Okay for Now

This book is about a boy whose family is kind of a mess. To start off, the oldest brother is currently  fighting on the front line of the Vietnam War. The middle brother just got convicted for a bank robbery, and the dad is a lunatic who just made his family move into a really crummy house in Marysville, New York. His father made them move because of a new job that was supposed to make tons of money "that really does not". Marysville is about the most boring town ever and now Doug has to live in it. The only thing that is nice is a library. Fun fact: Doug has never even been inside of a library. So far I am really enjoying this book.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull 1

by Richard Bach 

         This week I read a pretty bad book. The writing in the book was not so bad. But it was the plot that made it so bad. I also could not relate to the main character, ( the seagull). In the Future I would  recommend this book to anyone. This book was about a seagull whos name is Jonathan. The book is written through his perspective. It talks about some of things going on in Jonathan life. ( Very Boring). Overall I did not like this book.

Boy in the Stripped Pajamas   (2) 
 by John Boyne
       This week I finished a great book. The book is about a young boy who lives in Germany during the Holocaust.  The boy who's name is Bruno meets another young boy who is in a concentration camp. This is the story of their friendship and what it is like to live in Nazi Germany. This book changed completely for me. It was super sad. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good sad story. The plot of the story was great but super sad. I got really connected  to the characters during the whole book so the ending was super sad. It was a intense book. I felt bad for Bruno because he did not know what horrible things his dad did and what a horrible person his dad worked for.

This week I read a book named Locomotion. This book was written in a strange way. This book is written in poems and letters.

This book is written from the charator for a 12 year old boy named Lonnie. During the course of the book he is writing letters to his sister who are both orphans living apart.

Even though he is fat

       I was so hungry I was going to die. Dad Please make the steak because I am supper hungry and I want to light the candles and get the first night of Hanukkah. He said OK. I went to set up the menorah. I got out Six candles. Two for me, Two for my sister, and Two for my dad. ( My mom is not Jewish so she does not have one). I put the candles in. My dad got the prayers out and my mom got the camera out. 

    We light the shamus and started to light the candles.  Then we had to say another prayer one since it was the first night of Hanukkah. When we finished my dad went to get the gifts. This is the best part for me. Then he gave me my present, then helens. We both opened them at the same times. She got a itunes gift card and I got a video game for my xbox one.

The Pact Week Two

This week I  the book named the pact. The pact is about three boys who live in the hood of New Jersey. This is the story of how they survived the streets and became doctors. When Sam, George, and Rameck where in high school, they made a pact to become doctors. This is the story of how they stayed true to the pact that they made and became doctors. I really loved this book. My favorite character was Rameck. I liked that he became friends with George and Sam even though they where already close friends with each other. I thought that it was really cool that for the most part, all of the boys stated out of  trouble unlike the other kids growing up. I really liked it because it was a true story of boys who made the best out of what they had.

The Pact
Week: 1/2

             This week I read/ currently reading a great book. This book is named the pact. The pact is about Three black boys growing up in the "hood". All of the men share one thing in common, They all want to become doctors. This is a book about who the survive the hood and the struggles that happen to become doctors. This is a great book. It so far has been my favorite book that I have read all year. It is sometimes hard to follow because it is written from three different perspectives but not too hard. WARNING!! Their are a ton of bad subjects in this book.

The Connection

As I walk I take in my surroundings,

I am on high alert,

I notice everything,

Everyone,

I notice someone,

This person sticks from the rest,

Why?

Because he was picking up trash,

You might ask why,

Because he too was picking up trash.
