4Q #7 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

Henry’s little sister Louisa wanted to climb the Katahdin. What had begun as a quest to simply prove his own worthiness in his brother's memory becomes an struggle of far greater weight for Henry, as he recognizes that, his father's teaching that "if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you," Trouble is an necessary part of living. Through his experiences on the journey. I think that Henry learned that, in order to live well, one must learn to "live where Trouble is," and he yet climbs Katahdin in search of the strength within himself to do just that.

As I was reading my book. There was a flash back. In the bing of this book, Henry’s father said, “if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you”. And at the ending of this book. I know this because, in the book it states. Henry had a flash back of his father saying "if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you”. This proves that Henry was thinking about his father saying trouble is everywhere, no matter where you go. 

4Q #7 "Trouble", Summary

Summary

Franklin had planned to climb Katahdin, the dangerous mountain peak in neighboring Maine, with his younger brother. When Franklin dies, Henry will climb alone in his for he can have memories of his brother Franklin, but as it turns out.  His best friend, Sanborn Brigham, want to be allowed to tag along, and through their closeness during the course of their travels, Henry learns of the deep sadness that comes from having parents who will always give a child everything he could want, but a lot of things remain completely different to him. Henry's second buddy on the journey is someone for whom he at first has nothing but dislike, a young Cambodian settler named Chay Chouan, who was the driver of that that killed Franklin. At first unaware of the identity of the boy whom fate has so came back again into his life, Henry comes to recognize the quiet greatness and strength of Chay, who has lost everything, including family and home, through war and loving an American girl.


As I was reading my book. There was a memory moment. Henry anted to climb the monument that Franklin wanted to climb. No one has never climb it. They say that “If you climb it, you will never come back alive.” I know that this is a memory moment because the book it states, "I want to climb the mouton  for I can make my brother proud”.

4Q #6 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

When they got to the court house, Louisa was still crying. Henry went to go sit with her because he felt bad for her. Henry was trying to talk to her. As he was trying to talk to her, Louisa was still crying. Henry said “Do you remember watching The Wizard of Oz?” Louisa looked at Henry with a big smile and said “yes”. They say “Oz” to know that every things okay, but they know that everything is not okay. The judge walked in the room that Henry, Louisa, and their mom and dad was in and the judge said “This is the pretrial hearing for the People versus Chay Chouan, on the charges of aggravated assault and leaving the scene of an accident.” Chay Chouan was the one that fit Franklin when he was running. This is why Henry family is at the court house. Chay Chouan fit Franklin because he feel asleep when he was driving. Chay Chouan hurt Franklin really bad and Judge thinks that Franklin will not survive and Henry thinks the same thing but he does not want to say it. Henry is thinking about all the good time that he had with Franklin. He does not know what he will do with out his bigger brother. 

As read there was a memory moment. Henry and Louisa had a memory moment. They had a memory of them watching the movie the “Oz”. Henry use to hold  Louisa hand u hide under the blankets whenever the Wicked Witch comes. And they waited until the music changed. And when it did, that means Dorothy and Toto were back on the Yellow Brick Road again. I know this because in the book it states “Do you remember watching The Wizard of Oz?” This shows that Henry was trying to get Louisa happy by reminding her about watching The Wizard of Oz.

4Q #6 "Trouble", Summary



Summary

It was  a storm throughout the whole chapter 4. Henry was looking for his mom outside the house. He did not find her, so he went outside to go look. He found her outside looking at something. As soon as Henry walked over to his mom. He seen "most of the beach within the cove was gone. Close in, the black boudoirs had been torn down into a jumble. Between them and the far end of the cove, only a small strip of sand remained. And a the far end lay uncovered the framing and decking of an old ruined ship.” Henry walked to the ship with his mother to check it out. "Mrs. Smith gave Henry this cautionary news, he had to talk about it all over Whittier Academy, and Mr. DiSalva was so excited that he was already planning a Whittier field trip to Salvage Cove.” Reporters want to make an interview about Henry about the ship, but hi mom said no to the reporters.  Henry and his family had to go to Manchester courthouse and Chay Chouan’s, because he was by the boat and the boat was not his property. Louisa did not want to going, she have not been out her room ever seems her old brother Franklin’s  accident.

As I'm reading, I can see that this family is going thought a lot. I know this because  Louisa does not want to come out of her room ever since Franklin's accident. Franklin had an accident and lose one of his arm. And Henry's family have to go to Manchester courthouse and Chay Chouan’s, because he was by the boat and the boat was not his property. I know this family is going thought a lot because they book states "His father, in the front passenger seat, was staring blankly out the window. Louise, next to Henry, was pressed against the seat and already crying silently." Just by this sentence this shows that not only they are going thought a lot, they are really sad and depressed.

4Q #5 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

As Henry and his mom went to go check up on Franklin, Franklin was looking for Henry. As soon as Franklin seen Henry, Franklin said “Katadin.” Henry didn’t known what meant. Then He thought about it, and remember. Franklin had told him “If you climb the “Katahdin," you have guts. You can handle anything.” This tells me that, if Henry climes the “Katadin”, he could handle “trouble”.  Louisa came out of her room and Henry seen her. As there mother walked in to the kitchen Louisa ran straight to her mother and gave her a big hug. Henry went to school the next day. All of his teacher was asking him question like “How is your brother?”, “Is it true that he lost his arm?” Was he in pain?” and more….. 

As I’m reading this book. there was a memory moment. I know this because, in the book it states “Handle Trouble. Like, suppose you hear at school that someone who doesn’t deserve to be at Longfellow Prep is talking with Louisa. And maybe he wants to do more then talk.” This proves thats Henry had a flash back of his brother telling him about the “ Katahdin”.

4Q #4 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

They haven’t seen Louisa ever seen Franklin accident. Henry got an kayak. 
“He hadn’t really decided where he was going”. He had explored north along the coast. "Later, he had explored south near Manchester, paddling among the marina docks and the hight prowed boats, then along beaches stretched beneath the houses of Old Money—like his own”. In the morning he headed straight out from Salvage Cove. He is doing the is because he wants to keep his mine off of his brother Franklin accident. As Henry was kayaking, he seen a dog in the water. He went to go help the dog but the dog was being a bit pain in the butt. As soon as Henry got to the shore. Henry was laying on the floor and the dog was too. “Dog and boy breathing heavily and to the same rhythm, the salt strong in their mouths. The dog was not in good shape, the dog was really skinny and you could she her bones. Henry thinks the reason why she was in the water is because she was looking for food. Henry took the dog to the kitchen to feed here. His father came in the kitchen and he seen the dog, at first he did not like the dog, but then he look in her eyes and he feel in love with the dog. Henry’s family went back to the hospital and Franklin has another seizure.


Throughout this book. I think that Henry is a brave and intelligent kid. I say that because he is going through a lot. Such as, him dealing with his father saying “Stay out of Trouble”, his brother having that accident and having seizures, Henrys little sister doesn’t want to come out of her room cause of Franklin accident. I know this because in the book it states “He kicked off his shoes and rolled up his pants, drew on the life jacket, then carried the kayak into the water until it floated bow up, stern up, blowup, stern up on the low waves.” This proves that Henry wants to keep his mine off of everything, and not worry even tho he is still worry for his brother.

4Q #4 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

Henry father told him "that if you build your house fed enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you”. They lived where their family use to live for 300 years. Henry house begun in 1678 with his seventeen ancestors. Henry has a brother name, Franklin, and a sister name, Louisa. On Sundays, Henry’s family would go to St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. His family had owned a pew since 1680.  Henry was one of the smaller rugby players. "Blythbury-by-the-Sea was a town that Trouble could not find”, as they say. Henry’s 14th birthday the straps of the backpack his parents had given him so he could show Franklin how ready he is for he can go to the hiking trip up “Katahdin", and Franklin think the Henry ready to go so he "agreed to take him”. Someone had hit Franklin with there car when Franklin was running and they are at the Hospital. He had "assess the damage”.  Henry’s mom had left an letter saying that about the accident. “Franklin’s arm was gone. That his brain had swollen and that the Doctors were using drugs to relieve the pressure”.

Throughout my reading I have noticed that Henry's dad was constantly saying "Stay away from trouble".  This reminds my of an Again and Again moment.  I know this because the text states "Blythbury-by-the-Sea was a town that Trouble could not find".  This proves that Henry's father Does not want him to get in trouble or hurt because he constantly saying "Stay away from Trouble". Anther reason why I know his is because in the texts it states, "There was only Now. On the hospital. Where they all sat in the middle of Trouble". This proves that there is "Trouble" no matter why they go.

4Q #3 "The Outsiders" Summary


Summary

Johnny went out too get thing rot eat and stuff. Johnny looked at Pony Boy and he say, Were gonna cut our hair, and you’re gonna bleach your”. Pony Boy does want want to cut off his hair. They are doing this because they need to be  disguised. When Pony Boy and Johnny was looking at the sunset and it reminds him of something. I reminds him of a pome “Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to told. Her early leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay”.  


Memory Moment

This is a memory moment because Pony Boy thought of a poem that he read once. He was thinking about the poem when Johnny and Pony Boy was looking at the sunset. I know thins because on page 77 it states "I was remembering a poem I’d read once”. On page 77 the pome is there "Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to told. Her early leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay”.  This proves that he had a flash back. 

4Q #3. The Outsiders Summary.


Summary

As they were running away, Phony Boy boy was thinking about Soda Pop and Darrel. He really wants to go back home but he can’t. They stopped at a church to hide out, it took them 45 minutes to get there. Pony Boy and Johnny is really scared. They were only think about Two Bit, Sodapop, Darrel. They think that they might not see theme again. They just want to get this over with. They do not have enough money or food and they are really nervous. I think that they should've think twice before action


Contrast and Contradictions

The is more like a contrast and contradictions. I say this because Johnny did not mean to kill one of the Sco, he just reacted because out his hole life he had family problems with his family. He did not mean to kill Bill. I know this because on page 57, it states “I was shaking. I want a cigarette, I want a cigarette. I want a cigarette, We had smoked out last pack.” This states that they are really nervous and they did not know what to do.

4Q Summary 2. The Outsiders.



Summary.

Pony Boy went home really late and Darrel was really scared. When he got home Darrel was yelling at him, and then Darrel slapped Phony Boy in the face. Darrel was the first person that ever hit Phony Boy, so Phony Boy ran alway to Johnny’s house. Then Phony Boy told Johnny that they where running alway. Johnny had no questions, he just went with the flow. Phony Boy went back home, but he is not talking to Darrel no more. Johnny and Pony Boy was at the park and they seen the blue Mustang, it was the Soc. The same ones that beat up Johnny. They came out the car and they were mucking fun of them because they are Greaser. Pony Boy got really made and he started to make fun of the Soc. Johnny got really scared, so they try to make a run for it but they caught them. They were drowning Pony Boy  and Johnny killed one of them, because they where drowning Pony Boy. They other Soc ran when Johnny killed Bob. They went to Buck house to get stuff for they can run away. Buck was Dally's rodeo partner. He gave them a gun and 50 dollars. They are on there was to Jay Mountain.

Pony Boy is a brave kid. The reason why I say this is because nothing will not get in his way for nothing. He does not give up what he started. He will always have a plane fort everything and he always be there for his friends and family. Something with Johnny. He had Pony Boys back when the Soc was drowning him. I know this because in the book on page 55, it states " you know what greaser is? Bob ask. White trash with long hair". Then Pony Boy said "You know what a Soc is? White trash with    mustangs and madras."This proves that he has his back no matter what. You know what they say, "Family comes first then friends."

Tolerance: 
The ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. 

How can you be more tolerance??


There are many way to be tolerance. Have you ever heard the quote, that states "Don't judge a book by its cover". That is like anther word for tolerance. I say that because, people judge others by the way they look, talk, dress, even being LGBT. If you don't know what LGBT, it means Lesbian, Gay,Bisexual, Transgender. They are there own person and you can be whoever you want.

As a day went by, Soda seen Johnny pants on the street and then he seen Johnny laying on the ground face fist. Soda funder him over. Someone had beaten him badly.The Socs did this to him. The gang came and they seen Johnny on the ground bloody, they already know what happened from the start because the seen it before. That is way Johnny is really scared to do thing by himself. Pony Boy trust Sherri because she understands him better just like his 16 year old brother Soda. Soda had a horse name Mickey Mouse when he was 12 going on 13. Mickey Mouse was a mean horse, he use to kicked other horses and he gets himself into trouble. 


Memory Moment

In Chapter 2 they had Pony Boy had a flash back when Johnny was beaten by the Socs. I know this because on page 32 it states,” Johnny’s face was cute up and bruised and swollen, and there was a wide gash from his temple to cheekbone. He would carry that scar all his life. His whits T-shirt was splattered with blood, I forgotten I was talking to Sherri about Johnny.” This proves that Pony Boy had a flash back, when Johnny was beaten by the Socs.

Q4 #1 The Outsiders Summary


Summary

In my book, there's is a kind name Pony Boy. He wants to look like Paul Newman because he looks tough. He has a second oldest brother name Soda, who is 16 going on 17. He has a oldest brother name Darrel. Pony Boy likes Soda more because he understand him better then Darrel. They get jumped by the Socs, they are the West-side rich kids. Soda, Darrel and Pony Boy are Greaser. That mains they are like hoods, they steal things, and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations, and have fight ice in a while. But Pony Boy does not do that type of stuff. His mom was and dad were killed in an auto wreck. Soda and Pony Boy stay out of trouble. Two-Bit Mathews is one of Soda and Pony Boy gang and he is the oldest, his real name is Keith and he like school. There is a kid name Johnny and his is 16 years old and Pony Boy say that “Johnny was scars of his own shadow”. Because he was Jumped my the Socs. He does not live in a good place. Steve Randle was 17, tall and lean, cocky, smart and  Soda’s best friend. His’s specialty was cars and he could lift a hubcap and Soda and Steve Randel work at the same gas station together and they get more customers “than any other in town”. Soda does not get drink, he just gets drunk by plain living and he understand everybody. Pony Boy saids “If I had to pick the real character of the gang, it would be Dallas Winston,” and He is small, together, colder, and meaner. There is no gang rivalry in the Southwest. Johnny is the last gang member, he is the smallest next to Pony Boy  He is the gang’s pet, “everyone’s kid brother. His dad is alway beating him up and hid mom ignored him. Soda dropped out of school. Soda had a girlfriend, he want to marry her after Pony Boy is finish with school

Character Analysis 

Boy’s brother, Soda is not a bad kid. He sticks up for you younger brother Pony Boy. He does not want nothing to go wrong with him. Pony Boy really likes Soda because he have his back for everything. I know this because In the book on page 8 it states “Easy, Pony Boy, They ain’t gonna hurt you no more.” This proves that Soda haves Pony Boy’s back through thick and thin. Pony Boy does not really like his older brother Darrel because he is not a good brother to him. He does not support him. I know this because, on page 13 it says “If I brought home B’s he want A’s and if I got  A’s, he wanted to be sure they stayed A’s”. This proves that he does not support him. Darrel wants a lot from Pony Boy, but he does not deserve it.

Luke "determined" his parents shouldn't have suffer because of what he is set out of to find a way to get out from Scream Street. His "mum" and dad can go bake to her their safe normal life.

The characters of this book are Luke Watson, Cleo Farr, Resus Negative, Dixon Samuel, Skipstone, Sir Otto Sneer, Alston and Bella Negative, Efa everwell, Doug, Dr Skully and Mr. and Mrs. Watson. I feel most caring towards the characters of Mr. and Mrs. Wastson.

The ending of the book was elected and I wouldn't have preferred a different ending because I really like the types of books that have an ending that makes you want to read the next book.

Q3 #3 Summary of the book "Out Side In"


Summary

There are times that 13 years old Lynn wishes that she could do just that, right now. Her feckless New Agley mom has just ended her relationship with solid, "dependable clive", lost her job and worst of all, totally forgotten to get Lynn’s passport, so Lynn can’t go to Choirfest in Portland. Marooned without her BFF’s. The Vancouver teen finds an unexpected friend in Blossom, a mysterious girl who saves her with the Heimlich at the stop. She leads Lynn down something of a “rabbit hole” to her home, a cozy, makeshift shelter in a park and where she lives with her dogs, her two brothers and a man called “Fossick”,  who is not her father legally or biologically but who is thoroughly devoted. 

This book is written in second person. I know this because it don't say "I" that much in the book, it only shows names. For example "Jean and Shakit tried on their outfits and Rob said they looked beautiful and scary". That is how I know this book is  written in second perspective.

Q3 #2 Rotten School The big blueberry barf off! Summary 2


Summary

Beast was allergic to pies. It worked, now he only had the problem on how to het the pies. He staged another play with his friend Chipmunk in front of Mr. Mollena, the cooking teacher. Chipmunk told her that  he was close to his birthday and his mother wouldn't be able to bake him a blueberry pit fir his birthday. Ms. Mollena was very sympathetic and decided to make her class cook 25 blueberry pies and let Chipmunk pick out the one he wanted; that night, after the pies were made, all of the Rotten School students "except the girls" snuck to of the dorms for the contest. To make the long story short, Beast won and there was a LOT of mess. Sherman handed the watch to Bernie and celebrated with his friends; just in the middle of the celebrating with his friends, in the middle of the celebrating, Ms. Mollena walked in. She was furious on how all the pies were missing because they were going to be used in a fundraiser, to avoid getting in trouble, Bernie donated the golden watch to Ms. Mollena, she thought, it was generous, but she made him do a fundraiser. To avoid getting in trouble. Bernie donated the golden watch to Ms. Mollena, she thought it was generous, but she made him clean up the cafeteria anyways, Bernie felt bad that he didn't get the watch, but he felt great that he beat Sherman in a contest.

The book is written in first person. I know this because in the book it says a lot of I. For example "I started to eat my breakfast", "I have to have it.", "I won the bet." So this book is in first person writing.

Q3 #2 Rotten School The Big Blueberry Barf-off !

Summary

 In my book, there is a kid name, Bridges is the main character. One day he was walking out in the Rotten School campus and saw Sherman Oaks, he is the enemy . He was showing off his new watch, which had 42 functions and was made out of gold. Bernie would do anything to get the watch. He tried to trick him many times to trade watches, but Sherman was to smart. What was even worse to Bernie was that April May June was hang in out this Sherman. After a while Bernie decide to try to het the watch through a contest, a pie eating contest. He was going to make Beast go for his team because he could eaton stack of pies in one minute. Bernie told Sherman about the idea , but he refused because he knew it was a trick. Bernie had another idea. He staged a little play in the cafeteria to make Sherman believe that Beast was allergic.

What I think about Bridges is that he is a sneaky boy. I say that because, he tries to take Sherman watch by playing tricks on him. There are many way to get a watch like Sherman but he is just doing it that hard way. Maybe if Bridges just ask his parents to get him a watch like that he’ll be happy. I know this because in the book it states “ they’re having dance lesson at the Student Center in Saturday.” That means he wants to get closer to the watch.

Character analysis of Angelina Jolie.
Angelina Jolie is kind hearted person. The reason why I say that is because she was part of the  UNHCR. She made a lot of goodwill trips for the organization. In the book is shows her feeding child ten and given then clothing. Another reason why she has a kind heart is that she adopted two kids. This proves that she care about other people and the kids that she adopted and how they are raised.

The book that I'm reading is called " Angelina Jolie, Celebrity with a Heart." Its by Michael A. Schuman. The book is an biography.
Angelina Jolie was born on June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles, California. Her real name is Angelina Jolie Voight. Fun fact, Angelina means " pretty little angel"in Italian. Her nickname is Angie. Jolie's father, Jon Voight, began making hit movies in the late 1960s. Jon Voight married a young actress named Marcheline Bertrand in 1971. Jolie emphasized that is not true. She said, "My mother is as far from French Parisian as you can get... She's part Iroquois Indian, from Chicago. She grew up in a bowling alley that my grandparents owned." They had a son in 1973. He's name is James Haven Voight. When James was born, Betrand devoted her life to being a mother. When Angel was born in 1975, Bertrand had given up her dreams of acting. Before Angelina was a year old, her father decided he no logger wanted to be married. So, Voight left his family, he left Bertrand to raise two preschool children on her own. Voight was no longer part of Bertrand's life, the two did not divorce until 1978. Los Angeles  has a smog problem, which can take a toll on people's bathing's health, so Bertrand took her two kids and settled in a place with cleaner are. Palisades, New York. Palisades is a quiet town about 25 miles north of bustling New York City. To Angelina, It did not affect her from Moving to a new home. In the 1980s, Angelina had bit part with her father in the movie "Looking to Get Out". She moved with her family to Beverly Hills, California enrolls in Lee Strasberg  Theater Institute, and she had dropped out of Beverly Hills Hight School briefly. She went back to school, but she said " Thirteen and fourteen years old, that  was a bad time." She was experimenting with drugs. She collected knives and cropped with her unhappy life, she even cute herself on a regular basis. She said "For some reason the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe, feeling alive, feeling some kid of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me".

I like reading this type of books because, you can learn about someone's life and how he/she became famous. As you read this trips of books, you can learn what to do or what not to do. The interesting part of this book so far is that Angelia Jolie's father is famous, and now Angelia Jolie is famous. She works with her father, for she can be better at acting. I know this because she had "bit part with her father in the movie Lookin' To Get Out".
