Cause and Effect


Author's note: In the book Touch Spirit Bear, I  compared different events in the book.


Normally Cole Matthews bad behavior would have sent him strait to jail. Instead he gets to spend a whole year on a remote island. While there he burns his supplies and cabin. In effect to his bad behavior and getting mauled by a spirit bear, he gets sent back to his home town. After getting a second chance, he goes back to the island to fulfill his time. Realizing that to heal himself from his bad deeds, he must help the ones he hurt, to  heal.

If he did not get sent back to the island the rest of the book would have been about his jail time. Making this book very boring. Obviously this is a huge plot twist and made the book more interesting.

Conflict Resolution


Author's Note: The conflict in the Hunger Games. (Circled around the last book)


Hunger Games! Surprised? Most likely not.  I chose this book because I remember it the most. So  basically,  the main character is against the Capital (Government). Meaning this is person vs. society. Throughout the book she chips away at the Capital. In the end she storms the Capital, kills everyone, looses her sister, and moves on with life.

Middle school sucks, well at least for Greg Heffley. Social tripwires, big brothers, and nuclear cheese are all a daily mix for Greg. Follow him as he writes in his diary about his endless plans to become popular which never seem to ever go his way.  This book is driven forward not by an unfolding plot, but rather the hilarious failure in Greg's schemes. This book is written just like a journal with pictures and font that look as if it was written by hand. Even down to the lines of the paper. Anyone who love mischief will love this book.

I want to be a Billionare


If I had a billion dollars the first thing I would buy would be a House. It would one of the biggest houses in Wisconsin. Including a huge amount of land surrounding it. Next thing to buy would be furniture. Nice big TVs and Couches. The special rooms in the house would be a bar, pool, greenhouse, man cave, and even a weapon room. A big thing I would like to buy would be a huge plot of land to hunt on and host events. To get to this place I would need someone to drive and something to drive. For Vehicles I would buy a Jeep, 10 Trucks, 10 ATVs, 5 4 Wheelers, 2 Motorcycles, and a Mustang. I would constantly invite people over and have around the clock butlers and maids. But the main thing I want to do is give charity $150,000,000 to The Make A Wish foundation.

My Favorite Team


My favorite team would have to be Fantasy Factory. There leader is Rob Dyrek. Rob Dyrek is a professional skater.  Unlike most teams they don’t stick to one sport. They participate in Moto-cross, Basketball, Dirt Bike Racing, Go carting, Paintballing, Basketball, and even Dodgeball.

Though they participate in many different sports/activities they are not a official team. Instead they basically spend a bunch of money on team uniforms and equipment and play the sport until they lose. The only reason I enjoy watching their show is because there is always lots of humor.

Spring DWA


If you woke up suddenly and found yourself on a ship to a new country what would you do? This is how the book The Year of the Hangman by Gary Blackwood starts out. I would certainly be terrified if I was thrown on a random ship to a new country. But that’s just the beginning. This only starts out the awesome level of action and adventure. Making it amazing to read. Sparking this book like he did made it extremely exciting to read and it had the detail to match.

In addition to going to a mysterious new country, Creighton’s home country Britain is fighting American rebels trying to stray off from British personal and have America become its own country. This act was also known as the American War of Independence. History states that America wins and strays to become its own country. In this book the British have won the war and killed America’s leader George Washington. American soldiers have gone underground in their operations and are trying to free the country of British soldiers.

Although while the war is slowly coming to an end Creighton has to pick a side to fight for. His home country that has betrayed him by sending him on a ship to America or he can join the Americans and fight for freedom. Even though his country did this to him Creighton decides to pick the British. This decision leads him to prison escapes, arson, code-cracking, duels, and even more adventures and quests. Although the British supply him with supplies the Americans are robbing British carriages and cargo. Since this is the case he needs to make money to support himself. Bandit raiding has to come to a stop. Without supplies the British are very vulnerable to attack.

Overall this book was a great selection for me. The book should among one of the best action and adventure stories ever written. Along with amazing amounts of detail to support it. Everyone who has an interest in wars of the past would love this book.
