I am almost done reading the book " Drug Dangers" and it is a nonfiction book on how drugs can effect your life and how you can prevent from addiction. A couple of ways to prevent from drug abuse is to exercise, try to get out more because on page 48 it say's that lonely, depressed, hoarders, and people who don't get out much are the most likely people to be doing drugs every single day. This shows that people are really addicted to drugs enough to do it every single day and can't stop doing it. In chapter it also says that once you are addicted to drugs it is very hard to stop doing them. People could get habits, start going crazy, and some people could even commute suicide because they don't have no more drugs.


I have some questions on this book because I see lot's of people on the streets smoking cigartes which I read about is bad for you because it could effect your lungs and could get lung cancer. I understand this book fully and would like to read another book on drug dangers because they have specific details on what there talking about. This book is not hard to read at all and I would like to do  RElly good project on it.

Blog #3 Drug Dangers

A lot of people do drugs and I'm reading a book called "Drug Dangers" and it tell a lot about how drugs are bad for you and how you can get in serious trouble by doing them. There are serious consequences if you get caught like getting arrested for a long time. People do drugs because if they are depressed, single, just for fun, and try to forget stuff. There are a 95% chance you will get caught at least once with drugs or doing them because the police now have dogs that can sniff out the drugs and also the police can test you for drugs. Most drugs are illegal in the some states of the US thats why people do it without other people knowing.


Drugs can be used for medication only if you have a doctors permission and if you really need it. Most drugs come from different countries or you can plant them in the ground but both are really hard to do. There is only one or two drugs allowed in the US like tobacco, Marijuana only in some states and for medication. Drugs can have a big impact on your life because you can get addicted to them really fast and not stop doing them until you get in serious trouble or if you get caught. All drugs should be illegal in all countries because they can kill you, make you weak, or get you in serious trouble.

The 39 Clues Blog

I am in chapter four in the book called " The 39 Clues The Maze of Bones" and so far all I know is that Grace Cahill  family is the most powerful family in history. The book starts off very emontional in the beginning because grace is laying down and suddenly dies in her death bed. Grace had a lot of friends and family before she died. There are a lot of characters in this book and one is Dan Snider, William macantyre and that's all the characters form chapter one to four. So far I like the book because I could imagine stuff that is really happening in my head. It has lots of imagery and imagination also but it has some hard words I don't understand. I really want to read the whole series about it and see what happens later on in the series.


Some memory moments in the book that the author asks are really very interesting because it happens earlier in the book and it comes up again in later in the book and makes it kinda different from before because they change the memory up. This book has a lot of memory moments especially in the beginning because she is laying on her death bed and thinking. These help me think about the ending because I wonder if this is all just a dream or if this is really happening to her. It also helps me think about the theme because there are a lot of questions I have to ask because I think there are lots of themes for this book so far.

I read the book "Personal effects" and it gets interesting when Matt finds out his brother is dead when he fought in the war in the beginning of the book and it gets way better in the rest of the book because of its drama and action. I have some connections to this book because I watch movies that some guys are in the war and they lose their family and this kinda reminds me of world war 2 because it's a war and Matt lost his brother and a lot of people lost their family in world war II. This book has a lot of interesting parts but some aren't that good because it gets boring sometimes. I would recommend this book to 8th and high schoolers because it's kinda hard to understand sometimes.


The rising action in this book are when Matt finds out his brother dies in the war and he has to be tough and get through his life without him. The plot in this book is when matt try's to figure out what happened and he get's caught when he does figure it out and his dad get's mad at him for not keeping a promise. The conclusion is when Matt learns a lesson and try's to get out of trouble and learns a lesson not to know because now he is in very deep trouble. Matt is my favorite character in this because I have connections to him and he is a lier about trying to get out of trouble just like me.

I Finished reading my book called "Personal Effects" and I think this book was one of the greatest I've read because this book is about a brother who has to be himself knowing that his brother was killed in the war. I wonder how his brother died because it never tells us how he did but I think he probably died by getting shot in battle or dying of natural causes. I also wonder where did he die because the book only says he died on his way to his mission so I wonder if he died in Iraq when the war was happening. One important question I have is when this book happened like what year, what month and what day.


The genre in this book is Realistic Fiction because it has a lot of parts that could happen but some parts can't really happen in real life. I like this book because of the genre because it is creative and it tells a lot of information and it makes me picture whats really going on in the book. Some parts in the book I didn't like because it get's boring and there is not that much action going on in the book. I still think this book is one of the best books I ever read because it's very descriptive and has a lot of imagery.

This is my second time writing about "The Devils Arithmetic" and it got more interesting in the book because it tells the readers more about what people went through during World War 2.  Hannah is the main character and she went through a lot when she got taken by the Nazis with her family. When she gets taken away her and her family meet a lot of new interesting people who want to help them. This book reminds me off when I went to the holocaust museum because I saw a lot of people getting killed by the gas chambers, getting shot but also some made it out of the war and there are still survivors today that actually want to tell what happened to them and that must be hard. I would refer to read this book because it can remind you of the war and and what happened to the people and what they been through.

The conflict in this book is Man vs self because Hannah has to be tough and try to get free and get away from the Nazis with her family and her friends that she met when she got there. Another conflict in this book is Man vs Man because she fights with her friend because she doesn't want to leave a family member behind to die by the Nazis. The book has a lot of conflicts but I think those are the main two because it tells what Hannah is going throughout the book.

In my Book call " The Devils Arithmetic"  by Jane Yolen there is this girl named Hannah. She is a Jewish girl and she lives in a Polish town. She lives in that town with her relatives and the year in this book is 1942. Suddenly the Nazis take over the whole town and take away all the people who are there. She doesn't know why she is there and doesn't want to be there with her relatives because all they do is talk about the past.


Some tough questions I have about this book is this all a dream or is all this happening? because it seems the events are real and this would happen in the 1940's because the Nazis didn't like any jews and wanted to get rid of them all. I haven't finished reading the book but I really want to know what happens later in the book and if this is really just a dream or it is real.
