I decided to stop reading the Outsiders, and started reading The Son of Neptune. The main charachters name is Percy Jackson. Percy isn't like your normal 17 year old. He is the son of a Greek god namked Posidan. He has lost him memory and cant remember anything except for one girl named Annabeth. Percy's dad is Greek but some how he ends up at the Romans camp. When he first arrives there he is forced to carry a goddes named Juno.

Percy is very confused about what is going on he thinks everything is very simalar to his old like but he just can't remember anything about his life. Percy is getting shown around the camp by a girl named Hazel. There are ghosts that just kind of float around. They are calling Percy  "graecus" which is the Latin term for Greek. Percy is being shown around camp by a girl named Hazel. This is all I know about the book so far.

I just started the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton. this book is about a 14 yearold boy named ponyboy. Ponyboy has two brothers named Sodapop and Darry. They are part off the social class called the greasers. The greasers are always fighting with the socs, the other poeple from the outerside of town. The socs were the people that had more money and better and nicer things than the greasers.
Right as the book begins ponyboy is at the movies alone than he walks home. When he walks home he notices a car that is following him. He starts to walk fasteer and faster and looks for a stick to defend himself. The socs came up to him and said" Need a haircut, greaser?"(Hinton 5) Right as they start to hold him down he yelles for his brothers than bits ine of the socs and draws blood. Soon his brother comes and gets him before they can do any damange.

I just finished my book I am a SEAL Team Six Warrior. I though that it was a very good book. At the end on the book Howard Wasdin the main person in the book. He went over to Somalia in 1992. He was in the Navy SEALs as a sniper. When he was there he was in a hideout looking for the local militia but, while he was there he keep smelling something funny so him and his team did a raid on a house and found a kid that had steeped on a land mine at school and had his leg blown off. So Howard and his team went  over there to help the kid by giving him medicine so the infection would go away. He later said in the book that his greatest success in Somalia was helping the kid rather than the mission on why they were there.
The U.S military was there to catch a Somalian war lord and help stop the civil war. All of the Marines, Delta , Rangers and the few SEALs were out on the raid to catch the war lord. During to raid two of the Amreicans helicopters were shot down and then sent out a large rescue party to get them. During this time Howard was shot 3 times and the leg and has to undergo a few sergies so he could keep his leg. He now works as a ciroprater.

In my book I Am A SEAL Team Six Warrior the best thing is the description that the author goes into when he is describing the setting. It helps you paint a picture of the setting in your mind. "Light brown and white sand bordered the emerald sea. It would've been the prefect setting for a vacation resort." (90) This quote helps you paint a picture of where they are station  in Somalia. This is really the only place in the city that had not been torn apart by civil war. "Because of the tannic acid from the pine and other vegetation, both the Little Satilla and Lake Grace are so black on a good day you can't see your feet in the water" (11) This is a great describing quote because you can just picture not being able to see you feet on a good day.

The book I am reading right now is I Am A SEAL Team Six Warrior. I chose this book because when I saw the cover of the book i looked very interting. The point I am in the book is the main charchter Howard Wasdin going through traning to become a Navy SEAL. After having a childhood of being beaten by his step-father he was prepared for this experince. When every one was droping out of the course he was wandering why they were and was calling them sissys.

I would recommend Friday Night Lights  to someone who likes to read books about sports and really football. This book also has history to it because it is a true story from a team in Texas. They also made a movie and a T.V. series.

Reflective Blog

One thing I struggled with was I didn't read my book enough at the beging of the school year. I over came this by reading my book more at home. One strenght I had was I could always find somthing to say about the book when i was bloging.

This blog meets the rubic expetions for charaters because it goes in depth on one main character in the book. It also explains on how he changed through the book and he changed for the better. In the quotes i pulled out it will tell you how he changed during the book.

Some goals I have for next trimester are finish more than one book. Some goals I have for writing are to have better grammar and work on my spelling. I want to end the trimester with an A all tri's. The areas of improvement I want is grammar and spelling.
