The name Bailey is the meaning of baby and man in charge. These definitions are suitable for the book because Bailey was a puppy so he was a baby. Bailey seemed that when he is older he is going to be a dog who wants to protect his family and be in charge.Bailey was a puppy who wanted to explore everything that was around where him. All he wanted to do was get out of the house and run around like the other puppies. These definitions were not suitable for his personality because Bailey was not in charge at all. A man was in charge of Bailey and his litter mates, he took care of Bailey’s mother too. Bailey was just a puppy that wanted his mother’s attention and wanted to play with his litter mates all of the time. Bailey is a common name for a baby so it was very suitable because he was a baby named Bailey. The meaning of the name Ethan is strong and firm. These definitions were suitable because Ethan lived and worked on a farm. To live and work on a farm you need to be a strong person, physically and mentally. In the book it says that Bailey helped him with all of his farm work. Ethan was also firm in the book but he was a sweet owner to Bailey. Another definition for Ethan was long lived, we do not know if this is suitable for him. Bailey and Ethan had a very strong connection towards each other.

There are a lot of characters in the book and all names have meanings. Jake means is the cutest boy you'll ever meet, or look at, he has great taste in music and has the most amazing hair ever, he's the best friend you'll never meet, he is loveable and caring, and if something is going wrong he'll try to make everything better. It also means an amazing guy that is really funny and really adorable that you can’t help but love. The definition of Jake is true on what it says in the book. In the book Jake is quarter back who has long nice hair. He is also very athletic. Tim means a very fun, funny, intelligent, handsome, hardworking, and talented guy. Tim’s are usually very skilled and competent. They are much focused and can do pretty much anything they set their minds to. and are sensitive to the needs of their loved ones. They are very loyal friends. If you are fortunate to have a lover who is a Tim, you will do well in life. Another definition of Tim is someone caring and kind; who will go out of his way to make someone happy. Outgoing, good looking and smart. Hard worker. This relates to the book by Tim is a very nice person and a very athletic person. He and Jake are the two main characters in the book. They are also great friends too. Tim is also nice to all of his teammates. I would read this book again.

Joe Stoshack is a young boy who has a special gift, he can travel through time with baseball cards. A place that I think he would enjoy is going to Arizona with his baseball team for Junior Olympics. He would enjoy this trip so much. He would stay at a hotel right next to the J.W. Marriot. Everyday he would have to play a game. He would get to hang out with his baseball team, I'm sure that he would have fun being with his friends on vacation.he would have to get a bunch of rest each day because he would play games every day and it is very hot in Arizona . He would probably get to go into the pool at the J.W Marriot every day if he wants. He could also bring Flip with him because Flip loves baseball as well. They would probably get to go and see an Arizona Diamondbacks game too. Joe would love that. He likes baseball games. The Diamondbacks have an awesome stadium. The Diamondbacks also have a swimming pool in center field. That is one thing that makes the ballpark so unique. Joe would also love the Breakfast there. There is a place called Chompies, it has amazing breakfast. Joe could go there a few times because he is in Arizona for a whole week. He could go down to Mill Street. There is some great dinner down there. A good place is The Mellow Mushroom. It has some amazing pizza, and Joe could go there with his team. Going to Arizona would be a great vacation for Joe and his family. He would enjoy hanging out with his team and playing a bunch of baseball. It is very competitive. Joe would love this vacation because of all of the baseball and he would get to hang out with his friends on his team.

The two movies that I have watched that I feel my main character, Callie, would really enjoy are called Nancy Drew and Jonny English Reborn. In my book, Trouble the Water, Callie was a young black girl living in the South in the early 1950’s. This was a time of the civil rights movement where whites and blacks were not supposed to get along. At the risk of being punished, Callie continued to hang out with her friend, Wendell. One part of the book is when the cabin that the runaway slave hid out in got burnt to the ground. This made her mad. She set out to find clues to who was behind it. I feel that Callie might choose to watch Nancy Drew was an investigator. Just as Nancy Drew is investigating the house she lives in, and finds out who killed the lady, Callie wants to investigate who burnt down the cabin. Since Callie wants to be an investigator this movie would most likely encourage her to become one. Another way that Callie can identify with Nancy Drew is that both of their parents tried to protect them from danger. But, Callie, just like Nancy, never listened. Callie would like to watch Johnny English Reborn too. I think this because it is funny and he is an investigator and spy, and Callie wants to be a spy. In the movie, Johnny English Reborn, Johnny is fearless just like Callie. Callie proved she was fearless by continuing to play with Wendell.

Prompt 10
The names I am going to use are Mocha, Stephen, Charles, and Abigail. These are some interesting names. Mocha means a dark brown color. Stephen means a crown, it’s a greek name, and is used for male names. Charles means free man, and it comes from a german language and is used for a male name. Abigail means joy of the father, and is from hebrew and is used for female names. The name Mocha does relate to the Mocha in the book because the color of the dog is white and is a dark brown color. Mocha did not have a dark heart she had a heart that wanted to take adventures and see the world. Stephen does and doesn’t relate to what his name really means. The reason he does relate to his name is because having a crown is like being king and kings are not afraid. Just like a king, Stephen was not afraid to go outside in the horrible weather conditions to save his family. The reason it does not relate to his name is because in the story he doesn’t belong to a royal family. Charles name does not relate to his real meaning in the story because it has nothing to to do with being free or getting to do what you want. Abigail’s name does and doesn’t relate back to what the story is. Abigail’s name relates back to the story because Abigail had a joy of puppies. She loved puppies so much. These characters were all very important in the story and they all had a love for puppies. These names are very interesting unique in their own and special way.

In the book Auggie and Me there are three different sections. In the second section it talks about Pluto or Christopher. Christopher is Auggie's best friend. Then Christopher moved away and it was very hard foe them both. Chris had gotten some new friends but Auggie didn’t. Chris has a really hard life because his parents are getting divorced and his mom just got into a car accident. Some people he might think of as a super hero are, his mom his dad and Auggie. He always said that his mom was a hero because she is always strong for him. She does so many things for him and she loves him so much. She only got into a car crash because she was getting his stuff on a rainy day. She didn’t have to but she did. She is such a big inspiration to him and she will always be there for him. His dad might be a hero to him because his dad also does a lot of things for him. He will never leave his side. Even if him and Lisa (Chris’s mom) get divorced he will always be there. He is a great dad and he is a great example for Chris. And lastly he might think that Auggie is a hero. Auggie Pullman was born with a facial deformity. He is a big part in Chris’s life. He is a very strong young boy who is an inspiration to Chris. He had such a big heart and when Chris thought that he was having a bad day he would just think of how Auggie felt and re-thought that.

The first person I would like to introduce Jack to would be McGyver. I chose McGyver because he knows how to make tools out of simple materials, He could teach Jack how to make tools that will help him survive on the island that he was stranded on. He could also teach Jack how to fix the burnt barn and turn it into a shelter for him and all the dogs and sheep, but even better McGyver could teach him how to build a boat or raft to get off the island with. Next, I’d have Moxie the Sheep Dog be introduced to Scooby Doo. I have chosen Scooby because he can teach the dogs how to talk so that the dogs would be able to communicate with Jack and help him survive on the island. Scooby could also help Jack with understanding the dogs rather than trying to teach them how to talk which would probably take a while to do. Jack also needs to meet Peter Pan’s best friends, the lost boys. The boys could teach Jack how to survive on an island considering that they have lived on an island for their entire lives, although they have been living on a magic island I’m sure that they could still teach him how to make a shelter and teach him how to make simple tools. In conclusion, all these people could teach our main Protagonist, Jack, to survive on the island with all of his dog and sheep friends.

Greeting Thomas,
I am Giovanni, a rebel to the corporation WICKED, this is why the rest of my identity must remain anonymous including my name. I send to you this letter to help you, you are the only hope for the human race, that was not a lie, but WICKED has many selfish and “wicked” intentions that put you and the lives of your fellow Gladers in harm’s way for the benefit of themselves. I offer you only what I can give in the hope all your success as a group making it safely through this difficult and strenuous trial. The best advice I can offer you is stay on your guard and believe anything can happen, for WICKED has many cunning ways of manipulating your minds and turning all of you against each other. I know your minds must be racked with all the horrifying possibilities, but I ask that you keep calm, clear your head and listen to all I have to say. Stick together and watch each other’s backs; this is the only way you will all survive. I can’t tell you what lies in store for you, WICKED has changed the “variables” since I last saw them. All I know is you need to be prepared to fight retched creatures, such as the Grievers you faced back in the Maze. It is probably best that you travel at night to avoid being seen by anyone or anything. At all times lay low and be discrete to avoid contact with the far gone cranks that populate this barren wasteland. This “wasteland” will be scorching hot hence the name of this trial, look for anything to cover up and protect yourselves from the harmful rays of the sun. As I said before keep your eyes peeled for any useful supplies and provisions. After this do not try to contact me. Just please listen to what I said and remember WICKED is not good no matter who tries to convince you otherwise.

There once was a boy on a boat, how had a very nice coat
The crew always saw the sea, and that is want all they could ever see
The captain was a great leader, who never was a cheater
They made trade with gnolls, but they did it look like trolls
The little mate, did not think this was his fate
They traded that the harbor, and their exports grow farther
The boy misses his home, when he started to roam
They travel seeing the bright blue sky, a few months easily flow by
The boy love to sketch, and that is not a stretch
The boy has sketches from his father to his teachers, that is one of his features
A man came one day, they felt something I cannot say
The crew was not very fawn of him, the chances of liking him were slim
The man mysteriously when in to the rain, at that moment the captain had to use his brain
The man seemed to be interested in the boy, the crew thought it was a ploy
They went back to their ship, and the crew was already equip
That time the crew was in trouble, and when they fled all that was left was there bubble
The ship had set sale, but another ship was on their trail
The crew was ready for a fight, one mate was filed with delight
Even the boy was getting ready, the boy was feeling unsteady

A place where harry potter would like to go on vacation is Orlando, Florida. I think he would like Orlando because they have the wizarding world of harry potter. He would like it there because it’s practically a replica of what Hogwarts looks like. I think harry potter would be proud of what he has done and how popular he is in America. The park is located at universal studios and has three attractions that make the book feel like it came to life. This would be a great vacation for harry because it refollows the steps harry takes in the book but then he could do it all over again and people can experiance he had at Hogwarts. Each day harry would do something different because there is so many things to do there. The first day he is there he would be harry potter and the escape from the gringotts. The second thing harry would do is take the Hogwarts express and remember the ride he took to Hogwarts and how excited he was. The third thing he would do would be olivander which is a game that recreates you uses magic with your wand and casting spells. Harry Potter would be amazed on how popular and famous he is if he was a real person and would love to fly to Orlando to see how they made an amusement park out of this story and following his steps and Hogwarts. Harry Potter will always be important to the people of America.

Tris should talk to Katniss from the Hunger Games. She could teach her how to use a bow and arrow for survival. Katniss could also teach her how to be smart with decisions when she has to make them quick on her feet. The information in the books that I’ve read would have been very helpful in some parts because Tris made some bad decisions along the way. Tris can be very emotional just like Katniss, but it does not stop them when they are trying to achieve their goals. Thomas from the Maze Runner would also be a good person to talk to because he is very smart at solving the patterns to things. He could teach how to be successful at surviving off of only two or three resources. He even managed to accomplish the impossible if you read the book. She should also meet the guy from American Sniper, Chris Kyle. He could teach Tris how to have better aim and how to survive a gunshot wound. He could even teach her some fighting skills that would help keep her alive during tough times. Even though Chris died, his family still kept going. This relates to when Tris had to leave and lost her own family, but it helped her to become an even stronger person. Not only did the American Sniper get approximately fifty confirmed kills with a sniper, he also saved people’s lives too. This would have helped especially when Tris’s mom got shot. She could have stopped the blood by applying pressure to her mom’s wound. These combined skills could help Tris in many situations.

The character I would recommend songs too is Cyra Noavek. Cyra is the sister of the young Shotet leader Ryzek Noavek. Ryzek is brutal and gives no mercy. He's manipulative and smart. He uses Cyra as a weapon by making her use her current gift to harm and kill people. Cyra is strong though, she can protect herself and stand her ground. Although, she's also loyal to her brother. She doesn't want to go against him but if she had to, she would. The first song I'd recommend is “Heart of A Dog,” by the The Kills. I would recommend this song because some of the lyrics mention, “I'm loyal, I've got the heart of a dog.” Cyra is loyal to Ryzek and has the heart of a dog by not turning against her master. The second song I'd recommend is “Hit me with your Best Shot,” by Pat Benetar. I would recommend this song because if shows a woman's confidence in strength even in Roth times. Cyra is a strong young woman who isn't afraid to stand her ground. The third song I'd recommend is “Make you Cry,” by John Paul White. This song relates to Cyras situation with Ryzek. She wants to get back at him for everything he's made her do and for what he's done to people, but she can't push herself just enough to fight back. The fourth song I'd recommend is “Uprising,” by Muse. This song also relates to Cyras situation with Ryzek. He try's control her and treats her like a soldier than like a sister. The song talks about how they will not be controlled and be used. The fifth song I'd recommend is “Shot in the Dark,” by Ozzy Osborne. This relates to Cyra because she always been taught to be a weapon and that using her current gift to harm people was right. She later realizes it's wrong and backs away, but she keeps getting pulled back in and she's forced to do thing doesn't want to do. Cyras current gift is dangerous and powerful. If you so much as touch her your body will be taken over by the current inside her and eventually bring you to your end.

In Star Wars: Bloodline, the story focuses on Princess Leia, or now known as Senator Leia Organa. She has to deal with the forming of the New Republic after defeating the Empire twenty-five years ago. She has to deal with many problems as the head of the New Republic. If she were to listen to music, she would listen to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. In this story Leia wants to stop having to deal with the government for once in her life. She would listen to this song because she wants to have fun and live life outside of the government. Leia would also listen to Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. This song would cheer her up when she has to deal with a loss or the collapse of the government. If the government collapsed, the universe in Star Wars would be destroyed by The First Order. Another song that Leia would listen to is Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen. She wants to listen to this song because she wants Han Solo, her husband to call her, or at least talk to her. This happens after their son becomes Kylo Ren and becomes evil, and Han Solo went back to being a smuggler after their son left them. She would also listen to Alright by Kendrick Lamar. This song says that if you have God in your life, then you will be alright. Leia would listen to this song if something went wrong in the government. Another song that she would listen to is Because Of You by Kelly Clarkson. She would listen to this song because it is about an abusive family and how horrible the father was. Leia's father, Darth Vader, had her imprisoned on the Death Star for having plans on how to destroy it. These are the songs that Princess Leia would listen to.

Irena was always faithful and could tell Elli how to be faithful. I would also want her to meet Peter. He could tell her about faith and how he failed to trust Jesus while walking on water. He could tell about his prison time and help her with spiritual issues. Next I would like Elli’s brother Bubi to meet Jesus. In the story he isn’t too faithful. He needs a role model who has perfect values. Jesus can help Bubi with the issues of the war and all of his problems. Bubi should also meet John the Baptist who had amazing faith and was martyred for it. John was wise and had a blessing from the Lord. John could influence him I ways no one could. Lastly I would like for Bubi to meet Samuel Morris, an amazing man. Samuel and Bubi would relate. Each boy was torched, practically starved, expecting death, and were freed.

There are many characters that would be good for Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark to meet. Katniss Everdeen should meet Harry Potter because Harry Potter and Katniss Everdeen both are brave and show courage in times of danger, Dobby the house elf told Harry Potter that he was in danger, and might be hurt or killed. Harry still was brave and went to hogwarts for his second year anyways. Katniss Everdeen knew about the fact that she could die a horrible death in the hunger games and her family might have trouble getting food, but still she went to the games because she was more skilled and to save her younger sister Primrose Everdeen from fighting in the games at a very young age and possibly dying as others were older and had an advantage over her. A good character for Peeta Mellark to meet would be the first president of the united states, George Washington. George Washington fought as the continental army cheif in the revolutionary war. Peeta Melark had to fight in the hunger games which he was fighting for his district’s honor. Lastly I think Peeta and Katniss should both meet Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet were in love but people around them were fighting and pressured them to fight. This is just like how the story for Hunger Games is, with the tributes fighting to death just to reward their district..

Dear Mr. Coughlin,
I understand that because of your upbringing it is very hard for you to get out of this life, but you must do anything that you need to for your own survival. For example I understand that your partner, Dion, his brother died in this line of business, and I would hate to see that happen to you especially now that you are married. although I am telling you that you need to escape this life I also understand that it is much better said than done. Unfortunately for you, Mr. Pescatore has you basically underneath his thumb and you almost can not do anything about it. The only advice that I have in that situation is to try and explain to Pescatore all the things that you have done for him that basically enough is enough. Try to explain that there is only one job left in you but afterwards you must stop this line of work for the better sake of your family. Another piece of advice that I have for you is to try and make amends for the many crimes that you have committed. Believe me, I’m not telling you that you need to exactly turn yourself in, but what I am saying to try and confess to those few who may be willing to forgive you without getting yourself arrest, because I know that you will never do that in a million years. Final piece of advice, Joe… Please, just watch your back. You never know how long people could hold grudges.

This book he walled city is about three characters Dai, Jin, Mei Yee. All of these characters all are different but all must join forces just to get out of the walled city. The walled city is a city where china put all of the bad people or inappropriate things in that city. Dai is the only boy in this group he just wants to get out to see his family. Jin is a girl who didn't want to be there she chose to be there she wanted to find her sister who was taken by people who live in the city. Mei Yee is actually Jin sister but they don't know that yet. I think that Dai would be like Batman because of the fact that his parents are dead and he's trying to survive by himself just like batman did, he also gets beat up a lot and so did Batman. Jin should be the Flash because she runs and she is fast, and if you are a girl in the city you are easy prey for all of the bad people in the city. Barry Allen is the flash and he would run really fast to outrun all of the bullies in his school. Mei Yee would be wonder women because she fought to stay alive her whole life and has always been a natural born fighter same a s wonder women.

The character I chose to talk about is Prince Caspian. I chose Prince Caspian because I think he is adventurous and a fun person in the book. I believe he would like to read Pirates of the Caribbean because it has a lot of pirates, ships, and a lot of incredible sites. I also think he would like the Star Wars series of books because of the struggle between good and bad just like in the stories of Prince Caspian. His character is a lot like Luke Skywalker in that he is a young man who has to learn to be strong to resist temptation. Luke also learned to be a leader. Another series he would like is the Magic Tree House, because of the crazy tales and adventures. Harry Potter is also a series that deals with a boy becoming a young man. Lastly, The Lord of the Rings for the reasons I’ve all ready mentioned, but in The Lord of the Rings, everybody has to work as a team to accomplish the common goal of destroying evil, and setting aside selfish wants and ambitions. This book would help Prince Caspian become the man his friends would want him to be; someone who puts others before himself. All of these books would teach Prince Caspian strength in the face of evil, patience, and to think of others.

Me: Was it hard for you to move on after your little brother died?
Bill: Well it’s always hard to lose someone you love at the beginning.
Me: What do you mean by “beginning”?
Bill: When someone you love dies, it’s obviously heart breaking. But usually we find something to help us get through that death. You never “get over it” when someone dies. That’s why I had to find my comfort in writing.
Me: Speaking of writing. You have written fabulous horror novels.
Bill: Yes, those books are very special to me.
Me: How so?
Bill: Well I write these books to help me get through some stuff and mostly because it gives me something to do.
Me: Why do you think you are more attracted and more interested in writing horror novels?
Bill: I write horror novels because it makes it easier to write what I’m feeling or what ideas come into my head. If I had all my dark subject material in a children’s book, obviously I would be under a lot of heat. But since I write horror books, it gives me more of an opportunity to speak freely on whatever is on my mind.
Me: Do you ever think of your brother when you write these?
Bill: No!
Me: Maybe?
Bill: Well, if I’m being honest, yes. These books help me dwell with the pain. The pain never goes away. The writing just helps it subside until it’s time for that pain to return. I just always find it hard to think about Georgie.

Blog #10 Prompt 13
Lone Survivor is a book filled with action and military tactics. I'd recommend any war book for Marcus to read but since Luttrell was actually in the Navy, I would recommend similar books that relate what happened to him. Books I would have recommend for Marcus Luttrell to read is American Sniper , featuring Chris Kyle as the main character, Hacksaw Ridge which is about Desmond Doss who managed to save seventy -five to 100 people from battle as a medic, The Art of War by Sun Tzu, Saving Private Ryan, and 13 Hours. American Sniper and Lone Survivor are very similar. Lutrell and Kyle had similar tasks because they were both Marines/Seals. The story is about Chris's survival and how he fought no matter what, just like Kyle would and did.They both used similar army tactics and were both extremely brave for fighting. The story of Hacksaw Ridge and Desmond Doss is very different yet similar to Marcus Luttrell's story. Although Desmond Doss was not for violence at all. He never carried a gun in battle. Luttrell was more about killing anyone who was a threat to his brothers and his country. However, both men were dedication to join the military and serving their country at different cost. Hacksaw Ridge is a great book about the hardships and struggles of war. 13 Hours was a story about war in Benghazi against terrorists on September 11. Many countries were too scared to go to Benghazi for the fear of militias would ambush them. However the six man crew in Benghazi were not too afraid to fight the terrorists.Saving Private Ryan was a great and emotional book. It shows how difficult and sad war can actually be. Each book was a great War book and I would have recommended them to Marcus Luttrell to read.

I think Salva would want to see his family again if he could meet anyone, but I think he should meet Luke Skywalker. Luke would be a great person to meet because he did not have great dad, his mom was gone, but he did have his sister. Salva did not have his parents, sisters or brothers, but he did have his uncle. His uncle got shot and died so Salva did not have anyone. I also think Salva should meet Reese Witherspoon. Reese lost her parents around age twelve because the people from a war burnt it down. Reese was also from Sudan and lost her oldest brother. Reese and Salva were both in Refuge camps, but Salva’s was like a prison and Reese’s camp was very kind and provided them with everything they needed. Another person Salva could meet would be Rey from Star Wars because she lost her entire family and does not know where they are. Salva and Rey are both very good leaders. Salva was in control of fifteen hundred boys and Rey lead the Rebellion side. I also think it would be cool to meet Rey because she can teach you the force. Salva’s uncle should meet Vin Diesel because he is so cool and he is super brave like Salva’s uncle. Salva’s uncle should also meet the Rock because Rock his funny, kind a leader, and super strong. The Rock would be so cool to meet because he is awesome.

The character I would choose for this activity would be Wade Watts. The first song I would choose is Black Betty by Ram Jam. This song would be liked by Wade because he was obsessed with the 80s. He would also like the rhythm of the song because he enjoyed songs from Led Zeppelin and Guns and Roses. The second song I would choose is Paradise City by Guns and Roses. I chose this song because he lives in a havoc stricken society with energy crisis and Paradise City represents a green grasses happy city were you can rock out and chill with you and your friends. The third song I would choose is Crazy Train by Ozzie Osborn. I would choose this song because in the book he constantly hums to himself and plays guitar to a bunch of Ozzie Osborn songs but he never played this one. The fourth song I would choose is Seven Years by Lucas Graham. I would choose this song because it would be inspiring for Wade to marry Art3m1s and have a future with her when they are both future billionaires. The fifth song I would choose is TNT by AC/DC. I would choose this song because Wade is explosive in his actions and he could totally jam to this song while level by level going through old coin-op arcade games. All five of these songs could relate with Wade because he is a good musician and he can jam on guitars to all of these songs.

The wizarding world of Harry Potter is one that is full of many characters with many different personalities. It is a world that anyone can escape to. Harry always loved to escape to the wizarding world because all he wanted to do was escape the Dursleys. Harry may not have listened to much music or any music at all but everyone likes to listen to music. One song Harry Potter may have liked to listen to would be “Dear Agony” by Breaking Benjamin. He may not like the genre of music but he would like the song because he would feel like he could relate to the song. The song name speaks for itself for what the song is about. The song is about agony latching on to you making you suffer and force evil on you just like Voldemort would try to on Harry. A second song Harry would enjoy would be G.O.A.T. by Eric Bellinger. While this song has nothing to do with Harry Potter and his personality this could very well be a song he would listen to as a hype song. GOAT means greatest of all time and Harry technically was the greatest of all time because he was the chosen one. A third song Harry would listen to would be “Not Afraid” by Eminem. He would listen to this song because he would be able to relate to it. The song is about not being a afraid to take a stand to anything and Harry has valiantly faced and overcome his fears and problems. A fourth song would be “All Time Low” by Jon Bellion. Harry would be able to enjoy this song because he believed that he was at an all time low whenever he was with the Dursleys. A fifth and final song Harry Potter would enjoy would be “Battle Scars” by Lupe Fiasco and Guy Sebastian. He would enjoy this song just because the name of the song would mean something to him. While the song itself is about a break up with a girl he could take some lyrics and relate to them with his life. He has battle scars, and unknown to him now is that he will receive more.

Prompt 11
Penny would most likely go to Italy if anywhere, because her dad’s side of the family is from Italy. They came to America before Penny was born, and her dad was only two at the time. Penny’s mother doesn’t like Penny’s dad’s side of the family, especially since Penny’s dad died. Penny has a lot more interest in her father’s side of the family, since her mother is American, and she would love to see where her family grew up. Penny would not go anywhere without Frankie, her cousin. They are best friends, even though he tends to be a troublemaker who breaks rules and would do anything to get attention. Penny is the good one of the two, and she has made a habit of cleaning up Frankie’s messes. If she were to go on vacation she would go with Frankie, her mom, and her uncle Dominic, who lives in his car by choice. She would want to show them where her father’s side of the family got their lifestyle, and prove to her mom that her Italian family is not crazy. Uncle Dominic grew up in Italy, but Penny would want him to have a chance to see his home again. Penny would love Italy, and she would most likely visit the areas that her Italian family went to often. Frankie would most likely make a handful of problems, and Penny would be the one to fix them. Penny is sweet, and would do just about anything to save a life, or help a friend. Italy would be the perfect place for Penny to go.

Dear Evan,
ReplyDeleteToday I will be talking about what movies my characters would like in Narnia the silver chair and why they might like it. Jill pole is our first character and I think she would like the book The Bully because in the story she was bullied by kids in school and when she reads it she can look back on herself when she was a child. The next character is Eustace Scrubb and he might like the book Beowulf because Scrubb can stand up for himself just like Beowulf. Scrubb might like this book because he can encourage kids to stand up for themselves and never be afraid of anything. The next character is Edith Jackel or the owl and the book he would love to read is George Washington because he was a very smart leader and was a wise man. Edith Jackel would love this book because it can inspire him to become a leader. Also when Edith has kids he can always tell them to always focus on school first before anything else. Our next character is The Dwarf and the Dwarf was a very smelly, sneacky, and very bad man because he stole everything he saw. The book the Dwarf would like is again Beowulf because Grendal in the book is a replica of the Dwarf and the Dwarf would love Grendal as a friend or partner. Well that is my blog ten and I hope you enjoyed the show.
