Entry #1

The mane of my book is "To Kill A Mockingbird". The story is about this boy name Jem and his sister growing up with their father. They mother died when they were very young, Jem sister was to young to remember when they mother died. Their father Atticus was a lawyer and he wasn’t at home that much, so he had a black maid that watch the children and cooked while he was at work. One day their daddy had to defend a black man at court and little kids started messing with Jem saying that his daddy is a niggerlover, and Jem end up fighting the little boy.

The thing that sticks out the most to me is when the little boys started picking at Jem about his daddy being a niggerlover. I think that Jem should have fought him because he did have anything to do with his daddy defend a black person. One of the other things that stick out to me is when they have to go to school together. Jem told his sister do not say anything to him at school. The reason I like that because me and my cousin was just like that in school, we did say that much to each other in school but we talk when we get home.

The thing that I like about the story is that Atticus still has a job and doing well by working and taking care of his kids. The hard that their mama is died and every day he still go to work so that he can support the kids with out her. Their daddy hired a black woman to be their maid and she stay with them when their mama died so she could take care of them when he is at work.

Independence

Independence

The story I read was independence, it was about these four girls tell how there life was growing up. I like this story because growing up I was kind of like the girl that was telling the story. The only difference was, I grew up around boys and they were my cousins and we stay with my grandma. When I was in middle school my older cousin was getting ready to go off to college too, just like the Linda in the story.

The story seem like this was a little girl tell all about her life and telling how all her sisters end up leaving her with her ma and daddy. At the beginning of the story it tells you about how the oldest sisters goes off to college. The other two girl, Cathy and Sharon was just trying to go somewhere for the summer. Then about three weeks later after everybody was gone expect the girl who was telling the story.

Cathy and Sharon called and it was a emergency and they want to talk to there daddy and all he said was I will be there to pick you Saturday. The story did not ever tell what happen to Cathy and Sharon.

I think the subject of the story is that they were trying to show how their life was growing up. I think that the author was just trying to show you how they life was growing up with three sisters. I agree with the story because it reminds me of my childhood story when I was younger.
I think that the author mane the story Independence, because the story when all of her sisters left she was the only child there. One of her sister was gone off to college and the other two was gone for the summer and she was the only one there.

I choose The Transporter, this movie is about this man that gets a package and he got to deliver it on time to the person. Sometimes the person maybe in another state and sometimes he may run into trouble. Then he would have to fight the people and they would try to take the package from him or try to make him be late deliver package.
