"Al Capone Does My Homework" 2 paragraphs blog

I liked the book because Moose Flanagan lives on Alcatraz island and his dad works at the famous prison there.  But Moose don't like his school and he wants to move back to his home town with his old friends. Moose don't like any of the kids at his new school so he just ignores everyone and tries to be quiet. Then finally one day in the middle of the year Moose meets a new friend from his old school and they are aways messing around in the bathroom and in class. Then he has a conference with his Mom and teachers and saying he was good but then he turned around into falling behind. I finished reading the book and I thought it was the best one of the series of the books.



I think some of the conflicts in this book are man vs self because he has to face being alone with no friends in the school and trying really hard in school to get things done and be a good kid. Also because Moose has to live where he doesn't want to and his mom and dad don't want to move back where they lived before because his dad got a better job. Another conflict in this book is man vs man because when his old friend comes to where he is and they fool around a lot. I think the theme in the "book is don't judge a book by its cover".

"Call Of Duty" article review

In my opinion the article "Call Of Duty"is a really good article because Jose has friend named Zenit are in the military and Zenit is a dog that don't wanna leave his side. I can relate because I have dogs and whenever I come home from school they always are jumping on me. This is a really good story when someone is down and they need someone or something to cheer up they should just read this article and make  connections if they have dogs at home. Man vs self is one of the conflicts in this article because he has to face being leg less and whats left of his legs and he has to trust his dog to sniff the bombs.  A life lesson in this book is if your are different from other people or you don't have things they do just be yourself and think differently.

A summary about the article is this guy named Jose and his dog named Zenit have to sniff out bombs and they are in the military. They are always together on missions and always try to help each other whether they are wounded or tired and one day Jose gets struck by a bomb and suddenly he has no legs and all he is worried about is Zenit and wanting him to be next to him. When Jose is better he will go see Zenit and play with him and Jose is wanting to adopt him for his own so they could always be together.

2 paragraphs

I am reading a book called "Al alone does my shoes" and a little summary about the book is there is this kid named Moose Flanigin and he lives on an island called Alcatraz in California. He doesn't like his school because he don't have friends there and he don't like the teachers. His dad works at the prison and the dad loves the job he's coin and the mom and the dad love the school Moose is going too. Moose really wants to go back to his old school because he misses all his friends and his teachers  and he wants to move back where he came from. One part in the story is the families house gets set on fire and Moose's sister gets blamed for it.


I think the point of view in my book I'm reading is first person and third person because the author made the characters say I when Moose is referring to him. Another reason is because the book I'm reading is always asking questions to each other and having questions always to ask. Now I also think its third person because they also say them witch is referring to other people.  A sentence from the story is "I don't wanna be in this school its lame, the teachers over exaggerate and I just don't wanna be here." Another sentence the book said is " The teachers always are yelling at me for reading a book when we can do whatever thats how stupid this school is."

Character analysis

In my book called " Al Capone Does my shoes" Is this kid named Moose Flannigin and he lives on an Island called Alcatraz in San Fransico, California

Moose Flannigin - He is sometimes is bad but he is a good kid and gets his work done most of the time. He isn't happy where he lives because he don't have that much friends where he is at and he don't talk to people there. He wants to move back to his old school but his dad works at the prison there so he can't because his dad loves his job and his mom and dad love the school that he goes too.

"Treasure of Lemon Brown"

I read the book called "Lemon Brown" and my reaction to the book was really depressing because it relates to homelessness. A lot of people are homeless and they have nothing to eat and they got to ask for money. Its really sad to see people without homes and food because they are people too and they are just one of us. People don't deserve to be like that because its harsh on them and there loved ones and some just keep on happening every day. There are men without homes, women, children and even a whole family that has to be in the street. Homeless people should be treated with respect ad people should always donate to them even if they don't care.
