The first summer reading book that I got to pick was called Nighthawk by Clive Cussler. I picked this book because I read the book and it look very interesting.In this book it is up to two people to save the world and they are racing against time. This book kept me interested and I couldn't put it down because I always had to know what happened next. What I liked most about the book is how it kept me on my toes the whole time.
     Clive Cussler makes many other great books like this one. I read about some of the others when I was buying this book and Nighthawk sounded the best. The book does a good job of explaining what is happening around the main character. The vocabulary selection was good as well.  I loved this book and I recommend it to anyone who likes action.

 This week in my book the 13 year old boy, who got taken to the grand Tetons by his grandfather, shot his first elk. The next day when they go to get the elk they are packing it onto their horses when a bear come by. The bear had smelled the elk and it hadn't noticed the boy until him and his grandfather tried to get on their horses. The bear charged at them and the horses took off throughout the woods. The boys horse tried to make a sharp turn and he got thrown off and rolled down the side of a hill into some brush.      The boy got up and tried to call for his grandfather when the bear came running down the hill charging. The boy dropped to the ground and put his hands behind his neck. The bear smacked him with its paw. He rolled down the hill some more and rolled into a creek. He tried to stand up but his knee was sprained. He called for his grandfather who was laying right behind him in the icy flowing water.

Fall Break Free Post

     Over Fall break I went to Texas de Brazil which is a Brazilian inspired steakhouse. I have drove past it so many times but I had never actually been inside so I was very excited. When my family and I walked in, we saw this giant display of flowers above the buffet. The restaurant had a massive wine cellar with glass walls so you could see inside. There were ladders on either side so you could get to the bottles at the top. We walked to the front counter and the lady asked us to follow her.      When my family and I sat down, the waiter explained to us how the restaurant worked. There was a little circle-shaped card that had a green side and a red side. The green side told the waiters to bring more food and the red side told them to stop. Soon after he was done explaining people started walking up to our table with big skewers and carving knives. They would ask you if you would like any and if you said yes they would cut off a piece of meat from their skewer and put it on your pla

Response to "Harrison Bergeron"

     The short story "Harrison Bergeron" starts off by giving back ground information such as the setting and what is going on. The main conflict in this story is Person vs. Machine. Everyone has a dissability according to how good they are at something to where everyone is equal. There have been devices put into the ears of smart people to make noises to distract them when they are thinking.      A couple were sitting on their couch in their home. The man named George was very smart he had a device in his ear to keep him equal to his wife Hazel, who was not the smartest person. Their son, Harrison Bergeron, had been taken by the government because he was good at everything. While George and Hazel were watching ballerinas on their TV, Harrison bursted in and began to dance with one of the ballerinas. He took off her mask that made her appear ugly because she was the prettiest of the ballerinas. The action in the short story began to rise. Harrison removed the handicaps from
