‘A book should be an ice-axe to break the frozen sea within us’ By: Franz Kafka

I personally think that Kafka’s quote means that a book should open something new

in our life’s e.g. new ideas, feelings, and emotions. The script should open our eyes and heart. So you can have dreams of how life would be and be in your own world.

 You should feel that you are in the book, living with the characters. You should be having fun when you read and want to know what happens next. The quote I think

means, this sentence, A piece of information should be an ice weapon to vanquishing the paralyzed storm thoughts, emotions, soul, and minds. A book is where you get your knowledge, imagination, and creativity. A book also breaks through a thick wall ignorance unknowing. We are lucky to have the object that answers everything. Humans should use this to wake them selves up, and read a book. If you don’t it is a

waist of your education. I was the person who didn’t want to read by her self UNTIL, my friend inspired me to read one of Jacqueline Wilson’s books when I was 10. I read one and thought it was a really good so I started reading some more. After that I now know what kind of books I like. So this is the age where you should defiantly start reading some books and deciding which ones you like because, in some parts of the world the government made books illegal.

I chose this picture because there’s a book and a axe through it which represents breaking your own knowledge and it represents that you have to read before you get to old and you can’t read anymore. Who knows the government here might say that we are not aloud to read. So read, read, read.

Gowing Light (Twilight)

I chose Glowing Light as my blog name because, it means Twilight. Twilight is my favorite book out of the Twilight saga (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn). Also when I looked up what twilight meant in the dictionary I thought the meaning sounded powerful and peaceful.

My Family Tree

Baseball: Ruud Zijlstra hits the ball and runs, runs and runs even faster. The other team takes some time to get the ball and don't realize how much time they have left. 1, 2, 3 HOME RUN! The Dutch baseball team has won the European Baseball Cup and is very happy.

Rugby: From HRC team Paul De Groot just passed the ball to Olaf Bouwens, he runs and, oh no, the other team tackles him. Jan- Willem Davis from the team HRC picks up the ball and runs as fast as the wind. He makes a try! And times up. HRC has won the Dutch championship!

These two shirts represent my family from both sides. The baseball shirt represents my mom’s side and the rugby shirt represents my dad's side. I chose this because my grandpa won the championship in that baseball shirt and now it’s passed down to my brother. Now my brother plays baseball too, and has the same number on his shirt, 30. I, myself don't play baseball, but I always watch my brother and I'm wondering if I should play.

The rugby shirt I chose because, my dad has been playing rugby his whole life, and is still playing today. Now my brother and I play rugby too. (This is my rugby shirt). I started playing rugby at the same club where my dad started playing rugby when he was young. My family practically knows nearly all the people there because my brother and I grew up on that rugby field! My uncle also plays rugby, only he injured his leg about eight years ago and can’t run that fast anymore. It was funny when my grandpa had to pick me up from rugby one day and was talking to all these people. I asked him how he knew them. It was because my grandpa used to bring my dad to rugby so still knew a lot of people there! Haha
