Be Confident

Author’s Note: This short piece is going to tell you what my prediction was and what I think was going to happen at the end of a book I am reading.

The book Holes by Louis Sachar I think is a really great book for young and old who like to read books. Holes is about teenagers who do a crime and either go to jail or to a camp and at the camp they have to dig a hole each day five feet deep and five feet wide and if they find something interesting they show it to the warden she’s like the runner of the camp and she decides if they get the rest of the day off. It teaches people lots of different things. One thing it teaches is that you have to keep working hard even if you are in a hot place or a cold place.

I had lots of predictions in my head about this book but I will tell you one of them.  I predicted that The main character Stanley will find something interesting in a hole that he is digging and he will show it to the warden at the camp and he will not have to dig holes for a week because how cool the thing was that he had found. The reason I predicted that, is because Of what I said about them getting the rest of the day off if they found something cool. That prediction just stuck out to me for some reason and I thought my prediction was a good one to say.

We all have our own predictions for every book and people can’t tell you that the prediction is wrong because we all have different predictions and there can’t always be that one person that thinks whatever they do or think is right. Our predictions are sometimes right and sometimes wrong it depends on the outcome of the story so make good predictions and see what happens.

Stay Strong

Author note: In this piece I will be telling you what the theme is in the book holes and what the characters experience throughout the book and what the author is trying to say.

In the book Holes by Louis Sachar the author proves to readers that bravery and courage go with the book because of many different events that happened. Many people that read this book learn a lot about life ,and what it does to you if you make the wrong choices. The characters in the book have to stay strong through the very hot days that they are at camp with not a lot of water each day and not good food to eat. Each person there has to listen to their instructor and do the right things. 

There are many characters in the story and how they have bravery and courage and how they each stay strong and don't give up digging there holes or helping other people. Each character in the book learns to listen and once they are done spending their time there they can go, and will never want to come back because how hard you have to work there. It is very hard on them because they don't get to see their family for quite sometime.

The main character Stanley is not a tall , or strong kid he is the opposite and it is hard for him to dig his holes. When he was coming here he thought there was a lake to swim in there so he wouldn't be so hot ,and it turns out that there is no such thing as a lake. He was not happy when he found that out but at least he got to take showers but the showers went for a short time. He teaches some other kids at the camp to stay strong and to not give up and let nothing stop you and fight off the pain and most important keep moving forward never stay back.

There is another book that I have read and it has the same theme in the book holes it is called Travel Team and the main character has to stay strong and never give up and not  listen to what some people say to him He also helps people and gives them good advise to help them in life and to keep them moving forward. So when times get hard try to stay strong and let nothing stop you and let the pain slide of you.

Work Hard

Author’s Note: I am writing this piece to let other readers know about the main character Danny in the novel Travel Team by Mike Lupica and how he helps others throughout the book.

Danny isn’t a big tall kid as lots of you would think he is, lots of you think he is because it is a sports book and usually the main character is big and strong but Danny is the opposite. Throughout the book Danny becomes wiser and a great influence on other people. There are many great examples of what he does in the book.

His dad was a great example for him at the beginning he really wanted him to play basketball on the same team he did when he was in 6^th grade. Danny tried out for the basketball team and didn’t make it he was very upset and it felt like his life’s goal was no longer possible he tried giving up because he thought he wasn’t good anymore. He then decides to practice a lot more and try to make it on another team that he’s dad was going to coach he said he was never going to give up from this point forward and he made the team I think that was one great example of not giving up and trying harder.

On the other hand why’ll he was going through this his dad was watching him and seeing what he was doing if he wanted to come back and play basketball or not.  His friends were also great influences on him they kept saying you should go back and start playing the sport you love.  He was also a great influence on other people too because when you should fight back to what you want to accomplish you should do it and never give up and he decide to never give up. And lots of people saw that and learned something from that experience that Danny had.

Giving up is a really bad thing because if you want to go back to it later then you are not has good has you were before when you were doing what every you were doing.

Founding Fathers

Author’s note: This is going to be about what question would I ask Americas founding fathers and how cool it would be to meet them in person.

I would of loved to meet the founding fathers if I lived during when they did and would like to see what they would say and see what their personality would be. I would ask them lots of questions but I’m going to tell you one that I would ask them. The question that I would ask them is you guys did a great job making the bill of rights and was it hard making them?

The reason I would ask them that is because I think the bill of rights is very important and if we didn’t have them I don’t know where are country would be right now and it would affect everyone living in the United States. Lots of people not following the rules and it would just get out of hand. There would be less jobs here and lots more people would have no job and make no money to live.

I think this question is a great question to tell them and ask them. It would be the best thing in the world to meet the founding fathers and how cool they would be and how much they would know about everything. There are many great questions to ask them but I think mine is a really great question to tell and ask.

This would be the best thing in the world to be able to meet them. What question would you ask the founding fathers? Don’t you think meeting them would be the coolest thing in the world?

The main problem in The novel Travel Team was this boy loved the game of basketball and wanted to try out for a select team and he did not make the team. Part of the reason he didn't make it was because he is very short. How this problem got resolved is that he found another team to try out for and he made the team and his dad was the coach.

The cause of this happening is that he is to short and the coach did not put him a the team. The effect that it had was he could not play on that basketball for that year. He had to try to get on another team or his life's goal will be no longer possible. 

Monday Night Football

Author’s Note: What I want you to get out of this piece is that you should always have fun in your life. Don’t be angry and sad all the time.

My dad and I were very excited to go to a Monday night football game in Dallas. We weren’t like some people who do not care about the world and is angry all the time. When we were there we saw lots of people that looked happy and some people that were yelling at people and things like that. Just don’t be angry or sad be happy. You only live so long.

When I get angry I try to stop myself by doing something or just don’t worry about it just keep living your  life. When that happens do what I said early and I bet it will help. Also when we were there we got to do other fun things like go carting. All the people there were happy because going carting is usually fun for everyone. That is a great way to have angry go away. Another great way of getting anger out of you is to do service for other people. It will make you feel good and your anger will go away.

The big reason why my dad and I went to Dallas was to go to the Monday night football game in Dallas. It was the Giants against the Cowboys. I really wanted to find our seats I was dancing around I was very excited to be there. It was easy to get to the game because our hotel was close and we got a taxi to the game.  When we were in the stadium everyone in the stadium had a smile on their face. The reason everyone had a smile because they were happy to be there instead of being angry and sad they were doing something fun.

We had a great time just don’t be mad just do something and forget about it. Weather it is service or doing something fun. When you go on vacations look at people and think are they angry or sad or happy if they are mad or angry don’t look up to them just be happy and never be one of those people.

Conflict Resolution

Authors note: In this short piece I will tell you the conflict and resolution of a book.

The Re-bounder by Thomas J. Dygard is about I  boy who loves basketball and is a great one but something happened and he does not want to play basketball anymore. It is a person vs self because he is fighting him self to play basketball or not. That is a big conflict in the novel. Another big thing is that he his kind of being

 forced by the basketball coach to play and he is really frustrated if he will play or not.

There is another book called Million Dollar Throw  by Mike Lupica and brady the main character about fifteen wins a million dollars throwing a football at a target. He has a big decision to make whether to keep the money or pay for this one girl that has I problem seeing that he has known for a why'll. He has lots of pressure on him same as criss in The re bounder.

The conflict was resolved in The re bounder he decided to play basketball and ended up having a great year with his new team and he was very happy he made the decision he made. If something happens in life try to forget it and move on it will be better for you and you won't have to worry anymore if you put it aside.
