Lisa is just a girl who is timid around horses but her mother wants her to become an equestrian. Maybe if Lisa had more inspiration she would want to be around horses more. It can be a little scary at first but once you get used to it and have more inspiration about it is fun. The first book I would recommend to Lisa is The Black Stallion. This book shows a lot of braveness of a boy and a big horse. I think it could give her more confidence being around horses. It is very touching story. Another book she might like is The Black Stallion Returns. It is a book that is also about the boy and his horse and it shows what a companion the black stallion is to him. A book called Horse Gone Silent is a great story about a horse. It shows what the horse thinking and he goes through a very emotional time in his life. It may give Lisa a bigger heart for horses. The next book I recommend is Son of the Black Stallion. The Black Stallion series is a very good one. This book is very interesting and it teaches a lot about horses and it can give her a lot of experience. The last but not least is the book The Black Stallion’s Ghost. It is one of the books in the series. It will show her to be brave. I selected these books for Lisa to help her to not be afraid around horses. I hope that Lisa will like these books I picked for her and I hope that they show her to be very brave.

I am going to be interviewing ex-navy seal Clint Emerson today.
Clint: Hi, my name is Clint Emerson and I have a few things to share today.
Me: What is a good everyday tool to use to defend yourself?
Clint: A good weapon is a pen. A steel barreled pen can act as a knife in a situation where you don’t have time to get a weapon.
Me: What is the best way to watch somebody without being seen?
Clint: A room hide or a vehicle hide is a good way to watch people. It can not be visible and in a vehicle hide you can not leave the car. Make sure to get food, water, and things to be ready to be in there for a while.
Me: What can you use to make an improvised shield?
Clint: An improvised shield can be two or three hard cover books together. That can block a 9 millimeter bullet. In a time where somebody with a gun is trying to get you an improvised shield can be used to defend yourself.
Me: What are some good techniques while being chased on foot?
Clint: Good techniques while being chased on foot are getting mixed up in large crowds or running and if you do get caught up to use the run fight run technique. The run fight run technique is running and then when you have to fight make it quick and run again. Do not use that unless you have to.
Me: What are good techniques while being chased in a car?
Clint- Good techniques while being chased in a car are driving to areas where there are a lot of stop signs and lights. Do not let the person know that you know that they are following you. Another technique is to drive and write before a train leaves get onto to it. That is tough to accomplish while being chased.
Me: What are good things to carry with you?
Clint: Good things to carry are a weatherproof compass, a gun, a razor blade, a pocket knife, a map, cash, a credit card, a watch, and handcuff keys.

On day two, Evan will be spending the day at sea enjoying climbing the rock wall, parasailing, surfing on the wave pool, and enjoying free internet. On day three, Evan will go to the movies, eat at the buffet, and watch the nightly fireworks show. On day four, the boat will dock in Hawaii. Evan will get off the ship, take his luggage and check in to the five-star hotel, and start exploring the island. On day five, Evan will take a break to lay on the beach and go swimming all day long, and then in the evening, he will go to his very first luau to enjoy a Hawaiian feast and watch the hula dancers.

Chico Holiday and Bob Owen
Blog #9 Quarter #3
Prompt #9
In "Holiday in Hell", the main character, Chico Holiday (Vergolino), is a young singer who is looking to hit it big in the nation. His wife, Sally, keeps persisting and persisting for Chico to accept Jesus. He had many questions about God, and people who he knew were Christian weren't answering them. So he thought since some of God's people weren't answering him, God didn't have a place for him; he ignored his wife and God. But with some experiences with children and adults filled with a spirit he wanted, and his wife almost committing suicide, Chico saw what God could do to anyone. So he gave his life for Jesus. A movie I would recommend to Chico would be "I can Only Imagine." 'I can Only Imagine" (Sort of Spoiler Alert if you want to see this movie) is a movie about a person named Bart Miller, who is, like Chico, a young, talented singer. His father used to beat him, always tell him he'll never accomplish anything; Bart viewed him as a monster. Well, at least for a while. Then Bart took advice from Scott Brickwell, a famous singer, and Brickwell told him he was a natural when he sang songs for the Lord. Throughout the movie, Bart sees God's effect on his own life and his father's. Bart's father went from being the man he hated to the man he wanted to become. I think Chico should see this movie because he relates to Bart so much. He was not beaten, but Chico and Bart both see God's effect on everybody, and it has a huge effect on their lives and their singing. Chico is wanting a heart that only God could give him. The second movie I would recommend to Chico is "Case for Christ". This movie is about a man who was a strong atheist, and was constantly being persisted by his wife to turn to Jesus, and eventually through hard work he did. This man and Chico are extremely similar; both people who did not feel a need for God in their lives, both people whose wives are trying to turn them to Jesus. If Chico saw this movie, I think it would give him the ability to keep singing for Christ, even if no one is listening, there is always that one person who takes your words to heart, so Chico would always sing for that one person. The third final movie i would recommend to Chico is “I'm Not Ashamed." This movie is about a high school girl whose name is Rachel Joy Scott who's always had a passion for Christ, but wasn't always ready to receive God's love. At times her faith would be strong but at other times it would be weak. She stood out in the school and had a huge impact of God. Two boys there who had been pushed around decided to plan a shooting at the school, killing Rachel and 12 others. I would recommend this to Chico so it would teach him that though there may be times in his career that he may stand out from the other because of what he believes in, he will always make an impact on others. Evidently, these movies could make Chico's life and his relationship with God improve greatly.

I think Maia, from this book, would like to vacation in Hawaii. I think the best island would be Maui because it has a lot of beaches and beautiful scenery. Maia would want to go there because she loves the beach, she loves whales and because she has depression and it would make her happy and feel at peace. In this story her missing mom, who she is looking for, loves the beach as well and has taught her many things about whales. Whenever Maia goes to the beach it gives her a sense of comfort because when she was little, her mom would always take her there. She could go to Hawaii for seven days. On the first day she could go snorkeling, she would enjoy this because she can see a lot of fish and really get to explore the ocean. On the second day she will go on a helicopter tour around the island so she can see the beautiful sights from above. On the third day there she could go whale watching because she loves whales and her mom would always take her to see whales. On the fourth day she can swim with dolphins, she will enjoy this because they are similar to whales and very friendly. On Maia’s fifth day on the island she could go on a glass bottom boat because it’s a nice boat ride to see under the ocean while relaxing. On her sixth day she can explore the lava fields because it will be a peaceful and serene thing she could do by herself to distress. And lastly, she could just go to a beach near her hotel because she can enjoy the beautiful beaches of Maui before she leaves.

Freedom. Freedom is frequently talked about in the book Shawshank Redemption. This book is about man named Andy Dufresne who is wrongly accused of killing his wife and so is sent to jail. There Andy meets another who is only known as the man who can get you things, Red. They become friends and have many conversations with each other. Some of their conversations are about freedom and what they would do if they ever got out of Shawshank prison. When the book talks about freedom it talks about it as a privilege, and it is. God gave us the privilege of free will and that privilege led to The Fall. Today in society we have the privilege of free will though if we step too far across the line, then we lose that privilege and we are sent to jail/prison. When in prison you are confined in tiny cells and you are on a set schedule, almost all your days in prison are the same. Some prisoners long for free will again and don’t want to be confined, while others get so use to it that when they are released they don’t know how to function and end up returning. At the end of the book, Red is released from prison and is happy though a lot has changed. The world was a lot different since he had been in that prison for around thirty years or more. He finds it hard to a just at first and on multiple occasions he almost does something to land himself back in prison, but he remembers the words of an old friend and decides that it is better to have his freedom and a just to the new lifestyle, rather than losing his freedom and being confined once more.

Cassie’s name means “helper of men.” This relates to the book a lot because Cassie is constantly helping her squad, also known as her friends. She is always guiding and aiding her brother and boyfriend throughout the book because they were wounded from the cold weather. Cassie is the girl you can always call when you need help. Evan’s name means “young warrior” or “God is gracious.” Young warrior fits Evan extremely well because he is an alien with the most unbelievable fighting moves. He also has an unlimited amount of strength, speed and endurance that is greater than any human. Ben is a star football player turned army sniper. His name means “son of strength.” This meaning relates to Ben because he used to be in the military. It is where he became strong and was able to find his inner strength to help fight the aliens. Alex’s, aka Razor, name means “defender of men” or “protector of mankind.” Alex is a soldier and soldiers are trained to protect. This can relate to him because whenever Cassie is trying to save someone, Alex is right there defending her while she gets away. Alex is always there ready to fight for his squad whenever they need it. Sammy’s name means “sun child.” This relates to him because Sammy is always there to comfort someone in need.

In the future the four kids, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy would be all grown up but still impacted by Narnia. I feel like Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy; the main characters would eventually visit Narnia again in their older age in life to experience being younger and being kings and queens again. They would visit Mr. Tumnus, the Beavers, and Aslan. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy would also tell their children and grandchildren of their time in Narnia. The four would tell them of Edmund being deceived by the witch, and Santa Claus giving them their gifts. They would tell of Aslan being killed on the stone table and how he came back. They would also tell of Aslan killing the evil ice witch, Peter helping to fight off the witch’s army, and being kings and queens of the land of Narnia. They would eventually bring their children to Narnia to become the princes and princesses of Narnia and experience a similar experience to what they had in Narnia. I feel like they would get jobs that correspond with their skills in Narnia. Narnia would influence them into choosing a job later on in life. Lucy had the fire flower healing potion thing so she would be a nurse or a successful surgeon. Edmund wasn’t really given any weapons but still fought in the battle anyways. I feel he could be an entrepreneur because he can be creative and adapt. Susan would be an athlete because of her good aim. She would also make a good cop because of this. Peter would probably work at a big company since he is brave and a natural leader. He would also fight in the military because fighting in Narnia would give him a desire to fight again in the real world. In conclusion, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy would all live happily ever after.

Frankie goes on an adventure with Elliot to see if their house is haunted, but in reality, Reggie just wanted their customers to go away and buy the land. Reggie was doing this because he was jealous that Frankie’s mom did not work the B&B with him and also wanted to get the land back because Mickey solded it to Frankie’s dad. I think the movie Treasure Hounds would be a good movie that Frankie would like to watch because this movie is just like their story. In the movie, the children went on an adventure to find the treasure and to keep the bad people from stealing it. Frankie and Elliot was trying to protect the B&B from Reggie. The movie also talked about the two girls’ friendship was broken just like Frankie and Jessica’s friendship was before.
I think this movie would be a good example of the book Smart Cookie. This book is a good book because it showed that Frankie was really brave to save the B&B and also finding her dad another wife since her mom died. It was really surprising to know that now her dad is dating her mom’s best friend and also her kindergarten teacher. This book also showed Frankie and Jessica’s friendship and was later fixed and now they are good friends again. This book is a good book.

Six months before the night of Nolan’s “Back to School Party”
Ashley Ferguson’s Perspective:
Ashley woke up still in a daze from lack of sleep from her long night of writing her essay on a movie of her choice, choosing the 1992 psychological thriller Single White Female. Ashley focused her essay on the psyche of Hedy Carlson, a deranged woman trying to steal the life of her roommate by becoming her. Ashley sleepily sauntered over to her bathroom. “Oh God, I look awful! I wonder what everyone else thinks of me…‘Oh look here comes Ashley, look at what she is wearing!’ ‘She looks god awful, stay away freak!’ ‘Oh, poor thing, it must be tough to have to wake up every day with that face.’ I just wish I were popular and well liked. Without popularity high school can be so cruel.” Ashley looked at her wrists then caressing them feeling the horizontal scars, still puffy from being freshly healed. Ashley quickly walked over to her hamper and pulled out the freshest smelling jeans and her favorite sweatshirt worn out in areas with holes from years of use, she then threw her hair in a messy bun and drove to Beacon Heights High School. Ashley as she walked in noticed the body language of her peers as she walked by feeling their oozing disgust and judging eyes. Ashley then made notice of a girl who had just recently moved to Beacon Heights and had risen to a level of popularity many students who had lived here all their lives couldn’t even achieve. Ashley believed they key to her rise in popularity would be in becoming this captivating girl named Julie. Ashley then made an appointment to get her hair done just like Julie’s and then began to note every detail about her, such as her mannerisms. Ashley then built up a wardrobe fit for Julie, one step closer to becoming more Julie like. Ashley became fixated and followed Julie to secure her new persona.

The theme I chose for The Magnificent Twelve is about bravery. People have many fears in life and we eventually need to overcome those fears by having and showing bravery. The main character, Mack, has many fears. For example, one of Mack’s many fears is Acrophobia, which is a fear of heights. Mack overcame this fear because when he found out that he was a part of a group called the Magnificent Twelve, he had to meet up with the other members in Australia. Since he lived in California, he had to take a plane to Australia. He also has a fear of having fears, which he calls, Phobophobia. This fear does not help him at all. Another example of one of Mack’s fears is Arachnophobia, which is the fear of spiders. He had to face his fear by killing a big spider in the corner of his room. He was still scared to do it, but he killed it instead of running away and screaming like a little girl. A their example of Mack’s many fears is Hydrophobia, which is a fear of water. He had to forcefully overcome that fear because on the way to Australia, the plane that he was on crashed and Mack had to dive into the water until a boat came and got him. But even though he has many fears, he eventually overcomes them throughout the book. Everybody has a fear of something, but they shouldn’t let that hold them back from trying new things. Instead, they can conquer their fear or fears and show bravery.

Louie Zamperini, an amazing runner and very brave character would like many songs. When he was young he was mischievous and terribly behaved, but late in his life he became a good disciple of Christ. When Louie was in the prison camps or later in his life, a stage of depression and drinking the song You Only Get What You Give would be good for him. The song is trying to say you can’t just give up and there is more to life than just giving up. This is a good song for him because his wife and child couldn’t even inspire him to stop drinking, Louie had given up. The next song that I’d recommend to Louie is Oceans (Where Feet May Fail). When Louie is in captivity or fighting in the military this song can give him hope when others have doubt or little faith. Throughout his life Louie struggled and had so many trials, but this song is an answer he had been needing to hear almost his whole life. The next song I would show to Louie is I’m Not Alone. Sometimes Louie felt lonely and this song talks about how God is in the calamity and trials with you because he is compassionate. I would also show Louie the song With All I Am when he is on the raft adrift at the merciless sea. When he is on the raft, stranded, Louie promises that he will dedicate his life to God and this song can help him remember. The last song I would recommend to him is Good Good Father because throughout his life God shows how merciful and good he his. These are some songs for such a interesting character like Louie.

We started off as strangers
then soon became friends
you told me you loved me
though I didn't feel the same
soon after you said it started as a game
but soon became the truth
but I don't know what made me love you too
you're the first one I think of when I wake up
and last one I think of before I go to sleep
I love you so much I wish you never had to leave
everything, our late night talks, dumb jokes
awkward moments and all the laughter
just makes me fall in love with you more
you give me butterflies when you say the sweetest things.
but when you act like the one I didn't fall in love with
it makes me wonder if we were really meant to be

There are good and inspiring movies out there. One movie that I would recommend to Robert is The Greatest Showman. I would recommend this movie to him because P.T. Barnem recruits the different and unique people for his show. They learn that it’s not bad to be different. They learn not to be ashamed or embarrassed of themselves. The unique people refuse to let others define them by how they look. Robert could learn from this by not listening to what people define him by. God made him that way for a reason. Another movie is Wonder. In Wonder a kid named Auggie is different like Robert. Auggie has his friends and family by his side to support him. Auggie always thought of himself as ugly like Robert did but, they both learn to overcome that. Auggie feels bad about himself and lets his feelings be cut until his friends and family help him. Robert like Auggie may have disabilities but they are both strong. The last movie I would recommend is The Blind Side. Michael Oher had faced some bad experiences in his life. He was a homeless teenager, his mother was a drug addict, he didn’t know who his father was, and he had poor education. Then a Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy took him in. They paid for a tutor to help Michael and during high school he played football. Even though all these bad things happened to him he was grateful that he now had a family who cared. Robert was not ungrateful, even though he was born unique. He was grateful that his mother took him home. He had a pretty large amount of operations but he was happy about what the doctors did. Robert went through tough times but he always had someone their to help.

The main theme in this book Not A Fan shows you how not just to be a fan of Jesus but to follow him. What the author Chris Idleman explains is we have to have a deep relationship with him. It is like our best friends. Do we have a relationship with them? We need to have the same relationship we have with Jesus as we do with our friends. Chris idleman teaches at the fifth biggest church in the United States. Another major theme in this book is do we really know Jesus? He used an example by saying who is your favorite athelete? Do you really know personally your favorite athlete? Do we really personally know who Jesus is? Chris Idleman was telling us we need to have a personal relationship with Jesus and not just to know him. God wants us to have contact with him, and to have a personal relationship with him. The book Not a Fan is a really good book to help you with your struggles in life and tells you how to overcome them too. There is a difference with being a fan of Jesus and to be a follower of Jesus. To be a fan of Jesus is to know about him and not know him personally. To be a follower of Jesus means to have a personal relationship with him just like your friends. Chris Idleman explains this very well in depth. Jesus came down from heaven so we can be saved.

There are many books to choose for Rachel because she loves reading and writing. One book I would recommend is Anne Frank because Rachel loves to write diary entries just like Anne Frank. Both Anne Frank and Rachel like to observe what is happening around them and they both write secrets of what is happening in their life. Another book I would recommend is Wonder. I would recommend Wonder because both Rachel and Auggie were bullied but, Rachel was not bullied as bad as Rachel. If Rachel read the book she could realize how blessed she is compared to Auggie. Also, another book I would recommend to her is The Pioneer Woman book. The Pioneer Woman book has some of my favorite recipes and it could help her win the bake sale competition. Another book I would recommend is Christian Holiday's Goal Guide book. I would recommend this book to Rachel because she could write down all the baking achievements she wants to make in the future. I also would recommend this book because she can set a goal for how much money she needs to make to visit her dad and for her grades at school. The last book I would recommend to Rachel is Harry Potter. I would recommend Harry Potter because I think almost anyone can enjoy that book and because it has a great story. Even though Harry's parents did pass away, she can relate because her dad left her family and she has a hard time with that like Harry. I think Rachel would be able to publish her own book with everything she has journaled about.
