herman Melville- Main character

 * List a summary of the plot, but do not give away the ending. Heading will be __summary__.
 * Give the book a rating (1 is poor; 5 is amazingly awesome) and explain your rating. Heading will be __rating__..

I am currently on page 172 which is chapter 23. Following this book has been hard because it jumps around a lot and tells a lot of the past. Plus it has an old style of writing so not all of the writing is gramatically correct. So far this book is alright. It has moments that i enjoy and moments I barely make it through. Another reason this book is hard to read is because there are a lot of quotes and people talking.

They call me "The Confidence Man" January 27

"You two greenhorns! Money, you think, is the sole motive to pains and hazard, deception and deviltry, in this world. How much money did the devil make by gulling Eve?" This is my favorite quote because he is telling his shipmates that money isn't everything. Thats all they have been worried about on their trip, is how much money they will make.
