Text to Self - Ellie's Story

The book I am reading is Ellie's Story by W. Bruce Cameron. Since Ellie was a puppy, she has been trained as a search-and-rescue dog by Jakob, her owner. She finds people and saves them, it's what she's meant to do. Throughout the book, Ellie learns more and more about her job as a search-and-rescue dog. She encounters many distractions while working, but manages to focus on what she is supposed to be doing. Ellie is sometimes confused about what Jakob really wants from her, but that is why they keep training.

Ellie reminds me of my dog because Ellie doesn't fully understand what Jakob means when he trains her. But when she does something right, she gets a reward. This is just like my dog because he didn't understand what I meant when I was teaching him to "sit." So I kept trying to get him to do what I said. And when he did, I rewarded him with a treat, and told him he was a good boy. The dog-sitter Georgia, reminds me of me because she loves dogs and is so happy to see Ellie when she comes through the door. This is exactly what I would do because I love my dogs and taking care of them. I am always happy to see them when I get home. When Jakob got Ellie in the beginning of the book, he took care of her and gave her attention. This happened in my own life when I got my dog, I gave him all my attention and played with him for the rest of the day.

I can't believe the amount of people that go up to a dog that's working and they don't even realize it. They don't know that they are really distracting the dog from doing important business. I felt sad when Jakob took Ellie to the cemetery. He was feeling very sad and Ellie could recognize it. So she felt sad with him. I like the way the author wrote the book from Ellie's perspective, because it shows all the things that she doesn't understand and what is going through her head.

"if your reading this its too late"

"If you're reading this it's too late" is by pseudonymous bosch , is about a fight between max-ernst and ms.mauvais the two main characters . The book starts off with the narrator talking about a secret being let out and could cause danger to the reader and the person in the story , making the plot thicken and making the reader wonder "what's the secret" . in the book so far whats happens is , one of the main characters named max is in a very lucid dream that she wakes up from , feeling like she's being haunted by the thought of the evil ms.mauvais . The problem in this story is similar to an event that happened in history. Like the watergate scandal , in the watergate scandal richard nixon had a big secret going on. He was try to make sure it didn't get out just like in the beginning of my book big there's an ancient dangerous secret going on and if it was let out it would cause chaos . In both of the incidents there's a lot of chaos but...

     I just finished reading Keeper Of the Lost Cities , which is the first book of Shannon Messenger's series. The book series has eight books so far. I am currently reading the second book of the series. The book is about a 12 year old girl named Sophie. She has been able to read minds since she hit her head really hard when she was 5. For the protection of herself she keeps it a secret. When she is out and about she sees a boy, as a group of small kids walk by their thoughts give her a headache, forcing her to push her head to cease the pain. Looking up, she sees that the boy did the same thing. They leave the building and he tells her that she is a telepath (mind reading ability) and that she is an elf.

Text to Self- The Injustice

The book I am reading is The Injustice by James Patterson and Emily Raymond. The Injustice is about four kids who are expelled, but aren't guilty. Theo, Jude and Parker are all expelled for a picture that got posted, it picture was posted on Theo's Twitter, Jude was in the picture for peeing on school property in the mascot costume, and Parker is intoxicated on school property.The only real one guilty is Parker, because they can't prove that Jude is guilty, and Theo was not on the Twitter. The fourth person is Sasha who got expelled for apparently steeling eighty pounds of quarters from a Coke machine, but she never had the money, and wouldn't need it because she has a job. They are all fighting to prove there innocents which they all deserve.  The Injustice reminds me of my own life. This is because a long time ago my parents where sued from a ex-employee for something they never did. My parents where accused of steeling a white work van the employee gave them and ...
