Stupid Mathias Book Report

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

First of all, I want to tell you that this the most retarded book I've ever read in my entire eighteen years of being alive. Not only did I spend hours after working and going to school trying to read this book so I could do this report. It was really hard to stay intact to a book that doesn't make much sense anyways much less at 11:30 PM at night.

I smirk and place my hands in my pockets as sign that I came here as no threat.

Within the book You Lost Me by David Kinnaman, the author discusses why young Christians are leaving the church and rethinking faith. He gives us an overview of the trends within the mosaic generation. Through this overview, we as student ministers can better understand the generation in which we are ministering to. With this understanding, we can reach these students and bring them back to their home, that is the Church. In this report, I will discuss the book by chapter and finish with my reflection.

I woke up the next morning in my clothes. I fell asleep, pen in hand. I rose up slowly out of my bed groggily. I gathered up my papers that were scattered all around my bedroom floor.

Is called “juice”. There's this kid named Michael Monroe that lives in a town where football is everything. Michael is on his high school football team . He is one of the best and powerful players.He's Nicknamed “Moose” and his teammates would say “the mood is on the loose”. The first time they called him moose was when he was in first grade, a kid was bullying him by saying that his hair stood up like a moose’s antlers and because Michael was the biggest in the class. The name followed him but it wasn't really an insult anymore ,it was more like saying that Michael was big and powerful.

I am writing this proposal to inform you and The U.S Department of Health and Human Services about some of the negative aspects that happen in the fast food industry. Chew On This, by Eric Schlosser was written in 2006. This book is about many things that happens behind the doors of the fast food industry. For example it talks about what can happen to people that eat a lot of fast food. What chemicals the food has and how it is made.

“How? When? Why?” I found myself stuttering until I completely shut myself up. Clarisse sat there laughing at my attempt to talk.

decided it was time to update his journal as he had always done at the end of

We all got situated around the oval table, and food was quickly brought to us. We feasted on ham, turkey, potato, and so much more freshly baked food. The conversation had dulled down, and everyone was getting along.

“I….I’m the son of satan?” I stammer out he just nods at me with this annoying smile, that makes me want to punch him in his face.

"Stop! Go away, get back on your side!" I bark the order at him like a drill sergent. He stops in his pursuit and looks me in the eye.

You sigh in both relief and sadness before turning to your best friend who was smirking at you.

I stare at him shocked, secretly wishing that I was drinking water at that moment so that I had a valid reason to do a spit take.

We-neg laughs. Jocelyn's eyebrows become slanted. She rubs one of her forearms, frowns with squinted eyes.
