Dylan-Summer Story Cade- A Boy's Day

I was at my house with my friend Ben. Ben and I decided to go outside and play basketball. We decided to play horse. It was a close game but I beat Ben in the game even though Ben is a lot better then me at basketball. Ben was really angry because I won by making a shot that I probably I would never make again.  Ben and I then decided to play a one on one game to twenty-one. I went up twelve to four then Ben started to make a comeback and had the game within four points. I then hit a three in which put me up on Ben fifteen to eight. I eventually one the game twenty-one to seventeen. I was happy because I usually never beat Ben in basketball because he has played it a lot longer then I did. 

The book I picked for my one of my summer reading books is I an Number Four by Pittacus Lore.  One aspect I noticed in this book is the personal relationships in the book. One relationship is between John and Henri, the relationship the two is like a father and son relationship because Henri is John's guardian. Another relationship is between John and Sarah, Sarah and John are dating in the book. Those are a few relationships I noticed in the book. One theme I noticed in the book is 'when you don't think you can win just keep trying." I really like this them because it can help you in everyday life by making you to keeping working at your goal. Once I read this book and thought about its theme I incorporated into my life by using it in cross country. I use it in cross country because I'm not the fasted and not going to win the race but I always try so maybe one day I am winning the races.

Austin- Austin's About Me Jack- Free Post- About Myself

Here are a few things about myself. I play lacrosse and run cross country. I have three dogs Spike, Teddy, and Bella. I also have one very rude cat named Scout. My cat is like a human being he eats chips and other human food. Something I really enjoy is hanging out with Dad because he is my role model in life and helps me through hard times. Those are just a few things about myself.  I have multiple goals this year for my English class and blog. One goal of mine is to have a grade 86% or higher. I would like to accomplish this goal because I need to get grades in every single high school class so I can go to the college I want. Another goal of mine is to get a lot better as a writer and with my use of commas. I would like to get better at both of these because I need to be able to use both of these skills my whole life. Those are a few goals of mine.

The one book I read over the summer is The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore. This book is based in modern time in two different places. The book is written from two point of views, the two point of views the author uses is Marina and John. I really liked how the author did two point of views because I liked how you could see two point of views who were not in he same country. One strategy I used while reading this was reading 30 pages per day. This strategy really helped me not have to read a bunch of pages on the last week of summer but I could read a couple of pages a day and hang out with friends too. Another strategy I used was that I took notes on the books so I could remember the book at the beginning of the school year. One theme I noticed in this book is adversity. You notice this multiple times whenever John and Marina face Mogodorians or other forces against them. Another theme I noticed is team ship you see this when John, Six, and Sam work together and feed off each other.
