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.
