In this book a boy named Haroon and a boy named Jay get a point of view. Jay is white, kind of a jock, and on the football team. Haroon is brown, smart and on the Reach for the Top team(which is like a team that answers trivia and competes with other schools). It all starts off when the school goes on a lockdown where police are rushing in the school with dogs and bombarding the hallways. Jay and his friends Kevin and Steve go on the rooftop of the school thinking it is just a regular drill, but then they look down and see a bunch of police cars and they see police that look like swat teams.

Sigurd is more heroic then Gunnar because Sigurd was able to defeat a dragon. Also he accomplished the task of riding through the fire wall surrounding Brunhild’s castle when Gunnar couldn’t do it. Most of Gunnar’s heroic acts were from winning battles in wars. Gunnar would have been heroic like Sigurd if he had accomplished Sigurd’s deeds. This is because being able to ride through a wall of flames and killing a dragon are more impressive heroic acts then winning war battles.

Characters and Background: I just got in reading this book called variant by Robison wells with a total of 373 pages. This book is about a boy named Benson Fisher Who gets enrolled into a new school program called Maxfield Academy. This is a very suspicious school to Benson because it has a barbed wire fence that surrounds the entire school. There are no teachers or adults in the building at all, and There are three gangs called Variant, Havoc, and the Society, but the thing that makes suspense in the most suspicious, is the fact that everyone seems to be okay with this. Out of the three gangs that are at the school, Benson decided to be a Variant also known as the “V’s”. The V's are the smallest gang That consists of only 18 people. The largest gang is the Society. The Society are

For this weeks journal I am reading "Harris and Me" by Gary Paulson. This excellent book starts off explaining the narrators (who goes by "me") situation. He has been raised by an angry, drunk mother and father. Finally CPS steps in and he is bounced back and forth from his relatives homes. The next relative he goes to live with is his distant cousins, the Larson's. The Larson's are what some people would call full blooded rednecks. The Larson's have a little bit of everything on their farm. Chickens, horses, cows, pigs are just to name a few. His cousin Harris is one of the messiest, craziest people he has ever met. Every time Harris lets a cuss word roll out of his mouth his fourteen year old sister Glennis gives him a licking for it. On the first morning he is on the farm Harris wakes him up before the sun has even risen and he's awful upset until he realizes that that's how things work on the farm. On his second day on the Larson farm he meets the dirty farm hand, Louie. Louie is the headrest working man he has ever seen. At dinner that night Louie had his food engulfed before the narrator could say "let's eat." The narrator and Harris are always getting into mischief. One day they got attacked by a rooster named Ernie. Ernie was the meanest thing you'd ever meet. Harris blamed his cousin that they got jumped. Harris said he would have he rooster had he not been distracted. Another day the narrator gets knocked out by Vivian the cow. After he woke from

After reading 80 pages of, “Skud,” by Dennis Foon, I felt motivated by the actions and determination shown by the main characters of the story, especially Andy. In the book, all the characters had a goal or objective and worked hard to reach that goal. Although most people would not advise someone to center their life around one certain thing, I think that when one finds a purpose or objective in life they should always do their best to reach this goal regardless of what others say or thinks of it. In the book, Andy dream was to become a popular actor.Although the possibility of getting cast is low and although he was hurt and unwell, Andy still went to the audition because of that small possibility. After reading about this, I felt determined and motivated by actions like this.

It was a normal day in the castle of Goranson. All the townspeople were tending to their work when an explosion made a loud sound that ran throughout the castle. Townspeople stood there shocked as the castle stood in silence. After the seconds of silence another loud explosion shook the castle followed by arrows flying throughout the castle and vikings screaming as they charge in. Everyone ran to get to safety and the vikings never followed. They only had one mission, to get the king and destroy the castle. When all the noise had stopped and all the screams were silenced the townspeople went to look outside to see that the castle was all burnt down. One farmer had said “Quick find the king”. They all rushed into various buildings only to find the king was not there.
