Bocage Trip

     On Sunday nothing was happening that was out of the ordinary. I mowed the grass, took a shower, then started homework. Then my dad said that we are going to bocage. I was a little hesitant to accept the invitation because it was Sunday and I thought nobody would be there. I decided to go because anything is better than doing your homework.

     We arrive to bocage we drop Mary off at Cotillion then go to the pool. My guess was correct nobody was at the pool. Thankfully the Saints game was on, so me and my dad watched the Saints game while my little sister swam in the pool by herself. It turned out to be a good decision to go to the pool because when we left we got ice cream.

        Currently I am reading Catching Fire. Catching Fire is the second book in The Hunger Games series. I wanted to start reading this book because the movie is coming out soon, so I thought it would be cool to be able to watch the movie and see how different it was from the book.

       My question for this book is, Will Catching Fire be as thrilling as The Hunger Games? I think that this question will be answered very soon because they already did something in the book that got me really involved. If something exciting happens this early in the book then the rest of the book must be amazing.

     Hi my name is William Harrell. Something you might not know about me is that everybody calls me squid. I have had the nickname squid since second grade. Some people that have known me for three or more years still do not know my real name.

     My expectations for this class are not very demanding. I expect to make a B or better grade in this class. I will say that I am not a big fan of reading and writing. That might have to change though because English is reading and writing. I like the group of students that are in the class with me this year, and I think this will be a fun year.

       The Knife of Never Letting Go was a book that started out very bad. I hated the book at the beginning, I wanted to stop reading it, but I kept on reading because I had to for summer reading. By the time the book was finished I was glad I kept reading because the book kept getting better as you read.

       There were some bad parts or some parts that the author needed to make more clear in the book. One part was when Aaron attacked Todd and Viola, then Aaron got attacked by alligators. Usually when somebody gets attacked by alligators that means that the person died. When Aaron showed up again I was shocked because I though he died. A while after I discovered that Aaron was still alive it made me think, why would the author make someone look like thy died but they didn’t? I realized the author put Aaron’s return in the book so there could be a dramatic twist in the book. The bad part of the book was the ending. I hated the ending so much. My heart was racing, and I was wondering if Viola was going to make it. Then Mayor Prentiss comes out and claims he is the president of the New World, then the book ends. Overall I thought that this book was good and I hope I don’t abandon books any more.
