I have to do a book report type thingie for english, and guess what? I'm doing TGC!!! ^^ Technically we arent' supposed to have read the book already, but shhhh. =)
Well, one of the things we are supposed to have is our favorite part and why it's our favorite. Only, I can't decide. I like all of it. I need help! If you guys tell your favorite parts and why, maybe I can do something with that. My favorite part in the whole trilogy isn't even in the first book. =( So, it's hard. I'm thinking of about the part when he describes Sophonax. Or maybe when Lyra sees the aurora for the first time. Or when she's in Bolvangar, or maybe when Iorek is fighting Iofur. I just can't decide! Maybe I should do about when she's living with Mrs. Coulter. Unh. Help. Please?

JUST TCG or the entire series of HDM? If its just TGC,I'd say either when she sees Iofur and Iorek fighting,or when she's tricking Iofer. That was sly. XD Or when Iorek ripped open Lee and ate him. I think that was TSK,but it still had alot of meaning to me. Anyways,if it's HDM,I'd say when she leaves Pan on the shore. I know it's sad sad sad and makes me cry,but it is just the epitomy of the daemon-human relationship and captures it in a few pages. *tears* I hafta find my copy of TAS now...

Hmm... I wish I could remember the book now. I love when Lyra is at the dinner party and gets to see the varities of daemons, because I just love seeing them. But that's just me.

Sadly, just TGC. I like to see all the daemons too. But I think the part needs to be bigger than that. ^^; She never specified though, but I don't want to fail because she didn't tell me exactly what she wanted me to do.

*nod* Go for something with Iorek or Iofer. Maybe the when she released all the caged daemons from Bolvanger! *shudder*

Me and Zed's favorite was always... well... forgive me if this is odd... meeting Tony. The first time we read it we were sickened and terrified, and to this day we still are. Still, it takes real writing to make anyone feel like that, so we acknoledge it as our 'favorite'.

My favourite part is when Lyra and Pan are almost seperated, it's because it always makes me value Cal so much more. But I guess you couldn't say it's because you love Rho all the more in your report XD So if you can't use that, my fave part is the bear-fight too. Go Iorek!

I like when Mrs. Coulter kidnaps Tony and the other children, near the beginning. It's such a good demonstration of her evilness and pretending-to-be-good-ness. I also like Lyra and Roger's adventures in Jordan. Getting drunk in the cellars, switching the skulls in the crypt, clay-fights... Love it all.

I like the bit from where Lyra is hiding in the wardrobe, to when the sky opens up. *shifty eyes*
Ok, lol, seriously now. I think my favourite part of that book is probably the bit inside where the Gobblers take the kids. (I can't remember the name, damnit). But yeah, all that bit. Cos it's so....vivid...well...to me anyway. With the hiding the Alethiometer, and getting the fur coats, and organising all the children...and yeah...love it.

The description of the Aurora absolutely pwns all. I read it to my English class and their eyes grew to the size of plates. I explained dæmons to them, too, and gave them the websites. (Gack. o.O What if one of them is here? XD) They were like "This rocks. We heart you, Clare."

Yeah, I'm going to tell them that I found places on the internet where people get to know their daemons, but I'm not going to tell them where. And if they come looking, then they deserve to know about it. I mean, unless they happen to be Andrew. Who would look it up just because he wants to know why I know so much. o.o I hope he doesn't. I don't want him to start calling me a satan worshiper. 'Cause he would. Even if he knew what daemons really are. =P *pokes Andrew* o.O Anyway.... But I can't say all that I know because...yeah. We arent' supposed to have read the book.
I really like when Mrs. Coulter dresses Lyra up and stuff because.......I dunno. Anytime it talks about the clothes she wears. Like the furs and stuff. I do not know why. o.O I like the part where Mrs. Lonsdale (right?) scrubs Lyra's knees. Again, I don't know why.

It sickens me aswell ;-; I mean, even though I haven't known Rinto for that long, it terrifies me to think of being without him now. The part when Tony is all, lost and asking about Ratter, it makes me feel really upset. He just seems so vulnerable.

Urgemerfugum. It's due tomorrow and I /still/ don't have a part. Maybe the fight between Ioric and Iofur.
