LAST BOOK REPORT!!!!! :D

Part 1

        I read the book The Client by John Grisham, and the main character is an eleven year old boy named Mark Sway. He has a younger brother named Ricky, and his mother Dianne. They live in a place called Tucker Wheel Estates which is a trailer park. He’s a street smart kid that smokes his mom’s cigarettes. His parents got a divorce because his dad would get drunk and come home and abuse them. In the book they say that they went to court because his dad came home so drunk Mark had to hit him with a baseball bat. So now Mark is kind of the man of the house. He likes to protect his family because in the book he won’t tell the judge where the body is hidden, and Mark knows that if he tells where the body is that people will try and hurt his family.  

Part 2

        This book has a lot of conflicts in it. The main conflict in this book is when Ricky and Mark are in the woods smoking, and they watch a guy named Jerome Clifford commit suicide. Jerome was a lawyer to a guy that’s in the mafia named Barry. Barry hid the body in Jerome’s garage and the cops are trying to find the body, and Jerome thinks Barry is going to kill him so he killed him first. Before Jerome kills himself he tells Mark where Barry had hide the body. So when Mark escapes from Jerome and him and Ricky run home, and Ricky goes into shock so they have to go to the hospital. When Barry finds out that his lawyer killed himself and Mark talked to him before he died Barry knew that Jerome told Mark where the body was hidden. So when Mark is at the hospital with his mother and younger brother he goes down to the cafeteria, and when he’s in the elevator a guy gets on and threatens Mark with a switchblade. The guy tells him that he better not tell anyone where the body is hidden.

        Another conflict in this story that happens is when Mark has to go to court because he knows where the body is hidden, and Mark is taken to jail until he tells the judge where the body is. One day Mark fakes being in shock so they would take him to the hospital and he ran away with his lawyer. So he and his lawyer run to New Orleans to go find the person Barry killed. They go during the day to see where they can sneak into the yard to get to the garage, and when they go at night there are some of the people Barry hired to go get the body so he could throw it in the ocean so no one would find it. So when Mark and his lawyer are there at night Mark scares them away by throwing a rock at the neighbors window and they call the cops so the guys that Barry hired would run away and Mark would find the body and they could tell the cops.

Book Report #3

Part 1

John Tyree is the main character in the book Dear John by Nicholas Sparks, he has brown hair and brown eyes. He grew up with just his dad, when he was about one year old his mom left him. He played football, basketball and ran track in high school. In his senior year he started to cut classes and he quit sports, and he started to let his grades slip. He did drugs and drank he would sneak in his house at night and his dad would catch him but didn’t do anything about it. He never really was in any kind of relationship, and the one girl he dated he thought he loved her but it didn’t work out. When it came to collage he didn’t go he could keep a good job so he decided to join the army. During the three years he was in the army he felt like he grew up and went home to visit his dad. When he was there he met girl named Savannah, and when he first say her he knew that he loved her, but when he left for the army the realized it wasn’t going to work so they went their separate ways.

Part 2

I think the author made the book come from John’s point of view because he wanted to show how he got to where he was at when John and Savannah first met, and how he felt when they talked and when they were together. Also because when John and Savannah were on the pier and she gave him that book I think the author wanted to show how mad he got when she handed that book to him, and telling him that his dad has some kind of mental problem. Sometimes I think it would have been better if the author switched the point of view with Savannah because when John was in Germany she got married and her whole life changed when he was gone, but it kind of gave the book a little shocker because when John went to her house and he saw that she was married and who she got married to it made the book a little better. I also think it would have been better if it was in Tim’s point of view because he loved Savannah for a long time and when John came in her life he was just happy for her because he never seen her so in love with someone before, and I think it would have been good to see what he was thinking all this time.

Book Report #2 :)

Part One:

I read the book Something like Fate by Susane Colasanti. Lani is the main character in this book she has long black hair and hazel-blue eyes. Her best friends are black and Erin. She had known Erin for years and is very close with her. One thing Lani loves doing is checking her Horoscope. She found out that she’s a Taurus which means that she loves nature, seeks comfort, connects with the Earth, into serenity, stubborn, passionate, and nurturing.

        Lani is a caring person. She cares a lot about the environment. There’s a group in her school called our world, she cares so much about the world that she is the president of the group. Any extra time she has she’s making posters to tell people that they should recycle instead of throwing it away in the garbage.

          Another thing about Lani is that she’s brave. When she and Erin were little they got in a really bad car crash, and ended in a lake. Then later in the book Lani wants to learn how to swim for her family reunion in Florida. So she takes swimming lessons, but every time she goes in the water she feels like she can’t breathe and she freaks.  At the end of the book she learns how to swim without freaking out.

          The last characteristic about Lani would be that she’s a good friend. When she thinks that meeting Jason is fate, and their soul mates she hides her feelings for him because she knows how much Erin likes him. When her friend Blake tries to tell Lani that she needs to go out with Jason, and that their made for each other she just tells him that she can’t do that to her.

 Part Two:

                        This book has one flashback in it. It was when Lani was talking about how she’s afraid of swimming. She said it was she and Erin were little and they were driving home from a Girl Scout meeting and they had to drive in a really bad rain storm.  Lani and Erin didn’t really know each other then, but they were friends. While Erin’s mom was driving the rain got worse and worse until her mom swerved of the road in a lake. Her mom was knocked out cold, and the girls didn’t know what to do. So Erin told Lani to come in the back with her, and that saved Lani’s life. So Lani has always been afraid to go swimming.

Choice Book

For my choice book I read lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen. The main character in this book is a 17 year old girl named Ruby.  She and her mother have similar features like their red hair and pale skin. Ruby was abandoned by her mother a couple of months before she was about to turn 18. She had to fend for herself for a long time. Even when her mom was still around she did everything, like paying the bills and finding something to eat.  She feels like she doesn’t have to depend on anyone and that she can take care of herself. She can be very independent, and she can also be sweet and lonely on the inside. I think Ruby is independent because she lived by herself for moths before anyone found out. She can be lonely sometimes in this book because when she has to change schools and she doesn’t know anyone there. At the end of this book Ruby changes and learns a lot.

I think this book was really good. I would recommend this to girls. I think girl would like it more than the boys would is because it has romance and family. The thing I liked the most about the book was the main character. It seemed like she wasn’t afraid of anything. She would leave school to go to her old house and see if her mom came back, or go see her old friends from her other school. One part in the book that I liked was when she went to meet her friends in the woods and she got drunk and passed out. Then the next day she woke up in her neighbor’s truck because he picked her up. Later in the book they have a little relationship, and that’s when she finds out that his dad beats on him. I think that the family has a big part in this book because Ruby starts out with a bad one and ends off with a pretty good one. At the beginning her mom drinks and smokes pot, and then she leaves Ruby all alone. So Ruby has to live with her older sister and brother in law. Then one day her teacher asked her to ask people what family means to them. By the end of the book she gets a lot of different answers but she like her sisters the best.

Duluth trip

I was stuck in the car with my family for 3 hours, I wanted to scream for help! We were almost there and everyone was excited, because we were going to Duluth for the first time. The first thing we did was go to are hotel and went swimming. After that we went back to are room and got dressed and went out to eat. When we got back to the hotel we had to go to bed, because we were going to go to Gooseberry falls. When we were there we walked on the rocks and took lots of pictures. My mom told us that we were going to make are way to the top of the waterfall, so we started to walk to the top. Me and my little brother ran a head of everyone else, and we found a path in the woods. So we started to go down it, when we came back we couldn't find the rest of are family any were!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Vallyfair with my family

It was about two summers ago when my family thought it would be fun if we all went to valleyfair. So  my parents bought the tickets, and my mom packet the lunches. When we got there everyone ready to go and ride the rides! The first ride we went on was the crazy mouse, it was me, my mom, and my two sisters. Me and my older sister sat in the front, and my mom had to sit in the back with my little sister. The whole ride my mom and sister were screaming their heads off, and me and my sister were laughing at them. when everyone was done with that ride we went a took a old fashion photo. After we went on lots of some more rides, me and my brother went on the corkscrew. We tried to get my little sister to come with us but she was still freaked from the crazy mouse. everyone started to get hungry so we went back to the truck and had lunch. When we were done there was some pretty bad looking clouds coming are way. So we put r swimsuits on and went swimming before it started to rain. It was freezing outside but we still went on the water slides. Then it started to rain so we put are clothes back on and walked around until it stopped. After a hour with rain we kept on going on the rides, but only the ones with water, because we were already wet from the rain. When the rain finally to stop we went back on the rides. It was about time to leave but my dad wanted us all to go on the wild thing, but he only got me, my older sister, and brother to come with him. After that we went and got ice cream and then left. So that's my awesome story about the time I went to valleyfair with my family.
