Strike Three Your Dead Summary

The book I'm reading is called "Strike Three Your Dead". In the book we come to two boys name Mike. The Mikes are two best friends and they are both are called Mike. Its Mike and then they call the other Mike "Other Mike". In the story they both have a close friend named  Lenny and he loves baseball and claims that "He's the worst baseball player there ever was". There was a thing about Lenny and that was a baseball announcer. Lenny was great at announcing things and a baseball announcer would fit Lenny perfect.  In school there was a contest to see who can make a video about them selves announcing at Phillies game. Who ever made the best video got to actually go to a live baseball game and be an announcer at a Phillies game. Lenny knew that this was his time to shine.

My book would fall into the category Teen Fiction and sports. What I like about this book is that it has explicit details, you can infer about certain things in the book and I absolutely love that because you feel so smart because you inferred whats gonna happen or what happened. Ive actually never fallen to the category Teen Fiction and Sports. I usually read Realistic-Fiction but this time I wanted to try something new so I decided to read Teen Fiction and Sports. When I read the book 'Strike Three Your Dead" I wonder to my self "Why haven't I read this genre before like its good". Another thing I enjoy about this book is that I play sports to and when I read books that have sports in them I understand what they mean. For example if a book said "Who's on top of the line up?" Which means who's batting first? That phrase is usually meant for baseball/softball.

Blink Once

The book I read was called "Blink Once". In the book we meet this boy named West. West is a very outgoing person. One day West and his friends went to go for a bike ride and West decided to show off and do a cool trick on his bike, when he fell and ended up being paralyzed. Throughout the book its talks about the rough times he has and the difficulties he is facing from the incident. I personally enjoyed this book because it had a lot of conflicts. One other thing I loved about the book was that every time there was a conflict in the book you would want to continue to read and read. I like this in a book because you don't ever get tired of the book because it has conflicts that keep you thinking.



The conflict in my book was that this girl named Olivia was on the other side of the room where West was staying and Olivia would listen and closely analyze what West would be doing or talking about. Another main conflict in the book would be in the beginning of the story because everything happened because of something West did which was try to act cool in front of his friends. If West were to never do that there probably wouldn't be a lot of conflicts throughout the book. 

Scope Blog Call Of Duty

The inspiring story "Call of Duty" made me realize that the  dog handlers from the military, should be able to keep them if they want.  Dogs are a big help to the marines and the last thing that dogs need is to be abandoned or not taken care by someone . In the story we meet Jose Armenta.  He was a handler to a dog named Zenit. Zenit was a dog used for military purposes. Zenit could sense when there was a bomb or an attack towards the military, Zenit would then alert Jose. This story reminded me of my uncle. My uncle's name is Luis and he served in the military for 8 years and he was a dog handler for a dog named Potofo. My uncle was happy that he got to work with a dog. My uncle said "Potofo is my best friend im so happy I even met him" . My uncle ended up taking Potofo (Po-to-Fo). All the time I see Potofo he is energetic and full of joy. From what my uncle told me I strongly believe that dog handlers should have the capability to take there dogs if they want to. Jose lost 2 legs because of a bomb. Zenit was sad to leave his dog handler and be with someone else. Dogs are like humans they miss there owners when they haven't seen them in a long time. The Message was that dogs are very special to dog handlers. Dog handlers are like attached to the dog, because they both have been through a lot. Like Jose he went through a lot with Zenit and they ended up living together because of how strong there bond was.

Lemon Brown Summary

I read the story "The Treasure Of Lemon Brown" this story was a very inspiring one.  Lemon Brown taught Greg the importance of memories.  I truly believe that this story had a good meaning to it. I was in shock when Lemon Brown was fighting guys who where trying to take his treasure.  What surprised me most about the story was that Lemon Brown was a rich musician but he gave that all up. Now he is a homeless man that was living in an abandoned place.  I was confused by how Lemon Brown gave up everything to be a homeless man.  There's so many people that wish they were in  Lemon's Brown shoes , famous and rich.  That shows that not everything can go well for everybody.  Lemon Brown taught Greg many things.  Small things can turn into the biggest and most remembering things.

Blink Once Summary and POV

I am reading the book "Blink Once" and so far I have learned that one of the main characters who is called West is known for a boy who tries to act what he's not. West's main hobby is bike riding. He was bike riding with his friends when he decided to act cool and show off. He did a trick on his back leaving a horrible aftermath. He was rushed to the hospital and later on told that he was paralyzed. West couldn't believe what happened he was in shock.  He kept thinking to himself, that he could've avoided this from happening if he didn't try to show off in front of his friends. West didn't think something like this would happen. 

   The Point of View in the book Blink once is the First Persons Point of view. I know this book is a first person point of view because he uses I , me , and mine. He talks about himself in the book for example in the book he says " I had learned my lesson". "I would be more careful on the bike". "I would not show off for Mike or anyone else". (12).  I enjoy reading the first persons point of view because when I read books with first persons point of view I feel like i'm that person. I can image whats happening in my head. When I also read the book out loud I feel like i the character. I would read a different point of view just so I can learn different Points of View. I would also read different points of view because as a reader I feel like I can learn things from different points of view.

Thirteen Reasons Why Summary and Character Analysis

          I read the book "Thirteen Reasons Why".   In the book theres this boy named Clay, he gets home from school and notices a box. He runs to his bed were the box is and stares at it. He then opens the box and is surprised at what he's seeing. There are 13 tapes inside the box about why Hannah decided to end her life.  Clay then finds out that he is one of the reasons why Hannah ended her life. He's terrified and shocked.   If Clay chooses to listen to the tapes that were given to him, he will find out why he was one of the reasons she ended her life.

Character Analysis: In the book "Thirteen Reasons Why" we meet Hannah.  Hannah is a very Apathetic girl. For example on page 23 she says "I know what you all are thinking Hannah Baker is a slut". She's facing real life and she doesn't care what people think of her. Hannah really never cared to what people labeled her as. So from what she said I can infer that she doesn't care about what people think or say about her. She's also a very outgoing girl. She lives her life everyday like it's her last. Thats why Hannah is one of my favorite character in the book.  Hannah went through a lot.
