Weekly reading. 2

This week I read an old people magazine. It was an article called Rage To Kill. This article was about the death of three family members in Manheim township, Pa. on May 12, 2007. The attacker, 17 year old Alec Kreider. There was only one person able to escape from the intruder. On June 17 Alec pled guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. Alec Kreider was a friend of one of the family members, but he always had a bad reputation, and was always kind of shady. One thing i pulled out of this article is that you always have to watch your back, and even if you are friends with someone make sure they are your real friend, and make sure you can trust them before you reveal special information about yourself. Also make sure that you make friends with your enemys so that you dont alwasy have to be on the look out for people who may be out to get you.

Codi and Jack

The two Characters that I chose to compare are Codi and Jack. Even though they are very different, since Codi is a human and Jack is an animal dog they are also very similar in many ways. They Both Love Loyd, they are both loyal and they both want to find a home. You can tell that Jack loves Loyd because he follows him everywhere Jack knows Loyd loves him back because Loyd takes such good care pf him. Codi also loves Loyd, and she even though she does not show it she still acts like it, by going and meeting his family. Codi and Jack are both also very loyal to Loyd. One reason you could say this is because Codi tells Loyd everything. One reason you could say the same about Jack is because even though he could run away he always comes back to Loyd when Loyd calls for him too. The last main similarity I found between Jack and Codi is both of there sense in wanting to belong. Jack wants to stay with Loyd because he wants to belong somewhere and Loyd saved him when he was a puppy so he stayed with Loyd and found home. Codi is also looking for a place to belong that is why she went back to Grace.

Life of Pi

The most recent book I have read is called Life of Pi by Yann Martel. It is about a young teenager, Pi, who is trapped out at sea for two hundred and seventy seven days on a small life boat with no food or fresh water. Pi is trapped on the life boat with only animals from a cargo ship transferring animals to a different zoo. Pi is forced through many challenges and comes close to death many times. I really liked this book because the author was writing about how the will to stay alive is all about how far you are willing to push yourself and what you are willing to give up. The author shows this by Pi having to give up his goal to stay a vegetarian by eating fish he has caught in order to stay alive. I do agree with the author because I do think that you have to push yourself to stay alive, and when you cant push yourself anymore and you give up you die. I think that if you have the will power to stay alive, and you really want to you can. Even if you have to do things you do not want to or give up goals you do not want to.

I am a very noisy person. Many people tell me this too. I laugh very loud, and talk very loud too. This sometimes gets me in trouble or yelled at. A lot of people get mad at me because they have to ask me numerous times to be less noisy. Whenever I’m at someone’s house with my friends and we are laughing and having fun, we always get very very loud. There is always someone telling us to be quiet, it is usually Ryan Beegle That’s why I chose to describe myself with this word.
