Favorite Restaurant

Author’s Note: This short story is about my favorite restaurant and why I Like it.

What is your favorite place to go and eat? My favorite place to eat is Asiana. Why I like it so much is they have sushi and that is one of my most favorite foods. Walking in Asiana feels like walking in this big house With a masive chandalier hanging above you. Eating Their food is just as good as having a big vanilla milk shake on a hot sunny day. You should go to Asiana and try it some time if you like japaness food you will definitely love Asiana. 

Dinosaurs


Author’s Note: This short story is about dinosaurs and what I liked about them.

What is your favorite type of dinosaur? Mine is The T-rex it is the biggest dinosaur that ever lived on the earth and ate anything that was meat. Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and are one of the most interesting Animals that ever lived. TheT-rex is just as big as five moving trucks combine. Other dinosaurs are almost as ig as the T-rex but the king.

Life's Lessons



Author’s Note: Winning isn’t everything. It’s what you learn along the way that makes us better as athletes and as people.  When you lose you learn from those mistakes and get better for the next time.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have your parents in the process of splitting up and being the one to lead your team to the  World Series? Best of the Best by Tim Green describes in detail what it would be like to lead your team to the little league World Series, keep your dad from losing his money in a scam and learning that your parents are in the process of splitting up. This is what Josh Le Blanc faces.

The main character Josh stays strong throughout the novel. With help from his two close friend’s life is a lot easier for Josh as he leads them to the World Series and manages his parents. From another book I have read called, Million Dollar Throw, the author makes a character about Josh’s age they go through similar trials and they each have a friend to help them through challenges so it becomes a little easier.

I can relate to this book because my baseball team came really close to winning the championship for baseball and I felt disappointed just like Josh did when we didn’t win. However we had a lot of fun, I met new friends, learned that you have to play as a team and made a lot of great memories. Sometimes that’s better than winning a championship.

 The book ended differently than I expected. I thought they were going to win the World Series and Joshes parents would get back together. However they lost the championship game and Joshes parents didn’t end back together. It was more like a real situation that happens more often in life. We still learn from it and it makes us better.

Hard Work and a Brother's Love


Author’s Note: Ty, the main character in the book goes through hard trials in his life. These trials come on the football team and in living with his uncle. Sometimes trials make us better.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a mean uncle and have you parents die?
Football Hero by Tim Green describes in detail what it would be like living with a mean uncle and cleaning restaurants and getting bullied on the football team.

The main character Ty stays strong throughout the novel, listening to his uncle telling him to clean the house and lots of other mean things and thinking about his parents and trying really hard on the football team. With help from his older brother Thane, life becomes a little easier for Ty at school and with his uncle and aunt. From another book I have read, Night Hoops, the author makes a character about Ty’s age and they both go through hard times and they each have an older brother that steps up for them so they don’t have to do lots more challenges than they already have to. 

I can relate to this story because I have played on a football team and I have an older brother. I know what it’s like to be on a team and I know what it’s like to have an older brother who helps me and looks out for me. The author makes Ty an example of someone who is strong and responsible and makes good choices to help other people do what’s right. The author wants you to learn how to be strong and stand up for yourself when times are tough.

I liked the book because it told a lot about bravery and hard work. When you want to be good at something you have to practice. Not everything comes easy you have to work to get better and stronger. The book is very inspiring to me and it teaches me to be more brave and strong at most of the things I do. 
 
Sometimes life can be hard but when you stick together with your sibling’s life is a little easier. Making good choices helps too. Being brave helps you a lot in life.

Go Big or Go Home

Author’s Note: Brady the main character goes through all this trials with his brother and they try to over come them.
The book Go Big or Go Home by Will Hobbs is a really exiting story that takes readers through the roughness of the Rocky Mountains and life. The novel is a good way to teach kids lessons about staying true to family and friends even in a crisis.

The Author shows good emotion and describes things very well throughout the entire book. He teaches readers to go on adventures and have fun in life. The Author tells us something’s are difficult but we can overcome the trials. The Author again teaches us to keep pushing forward to challenge our self’s in the future to come. In the novel the Author makes the main character and his older brother go through all this adventures and ruff times.

On the other hand the author got his point across very well in the novel. His point in the story was that you have lots of hard challenges in your life that you should accomplish so your life becomes a little easier. The author in the book gave really good examples of what some hard trials are like in your life. He made two brothers in the story because he wants them to go through all these hard trials together to help each other out.

It relates to me because when I was snowboarding I got stuck in a tree and couldn’t get out for a why’ll. That relates to the book because when Brady the main character and his brother were on a little raft trying to catch fish one big fish got on their line and they tried to get the fish in there raft but the fish got away and the hook from the fish line hit their raft and the raft got a hole on the side so they had to swim out and get on shore.


Throughout the book the author shows everything very clear and describes things very well. The author in this novel tells us that if you have trials you can get help by another person you know.
