My review on Sabriel
Okay this is it. Its kind of lacking in quotes because i dont have the book with me right now but i still think its good =)

What a Bunch of Characters Project A
Periods 4-5
Sabriel. Both a title and a name. As a title, it is a fantastic book by Garth Nix. As a name, it is a mature young girl that has her story spun by the book emblazoned with her name. A girl of 18, Sabriel led a fairly closed life, growing up outside of her birthplace in the Old Kingdom. Or at least, that is what it seemed. She attended Waverley College, a school for fine young ladies in Alcestierre, yet she was much different than the other students. Her hair is a shadowy, raven black, not unlike her father’s, and her skin is pale and bleached from her constant voyages into the realm of the dead. She is thin and usually cold from the icy river in Death. On a personal level, Sabriel is smart and sophisticated. She is insanely courageous, proven by her constant battle with the dead who won’t stay dead. She doesn’t complain or whine about a task, and realizes that it must be done, no matter how dark or perilous. Sabriel is rather selfless, always attempting to help people, even if she has clue of what kind of person they may be. An example is when she rescued a young man named Touchstone from his imprisonment as a wooden figurehead. She had no idea who he was or if he could be of the evil persuasion. In conclusion, Sabriel is a strong character with a strong mind and personality.
Sabriel is a major character in the twisted plot of this novel by Garth Nix. Her father is the Abhorsen, a person who constantly battles the never ending supply of the Dead. Unlike a necromancer, who raises the dead, he puts the dead to rest, past the Seventh Gate of Death. When he randomly disappears, the Dead in the kingdom run wild and it is Sabriel’s job to take the role of Abhorsen and protect the kingdom. Simultaneously, she has to embark on an epic quest to find her father. Basically, the whole plot revolves around Sabriel, and although she is accompanied by two companions, Touchstone and Mogget, she leads the group on their wild goose chase. She is a vital character and without her, the plot would fall apart.
In this book, Sabriel goes through many changes. In the beginning, she is just a teen schoolgirl with an infinitely small amount of experience in her father’s trade, being the Abhorsen. By the conclusion of the book, she has taken on the job herself, and is a hardy and determined adult. What force could cause these changes? One might ask. Well, after the disappearance and death of her father, a great weight is dropped on her shoulders. Before, she was just filling in for her father, but now she has to take on his title, name, and responsibilities. Even from the perspective of another character, a solider at the crossing point between the Old Kingdom and Alcestierre, she changes dramatically. In the beginning of the book he had a few stray thoughts about how she resembled his sweet daughter with her youth and innocence. But when she crosses the wall again during the climax of the story, he gapes at how she mentally aged a couple years and is now a salute-deserving hero of great proportions. Sabriel goes through many transformations, many not of her own accord. After all, "Does the walker choose the path or the path the walker?" (Garth Nix, Sabriel).

The first page of my storyy bet you wanna read more!

Lili looked in the ornate white mirror hanging on her bedroom wall. She looked amazing. She looked from her rough gold leather sandaled feet to her billowy white toga, smiling as she thought of the expression that would appear on her best friends face when he saw her final touches on her costume. The muffled giggles of the younger children that were trick-or-treating already interrupted her thoughts as they snaked through her window. She was late! She grabbed the intricate hat she had made the evening before off of her nightstand and rushed downstairs. As she stomped down the landing she looked around, trying to locate her mother. Tara Golde was arranging stacks of candy and neatly placing them into the candy bowl when her daughter hit her like a freight train.
“Whoa! Slow down there Lili!” She laughed.
“No time for slowing mom! C’mon you have to get this on quick!” Lili shoved the hat into her mother’s hands, suddenly slow and steady, making sure to avoid crushing the delicate adornments glued to the top. On the hat were twenty-five carefully crafted papier-mâché snakes, writhing silently. Lili’s mother guided her easily excitable daughter into a kitchen chair and picked up her bag of hairpins.
“Might as well calm down,” she said wearily, “this will take a little bit of time.” One by one she inserted the black bobby pins into her daughters flaming hair, creating a stable bun at the base of her neck. She then carefully fitted the fragile hat onto Lili’s now flat skull. When the job was done, Lili rushed to the mirror and beamed at her reflection. “I look fabulous!”
The sweet chiming of their doorbell interrupted her from admiring her costume. “Oh, that must be Tommy! Right on time.” Sure enough, it was her best friend, Tomothy, who was dressed rather peculiarly. He was almost totally gray, with tiny flecks of color running over his barely-noticeable clothes looking like the fragments inside of stone. He would have been easily confused for a statue had his pearly white teeth not been exposed in a cheery grin. Lili frowned, “Well that’s not very believable.” She joked.
“Fine, fine, I’ll do the whole bit.” Tommy repositioned himself into a terrified pose, face looking petrified and his arms spread ahead of him blocking some invisible evil. He stood extremely still and held the pose until Lili started to laugh. “Perfect! You remind me of that song that we listened to the other day… are you petrified, of being petrified!”She sang jokingly. “Looks like you are!”
“Well I am a poor innocent that you mercilessly turned to stone; I have every right to be terrified!”
This was when Lili’s mom interceded. “Enough talking, get walking! You have houses to hit!” She put one capable hand on each child’s back and almost pushed them out the door. Maybe she would have given them a warmer goodbye if she knew that was the last time she would see the children for a long time.

So here's an interesting thing that I picked up in "Great Theoretical Ideas" today.
I'm going to boil this down a lot, but essentially, simply because the probability of something happening is 0, does not make that event impossible. When you have an infinite number of outcomes, the odds that you choose any single one of them is 0, since 1 over infinity is so insignificantly small. However, that doesn't stop you from being able to choose it, or deny the existence of that event.
Thus improbability does not imply impossibility.
I like it.
