Young Elliot and his younger sister Wendy are traveling with there Mom and Dad through the mountains on a vacation and are bored in the car and bugging one and other. Wendy and Elliot ask there parents if they could ride in the trailer instead of the car were they are making mom and dad mad from fighting so much. The parents don’t think there would be ant harm in letting them ride in the for a while so decide to stop and put let them go in there. Once everyone was in there spots sitting down they started to leave and while they were going up a hill in the mountains the trailer came unhooked and started going down the hill instead of up. On the way down the trailer wasn’t stopping and ended up going down through a bunch of trees in the forest and nearly hit some big ones that would have destroyed the camper but just missed.

A little after once everything came to a complete stop the two kids Elliot and Wendy got up and looked out side and came to find a camp councilor standing out side. The kids went with the councilor
to the camp he was at for the summer and found it to be a sports camp.

Everyone that new Elliot new he was a sports freak and played as hard as he could to win and hated to lose. Mostly his sister new this because they argued and competed against each other all the time.

the main thing in the camp was a king coin you would get them after you win one of your sport events. Once you got six king coins you would do the winners walk at the end of the day. After Elliot and Wendy made a bunch of friends some of their friends has almost got six of the king coins and once they did they went and did the walk but Wendy found that they never came back they disappeared. Wendy started to tell people about this but no one would believe her and the councilors kept telling her that they went home.

Wendy started snooping around trying to figure this out. One night during the winners walk Wendy followed them. A found at the end there was a big monster that stunk really bad and figured it out to be The King Jellyjam him self. After Wendy saw this she went and got a great bunch of people and showed them and after that everyone believed her and they started the building on fire and police and other rescue teams from a town near by came and saw this and ended up closing the camp and sending all the kids back home to their families and everything was fine after that. All thanks to Wendy everyone was saved from this monster. King Jellyjam was never seen again after the fire.

I can relate to this a bit because I’m like Elliot love my sports and I try as hared as I can to do my best and never give up.

The Year of the Flood is the second of a series of books created by Margret Atwood. The main premise is that in the new future, human begins have been wiped out by a pill distributed worldwide by HelthWyzr (a sort of world health organization that seeks to profit rather than serve) that supposedly increases sexual drive and performance. The pills contained a virus, which, after a certain amount of time lying dormant, simultaneously activated across the globe, killing nearly everyone. It didn’t exactly help that once the virus was released, it became airborne and killed people whether or not they had taken the pill in the first place.

So, everyone is dead EXCEPT the two characters the story is centered on: Toby and Ren, who survived due to luck and misfortune that turned out to be fortune. The story is told through a variety of flashbacks from the two women and tells us how they ended up where we see them at the start of the book, and even dates back all the way to their childhood. Their world is ours and not ours, combining the familiar and alien aspects of a world being overcome by poverty and global warming with that of bizarre genetic splices and plastic surgeries. In short, the human race was deteriorating long before the metaphorical Flood responsible for annihilating human begins. It is because of this that the Flood took place… one man felt it was his responsibility to change the world for what he believed would be for the best. As a rich and sophisticated genius, he had both the money and the intellect to fulfill his dark dream, utilizing the health supergiant HelthWyzer as his distribution agent.

Toby and Ren represent a profoundly human experience as they are tossed like driftwood through the Flood in a world they have no control over. It is a cathartic experience that really made me think. The world of Toby and Ren seems like one we could be headed towards… and perhaps it is not far off either. It is true extinguishing what we would call the “traditional” human begins would solve most of the world’s problems, but part of Crake’s (the mastermind behind the virus) plan was to replace human begins with what he believed to be a superior race of begins of his own creation. These creatures (know as “Crakers” to the main characters) are superior in some aspects, to be sure, but these advantages are purely physical. They are described as the most beautiful people imaginable, and while they are of different ethnicities, they all possess the same green eyes (a factor explained in the previous book, Oryx and Crake). They also have superior immune and digestive systems. For example, they are strictly vegetarians, and possess remarkable healing capabilities as well as no need to possess clothing. As you can probably guess, they are indeed genetically altered. But not all traits they have are positive ones. The Craker’s mentality is much different than yours and mine. What was perceived by Crake to be negative human traits are in fact the ones that affect our individualities as human begins. Crakers have no sense or knowledge of humour, love, anger, and any other emotions that can stem from these. Crake’s reasoning was that these emotions can lead to disagreements, which in turn turns to conflict, which in evidently takes us back to the state the world was in before the Flood.

So the question is… is removing the human spirit something that is a positive turn for humanity… or are we better off the way we are now? I don’t think I can answer this unless I lived in the environment described in the book… But even with 99.9% of the human race gone… there is still the 0.1% left who may be able to change things… and after all, the Crakers do possess the ability to learn. It will be interesting to see how thing will finally pan out in the next book.

Playing with fire was written by Theo Fleury with Kristie McLellan Day. Theo had a tough life at home, his dad was an alcoholic while his mother was addicted to drugs. Fleury as a child would go to hockey practice and have a blast. The worst part was always waiting for his dad at the end of the night to realize he was drunk and wasn’t coming. It it wasn’t for the hockey families in Russell The

o would have never even began in hockey. Theo’s problems all began at a hockey camp in Brandon where Graham James, a sexual predator, got ahold of Theo. James could spot a troubled kid a mile away. Sheldon Kennedy was another victim of James who has also wrote a book about his personal life.

Fleury talks about his life in the WHL and how much partying he actually did. Every night after practices and games Theo got absolutely wasted and coked out on cocaine. He would party early into the morning most nights. Even with all the partying and drugs Theo was a force to be reckoned with. He was one of the smallest players but had unreal intensity and pissed off anybody who came near him.

Theo started his NHL career with the Calgary Flames and had an amazing time there. He enjoyed the coaching staff, the team, and everything about Calgary. In Theo’s rookie year the Flames won the stanley cup and he was on top of the world. The Flames manager had a lot of pressure on him to make his team younger and faster. He traded almost every talented player the Flames had except for Theo. Lots of the team was upset and couldn’t believe some of the trades, especially Fleury.

Fleury has played with many teams and had quite the career. He scored 455 goals and 1,088 points in the NHL regular season playing for the Flames, Colorado Avalanche, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks. Theo’s biggest mistake was when he took the Chicago Blackhawks huge offer. Theo got even worse into the drugs and couldn’t function without them. His body was hurting. Theo became a disgrace to the league and was suspended multiple times for the use of drugs and alcohol. While in the NHL Theo’s therapy didn’t help him at all, it just made him want it more.

Theo’s lowest point in life was after his hockey career when he almost committed suicide. He bought a gun, a single bullet and contemplated pulling the trigger while sitting in his living room. Something went through his mind that made him stop and realize he has to much to live for. Theo threw the gun out and doesn’t regret it at all.

I give Theo so much credit for writing this book. It takes alot of balls to admit all the wrongs that he has done. Theo was sexually assaulted as a child and kept it a secret to keep his hockey career alive. Theo is a little cocky in this book and doesn’t care what people think. I personally enjoyed this book alot and would recommend it to anybody who wants to read an good biography.

The focus Question that I am using is: What is right and Wrong? What is the purpose of the law? When are laws fair? What might cause an individual to ignore the law? While I was reading this amazing book, I noticed that this song has to do with the law so that’s why I picked the question. In the book, there is this boy named Stanley Yelnats who was a young boy going to school and one day, he was walking under an underpass when a pair of shoes came falling from the sky. The shoes landed right on Stanley and he wondered where they came from. While he was looking at the shoes, he heard sirens from a distance and noticed they were getting louder and then saw a cop car stop him. Later on in the story, he had been guilty for stealing the shoes and was sent to Camp Green Lake. At the lake was like a boot camp and at the camp there were kids that had done criminal crimes. While he was there, the boys there picked on him for a few days, maybe even about a week.

The thing that was right is that while Stanley was at the court, he told the Judge that he never stole the shoes and he told the truth. The thing that was wrong is that while he was at the camp, he was being bullied and he was fighting back to defend himself. The purpose of the law for Stanley was to not steal and to never to any criminal crimes that will cause you to go to jail. To me, I don’t thing that some laws are fair at all. The only time when the law s fair is when a murder happens and they need to do investigations to find the murderer. The only time when an individual would ignore the law is when they are doing something really dumb thats causes lives in danger and there own lives in danger.

While Stanley was at the lake, he eventually became friends with the boys that were picking on him and they were giving him a nickname since everyone else had a nickname. After he had been at the camp for a while, and his blisters on his hand had gone away, Stanley had been a good kid but Mr.Sir, the camp leader, wasn’t to pleased with Stanley. After being there for a while, he was still being a good kid but the boys didn’t like him when him and a boy named Zero helped him dig his hole if Stanley helped Zero learn how to read. Thats as far as I got and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the book.

On a small island there lived a 12 year old boy named Phillip. Whether it be running to the dock or leaping around the town Phillip was always having fun. Although there was something that came upon this family. A war was started and there was an army heading toward the town that Phillip and his family had lived. The mother had the idea of abandoning the town to seak out safe lands in america, but this did not go well with the father. After arguing the decision was made that Phillip and his mother would take a ship to new lands for safety while the father had to stay and work. Traveling through these waters by ship was dangerous, due to a risk of submarines shooting the ship down. Phillip and his mother took the chance.

Three days had passed by and the town of Curacao where they had lived and abandoned was now attacked. Shortly after the ship they were on had also been shot. Chaos circled the passengers and put everyone into panic mode. Luckily the passengers had practiced how to handle these situations previous to being shot at. Within a few minutes the ship was hit again this time beginning to sink.

Phillip opened his eyes and woke up to a black man, a cat, and a endless sea of water. Phillip had hit his head while the ship sank, luckily the black man named Timothy had taken Phillip aboard the raft. Unfortunately Phillip has been seperated from his mother. Phillip has no idea where his mother could be or if she was even alright. On top of that he is stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

Hours had passed on the raft and Phillip was dying for a drink of water. Timothy pulled out the keg of water, only pouring Phillip a few drops. Chuckling Phillip thought Tim was joking, but young Phillip did not realize that they may be stranded for months. Timothy explained to the boy that you must only drink enough to wet your mouth, just in case the two are not found for a long time. Conserving their supplies is crutial for survival in the open waters. Open waters surround the raft meaning they would have to spend quite some time afloat their life support.

“The Cay” is a book of adventure, one must learn to rely on another. Color of skin does not mean they are dumb, or weird, or slow, but instead we must learn everyone is simply human. One particular thing I really enjoy in this book is the text. When the black man talks you can tell his accent by simply reading. Timothy says,”Do not be alarm now, young bahss. I am goin’ to jump into d’wattah an’ kick dis raff to d’shore.” Dialogue like this makes a book that much better. It describes who the man is and personality. Theodore Taylor is a very thoughtfull author.

After having a difficult time emotionally and physically recovering from the fire of his home, it is decided that 16 year old Jamie is to stay with his Aunt Jane and daughter Allison. He leaves his busy life to laid-back living in the countryside, in a town called Crownhill. Jamie hopes that by leaving his home, all the troubles and emotions brought by the fire will be left there, too. The first night he goes to sleep he is remarkably surprised. He has a horrible dream about the fire and a witch who chases him, trying to get him. As every day turns to night, he keeps having these dreams and they get more and more intense each time. However as they continue, he doesn’t dare tell his Aunt Jane or her daughter, Allison, because he believes he may just be delusional.

As the days continue on, Jamie’s family plans to restore an old monument that is built on the hill overlooking the town. The monument is an image of a Crown, representing “Crownhill”, that is made of lines of chalk laid on the hill. It is not visible anymore though because it has been overgrown with weeds and bushes. Janes plan is to gather the entire village and get everyone involved to clean and restore the crown. However when they clean the “Crown,” they are quite surprised. What they find sets of anger in the village, confusion in the family, and clues in an unsolved case of a 16 year old “witch.”

The way Jamie felt about himself after the fire strongly affected his self-image. He felt worthless due to the fact that he didn’t save his sister when he easily could’ve. He also felt like he was “losing it” because these dreams were strongly affecting his everyday life. But instead of coming forward about his feelings and his dreams, he kept it inside. Jamie didn’t want anyone to know what was happening, he wanted to go on with his day and pretend like nothing was wrong. By not coming forward, Marcus Sedgewick was able to capture what happens when feelings and emotions build up inside. Because of Jamies actions, he couldn’t seem to pay attention to people around him and caught himself continuously wondering off in his thoughts. Most importantly however, his emotions kept building up and eventually he had a break down, something that can happen to many individuals.

While reading Witch Hill, I couldn’t help but be reminded of The Shack. Like Jamie, Mack continuously thought about Missy’s death and it seemed to be keeping his at a distant with the rest of his family. Mack also blamed himself everyday for not being able to save his daughter. Like Jamie and Mack, many humans have had a situation where we blame ourselves for specific situations. The hardest thing for us to realize is that eventually the guilt will go away. Down every dark tunnel there is a light, just like at the end of this book and in The Shack

The focus question that I am using is; What is right? What is admirable? What is not-so-admirable? Does everyone agree? Throughout the history of sports there has always been young stars arise to become champions. In hockey there has been many young men trying to become the next “one.” It all started in 1966 with an young boy named Bobby Orr. He played in the NHL for over thirteen years. He was a dominate defense men who ruled over everyone on the ice. He was one of the toughest players out there with having over a dozen knee surgeries. He was a very admirable person and ended his NHL career with 953 points.

The next “one” on the list was a boy from Brantford, Ontario. His name was Wayne Gretzky. Wayne’s father Walter was one of the most persistent coaches anyone could have. Every time Wayne and his younger brothers had free time Walter made them skate, and do drills, and practice their shot. Walter had built his own backyard rink for the boys to practice on. Wayne was definitely the star out of his other siblings and everyone in the town knew that. Wayne played minor hockey in Brantford and most years he would play a age level ahead of him. Gretzky was so competitive and not in the gritty way. Wayne was a gentleman on the ice and rarely got into tussles. Gretzky kept gaining skill and zipped into professional hockey. The parents and crowd in Brantford were very critical of Wayne and his success but it didn’t seem to bother Wayne.

When Wayne entered the NHL he flourished like no other. Wayne lead the league in points and in his second year of the show he won a Stanley cup. Later in his career with the Oilers he won three more Stanley cups. He was unstoppable but after his last cup with Edmonton his dad had a talk with him. Walter told Wayne that the GM of the Oilers, Peter Pocklington was going to trade Gretzky. Wayne couldn’t believe the news. The greatest team in the league was going to lose the greatest player that had ever played. Pocklington needed money bad and knew Gretzky was worth a fortune. To me this isn’t right to screw over a team and a player that worked so hard and then get torn apart because of money.

Wayne was not happy to leave the city of champions. In his last interview before leaving he could barely spit out a word. Tears were flowing out of the grown mans eyes. Gretzky knew his time with the Oilers was done but it was hard for him to swallow. Luckily for Wayne his wife lived in LA where Wayne was going. Wayne’s wife was Janet Jones, who was an actress/ entertainer in Hollywood. The media saw Janet as a thief, and that she took Wayne away from Edmonton but that wasn’t the case. Because of Pocklingtons greed and his unprofessional, not-so-admirable way of using his money Gretzky had to leave.

In LA Gretzky played for the Kings. The Los Angeles Kings weren’t very popular and had competition with the Lakers for fans. The Laker fans were much greater than the Kings fans until Gretzky arrived. Wayne added just the ingredient to make the Kings exciting and talented. Some people think that Gretzky should have stayed in Edmonton and got rid of some other players. Others believe it was right to give him away and start a new job with a new organization. I think Wayne should have stayed and won five more cups with Edmonton.

Theo Fleury was an amazing hockey player. He began his career in Calgary and loved it there. He has a girlfriend and thought life was great. He won the Stanley Cup in his rookie season and wanted to play for Calgary the rest of his life. Then in that off season the General Manager traded most of the players from that Stanley cup winning team to try to become a younger team. Calgary has not won another Stanly cup to this day. Theo didn’t know what the General manager was doing and all of a sudden his awesome team has diminished to a few good players.

Theo has been traded a few times in his career, one of the biggest trades that Theo has been involved in was being traded to New York. New York offered him a huge contract and Theo said money changes people. Well money does change people and money changed Theo, he became a crackhead, he was not able to function without cocaine is his system. The league has suspended him for his cocaine use and drinking so much alcohol.

Theo has been suspended a few times in his career and the NHL has told him to clean his act up. In this book Theo talk about when he went out and partied that if they had a road game and he had a roommate that he told his roommate to pack his stuff and Theo would be there in time for the bus to leave. Theo was just getting back from the bar and just makes it in time for the bus. Theo thought since he was the person who was putting the puck in the net every night what could the NHL do. He was way wrong, they put him through drug and alcohol therapy to try to keep him from cocaine and drugs. That never work so the drug and alcohol therapy plus the NHL had four stages or discipline. Each stage got worse and worse. Theo managed to go through all four stages in his career before he retired. In fact he retired when he was in his fourth stage.

Theo moved on from hockey and actually almost committed suicide. One night he went to the pawn shop and grabbed a gun and the clerk gave him one bullet, Theo loaded the gun got back to his house sat on the couch for hours wondering if he had the balls to kill himself. Theo got to the point where the gun was loaded safety was off and the barrel in his outh and finger shaking like a leave on the trigger. Something just snapped into his head and he thought that this was retarded and decided not to kill him self. So Theo ran out into the dessert because he was living in a house out in the middle of the desert and threw the gun outside.

I like Theo as a person and I believe that this is a great book and I just wanna credit him for coming out with this story and I love how the book talked about all his highs and lows of his life. Its incredible of what he went through to become what he was. He was raped as a child and to let that go and just focus on hockey is incredible that his mind could do that. Theo is a good person I believe and has touched many peoples hearts and I hope if any other kid out there is being raped or has been to come forward just like Theo said. I don’t think people have gave Theo a chance, he has been told he couldn’t do anything since he was a child because he was to small well he was a really good player in the NHL and proved all of those peoples wrong. This is a really good book and I would recommend this to anyone to read it.
Theo was a part of the New York Rangers when he was making a large amount of money, and with all this money he became a alcoholic, drug addict and had a gambling problem. His identity was changes because he was an alcoholic and a drug addict so many people look at him differently and was called all sorts of names.

PUSH is an inspiring book, it is about a teen girl named Precious Jones who cannot read or write very well. Precious failed grade two when she was seven years old because she couldn’t read, she should be in grade eleven going into grade twelve, but she is only in grade nine. She had her first baby when she was twelve years old by her father, her mother beats and molests her. She manages to find a way to rise above her problems by meeting a teacher who is determined to help teach her how to read and write to make her life better and make her kids life better as well. Precious is an inspiration to teen girls all around the world. She went through so much it’s hard to believe she could live that way and get through it the way she did.

Precious did everything right in her life, and she couldn’t figure out why she had the life she did. She couldn’t understand why the things in her life happened, why she had two kids so young and couldn’t read or write. Precious would always talk about how she wanted to be light skinned, skinny, smart like all the girls in magazines. She was a kind hearted teenager who didn’t deserve anything that happened to her.

When Precious Jones is pregnant with her first baby, her mother knocked her out with a cooking pan and she had her baby on the kitchen floor. This baby was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome because it is her fathers baby. Her second baby was normal, but after she had her second baby she decided it was time for a change and ran away from home to go to this special school to learn how to read and write so she could teach her kids how to read and write also.

This novel is speaking for all the teens that are out there in Precious Jones’ position, girls and boys. Nobody should have to live that way, that is not the way anyone should be treated and not how life should be. This book has got me thinking of how lucky I am. I don’t want to take anything for granted anymore because I have an amazing life, friends and family.

For the first time in Precious Jones life she learned how to read and write. Write about her life and take control of it. Everyone should be in control of their own life and decisions. Precious didn’t decide to have her fathers babies but her mother always blamed her for “stealing” her husband. After Precious ran away her mother came looking for her to tell her her father had passed away from AIDS. Precious got tested and was positive for HIV, luckily her babies were both negative.

Precious was one of a kind, she loved both her kids as if they weren’t her fathers. She took care of them and did everything she could to balance school, work, and kids. If I were in her position I don’t know how I would get through something so tragic. She had so much strength and pulled through because she knew that she deserved to be happy and deserved to be treated right.

This book is brought to us by Steven D. Salinger. It is a classic action novel filled with fire fights, hand to hand combat ,and treks through hostile jungles. The story takes place in the jungles of vietnam and on the streets of Washington DC. In chinese restaurants to corporate buildings there are fire fights and rogue Vietnamese agents.

A young John Carpenter was captured in the vietnamese war and was presumed dead for twenty four years. Finally his salvation comes after saving the life of one of his own. This salvation turns into an armed conflict between the US and the vietnamese government. The hopes of John being reunited with his mother are high but very unrealistic.

What kept John Carpenter going through most of the book was the thought of seeing home and his mother again. With the drive and determination to stay alive he survived in the jungles of Vietnam and the urban jungles of New York City. With an assassination on his back and the police at his heels John is forced to stay in hiding. No where to turn, No one to trust he survives only by his will to survive and his skills to kill.

The fear of death is what keeps most people moving during conflicts in their lives. Some have trained to harness this and use it to their advantage. Sometimes it is fear of death which keeps us going in our darkest ours. Without this fear we as people would not feel alive. A good scare or fear of something keeps us grounded as people. If we can stay grounded then we wont get to ahead of our selves and this might save us from a self induced death.

I would recommend this book to more of my friends that are guys than those of the girls. The constant gun fire and and fist fights makes this novel very exciting. This book keeps the readers interest all the way through.
This novel was well written with small chapters and four sections to the story plot. Readers with a low level of skill could read this book due to the simple sentence structure.

It’s 1913, a young girl is found on a ship in Australia. No one knows who she is or why she was on the ship in the first place. A family adopts her and flourishes with a child. They name her Nell and keep her as their own.

When Nell turns 21 her dad tells her about the not-so-legal adoption and that he knows nothing of her birth parents. Her whole world falls apart. Nell doesn’t even know who she is anymore, she doesn’t feel like she’s still Nell.

Even though Nell’s sisters and dad see her the same, she cannot go back to who she was. Her sisters never even knew she was adopted. They’d looked up to her their whole lives and did not understand why she all of a sudden turned into a different person. Or rather, a shell of who she once was. Nell thinks of herself as anonymous while her adoptive family still sees her as they always have, their Nell.

The Forgotten Garden focuses on two womens’ search for their own  identity. Nell tries to find her lineage and the reason she was shipped to Australia as a girl. She finds her birth parents but that’s about it. Nell’s granddaughter, Cassandra searches for herself while trying to solve the mystery of Nell’s past. She finds Nell’s home before being sent away.

This book is so captivating. It takes you through London in the 1900s and present day. There are fairytales and flashbacks hidden within the pages. I don’t want to stop reading The Forgotten Garden but then again I don’t want it to end.

Imagine being 13 years old have your parents divorce and the reason being you, this can be said about a young man named Brian Robertson. Brain Robertson Is a strong willed person that doesn’t care about what other people think, if he thinks that something should be done for the better good of himself and the others around him to make every situation go from bad to good. The book that I am reading is called Hatchet, Hatchet is a book written by Gary Paulsen and is about the thirteen year old boy I described earlier. The surviving on his own with nothing but a “Hatchet” that his mother gave to him just before he left from the Big Apple, New York CIty, and the morning of his parents’ divorce. Leaving for his fathers place in Canada his mother gives him a little hatchet to keep memory of her while she will be left in New York with no one but herself. There he goes off to his fathers place in Canada and as he is flying above the wilderness he is thinking to himself why did this happen to my parents and was always thinking that it was his fault.

Just as they are arriving to Canada the pilot is in a lot of pain. The pilot was in to be in some sort of chest pain knowing what chest pains can lead to heart attacks and that is what exactly happened to the pilot. If I were ever in a plane and then all of a sudden the pilot has a heat attack and dies I would have probably done exactly what Brian Roberson did, he first tried to save his life and then think about his own. If then he could have saved the pilots life then he could get the plane steady and then save both of their lives. This again is what makes Brian such a good person is why he thinks about other people before himself and that was a prime example.

As the plane is about to crash Brian is doing all he can to save himself and the pilot. The plane is not spinning out of control or anything but he knows that if he does not act fast he and the pilot will be in a lot of trouble. So he sees that there is a microphone and a radio and will try to call for help but as he is trying to he makes that plane fly off course and is about to hit the ground and they will be stranded and will have no idea what they will be in for. As the plane is crash landing Brain tries his best to land it he thinks that the best place to land is on water. While crashing the hit a tree and Brain hits his head in the steering wheel he survives but the pilot does not.

After the crash brian was dazed and confused. He was falling in and out of sleep not know if he was dead or alive, but keep having these dreams about his parents splitting up and in one of those dreams the ‘Truth” is reviled. The truth is that his mother was cheating on his father with another man, a man that turned his world upside down. Then while going and coming in and out of sleep he get sun burnt badly and drinks too much water and then gets sick. After he knows that he has to survive and that he needs to make camp and a fire.

When he builds a camp and a fire gathers enough food to keep him alive he knows that he misses his mother and father being together. He does find some turtle eggs and that will keep him from starving for a little while. While going to get more food Brian is struck by a moose and his hurt very badly. After that he think that going back to the plane to get a survival pack he thinks it is in the plane. There is there is a wealth of survival items in the plane. What if you were alone in the wilderness by yourself what would you do? I think I would do what Brain Robertson did, learn new skills and try to keep yourself alive as long as you can.

Erik Prince multi-millionaire and right-wing christian republican running one of the world’s largest mercenaries army in Iraq and Afghanistan along with Prince’s company is an overwhelming rise of privatized warfare an issue that was under my radar until I discovered Blackwater. Jeremy Scahill investigates deeper into the rise and continual thrive of Blackwater only that hardly any of the information is his own. Blackwater is more of an encyclopedia source for information on Blackwater, it would be much better suited if it was a huge left-wing democratic Wikipedia page with links that brought you write to the article in its entirety. This information has been available in the media for years why it was under most people’s radar is a mystery. When reading this book it did offer concessions of both sides but Jeremy mainly pointed out the details of Blackwater’s weaknesses like bloody Sunday and other civilian casualties at the hand of Blackwater Mercenaries.

Blackwater is not the only type of military forces that have mistreated Iraq’s citizens, right here in Canada there is continual debate about the torture of Afghan detainees stemming back all the way to 2005 under the Paul Martin Liberal government. I still remember very vividly the United States armies mistreatment of war prisoners, all the pictures scattered over the Internet of prisoners stripped and thrown into a pile of other naked prisoners. Mistreatment of prisoners and civilians is not all the private warfare mercenaries fault many national defense armies mistreat the detainees, prisoners, and civilians with little capital punishment and accountability which should be far more shocking than private warfare scandals.

Blackwater exposes the workings of the corporate company Blackwater USA but in the movie Shadow Company it focuses on the complete documentation on private military contractors and exposes not just these private companies but the evolution of how small private military firms like Blackwater turned into multi-million dollar corporations. Shadow Company also follows British contractors on a very personal level. When I was watching the film I got a real sense that these contractors only take up the role because they have left the military and have no other skills to use so they use this for a quick buck. I had a real shiver when watching the film when for no reason the contractors open fired on civilian vehicles while driving in an armored vehicle simply just because they could. The mercenaries know that they are not subject to any law and with the increase of private companies the Middle East is starting to look more like a classic cowboy paradise with no laws, accountability, just guns and cash.

A mercenary is a contractor that does not fight for a country, does not fight for a purpose, but collects the dollar when the fighting is all said and done. I am all for private enterprising but there has to be limits upon which corporations can act. If corporations specifically Blackwater do not stand by societal ethics and natural laws of society then we need to look at the mercenaries themselves and teach them a lesson in natural law. If the Blackwater contractors have any sense of natural law they would uphold to the values of human life while still continuing the pursuit of wealth. I have the right to pursue wealth in any way that I can and I have no problem with private warfare companies doing the same. Where there is a demand these companies bring in the supply and there is a market made for private security. Let the forces of supply and demand do their work but let the supply be subject to natural law and the accountability for their actions when they are not just in all places and at all times.

Blackwater is a great book of sources but the author was very one-sided in his approach. I had a difficult time in trying to find fair balanced quotations and sources. The reporting in the book that was done by Jeremy himself the information was based on pure opinion and it was hard to differentiate what was fact and opinion even with the cited sources. During one point of the book it really began to feel like Jeremy was started to cite his opinion and discontent about the war, “The Iraq war is bad and as such, everything associated with that war is bad too,” that is not journalism that is pure opinion. Sections of this book really started to make me doubt the sources and the context in which the sources were used but I was able to get past that. Blackwater is an informative read, it is filled with exposure to the private warfare world and the huge Blackwater war machine mercenary army that is gaining more political power with the intensity of the war on terrorism. With the plan for Iraqi troop pullout in sight it is important to give Blackwater a lot of attention and a read to fully understand the history of the war on terror and the continual thrive of the private warfare industry and the effect it will have on in the future of war.

Nikki Sixx was born on December 11, 1958 in San Jose, California. Nikki only had his mother and his grandparents there to raise him because his father had left him at a young age. Nikki never really lived a good life. In his early life Nikki broke into neighbors’ homes, shoplifted and he got expelled from school because he was selling drugs. When Nikki was 16 he had already started playing the bass guitar. By the time he was 17 he had already left his home, moved to Los Angeles, starting working in liquor stores and started auditioning for different bands. Even though Nikki lived on his own at the age of 17 he wanted to pursue his dream of becoming a rockstar. He was able to play the bass guitar at a professional level and really put his emotions and feelings into writing his music. In 1981, Sixx founded Mötley Crüe, and ever since he was in the band his life completely went to hell and the life he was living helped him write the book called, The Heroin Diaries.

Having a good time, hanging out with friends and family, and fulfilling personal dreams sounds like a good life. Everyone has a different perspective on what is a good life. Someone might say that living a very dark and hellish life might be the best way to live. Nikki Sixx really lived a life full of demons and was always trapped in hell. Nikki was addicted to acid, cocaine, alcohol, and the hardest drug heroin. These addictions really changed how he lived, his emotions, his song writing and his personality. The good life for Nikki was sitting in his dark room shooting up heroin, talking to his demons, playing in his band, and writing in his diary. Everyday when Nikki did cocaine he always became an crazy animal and he had to resolve to heroin because it would calm him down. Even though Nikki was a rockstar and living the life of any musician, his “good life” wasn’t so good after all. Actions speak louder then words, and his actions showed the best life for him was through his addictions.

Besides being a great bass guitarist Nikki was one of the best at writing his music. He was always making catchy songs that caught everyone’s attention and made them want to hear more. Its weird because Nikki wrote the best music when he was all drugged up. When Nikki wasn’t high he couldn’t write songs because he was so used to writing his music when he was high. I’m not saying that drugs are good but imagine what his music would have been if he was never addicted to drugs. On drugs Nikki always wrote about his feelings and what was going on when he was hiding in his room. He used these feelings and writings to help him create his magnificent music. Music was his life and Nikki put everything towards is music even when he was fighting his addictions.

This book is a real life story on how someones life as a rockstar isn’t always a good life to live. Most of us don’t even realize what really happens when huge bands like Motley Crue are created. Lots of the time we just listen to their music and become huge fans of them when there is actually even more to revel backstage. If anyone has read this book they will realize its more sex and drugs then rock and roll. The band members are always partying really hard, shooting up drugs, and when their at home its complete hell. When Nikki went to rehab and starting becoming sober he said his life was more alive. He was never feeling sick, he was able to go out riding his Harley, and he got to enjoy his life a lot more. Once Nikki was sober his career went higher and higher in fame.

I would recommend reading The Heroin Diaries because its a real life lesson. It shows that when someone is famous they don’t always live a good life. The book also shows how much drugs and alcohol can really destroy someones life. When I read this book it really should me how horrible Nikki Sixx’s life was. He was always sitting in his room shooting up his drugs and when he decided to write his diaries it showed that he wanted this book to changed peoples ideas about drugs. Nikki wrote this book to show others around the world how much pain and suffering he went through while pursuing his dream.

One day being of average teenage girl and having to deal with the stress of boys and school work to the next day having to deal with the crave of blood and having the ability to control the four elements of the world, air, wind, land and water. What sixteen year old girl is able to handle this drastic change? In the series Marked, P.C Cast strongly examines the role, responsibility and the relationship between humans and vampires.

Zoey Redbird has had a 360 turn around in her life, from going from a girl that just was trying to pass school and staying out of the spotlight, trying not to cause any trouble, to being one of the most powerful vampires of them all. Having being everyone’s role model and making every decision with caution. Zoey Redbird was gifted with ability to control all four elements wind, air, water and land. Having this gift means she can call any four elements any time no matter where she is and what she is doing. Her role as a vampire is to protect and help out with the greater good of every vampires interest in mind. She is the leader and with that role she must serve and protect her fellow vampires. P.C Cast wrote the book not just for the pleasure and imagination for others to read but also to get a point across. Every teenager doesn’t matter if at the age of thirteen or nineteen, every individual has a role in life and that may be from being a mother to becoming a better citizen in the community. Every individual has a role and wether to carry out the role or not is their choice. I have been very gifted with the talent of judo, the aggression, the will to fight, it has been in bedded in me, it is who I am and with that gift I feel that it is my role to teach and inspire others to exceed their dream no matter what obstacles stand in their way. I have had several break downs telling myself I want to quit, having missed parties and fun advents with my friends or even the fact that I cant make weight but in the end I always able to climb out of the dark hole and find the path that I must take. My role in this society is to contribute and teach that hard work and determination will make individuals the best person they possibly can be.

I get so sick and tired of hearing that it is my responsibility to make sure I get honors in school just so that I can attend secondary school or even the fact that I got to make sure my sisters get to their practices and home when my parents are at work. If I was able to have the choice and decide what order we were born I would have chosen to be last. I totally and fully agree that the baby my sister Brette of the family is the most spoiled getting everything she wants and make sure that she is always taken care of. I couldn’t imagine the responsibility that Zoey has, knowing that she has so much power that she is able to destroy the world by just the saying of a couple words. I thought I had a hard, rough life with responsibility of working out, keeping up good grades and being able to maintain my social status. Compared to Zoey Redbird it doesn’t even hold a candle. Having that responsibility I would mentally break down, having to keep up with school, maintain having two boyfriends and another I have deep feelings for and on top of that having to deal with these great powers and keeping them under control. Responsibility has and will always take present in my life from being the older sister and physical fitness to being a mother and making sure the bills get payed.

Humans play a major role in the vampires life, before they could become a vampire they all had to be a human. They were just not born a vampire. Humans and vampires can have a really close relationship in which it is called imprinting in that they are able to feel and sense emotions what their other half is portraying. In order for them to have this ultimate interaction with each other, the vampire must suck the blood of the human. Zoey Redbird has gotten her self in quit a predicament in that she has a vampire boyfriend and has imprinted with her human boyfriend that she had when she was still human and then to top it all off she has deep feeling for another vampire boy. Girls would dream about having all of these boys wanting them, Zoey on the other hand just wants to be a normal girl with no special powers and only having one boy friend for that fact, so that she is able to stay faithful. There is positives and negatives about having all of these boys but personally I wouldn’t want all of these boys chasing after me or me even feeling so deeply for two other guys. I’m old fashioned in that I believe there is one guy out there for me and I will always be faithful to that one guy.

The series of Marked is very similar to the series of Twilight. I fell in love with the series of Twilight on how it was all about vampires and werewolves. After finishing the last book of Twilight I need something more to read and it definatley had to be something about vampires. My sister recommend me to read the Marked series and Im glad I did, it is using your imagination to a whole other level. I recommend to every other individual that enjoyed Twilight to read Marked.

In United We Stand by Eric Walters, it demonstrates human triumph in times of great sorrow. The book talks when the World Trade Center buildings collapses and about the peoples lives who have been altered. I dont think that life would ever be the same. It would just feel way to sureal, knowing that you were one of the lucky ones to get out of the collapsing buildings alive and knowing how many people that probably didn’t make it out. In times of great need we need someone to lean on. When I have faced hardships such as when my grandpa had passed away, I was fortunate to have a close family who seemed to pull together. My family and my friends are the most important aspects of my life.

In the Book Will Fullers freind James’ father is one of the fire fighters who went into the world trade center building after it had been struck by the plane and was structurally unsound. James father never made it back home and James feels that it is his responsibility to go down to ground zero and search for him. Will decides to go with James and help him even though Will knows that they probably wouldn’t find James’ father. If this isn’t true friendship then I do not know what is. Will knows that the chances of finding James’ father is slim to none. But Will decides to go with James anyhow to be their for moral support for James and I believe that, that is what being a good friend is all about. To be their for your friend when he needs you the most.

When my grandfather had passed away my entire family came together for each other. Without my family I probably wouldn’t have been able to snap out of my state of sadness and confusion. While growing up I really looked up to my grandpa and loved it when our family would come down to vermilion for the summer and stay at his house. Everyday I remember him and I would always have a couple games of crib. I remember my grandpa use to always say, “If you are going to do something, do it right or dont do it at all.” I try to live by this saying in everything I do in life by always giving my best effort in everything that I do. Whether it be school or a hockey game. My grandpa was my motivation in life to do well and when he passed away at first I didn’t know what I was going to do. But just talking and being with my family has helped make it easier to cope with.

Will Fuller and his father John escaped barely while trying to evacuate from the south World Trade Center tower. Will’s father was the fire warden for that floor and had to wait to evacuate everyone off his floor and directed them down the stairs and to head outside. He managed to get majority of the people on the floor to evacuate but not all of the people as some had refused and decided to keep working. The next day John and his son Will are talking about the events that had just occured the day before John believes that America will emerge from this catastrophic event, even stronger. I do not think that I would be so optimistic after such a catastrophic event, which had killed 2,976 people. I would proabbly be in a state of shock not knowing what had just happened. It would almost feel like a bad dream that I just couldn’t snap out of.

Family and friends are an important aspect in my life. When tragedy strikes they are always there to lean on when you have problems. In United We Stand by Eric Walters James is fortunate to have such a compeling friend as Will. Who went and ventured at ground zero to go and look for his father. Most people probably would have told James that it was suicide going down their to ground zero and that the chances of finding James father alive were slim to none. Finding friends like this is hard to come by. If I was will and one of my friends were like James and were in much need of help, I probably would have done the exact same thing that Will did. I would have tried to be there for my friend, just as Will was there for James, when he needed me.

L.A Candy is a book about reality, life changes, stardom, and adventures. Jane and Scarlet, originally from Santa Barbara, move to Los Angeles to pursue their own goals and dreams. Jane starts the job of an event planner for Fiona Chen. Scar begins to attend classes at USC. Life is begining to change for the two of them from the big move to L.A and the changing of their paths after high school. This is not enough change for them. After a stressful day for both of them they go to a club downtown. The girls are approached by Trevor Lord, a reality T.V producer. “No one moves here to be a nobody” is the influential peice the producer tells them, and they are sold. As the reality T.V show is filmed and broadcasted they experience many changes to their lives.

Lauren Conrad wrote a readable book. It definitely was better than what I expected. Though her writing was far from mature, it was flowing. It seems that Lauren did not have to dig too much for her ideas. She herself has lived the L.A life and knows what it is like filming her own reality T.V show, The Hills. It seems that her book was almost a biography of herself with different characters. She obviously wrote this book from a L.A lifestyle persepective. Conrad has seen the money, fame, and success that Hollywood stars behold and she is writing from a very biased point of view. Conrad presents this through an informal approach, and that can easily be seen by reading the first chapter. Her description on the characters Jane and Scarlet is minimal. It seems bizarre to me that her description of the environment they were in was stronger than the description of the characters. This is the first sign of a young writer. She was surrounded by the city of Hollywood while filming her reality T.V show, of course she has a strong idea of what it would be like. Of course writing a book is a success, but Conrad has much more to learn about writing a intelligent and intelect novel.

Im not absolutley sure what the theme or purpose of the book was. Was it to warn young teens about being consumed in a corrupt business? Or how great it is to experience the night life of L.A? I couldn’t quite figure out what Lauren Conrad was trying to convey to her readers. In the end it seemed to me that this reality T.V show was not the life that I would desire to live. Although fame and money is what most teens desire, it did not seem worth it to me when all was said and done. When I view everyday television shows the character the actor plays in the episode almost seems to become the description of the real actor . This also seemed to happen in L.A Candy. Although it was a reality T.V show the set ups that the producers made for the four girls became what all viewer seen them as regular everyday people.

“Sweet little lies” is the title of her next book in the series. I have no idea how she could possibly expand further on her life in L.A. I read about the lies, parties, clubs, and dates. These are the little things in life and after reading about them for 326 pages it began to get a little dull, not to mention reading another book. Reality T.V in this century is fictitious. After soaking up the words of Conrad I have learnt that reality television is never as it seems. The “actors” were bought a new apartment, given new occupations, and new friends all for the production of reality television. My new definition for reality has severely changed. Reality is no longer real, but set up. Who wants to marry my dad 1,2 3, Pussycat dolls present: Girlicious, and Hells Kitchen 1,2 3,4,5. There is no way possible that this is not set up. Who wants to marry my dad? You would have to be absolutely mad or paid to get on this show. Getting paid to have a relationship is not reality to me, or any other human on this earth. Sure it happens all the time but it is artificial. There is so much determination for stardom and money that teens, middle aged parents, even grandparents are willing to make many severe sacrifices to obtain this lifestyle and income.

“What is the good life” I question when I search within myself. The good life may be “reality” television. The good life may be massive amounts of income and stardom. The good life through my eyes is being genuinely happy with the relationships I possess, the education that I receive, and the happiness I place upon people surrounding me in my life. To have a happy life is to have changed the world in some way large or small in a positive way. Sure Lauren Conrad has the money, the mansion, and the star life. I don’t envy any of the characteristics that her life posseses. I am quite content with my humble and conserved life, when only I know my secrets and every day living. I have no aspiration to have television addicts watching my every move. If this were to happen to me I do not think I could be true to my character, my personality would be amiss.

After considering the message Conrad was trying to convey, the writing style, who the book was written for and what her story meant to me I have concurred that many more superior books are out there. There is no way that I will only read good books, there are bound to be some unintelligent reads. What I have figured is that every book has a message, a lesson, or a thought that I can ponder on. If its the writtings of William Shakespeare or of Lauren Conrad the superiority difference is catastropic but both authors have a purpose for writing for one reason or another.

Alot of people in the world are unique and distinctive; besides the people who attempt to be original and just end out to be annoying. But aside from that, in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya every main character seems to be very unique and distinctive in their own special way that contributes to the story plot. Even the back up characters seem to be unique and add on to the story and a few of them even surprise the reader of what they really were other than just a regular student.

Kyon; who just so happens to be the narrator and main male character of the story , used to believe in aliens, time travelers and espers, but then later in life he notices that they’ll probably never come to visit him, so he loses interest and becomes a regular guy who seems to be uninterested in anything. At the beginning of the series he enters high school anticipating a dull four years of study. But all that changes when he meets Haruhi Suzumiya, a quirky and headstrong classmate. On the first day of school when all the students are introducing themselves, Haruhi announces that she has ‘no interest in ordinary humans,’ and puts a call out to befriend ‘aliens, espers and time travelers.’ Naturally, everyone thinks she’s a bit of a kook, but that doesn’t stop Kyon from being fascinated and interested in what Haruhi’s thinking. But as Kyon later finds out, Haruhi’s impetuous ways and strong personality has also caught the attention of a few classmates who aren’t exactly “ordinary.” As he gets sucked deeper and deeper into Haruhi’s vortex of eccentricity, Kyon discovers that his classmate’s desire to discover aliens and psychic phenomena may have cosmic consequences.

“I have no interest in ordinary humans. If there are any aliens, time-travelers, or espers, come see me. That is all!” – Haruhi Suzimiya

To summarize Haruhi, she’s  a beautiful(or at least that’s what Kyon’s opinion is) first year high school student who is smart, athletic, and who won’t turn down any guy who asks her out; although they tend to be dumped in a short matter of time due  to her lack of interest in regular people. When she realizes that none of the clubs at school cater to her highly eccentric tastes, she drafts her classmate, and forms the “Suzumiya Haruhi’s Save our World by Overloading it with Fun Brigade”, which stands for the S.O.S. Brigade for short. Nobody quite knows what the club does other than to satisfy the whims of Haruhi, but it is becoming evident that there is more to Haruhi than it seems, and that there may be more truth to her delusional beliefs than reason would leave most to believe.

The students mentioned earlier that were not exactly of “ordinary standards”, which also seemed to be strong stereotypes in these types of books, were already part of the S.O.S. Brigade at the beginning of the series or has joined later on in later books and chapters. Yuki Nagato who is the silent bookworm that only talks when there is absolutely something important to say. Mikuru Asahina is the earnest, slow, but adorable girl that Haruhi drags into the club because of her “moe” appeal. Itsuki Koizumi just so happens to be the cocky, rich transfer student with a mysterious past (or so Haruhi likes to thinks because of him transferring in the middle of the year). But of course, none of them are initially what they seem to be.

Later on we realise that Yuki is an Alien observing Haruhi’s actions. Mikuru is a time traveler traveling back to observe Haruhi herself, for classified reasons. And Koizumi is an esper to watch over Haruhi to make sure she doesn’t become stressed, depressed, or mainly as the title says; melancholy. After some explaining in the book, we’re told that Haruhi is not normal whatsoever, she’s literally a god. But yet she doesn’t realise this. The main reason for the three other S.O.S members to observe Haruhi is to make sure she doesn’t destroy the world. When she becomes melancholy she crates closed spaces with beings destroying everything around them. But of course no one actually gets hurt, but yet they’re still dangerous, because if Haruhi becomes too melancholy, she’ll most likely get bored of the current world and create a new one for the old one to die off and get destroyed.

You can obviously tell that the characters are unique from just skimming through the plot, and even more from reading it. Very distinctive from their acts, roles, and stereotype looks. You instantly cling on to what they are and it’s pretty much impossible to mistake them for someone else. Other than the plot and details a bit harder to follow than any other book similar to this, everything about it literally sticks out right at you so that you can’t help but notice what’s going on and get sucked into the book. I would really suggest this book for anyone looking for a good read, or even to buy the comics to see what the characters initial design are, or even the show to watch the actions being dealt.
