I'm going to tell you about the book Witch of Blackbird Pond.The romance in this book makes me gag but I'm going to tell you about it anyway. Kit wich is the main character of the book.
Kit flirts with Nat
Kit tries to flirt with John
Judith likes William
Kit likes John's voice
Judith likes John.
Now I'm going to talk to you about The History of Weathersfeild CT where Kit goes after living in Barbados when her grandpa died so she had to live in Weathersfeild CT. Aniways everybody is very religious if your not they kick you out of town. Everybody there uses wooden plates and they also use candles to see at night. The next catigorie is politics.
The patriets are against the loyalists the patriets are the ones that fight for freedom and trying to stop slavery. The loyalists are way different from the patriets because the loyalists are loyal to the king and obey his every order. That was a review of the Witch of Blackbird pond.
From, Frodo

Our whole class has just started a new book called the Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. It just like book group. Professor McGonagall has us put into 3 different groups. When your group is called, you talk about a chapter you read recently. Sometimes Pro. McG would read to us from the book. The book is really good. Here is the summery of the book from the back of the book.
Orphaned Kit Tyler knows, as she gazes for the first time at the cold, bleak shores of Connecticut Colony, that her new home will never be like the shimmering Caribbean islands she left behind. In her relative's stern Puritan community, she feels like a tropical bird that is now caged and lonely. The only place where Kit feels completely free is in the meadows, where she enjoys the company fo the old Quaker woman known as the Witch of Balckbird Pond, and on occasion, her young sailor friend Nat. But when Kit's friendship with the "witch" is discoverd, Kit is faced with suspicion, fear, and anger. She herslef is accused of withcraft!
It has lots of romance. ( So boys, be prepared if you are interested in reading this book.) Politics in the middle, and some history twisted in it. You would love this book!

Hey World,
My class as just started reading a new book its Witch of Black bird pond. There is politics, history and of course romance. It takes place in 1687 in barbados and wethers field. The characters are kit,prudence,judith,mercy,uncle matthew and rachel. There is lots more but i cant think of them. Some of the politics are the fighting between loyalist and patriots. Also the history is they have slaves, sanding floors and brick ovens. There is lots of romance like kit liking people and stuff.

A couple weeks ago we started a book called The Witch Of Blackbird pond. This book Takes place in 1687. In this book A girl rom Barbados comes to Wethersfield, Connecticut to live with her Aunt Rachel.Then around the 6th chapter when Kit the main carecter goes to metting or church she meets William Ashby. Then The next day he asks permission to call on or date kit. Her cousin Judith used to like William Ashby. But when Judith meets Jhon Holbroke she doesn't want William anymore. Then When Willaim comes to Aunt Rachel's house he brang up that he was building a house on land that he got 5 years ago. The reason I think that he brang that up because he was going to court Kit and later perpose.
Now Kit and Mercy have a job to teach kids how to read. One day when their theaching the kids when Kit thought it would be a good idea to act out a story from the BIBLE, (Now that was a bad Idea) ThenMr. kiberly and Reverand Woodbridge came and saw what was happening so he dissmissed the kids and dissmissed Kit but he's thinking about dissmissing Mercy too. Once Kit saw Mercy crying she bolted out of the house to the medow. There she met Hannah Tupper. Everone in Wethersfield thinks Hannah Tupper is a witch.
And thats really all that I have read so far!

Hi. I am in a book club(BOO) and we are reading a book Called The Which of BlackBird Pond. (Double BOO) Well I guess it is ok but it gets really boring at some points. Like now.) : It is also abit disgusting because there is ROMANCE in it. Also there is enoying politics, too. But the cool thing is(not really cool) that it is in history. In the 1687's. Well lets get to whats happend so far.
The main charcters are:
Kit Tyler (Katherine)
Judith
Mercy
Aunt Rachel Wood
Uncle Matthew Wood
John Holbrook
Nat
William Ashby
Here is a quick summary of what I have read!
There is a girl that has moved from Barbados to the cold, bleak of the Conneticut Colony. She feels that she doesn't fit in because whatever she does or says is wrong. She is trying to fit in. Later in the book kit meets face to face a witch. Or someone accused of witch craft. Her name is Hannah Tupper. They say that Kit shouldn't got here but she will not listen because she thinks that she is really nice.

There is a book that we have to read. It is called Witch Of Blackbird Pond. It is about a girl named Kit Tyler who had to move from her house in Barbados to Wethersfield, Connecticut. She was used to being treated like royalty. But When she gets there she has to do chores. There is also a boy named William Ashbey that falls in love with Kit. But Kit's cousin, Judith first liked him but then william Liked Kit. So Judith Started Liking Someone else Kit Liked. That persons name is Jhon Holbrook. Also, Kit is a Loyalist but her aunt & uncle and there family are all patriots. Jhon is also a patriot. But the former preacher, Reverend Bulkey, at the church is a Loyalist. William is a Loyalist as well. Things were very different back then. Their meals will be only one single thing. As of now, our meals are usually, a main dish, side dish, and/or vegetable. Also, they have to grow their food or raise their food(raising as in raising cows). It takes most likely a WHOLE DAY to prepare the food. That is all I have to share right now! Come back for more!

When Kit meets Hannah Tupper she thinks that she has a friend. Then one day while in the meadow, she finds young Prudence. Kit finally gets Prudence to comes to Hannah's house.
Meanwhile, Kkit is a romantic love story. Kit kinda likes John Holbrook, the preacher. She kinda likes Nat the sailor and kinka likes William the rich boy. William likes Kit and wants to marry her. Kit doesnt know if she wants to marry William or not.
Judith likes William and John, and Mercy likes John and John likes Mercy. That's most of the romance in the part of the book.

Hi Everyone!
Here is part two of 4 From the Witch of Blackbird. Things have been been going better for Kit, William has benn calling on her every Saturday night. Calling is like going on a date but like it is at your house in front of everybody. The only wierd thing is that he does'nt really know her he and he is going to ask her to MARRY HER! Judith wants to marry John(The Minister Apprentice) But Then John likes Mercy and Mercy likes him but John as no nerve to ask Mercy. The Patriot-Loyalsit thing is going crazy, Half the town is loyalist and the other Half Patriot. Oh and by the way if you do not go to church you get fined!
Kit met Hannah Tupper(A.K.A The Witch Of Blackpird Pond)
So they are now friends but now in a few chapters bad things Happen!
Sincerely,
Eragon
