Jaws

Im reading the book "Jaws The Revenge"and its about how jaws comes back to destroy Amity harbor. Jaws is the Megalodon's ancestor which means he survived threw the dinosaur era. The Brody family is devastated on there losses, but that doesn't stop Ellen. She's trying to kill this beast once and for all. After reading Jaws and Jaws 2 this book is a really good sequel to it. Its just really strange how Jaws always comes back.

I chose to read this book because I wanted to finish the series. Some parts of this book don't make sense like when they said "Jaws is back hes back, But he died" this part confuses me because it talks about how he died but comes to life. Everything in this book is crazy but you must read all the books to understand.

Cujo

So i have finished my book, finally and it turns out that Donna ends up killing Cujo. After being trapped in her car with her son in the heat waves of a summer day she managed to survive. Everything escalated when Treed was in a comma because of dehydration. Donna struggled to save him with CPR and shockingly she did. In the text it said she was crying "Treed! , Treed!. Don't leave me ! Treed! please.." She was crying her eyes out trying her hardest to bring him back. She did and then managed to get al her anger and shoot Cujo multiple times.

In conclusion I really like this book, more than other ones. But now I have to do my project which makes me learn more about the book like understand parts I didn't, thats what I mean Like if I didn't understand one part of it , but thats the whole point of projects to show what you read.  I cant wait to read The authors others book.

Cujo 2

So recently Donna and Treed go to the near by mechanic were Cujo live but they didn't know there was a beast waiting to kill them. So as they arrived and it was real quiet, until Donna gets out and thats when everything broke lose. Cujo came out of the garage angered, Donna ran into the car as fast as she could but realized she dropped the keys outside.  Moments later Cujo slammed his head into the side of the car messing up the engine but they didn't know that. In the text it said "The hit was so hard it was a 3 inch dent" This told me the dog was so strong and powerful he dented the car. It would have taken lots of force to dent a car especially from a domestic dog. As the too wait in horror for the dog to leave to get the keys they suffer in the heat trapped like if they were being microwaved.

This part of my book was really intense, Treed's visions are coming true from the monster in his closet. "Cujo is a demon trapped in a dog" said Donna. If I was in Treed's shoes right now I would be terrified to death not just scared but slowly dying of the heat. Then the two only have a little bit of water but they don't know how much to drink or if they should save it. Donna is in a really hard situation because She's not just saving her sons live but her own.

Cujo

My new book is Cujo by Stephen King. So far I have read to page 142, this book has actually given me nightmares compared to the movie. The book is mainly about a friendly dog that ends u sticking his nose into a cave and turns into a man eater. He is on a killing rage, killing anything that gets in his way or that just plainly annoys him. His name is Cujo, he live on a farm in Maine. Then theres a little boy who keeps seeing this object in his closet at night. Something thats unexplainable to him, his closet door always slams open and he sees these big red eyes. He tells his parents but they don't believe him, this could be a second danger for the little city of Maine. Cujo has killed his owners friend already and his owner. His killing rage has just started. 

My new book is really really good, I have seen the movie but the book gives allot of details that weren't explained in the movie. This books details are so thorough that I can picture my self in the characters shoes perfectly. sometimes the book gives me goose bumps on how gruesome it is. The author gives the reader little details that are very important. This book is part of the Stephen King series and I feel like this is my new favorite author, I hope to read all his book and Finnish this one.

"Would We Be Killed"

In the Article the Native Americans were marginalized by getting pulled from there homes without permission from there parents. The text said "Soon parents weren't asked to enroll there kid they were forced." This sentence told me that the whites were pushing indians away and doing things the way they wanted. They were taken away by force from there family's and tribes. They felt they didn't exist anymore after the white people erased there roots. "kill the Indian" explained how the whites tried to change the Indian into a sophisticated person. Shorter hair, Better clothes and they were taught how to live a life of a white person, cleaning, making things etc. 

The purpose of Shanice Britton's essay was to show the reader that just because she's Native American doesn't make her any different from any other person. She tells the reader about how she doesn't know allot from her ancestors but that she's learning as much as she can. She fells that since she's native american other people are going to think of her different, for example what she does at home or with her friends. Shanice does everything a normal teenage girl does. She wants the reader that she still does things her native americans do but she also does the normal. In the text it said "she participates in tribe ceremonies" This tells me that she still likes doing what her parents taught her but then the ext said "She's following her dream of becoming a vet" This told me that she also wants to follow her carer dream which is normal and wasn't expected by native americans back then.

Backlash. 3

In conclusion to my book everything has gone back to normal but not completely.  Bree is now the highlight in school. "The one that couldn't keep her mouth shut and stayed in her own business." said Sydney. Lara's doing good now, she's just a normal girl that keeps her problems to her self because of what happened. She now is living the happy life like a normal girl in high school. Her sister Sydney is is now in shock because of her sister, "She actually apologized to me..." she said. Remember how in the beginning of the book when Laura was in the hospital and Sydney had to talk to the officer. Well Sydney argued about how she was always put aside when it came to Laura. Bree is now the gossip of school, she is what is talked about "omg did you see what she started" "wow how lower can you go"

Now that I finished this book I recommend it to my peers, and teachers for there students because its a book that explains about bullying. It can help many students prevent bullying and not follow along when someone else does. This book was a piece of "anti bullying" Now that I finished the book I have to do a project, and I am really going to enjoy showing my project to my peers because it would give them a second thought on bullying. "think before you speak" Said Laura.

Tolerance

Tolerance: | 'täl(e)rens | 
The ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrences, or practice of something in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. 

Tolerance is not the same for everyone, but for me it means the amount you can handle something. To tolerate someone is to understand and handle them, many people can control there tolerance others can. I have very little tolerance for incompletion, others for annoyance ext. everyone has different perspectives of the word.

Backlash - 2

Laura survived the overdoes at the hospital. The police officer wanted to check and get some back history on Laura so she asked her sister. Sydney agreed and told the officer everything from when she was 8 to today. She asked about her friends, thats when Sydney chuckled. In the text it said "Laura does not have many friends because of her "depression" Sydney Said" This caught my eye because of how the author put depression in parenthesis. I kept reading and the officer asked Sydney "why did you say depression with a smirk?" Sydney said, "Because its obvious Laura's life is perfect she just wants attention, she thinks having depression makes you popular. Mean wile online, Bree picture got more than 50 likes on face book. Lots of people were sharing it on there timelines, even Criss. The comments were really bogus in my perspective. For example in the text it said "The comments were kin dove harsh Bree Said..  "RIP Lardo" "Corpse Girl""She Looks Dead""Is Lardasouraus Dead?" This part of the chapter told me that Bree was starting to feel bad for posting the picture. But she was not able to delete it, what ever goes on the internet stays on the internet.

This chapter really gave me that big message, "what ever goes on the internet stays on the internet" This situation gave me second thoughts about saying things about people, honestly I think theres no point in bulling it just causes problems. This chapter was allot about bulling, and I think in this situation its cyber bullying. I would hate to be in Lara's shoes right now because she just calmed down from her problem with Criss and when she goes on Facebook..  Bree is going to come up more in the book I think because of the picture that started everything.

Backlash

My new book that I started for this quarter is called "Backlash". I started reading last week and i'm so into the book. It relates a lot to me because of they text it uses, and the authors 1st person perspective pieces. So a girl named Lara who is the main character so far has a relationship with this guy named Criss. One day Criss post status on Facebook about Lara and how he hated her and other mean things. For example "your fat no one wants you here, your the meanest person i've ever meet, your ugly" Simple things like that but they hurt Lara because they came from him. People saw the statuses and started blackmailing and hating Lara. Lara was having suicidal decisions, but her family didn't know until one day. Her sister Sydney wanted to go to the bathroom but Lara was in there for a long time already. Sydney was frustrated until she realized no one was moving in the bathroom. She called her mom, they called the police and her dad. Lara had overdosed on medicine. They took her to the hospital but when she was in the bed for the ambulance a girl named Bree took a picture of Lara and posted it on Facebook. Everyone was commenting and liking ext. Thats when all the rumors started.

So far this book has been very good, I have not wanted to let it down and stop reading it of how good. The book really relates to many situations that are occurring right no in our era of time. This story has a really good message and thats to not spread rumors if they don't involve you. The book so far has already told me a lot and i'm barley at the 5 chapter. Everything escalated very quick from the drama to the rumors. That sounds a lot like middle school to me. I really feel bad for Lara because this is not the first time she's been bullied its happened too times. I just want to find out what happens this time.

Call Of The Wild. End

In the end after everything buck and John Thornton become part of a indian pride. Not as much as part, they were kidnapped but Buck escaped. Buck needed to the about how he was going to save his friend if he was trapped by so many. Buck was walking threw the dark woods thinking of ideas. Day after day Buck was changing due to him living in the woods. His coat color turned black, he had the taste for meat. He was stronger, all good changes for Buck. Buck hears a howl, from far away deep in the woods. It was the call of the wild, this call made him feel superior inside. He replied to the call, then he went to the tribes living area were he let the demons out of him. In the text it said "They were dancing in circles happy as can be when you see a dark giant dog jump from the bush. He leaps on the leader and slots his throat. One by on the al die the same, Buck pouncing on every single one killing them instantly. " This told me the Buck was pretty mad, he decided to kill the tribe instead of run them off. As Buck sniffed around he found John Thornton laying on a bed already dead. It was to late he had all ready been sacrificed. Bucks new friend and saver is a memory in his heart.

This last chapter was jaw drooping for me, the way the author wrote this section made you feel the anxiety or the fear of actually being there during this. This story was really interesting, from the beginning of the book I wasn't really into it but towards the end I enjoyed it. The suspense was also when a pac of wolves came to camp and tried killing Buck. In the text it said "Out of the shadows there was a wolf, and then another and so on. Until a hole pack of wolves emerged from the woods, Buck was terrified. One by one they jumped on Buck but Buck killing ever single one. Buck wins." He begins to become the lone wolf but then when winter comes he becomes the leader of the pack. This story is very outstanding I cant wait to do the project on it.

Call Of The Wild. 10

In this chapter there was lots of commotion and loss. The dogs had been pushing the slay far enough wear they were at the point of stoping. So Hal the owner of all these dogs stopped at a tree right before they crossed the "White River". In the text it said "Now all we have to cross the White River, only a fool would do such a thing. said John Thornton. A fool? said Hal. I am no fool i've made it this far already that doesn't mean i'm a fool. Ill cross that river if its the last thing I do." When I read this couple sentences I asked my self why would it be so bad to cross that river thats full of ice? But thats when I read back to the text were it said in the first sentence "It was a early spring morning" That told me that they did not want to cross because its a patch of melting ice over a big river. Now John Thornton was with them this whole trip, and he did not like the way Hal treated the dogs.  When it was time to go Hal called the dogs, non of them got up they were to tired. He pulled out his whip and 1 by 1 was whipped. They all got up except for Buck, he was getting whipped and whipped but he couldn't feel a thing because of how tired he was. But Buck wouldn't budge because he knew that it was to dangerous to cross that river. That was when Thornton had it so he graved an axe handle and hit Hal repeatedly. With a hunting Knife He cut the harness that was on Buck while the sled left.

This chapter was very heart warming in a way, for example the text said "As the look behind there shoulder the see Hal and his sled crossing the river. When all of a sudden the dogs and sled and Hal fell right threw the ice. Noting was left but a black patch over the ice." Now that tolled me that if it wouldn't of been for Buck being uncooperative, him and Thornton would have died too. After all this commotion Buck found his new loving owner. After this whole tragedy I think it will get harder for Buck and Thornton to find the gold. But then again the can still keep going together.

Call Of The Wild. Chapter 8

In this chapter Buck starts a fight with Spitz.  Spitz offended Buck and Buck would snarl at spits. In the text it said the owners would separate them when they were near each other. Buck sprang into action when he attacked spitz. The fight was on, the rest of the sled dogs barked and watched in amusement. In the text it said Buck broke both of Spit's legs. Buck jumped breaking Spitz's shoulder. Spitz was dead, Buck was the new leader of the pack.

In this chapter I think buck steeped up his game. He had to do what had to be done for him to have a better chance to survive. I really enjoyed this chapter because it was full of suspense. It had me asking what was going to happen next. I think with Buck being the leader things are going to change and get harder. He has to lead the sled and other things.

Call Of The Wild. Chapter 2

In chapter one Buck meets the other alpha named spitz. Buck is staring to get a hang of how to pull a sled around threw the snow. He is also making new friends like Curly. Spitz dose not like curly for example it said that when Curly was being attacked by a pack of huskies Spitz just stood there watching in amusement. This was not so pleasant for Buck but he just let it be. Buck was depressed after he saw his friend Curly die moments after they separated the fight. Bucks body starts adapting over time to his surroundings. For example he got thiner and stronger so he could pull the sled faster and easier. But buck also dose not eat as much as he should be.
This chapter in my opinion was were everything was stirring up. Buck got better at pulling sleds, his friend Curly died. And most of all Buck has just figured out he is not top notch. I started realizing that because Curly would do what he thought was fun or good in his way risked his life. For me this was a life lesson. I thought of it as a life lesson because say your at school and u talk back to the teacher or you don't do your home work because thats how "You Roll".  People are not going to like it or I mean teachers are not going to like it and you get a detention. Here he did the same only with his actions but that caused his life. I really enjoy reading this book and I cant wait to find out what happens next.

Call of the wild.

I have am reading a new book called "call of the wild" In the book there is a dog called Buck. Now buck lives in California like a normal dog. I turns out buck is a husky, so he got stolen from his house. Now he was put to the job in Alaska. He pulls sleds that way 4 times the weight he does. Buck would day dream about his owner. He would say very strong quotes his owner would say because his owner was a  Judge.

This book so far is a man (dog) vs self at this point. Buck is struggling to sleep because he argues with him self. He tells him self what he can and can't do because of how he looks. In my opinion i thought that it was crazy how your life can change in a instance no matter what you look like or what you are. Thats why many of us should be grateful for what we have every day because you can lose all that in a split second.

A Rise Sir David Beckham Part 2

After David's signing with MU, he was chosen to go to Real Madrid.  After that loan David was playing and scoring goals like the living legend he is. Now with 3 kids his life had become a bit harder.  "He was not just a loving father and a perfect footballer but he was also a loved man in England." Said his coach.  After 3 weeks of playing in Madrid, He was then hated by England. Things like "David Back-scum" And having dolls hung with Davids shirts on.

After reading the chapters 10-14 I realized that Davids career was not over yet. David Beckham's career was just ending, but at the same time it had started over again. Now with a loving wife and three healthy kids. His life was perfect, he thought about settling down and raising his kids with his wife. I look up to David Beckham because he is an living legend.  From not having anything in his life as a kid besides soccer, to turning into the legend we all love and cherish today. And thats my dream.

A Rise Sir David Beckham

Over the past couple weeks I have been reading the Nonfiction Biography on the living legend David Beckham. This legend started his dream of become a professional footballer at the age of 14. He was signed to Manchester United. "Ever since a little lad he's been dreaming about playing on the pitch." said Sandra, Davids mom. David Beckham from the looks of it was a good footballer from his young ages. When he was 8 he won an award at Old Trafford in 1986.

I was reading chapters 3-8 and I started prediction what was going to happen next. I was reading when I realized something in the book. I realized that David Beckham was not just a famous foot baller but also a loving father know. I had an Aha Moment after this, I thought to my self how was he going to continue his career now as a loving father.  I kept reading to find out what was going to happen when all of a sudden I read he had another 2 kids. Thats when I thought his career was over, but surprisingly it wasn't.

African Cup Soccer Matches Affected By Ebola Virus

Have you ever had the chicken pox? You probably got sick and itchy, thats normal. But some people don't believe in disease. For example, this week there has been a sick case going around. Have you ever heard of Ebola? If you haven't, you ether are one of the people that don't believe in these diseases or you haven't been watching the news.  This week is the quarter final of the African Cup.  More than 300 players have died already.  Many coaches are afraid this disease could destroy the tournament. Ebola is a very dangerous disease well know in Africa. For example in the text it said "Ebola has killed nearly 1,000 people in West Africa. This told me that this disease is a big killer in Africa.

In my opinion this article told me that disease is very dangerous. No mater what your situation is you alwase have to have saftey percaution. I thought to my self that Ebola is a very deadly disease. In the text it said "Sierra Leone won't hold any soccer matches for now because of the Ebola virus." That told me that this disease stopped this famous tournament. This tournament took time and effort to make, but for them to stop it means there has to be a big case behind this.
