The Big Time

Author’s Note: This short paragraph tells about our book and what we learn from the book that will help us in life.
The book I'm reading right now is The Big Time by Tim Green. It's a very interesting book and teaches readers alot about life. The book is about a boy about my age that he wants his dad back and its hard for him to get him back.He goes through lots of challenges with help from his friends. It helps you to stay strong in life and never give up on anything even if it doesn't work out. If you stay strong in life lots of  hard trials will be easy. 

China

Author's Note: For our writing circles we had to write what country we would like to visit  and what we would do there.

If you could go to a country which one would you go to? I would go to China and see lots of the old sites like the Great Wall. Another reason why I would go there is to taste Their food and see how different it taste. Eating there food is just as bad as geting mud in your mouth on a rainy day. The last reason why I would like to go is because lots of their clothes and toys are less money then they are in the United States. You should go to China to see what it is like.

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.
