My book is continuing to talk about Roy Williams life. The book has really gotten in to all the struggles he has faced through out his whole entire life. It talks about his struggles all the way from the times that he was a kid to all the way until present day. But, now at this point of the book he is also getting into talking about things such as when he got his first real coaching job and about his times at Kansas University and University of North Carolina. The first official coaching job Roy Williams got as a head basketball coach was at Owen High School in North Carolina. Owen High School was pretty close to Roy's hometown so him and his girlfriend both really liked that. His girlfriend went to the same high school as him, so they were from the same place. During Roy's time at Owen High School his high school basketball team really struggled year after year. Not many people even tried out for the basketball team, and the ones that did try out for the basketball team were not very good at basketball at all, some of them had never even played basketball before. In his first two years at Owen High School Roy's teams won a combined total of two games throughout their whole season. But, after these first two years Roy's teams really started improving. They had crowds coming to watch their games and the players that were on the team were getting a whole lot better. Roy's teams really started to win games and Owen High School was only the beginning of Roy William's success. After his time at Owen High School Roy Williams got hired by Dean Smith to be an assistant coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This was a dream of Roy's because he attended the University of North Carolina and had even played on the JV basketball team his freshman year and then was a statistician for the team the rest of his college career at North Carolina. Roy was one of many assistant coaches at North Carolina during this time, but he still made a huge impact on the team. Also, Dean Smith highly respected Roy Williams opinion on things so Roy would usually be the one Dean would turn to if he had a question about what kind of play to run, or about what they should be doing differently. After sometime of being an assistant at the University of North Carolina, Roy Williams got hired to be the head coach at the University of Kansas. This was a huge deal for Roy. The entire basketball world was shocked when a young, assistant coach from UNC got the new head coaching job at Kansas. But, Roy had many people high in the basketball business putting in a good word for him; that really helped Roy alot. Not to anyone's surprise, Roy had a very successful career at Kansas. He won multiple national championships and went to numerous final fours, which was a huge deal for such a new coach. Roy definetly earned his respect quickly. After his Kansas coaching job Roy was offered the head coach job at the University of North Carolina, Roy turned down the job the first time, but when the job came around the second time he knew he could not turn the job down. Roy knew this was meant to be. Plus, his kids went to UNC so i

Chinese Finger trap by Chris Crutcher is the first book in many years that made me want to keep reading it. My favorite parts of the book is when Dillon is writing the letters to Preston, I can relate to this a lot because of when my step dad died i would try and text him. Also a close friend of mine killed himself recently and I would send him a snap-chat everyday telling him that everything is going to get better. I feel like i relate to this book because i have been through a lot and can relate to what Dillon is going through. The place i'm at in the book is where Dillon is telling us the story of how Preston killed himself. It starts out with Dillon tracking Preston down to some bar hes in, that is located in a town far from their home. Then Dillon is talking to Preston and Preston is talking about how he needs more 🤬 to feel normal then it gets into how he was forced to rape a girl in the bar. Preston is paralyzed from the waist down some guy picked him up and put him on the table and then the guy forced the girl on to him. Once the ordeal was over Preston went outside started to talk to Dillon and then pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head, Dillon tried to jump for the gun but it was too late. When Dillon saw the bright flash light of the gun going off he looked away because he knew what it meant that his brother was gone and he could never see him again.

Last time I talked about the characters and what happened when AJ left for her work and, thinking it was a good idea, leaving a fifteen year old home by herself in a Hawaiian apartment. I also mention something about a plane going down because an engine went out and they had really bad turbulence. Adding onto that last thought, the story continues. Right when the plane's going down, a boy, named Max, who she's never seen before, throws her out of a burning plane. In a weird way, he was trying to save her life. In her eyes, for a moment, he was trying to 🤬 her. As she's plummeting to the open ocean, life at that moment was in slow motion. Slowly falling, thinking about why her, why now, and why did Max shove her out of the burning plane. As she hits the cold waters, a sense of, is it worth living, has flown over her and her mind is contemplating whether or not to live or pass. In the book, it seems like forever, but in real time it was probably a minute or two. Robie decides to swim up and while her eyes are adjusting to the sun and salt water burning her eyes, Max, the boy who saved her, pulls her up and onto a raft.

Monument 14- Eric Bruick                                                              Monument 14 is one of my all time favorite books so far and im only 1 chapter into it. The book starts out relatable and easily captures younger audience members instantly with it's relatable opening. My favorite part of the the book so far is when the bus flips in the beginning of the book. They are on the way to school when all of the sudden it starts hailing. The hail goes through the windows and starts hitting the students killing some on impact and severely hurting others also. They run into things when all of the sudden the bus flips over throwing people all over the bus. In the process of throwing people around the bus it brings others together who usually don't get along well bringing most of the bus to safety  It's my favorite part for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons this is my favorite part is because it shows people coming together even though they don't like each other they come together for the better of the group and instead of survival ofthe fittest they help the others and aren't selfish and it really shows the good in the world and how it still exists. This book remind reminds me a lot of lord of the flies because it shows how young kids deal with a society without older adults. Even though it's only for a little bit when the bus driver died it was only the kids on the bus and they had to figure out what to do without adults telling them just like in the lord of the flies except in this the kids handle it professionally where in the lord of the flies they start going insane with the power and control they had and killing the other kids were in this they helped the other student and got them out of harm's way and to safety with only a few casualties. This book has been  amazing so far and I doubt it will slow down at. This book starts out as appealing to you audience but from the point i'm at right now I could see how it would be appealing to all people right now and how the book shows civilization when in traumatic event. I can’t wait to finish this book and start the next one and see if it's as good but knowing this author i think it will be just as amazing and interesting as this.

Pudge is going through alot of differences in his setting and he is going through character changes as well. I believe that he has become less judgmental because of the people he is friends with. He seems to adapt well though because he is liking having friends. It helps that it is first person because you know how he feels. I wish i did know what Alaska was thinking because i want to know if she likes Pudge or not. It is obvious he has a big crush on her but it seems that he thinks that she wouldn't go for him and she does still have a boyfriend. Alaska seems to enjoy Pudge on a friend level  but not dating level. It's confusing though because there was a moment where they almost kissed but she stopped it from happening. Alaska’s point of view I feel like would be that she likes Pudge but enjoys their friendship more. She also probably thinks that if anything were to happen it would ruin their friendship. If they do decide to get together and be on a more than friend level I think that it would be good because they already click so well. Pudges family is totally out of the loop on what's been going on at his new school. They probably think that it's an amazing school with challenging courses but really it has led him into a bunch of stuff that aren't really that great. Such as him smoking cigarettes and getting kidnapped in his sleep and almost drowning. Also all of his new female interactions. They would be shocked because they seem like a cookie cutter family that wouldn't tolerate any of those things. His parents also told him all these rules when they were leaving him their at the new school and he has broke every single one. I feel like these experiences have been good for him because he has had new life things that he didn't see or hear in Florida. I think that if he were to have stayed in his hometown his life path would be completely different because his outlook on things i feel like changed. I'm excited to see if his parents find out anything or if they will catch him in his lies because he isnt going home for thanksgiving because Alaska wants him to stay with her. Alaska was gonna go to her boyfriends school but he has too much schoolwork. He didn't want her their to distract him. So Alaska made a list of reasons why Pudge should stay. Even though his parents were really looking forward to him coming home but he said alot of his friends were staying and that he had alot of schoolwork to do. But both of those are lies.

I have been given a lot of insight on the character’s thoughts so far. Even though it may not be directly saying so, it can easily be inferred what kind of mindset they are in. Everything is still very tense and moral is low because of the loosing conditions of the war. I would not think it is very easy for anyone to keep a positive attitude in this type of situation. On top of everything, being shipped off to the war is still fresh in the minds of the soldiers and their families. It’s hard not to be on edge and only think of the worst possible outcomes while at war. After one of Kauzlarich’s soldiers is killed by an IED, the tensions within the crew become way more amplified. The author does a very good job of painting the picture for the reader, with details of the characters feelings. Even though the book is told in third person point of view, the author uses an omniscient method for the readers to understand the other character’s feelings. Several characters are struggling with one of their crewmates deaths still. Still fresh into their deployment, the idea of war has not fully kicked in yet. Kauzlarich is still able to keep the “all is good” attitude, hoping it will pass on to the rest of his soldiers. He gets messages and emails from his wife back home. In this part of the book we see the kind of homesickness Kauzlarich is going through, as well as most of the other soldiers. He is forced to remain professional but at the same time it is hard not to take time to oneself and be upset and miss home maybe a little bit. It does not directly tell us in the book but it can be inferred that the homesickness is most likely worse in the soldiers with less experience than Kauzlarich. Until the "it's all good" attitude eventually gets into the minds of the other soldiers, it will probably take some time to get over their own homesickness.

This week, I finished the Book 'The President has been shot' by James L Swanson. The book finished with describing Lee Harvey Oswald's attempted escape from Dallad that only got him cpatured by the police. Then it went on to tell of the funeral of JFK, which was modelled after Abraham Lincoln's. Because I finished this book, I started a new book, called 'Leviathan' by Scott Westerfeld. The story starts out with Prince Alek, the son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie being taken out on what appears to be a nighttime walker practice run. In the book's alternate history Universe, in the 1860s Charles Darwin discovered not only evolution, but also how to genetically modify animals. This led to Britain and her allies relying on genetically modified beasts for their armies while Germany and her allies use mechs for their armies. Back to the story, Alek's sword trainer and his walker trainer explain to him that they must leave Austria, for his parents have been killed in Sarajevo, and now rivals within Austria and Germany wish to have Alek killed. Meanwhile, a Scottish girl named Deryn wishes to join the British Air Service, and is disguised as a boy to do it. She fools everyone into thinking she is a boy, then, for the recruits first text, they have to go high in the sky on a Huxley, a type of balloon like beast. She has no fear of heights, and volunteers to go first, but while she is up a storm approaches and she must cut the rope to the ground. Now drifting freely, she doesn't know if she will survive

Mong is one of the weirdest most wild people Miguel has ever met. Miguel was introduced to all the kids in the group home and within 2 minutes, Miguel started fighting this crazy man who is Mong. No one knows whats up with Mong, his face is covered with scars, Miguel wakes up to Mong hovering over his bed, and he leaves for long periods of times. He knows next to nothing about Mong besides the fact that he Asian, and he's crazy. When Miguel was in juvie he roomed with a big black kid named Rondell, they didn't get of on the right foot exactly but but they somehow formed an odd bond. To Miguel's surprise, Rondell brought to the group home and him and Miguel were reunited as roommates. Mong had planned a breakout and he gained trust in Miguel because perhaps he liked that he wasn't afraid to fight. Also, since Rondell was Miguel's room mate, they couldn't get away with the breakout without Rondell and sure enough, Rondell was on board. The plan was simple, get Jaden (their counselor) distracted and take his keys without getting caught and sneak past the lazy fat guard in the middle of the night and it went very smoothly. The plan afterwards was to get Mong's cousin to pick them up and drive them down to mexico where they would then be taken to a beach and work as a fisherman or in a hotel and make a life over there. Miguel had to give up his past life and although it was tough to think about never seeing your family and friends ever again, he had to get past the fact and focus on getting away. The pick up didn't go so smoothly as far as timing but she did get to them after a long night of frustration for Miguel because he was begging to think that she was never gonna come. They had their plans to go to Mexico but Mei-Li (Mongs cousin) decided to take Mong to see someone because he is "sick". They ended up ditching Mei-Li at a pizza place because Mong believed that she wasn't gonna take them to Mexico after all. They ended up having to take a bus as far down south California as possible with no real difficulties and now they are close to finally crossing over to Mexico.

I switched my book to Room by Emma Donoghue. I changed it because i wasn't interested in my other book and it was too depressing. I chose this book because I saw the movie. I also heard that the book is better than the movie. I discovered the movie while I was browsing on netflix and read the plot which I thought it seemed interesting. I ended up really liking the movie because there were many twists and emotional moments. This book is about a mother and her five year old son who are stuck in a shed that they call “Room.” I am only a few pages in but there are a few differences between the book and the movie. One of them is that the narrator is a five year old boy so, the wording is a bit confusing. While in the movie, it is narrated by the boy but, his language is a bit more understanding and not as confusing. This book is separated into 5 long chapters that are one word summarizing what happens within those chapters.

So far, there is Ma and Jack, her son (the five year old boy). They live in a place called “Room” and Jack has lived in Room since he was born because Ma gave birth to him there. Since Jack has never been exposed to the outside world, his perspective on life is very limited. For example, when he watches tv, he doesn’t think that people on tv are not real people and they are fake. There is also a man named Old Nick who comes in at night and it appears that he rapes Ma in their one and only bed while Jack is put in “Wardrobe” so he does not know what is going on. At the very beginning, it is Jack’s fifth birthday and because they only get “Sunday Treat”, he gets upset because Ma didn’t get him enough candles. Ma then explains to him that they had to use Sunday Treat for his birthday cake and at first he gets really upset but then he forgives Ma and asks for it for next Sunday Treat.

So far, I think this book is pretty good and really interesting to read. It’s definitely different than other books I have read because it's narrated by a five year old boy therefore, the language is a little confusing to understand but its cool because you get to know what a little boy is thinking that has never been exposed to the world outside of Room. So, I highly suggest to read this book and the film.

In chapter 5 of The Shadow of the Wind, Daniel dreams of becoming a novelist. He said that growing up surrounded by books and libraries inspired him to write his first novel. One day, when he was walking down Calle Anselmo Clave with his father, he discovered the Montblanc Meisterstuck, a plush black pen the seller swore had once belonged to Victor Hugo himself and with this pen he wrote the manuscript of Les Miserables. They decided, then, to take a look and when inside the shop. The seller told them that he had bought it personally from a most serious collector from Paris and that he had assured himself of the item’s authenticity. Sempere asked for the price, but as expected, he could not afford it. The bookshop provided just enough to keep them afloat and send Daniel to a decent school. Nevertheless, after seeing Daniel’s disappointment face, he proposed that he would buy the pen for him when he was old enough to start writing, and he promised him that no one would buy it if the pen was meant to be for him.

Sempere, instead, bought Daniel a number two pencil so he could start writing his first novel. He wanted to tell the story of an extraordinary fountain pen, similar to the one in the shop, though enchanted. The pen was possessed by the tortured soul of its previous owner, a novelist that had died of hunger and cold. When the pen fell into the hands of an apprentice, it insisted on reproducing the author’s last work, which he had not been able to finish in his lifetime. Daniel attempted to recreate the novel on his notebook but failed every time he tried. He could not find the words to describe the novel the way he wanted to. He blamed the pencil. He thought that the Montblanc would turn him into a master writer. He was convinced that with such a marvel one one would be able to write anything, from novels, to encyclopedias, and letters. A letter written with that pen would reach the most corners of the world, even the place where his mother went after she died. He would also write her a letter if he owned the pen.

The Montblanc Meisterstuck pen is a symbol of connection between Daniel and Julian Carax. It draws a parallel between the two characters lives. Both of these individuals own the pen at some point in the novel and it was given to them by someone that cared who cared for them. For Daniel, his father bought him for his sixteenth birthday because he wanted to become a novelist as a child. In Julian’s case, someone bought it for him as a gift, but decided not to give it to him and sold it instead to the store where Daniel’s father ended up buying it from.

So I am almost finished with my book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Thus far into the book, there has been lots of different kind of romantic relationships that have occurred or broken apart. Two of the supporting characters, Sam and Craig, have been in an invested relationship for over a third of the book. Sam is now graduating from high school, and Craig is in college. Their relationship has not been talked about all too much, but there have been specific details that were given. Sam is in love with Craig, and the feeling was supposed to be mutual. Turns out that Craig has been cheating on Sam for some time now, and with several different women. A handful of my friends have been treated poorly or cheated on in their romantic relationships, and I always come back to the same question of is it possible to love someone, but cheat on them? My personal answer is no. I feel as if the majority of people if asked this question, would say no. If you love someone, you would never subject them to that type of position. That position of being a second option or a sick chick would never have even been created. I have heard so many different stories of boys cheating on girls, but still claiming they love them. This particular subject of cheating is something I am very passionate about advocating both on and against. I think when it comes down to it, this definitive image of 'love' is widely 'misdiagnosed', so to say. I think people way too easily come to the conclusion that they are in love. It almost seems to be some sort of rite of passage, to be able to state you've been in a serious relationship or something like that. Being in love, and loving someone, are two different things. I strongly believe that each individual has to create their own definition of love. Sure, there are common things that an individual feels or ways they act when in love. But I think everyone experiences love differently. But that being said, there are people like Craig out there, who can claim they love someone while cheating on them. Maybe my stance and view on it are wrong, I'm not sure. I know what it is I believe, but that could also be interpreted differently by people like Craig. I have so many mixed feelings on my own words now, and so many feelings on this topic just in general. No wonder love is one of the great mysteries out there. As I grow older and experience it more myself, hopefully I'll come to be able to answer more of my own questions. But in all, I don't think love and cheating are something that can exist in the same air. If you truly loved someone, you wouldn't have a need to cheat, and that's something I won't budge on.

Alone, everyone feels alone and its an awful feeling. Alaska always feels alone she only goes home from boarding school at Christmas. Thanksgiving break was coming up and Alaska did not want to stay on campus alone so she asked Miles (Pudge) to stay with her and he did.

The thought of spending a whole week with her would be amazing and that he might find out more about her. She corrupts him and they drink together over Thanksgiving break. Alaska is a very private person and doesn't want anyone to know anything about her which is the mystery about this book. She's out of control and doesn't care what she does but she does care if she gets caught. There's a rule at this school and that is to never rat someone out and if anyone finds out they will make your life a living 🤬. Pranks is a huge deal at this school. If someone pranks another person then they don't truce until they get them back. After everyone gets back from Christmas break a huge prank is planned between Miles roommate chip and Alaska. They plan on hacking into the grade system to put in different grades for these boys who pranked Miles and Alaska. Not only did they hack the grading system but they snuck into their rooms and put blue dye in their shampoo and hair gel. While doing this they all decided to stay in this barn on campus, it was Miles Alaska Chip (also known as Colonel) Lara (Alaska's friend) and Takumi (Chip's friend). All of them were playing drinking games and Alaska decides to tell a small part of her story but not much. It makes me curious on what will happen next.

For hundreds and hundreds of years the U.S has had many struggles and different viewpoints on racial views. In the novel All American Boys,by Jason Reynold and Brendan Kiely, shows a great explanation of how there are, still in the 21st century, racial stereotypes between races. The novel is overall based on racism between whites and blacks in the U.S. One of the main characters in the book, Rashad, was beaten relentlessly by a white officer in the food mart when he never did anything wrong. The officer just assumed he was stealing because of his skin color and arrested him when he was clearly innocent. I addition, the police officer was lying, saying that Rashad was resisting when he clearly wasn’t just so he could beat him even more. Rashad was rushed to the hospital and ended up having a broken nose and broken ribs. Events like this are still happening in our society today. For example, In Mesa, Arizona, just a few months ago there was a case about a white police officer beating a disarmed black man at an apartment complex. The difference between the officer in the book and the officers from Arizona is that the officer in the book did not have any punishments to his actions, but the officers in Arizona were fired from the department. Racism has slowly decreased overtime, but still is a problem. In the novel Rashad's brother, Spoony, did not want to put up with what happened to his brother and is trying to come up with a way to stop the racial stereotype in his neighborhood. On the other hand, Rashad's dad views differently. He does not want to stand up for his son and believes that it was Rashad’s fault for getting beaten and is on the officers side. Rashad’s brother, Spoony, is very determined in doing something about what happened to his brother and making a change. Sadly, It is very unlikely that he will make a difference of the racism and stereotypes of colored people in the time period he is in, mainly because of the civil rights act being so new to the constitution of the U.S.  The only solution that has seemed to work from the time period the book is in to present time, would be time, since the population still has to adjust to the abolishing of slaves and change in equal rights being for everyone.

That night he gives her a tattoo of his name after she does a line of coke. He says that the tattoo is so she never forgets him. She leaves later that day and gets on the plane and thinks about how much pain she is in from the tattoo even though she is on coke she says it still feels like she has been stabbed. She starts thinking about what her and Adam did and she is happy about it. The plane lands and she begins to see her family but is very hesitant to see them because she says when you come back from a trip all they wanna do is talk about themselves and act like they care what you did. Her mom automatically assumes she is okay because she doesn't really get the chance to say much because they are all in her face asking her a ton of question.

I’ve gotten to page 292 of my book, Life (by Keith Richards), and I have to say, there’s a lot of material covered so far. It was sad to hear about the demise of Brian Jones, the Rolling Stones founder and multi-instrumentalist. But It was surprising to learn that Brian was a woman beater and a huge narcissist. He also had a severe drug problem to the point where he couldn’t record or perform any Stones music because he was so drugged out all the time. This led to his removal from the band and shortly after that, his death. I found Brian to be a unappealing character and I would say that Keith Richards agrees by looking at his attitude towards Brian. This also ruined the bands friendship. Also, after gaining fame, Keith Richards was repeatedly hassled by rogue cops and investigators trying to convict him of whatever they could. Although he was a frequent drug user, they merely wanted to charge him to benefit themselves, because “Keith Richard jailed” sure would draw a lot of attention from the media. Of the very few complaints I have about the book, the biggest would be Keith’s writing. His sentence structure and technique can be hard to follow sometimes (almost like stream of consciousness but still contained to a story). Even though the structure can be dodgy sometimes I actually enjoy it for that reason; it makes you read more carefully and you almost get a view into Keith’s mind. Keith repeatedly says how good of a musician/songwriter Mic Jagger is and I’d have to agree. The ability to adjust your song/lyric writing to whatever song you are playing is skillful and important if you want to produce a variety of sounds and genres. You can also learn a thing or two about songwriting or just day-to-day advice that Keith gives the reader. When asked about the process of writing a certain song during an interview, Keith said “I just went into the studio and laid it all down in one take. There it was. I don’t know if it was just in the car, but suddenly they come. And that’s really, to me, what songwriting is. I have very little to do with it”. This is very interesting because it shows how music writing can be very “off the top of your head” and sudden. I’d say he’s right on that one.

I think the audience of the book I am reading is the public, but more specifically, teens. This entire book is a type of social commentary on police violence and the Black Lives Matter movement. Some of these concepts can be pretty difficult to understand because they have so many parts that make up the whole. This book breaks down these concepts so that they are in the form of a more relatable story and so that more people can understand. Without reciting random facts or cases, this novel is able to relay the author's purpose of informing the public about important matters like these. This novel follows a teenage girl during her struggles with speaking out against police and unnecessary violence. On one hand, she wants to speak out in order to push for justice for her friend who was pointlessly killed by a police officer. On the other hand, she is afraid of speaking out for fear of being outed as the witness and the possibility of retaliation. The reason that I believe this novel is meant more for teens than the general public is because it also involves some components of a young adult novel. For example, The Hate U Give has a lot of internal conflicts shown within the main character, Starr, regarding her race and how it affects her relationships. Starr goes to a school that is predominately white. This gives her a lot of trouble after the incident regarding Khalil because she starts to notice little things that they do or say that show that they have some prejudice toward black people. It's not that her friends are trying to be offensive or that they are even aware what they are implying with their words, but Starr has become more aware of these things. She realizes that there is prejudice everywhere, including in her school. After Khalil was shot, Starr became hyper-aware of the daily offhanded comments that are said to her or about her. Also, The Hate U Give has a love story tied up in all of the drama and events that occur during the course of the book. Starr has a white boyfriend that she met at school. After the shooting, Starr becomes a little uncomfortable around her boyfriend because she lost some trust in white people. This may seem a bit bizarre to others, but it is understandable once the reader realizes that Starr's classmates don't know the "real" her. They call Khalil a "gangbanger" and "ghetto" without realizing that Starr was his friend and that she lives in the same neighborhood as he did. The Hate U Give shows the inter-workings of a teen girl's mind as she deals with trauma. This trauma just happens to be related to something as serious as police violence. It shows teens the thought processes of a girl dealing with some big issues. So although these issues should be extremely important to the general public, this novel's audience is mainly teenagers.

In Be More Chill I think the basis currently behind this part of the story is that the Squip which is a pill has now been eaten by the main character, Jeremy and he pretty much ruined his friendship with his before-Squip mind. I think at this point the five hashtags that I would use to describe the situations are #Relationshipproblems, #Badboys, #Relatable, #Getoutofmyhead, #ThankstoSquip. All of these decently describe the book because the relationship problems relate strongly to his current situation with Christine, because in his non-squip mind, he really likes her and the squip seems to be focusing on the more popular, more attractive girls to help grow Jeremy’s popularity. The Bad boys hashtag relates to the book because Jeremy would always get to class early and now he's skipping some of his classes and going out and smoking pot will his “Squip friend” and two other girls. This behavior doesn’t seem like it will change in Jeremy which could mean that his character traits have drastically changed since the beginning of the novel. The hashtag relatable, is that now that Jeremy has access to all the world and cultural news it is almost impossible for him not to relate to a TV show or any kind of political argument because he has all the possible news at his fingertips. The hashtag get out of my head relates to how Jeremy hears this extra voice in his head from the Squip and it causes him to often turn it off because the Squip gets annoyed with most everything that he naturally does. One example of this is when he’s on his way to school and starts to sing an Eminem song and the squip says that he can’t sing unless he turns it off, and in the fact that Jeremy enjoyed singing and didn’t want to hear the Squips opinion. The final hashtag that is relatable to the book is the thanks to Squip because without the Squip, Jeremy would still be the nerdy kid that no one notices and now he’s becoming one of the most popular kids in highschool. All the positive hashtags to the Squip I believe will eventually turn negative. The reason I believe this will occur is because there’s a saying that all good things will come to an end so I feel that, at the end of the day, he’ll get the popularity he craved but he won’t get the girl he wanted.

With the many complications that this book has brought to my mind I have decided to change books. My expectations for this book weren't as anticipated, I thought it was going to start off with his early conflicts of his life but he is just talking about his family and friends and what they played in his early life. When reading time comes up I am not interested to read this book at all in fact the last 2 reading times we had I didn't read anything due to the lack of interest and creativity in the beginning. But if you are a reader who likes slow build ups to the conflict then this is the book for you. Stanley does a very well at making the reader feel like you are there at that moment with him. He is a very thoughtful author with lots of childhood stories that affected the reader because of his experience. Stanley goes to church often but he isn’t proud of his past actions in church. He waited for the donation basket and took 3 to 4 dollars in quarters and bills each time in church. Also his mother refused to give up on him so he was baptised in a holy church but he thought it wasn’t any more important than him getting dunked in a pool with his homies. Also his teacher Miss. Atkins physically disciplined him in class with a wooden ruler in the hand. He felt like she thought it was her duty to discipline him and his fellow classmates. If the child moved at anytime the punishment would start over. But what Stanley didn’t understand was how no one refused to take the punishment. To conclude this book is mainly his life lessons in his context with his difficulties.

I am reading the book The Knife of Never Letting Go by author Patrick Ness. In this book the main character Todd Hewitt lives in a town called Prentisstown. Prentisstown is in the New World and all of prentisstown residents are men and boys. There used to be women and girls in the town but they all died from a germ. Todd has been around for 12 years and he has never since a women before, only in videos. From what Todd knows at the beginning of the book is that the women and girls of Prentisstown died from a germ. This germ also made all the men go crazy meaning that every man and boy in the town are able to hear each other's thoughts which is known as noise in the book. The town is very different in the way they do things since their are know women around but it is what Todd Hewitt has grown up to know. The mayor of the town, Mayor Prentiss, has gotten rid of any learning. He burned all the books in the town and the classes at school where no more. Ben and Chillian are the two men who look after Todd. “He tried to teach me reading and writing, too, but Mayor Prentiss caught wind of it in my Noise one morning and locked Ben up for a week and that was the end of my booklearning…” (Ness 19). I feel with the mayor of the town banning school learning, there is something big he is trying to hide. I feel it is about what happened with the women and girls of Prentisstown. Todd has only ever seen women and girls in videos and in the Noise of men who miss their wives. When he runs into a girl in the swamp it is of very much shock to him, it is not something he thought he would discover in the swamp since there are no more girls and women in Prentisstown. In the book with the way Todd talks and the way some words are spelled you can tell that the town has a lack of learning. Any word like direction or congratulations would be spell like you think it would be spelled, like you hear it. So in the book direction is spelled out direkahun and any word ending in a shun sound it is spelled with a shun. I am curious to know if the women and girls of Prentisstown were actually killed by a germ or if it was something else that the mayor is hiding from all the men and boys of the town.

The book Freakonomics goes through many different stories, which cover a wide variety of topics, taking place all over the world.  As authors Levitt and Dubner finish the first chapter discussing how incentives have an impact in every culture, they explain the large incentive for cheating that takes place within Japanese Sumo culture. After reading this, I became really interested to in learning more about sumo wrestling, and its impact that it has in Japan. Sumo is a full contact, grappling sport, which originated in Japan. Sumo began as an ancient imperial ritual which demonstrated strength and spirituality.  From the mid 1600's, sumo began to expand outward as a national, competitive sport. After WWII, sumo was popularized and began to hold 6 national tournaments a year: the most that had ever been held in one year. After I had learned about the historical origins of Sumo, I began to wonder about the rules and specifications of the sport itself.  I was very pleasantly surprised when researching because I learned that the rules of sumo wrestling matches are very simple. There are only two rules: don't step outside the ring, and don't touch the ground with any part of your body other then your feet. The minimal rules and simple goals make sumo wrestling matches very short; often times lasting only a few seconds. I also learned that there are no weight classes or divisions in sumo wrestling, making a balance between strength and agility crucial to winning a bout. When a sumo bout begins, both wrestlers must start in a crouching position. At the call of the official, the wrestlers jump from their crouch and try to latch onto or push one another out of the ring. After one wrestler has been pushed out, the official points to the winning side for recognition. While this may sound like a simple sport, it is very difficult to begin a career as a competitive sumo wrestler. In Japan, there are many opportunities for children of primary, secondary, and collegiate level to start sumo wrestling. While many children may try, only few will make it to the professional level. Many sumo organizations have minimum height and requirements, meaning that anyone below 5'8" will not be able to compete. Weight also plays a significant factor in the selection of the sumo elite. Because there are no weight classes, one wrestler may face another who is of similar rank, but twice his own weight. However, if a wrestler can surpass these obstacles, they may be able to rise through the ranks and compete at the professional level.
