                                                                  4th Assignment
     In the book No More Dead Dogs the is a ton of Themes.
        1) The first Theme is Don't Fight Fire with Fire because in the end you will get burned. the reason why I chose this theme is because when Rick wanted Wallace off the football team he started to frame him, but in the end Wallace got in big trouble for something he did not do. Which is really unfair.
        2) The second Theme is always go in with an opened mind, because Wallace always thought that the dog dies at the end of the famous book, but the dogs does not die in the book so he was pretty surprised.

                                                                      3rd Assignment  
                The person I would like to meet  in my book No More Dead Dogs, is Wallace Wallace because he is always so true to what he believes in. the way that i know this is when Wallace is talking to his teacher he is telling him that all dogs die at the end of the book. When he telling him what he thinks he gets a detention.he shows that he truly believing in what he thinks because when he was a little boy his father would always lie to his mother an tell her all types of tales.  Those years showed that Wallace would never turn out like his father.

                                                            2nd Assignment
          In my many years of reading very few characters stand out to me. They include Crispin from the book Crispin and the Lead cross and Crispin and the Great Voyage. this person stands out to me because he show to compassion to the ones he loves. when his master Bear gets very hurt Crispin does everytinhg in his power to help him(129pg.). Another amazing reason why I love Crispin is because of his determination. he show this trait when he and Bear get lost. He was always lookin for someone of something to give him a sign. I connected to Crispin because once when my brother was lost I did not stop looking for him until we found him like when Crispin were lost with Bear.

1st assingment


1)      My favorite book is Crispin by Avi the reason beings, because it is full of action and adventure, and there is a great character around every corner.

2)      My favorite type of genre to read is nonfiction (fashion; Teen Vogue, Vogue.) This type of genre allows me to keep track of what is hot, and new ideas about outfits that I might wear. Another type of genre that I like is Historical Fiction, because it lets me know the hardship that people young or old may have faced. I like it because it literally tells me what people have done to make this world a better place.

3)      A book that I am reading is The City of Orphans by Avi (Yes I love Avi.) There is a character in the book named Maks and he is living with his mom in New York City during the industrial revolution. His Mother is sick with pneumonia and he must make money in order for them to not get kicked out on the street. Maks has a past of stealing money and supplies from where he works, to provide his for his family. During the same time Maks is struggling there is s girl named Willow who is homeless and has nobody to lean on, because her parents are dead, but right before she loses hope she meets Maks. They make a friendship with in the 1st couple of days of knowing each other. As Maks continues to be friends with Willow he finds a job, working as a news paper boy for a person named Bruno, who is a ruthless and mean persons who only cares about making money. But with Maks’ history he is not so sure about working for Bruno.
