She even tells us why she is reading the book because when we are reading books we don't say the reason for us reading the book we just say what we think of it. I think when we are reading something that people don't expect us to read, we put a reason for why we are reading a book. For some reason people don't think we are advanced enough to be reading that sort of material. I think a lot more African American girls she be reading this kind of material and researching the people she is researching.

Eragon: Beginnings
I just started reading Eragon and I can't say much about it but so far so good. The thing is even though I just started I am already started comparing it to the movie. When my brother was saying that in the movie they got all wrong , he wasn't joking. They totally got it wrong in the movie. Like I said though I haven't gotten that far in the book. I have noticed some things about Eragon's family and life situation too.
Some of the things that the movie messed up was picking the right actors for some of the parts. Sloan who owns the meat shop was described as a short, small man. In the movie the guy was tall and fat. Eragon's family seems to really be poor based on what he ate for dinner and breakfast. He ate bread and cheese for dinner and porridge for dinner. He can't afford his own meat from the meat shop so he has to go hunt for it. He also said that if they didn't get meat for the winter they would starve.
Usually when I hear about getting something before something these days, It usually is you have to get food before a big storm comes. In the book They have to get meat before winter. When I hear that, I usually hear it from farmers so I am guessing that they are farmers. Eragon didn't catch any meat so I think he would do anything so that his family doesn't starve to death. I wonder what he will do?

Superheros and their Relationships:Comparison
I am reading the graphic novel Spider-man Volume Three and what I notice is that Peter Parker being Spider Man and all has a lot of relationship problems with his wife Mary Jane. They never have time for each other. They live in 2 different parts of the Country. What makes matters worse is that one of them is a Superhero. This leads to one of them feeling rejected. Obviously that is not good for the relationship. The only reason Peter has this problem I think is because he has to hide his identity so he has to pretend that he doesn't know Mary Jane personally.
The thing is people like Superman don't face this problem because he lives most of his life as Superman. When he walking around in his house and someone sees him the person would say hey there is Superman not there is Clark Kent. Superman's relationship with Lois Lane seems to be going better than Spider-man's. I actually don't understand why Spider-man is having a harder time than Superman because they both have to deal with secret identity problems.
The only guy I could think of who doesn't have that relationship problem is Iron Man because the people know who he is. People know who he is so he can have a "relationship" with anyone he wants because number one he is rich and number two he doesn't have to deal with identity problems. Unlike Iron Man, Spider Man wants to be serious with his relationships. That is the difference between the 2. That is how I feel about superhero relationships.
