My Bucket List

My Bucket List

The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien

Every since I was a little boy I have enjoyed learning about wars.  This book was written about a guy who survived the Vietnam War who later became a father and a writer. The author describes in detail the important things that the men carried with them as they walked and walked from one agonizing battle to another.

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

I chose to put this book on My Bucket List simply because never have I read a book written by Dean Koontz. Also it would be interesting to find out what kind of writer he is, and to see what the slogan on the front of the book “Every gift has its price” means.

Tree Girl by Ben Mikaelsen

When I first decided I want to read Tree Girl I had no idea it would be such a sad book. I read this book and from the beginning to the end of it the story changed from a happy little civilization to a war story. The people that lived in the beginning of the book and the ones that were still alive in the end were completely different in the way they acted and how they thought.

The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson

Jack The Ripper is back but it seems only one girl is able to see him, Rory has no idea why she can see him but no one else can. Books about serial killers and other murders are interesting to read and find out if they were ever caught or if they are still on the run killing people as they want.

The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson

 Ginny is wondering all over Europe looking for envelopes her aunt left, but just when she thought she was done her back pack was stolen with the last envelope inside. Now to find out what the envelopes were all about I have to read the book, its nothing but a big mystery waiting to be solved.

 Cryer’s Cross by Lisa Mcmann

When I read the summary for this book it immediately made me want to read it and discover  what were the secrets of Cryer’s Cross that are so important that the whole town goes above  and beyond to keep hidden. Once the town is hit with a horrible tragedy one girl Kendall can’t stop digging to learn the truth.

Her task ahead of her gets even harder once she finds out how complicated the world really is. How will she do it, that’s why I want to read this book.

If you’re fifteen carrying you mom’s ashes headed to India and you get separated from your father but run into a mysterious man who you start to love what should you do?

Forgiveness

Life is all about forgiveness, at the time of the crash i may not have been able to forgive the people who had caused me to be in that situation that meant life or death. But if i was to survive by someone miracle then maybe later it could be possible to forgive those poeple. In that situation forgiveness would have been limited for me.

Good Literature

   Although John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men was first published in 1937, it gives several examples of a healthy mind (George) verses a non-healthy mind (Lennie). Good literature is something everyone should  learn how to use in their writing.

  Believed by Steinbeck, good literature comes from within the heart. "Literature is as old as speech." Good literature evidence: " humane heart in conflict with itself." "Mans proven capacity for greatness." Literature has been around for a very long time, since the alphabet or even before the alphabet.

  Talking in Crook's room Lennie gets violent with his words when discussing Georges return. "George gonna come back." Most of the book is not very good literature, but this is one of the best phrases or statements Lennie said throughout the book. " Endles war against weakness and despair." Helps us to know what we can do in the future.

  George describes to Lennie about the place they dream to have. "No place for rabbits now, but I could easy build a few hutches and you could feed alfalfa to the rabbits." George uses pretty good literature in his statements about rabbits.

 In everything people wright they should always use good literature. For what little schooling George and Lennie had, they both used good literature thoroughtout the book. To have good essays one should always use good literature.

The Fields of Gray

      Hay, the primary source of feed for cows in the winter. You feed hay to several different animals like: cows, horses, donkeys and goats year round but mainly in the winter, because they dont have green grass they can consume. In the summer when the fields are right you cut it down. Then you drive over it with a hay rake and line all the cut hay up in rows.
     Next you get ready to bail the cut hay. You hook up the bailer and bale it. You drive over the rows of hay with the tractor and bailer and it balls up and is set on the ground for later use. Once you have bailed all the hay, you line it up in rows of hay bales this time. You should cover it up but most people dont, or you can put it in a barn out of the weather for the winter.

911

"Why did the government not have an emergency response plan before the attacks?" They did not have a plan because, the government did not expect an attack of this size to happen. "Immediately after the first attack the government started putting emergency plans to help and to stop or try to stop the attacks."But now that there has been an attack the government did start putting emergency plans in place. The attack on the World Trade Centers was and still is a great tragedy that will neve be forgotten. The government just simply was not prepared for and attack of this size to happen. The government will be better prepared for future attacks.

I Am...

I am nice and smart.
I wonder what the world will be like in a hundred years.
I hear water running.
I see a purple pony.
I want a chocolate milkshake.
I am nice and smart.

I pretend purple ponies are real.
I feel sand under my feet.
I touch the rainbow.
I cry when purple ponies die.
I am nice and smart.

I understand purple pony talk.
I say purple ponies are real.
I dream of purple ponies.
I try to do the right thing.
I hope purple ponies never die.
I am nice and smart.
