Text to Text - Ellie's Story

I am reading the book Ellie's Story by W. Bruce Cameron. It is about a German Shepherd named Ellie, training to become a search-and-rescue dog. She has to find people and save them. During the book, Ellie learns more about her purpose in life but still gets confused about the tasks given to her. A scene in this book reminds me of another book called Best Friend Next Door by Carolyn Mackler, which is about a girl whose best friend had just moved away making her life miserable. Now a new girl has just moved in next door, will they become friends? The girls are so alike in many ways but also very different, so will it be a good friendship or not?

In Ellie's Story, Ellie is searching to find a kidnapper and bring him back to the other police officers. When her and Jakob find this man, he pulls out a gun and shoots Jakob in the stomach. He falls down and Ellie attacks the man once she realizes that he is injured. More police officers come to see what happened and call a helicopter to take Jakob away. Ellie is very confused and wonders why she isn't going with him. The officers take Ellie back to the kennel and leave her with frequent visits, but still no Jakob. She isn't enjoying it and wants to be with him again. This scene reminds me of a similar scene in Best Friend Next Door because Hannah's best friend has just moved away and she doesn't like it, she wants to see her again. Hannah is like Ellie because they are both missing someone and have a miserable life because of it.

I love the way Ellie attacked the kidnapper because Jakob was hurt and how she misses him when he is gone, it shows how loyal and caring a dog can be. The part when Ellie is sad and lonely when Jakob is gone is very realistic because pets get really lonesome and bored when their owners are gone or away. This story teaches how change can be hard and you will be able to overcome it soon. I felt sad when Jakob got hurt because Ellie attacked the man and bit up his arm, showing loyalty.

"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 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.

In both of the incidents there's a lot of chaos but...
