BLOG POST 1

The book im reading is called The Godfather by Mario Puzo, the book is crime fiction this week i have read 20/443.
        The book starts off with two boys beeing put on trial for asulting Amerigo Bonasera's who is now in hospital with a  broken jaw. The judge is expresses a big disgust and calls them animals, but only gives them 3 years in prison as they did not sexualy molest her and because they have fine families and a clean record. The father promises him self to seek vengance. Then we have a change of setting to a hotel room in Los Angeles where Johny Fontane is drinking scotch from a bottle waiting for his wife to come back who we understand is really atractive and amodel/actress. When she comes back he stands up angrily and attacks hurt but when he gets close up to her he knows he can't hurt her as he is in love with her even though she says she was "out fucking" and as he raises his hand to hit her she just laughs and tells him not to hit it as she is gonna have to take pictures, so instead he starts to punch her in the stomach and tighs, but not hard as he knew he couldn't. She laughs in return and taunts him "Come on, stick it in. Stick it in, Johnny, that' what you really want." He stands up. Even though he hates her her beauty is like a magic shield. The woman walks off and lcoks the bedroom door leaving Johnny Fontane out.Then again we have a change in setting and now a baker called Nazorine is wanting to send Enzo one of the boys working for him off as he thinks and has seen some clues that Enzo and his daughter are having sexual relations, and he figures he needs help from The Godfather to make Enzo a american citizen to keep Enzo in America (most of the charecters are italian). Then we have another change of setting where we move to the wedding off The Godfather's(Don Corleon) daughter's wedding. We get a discription of each one of his three sons, one of them sticks out the most his name is Michael Corleon. Except of having visual phsical differences from his father and his brothers he also had a much different charecter and is not as easy going and close with his father as his brothers are and he also sits in one of the mroe distant corners of the garden with his american girlfriend wich his father does not approve of. Most of the crew for the wedding were friends of the Don Corleon and where doing this a favour as a way of repaying him of what he had done for them at some point of time. Later on FBI agents show up and start to write down licence plates of the cars that are parked outside where the wedding is, however Don Corleon is not worried as he had warned his friends to come with cars that are not their own as he had predicted this, but does not stop his son from going and arguing with the FBI agents and showing enragment because he belives that that will make them think that he did not predict this happening.
           I think so far that Don Corleon or as he is also known as The Godfather is going to play a big role in this book and is probably some type of rich buisnes man who also is part of the italian mafia so we will have a view of the dark side of his buisnes and how he deals with these problems. Also as seeing how people are discribed we will probably witness alot of betrayal and back stabing, maybe some one trying to over throw Don Corleon wich will probably be a challange as he has conections, or it could turn out that he dies early and then it is a fight between the three sons who to take his legacy.
        "She was to him so very beautiful the angelic face, soulful violate eye, the delicately fragile but perfectly formed body." This is the description of Johnny Fontane's wife. This caught my eye as this is a really vivid and well described the author makes it so you can imagine this lady but still leaves parts undecribed so he leaves the reader to finish off the looks of this woman.
