The book I'm reading is "A Chet Gecko Mystery: The Mystery of Mr. Nice" by Bruce Hale. I think millions of people may have read this book because in 2007 and 2008 it was the best saling kids book. Also I think that alot of people have read it because almost every one chose this book when we did book talks. I would recommend this book to any one because first it is exciting, second is that it is like a normal school day but just as animals, and third it makes you think 'Sould he have done that? What would I do if i were him?'. A book I would like to read is a book called "A Child Named It". This book is not connect to the Chet Gecko series at all this, is a book I have been looking for in the class library to read. I found out about this book through a 7th grader in my school they were talking about it and what it was about. I think I have read 17 book through out this school year.

Winter Break Assignment: Watson’s Go to Birmingham

Byron the juvenile delinquent is a bad brother but has a nice side. Byron is a bad brother because of the way he treats his brother, Kenny and sister, Joetta. I think Byron has a good and bad side because everyone has a good and bad side but Byron only chooses to act one way which is bad to certain people. He is especially mean to mean and Kenny because they are younger than he is.

Byron is a bad brother and influence on Joetta and Kenny. On page 82 Byron cursed at Kenny for talking. Byron said “I thought I told your little jive a--- to shut the h--l up and enjoy the d—mn cookie. Now do it.” Kenny probably felt Byron wasn’t the best brother. On page 17, Byron kissed the car mirror and his lips got stuck on the mirror. His mom was worried and started screaming to their father, Walter, saying “You gotta get this boy to the hospital.” This proves that he has a caring family but he is tired of being around them all of the time. Perhaps Byron likes to impress his friends by trying to be cool.

Although Byron has a good and nice side, Kenny describes Byron as stiff and scared to death of his mother who is about to set Byron on fire after she put Vaseline on him. This shows that he is afraid of one person which is his mother so she needs to teach him to do his best not to scare people younger than him. Their mother plays a mom and part-time dad in their life because their father is always at work. Maybe Byron needs to be around his father more so there is a father figure in his life. Byron can also consider making new friends that are focused on better things than Buphead. Buphead is Byron’s friend and he may be a bad influence because he tells Byron to do mean things.

If I were Byron’s parents I would have to send him to jail to show him where he doesn’t want to end up or maybe at a boot camp for troubled teens. Byron can be a horrible role model for Kenny by cursing at him and treating him mean. If I was Byron I would try to change everyone’s opinion on my behavior by acting with self control and being a better older brother to Kenny and Joetta. This family has a lot of issues besides Byron and they can fix their problems by being more considerate and kind to each other. Byron should change his behavior before his loses his family’s trust.

A non- fiction book I read was the book "YES WE CAN", a biograph of Barack Obama by Garen Thomas. This book was published in July 2008 a fue months into his election champaign and before he was President Elect on November 4, 2008. This book talks about how he was home schooled and his mom would wake him up at about 3:00 am and would teach him until 9:00 am or sometimes 11:00 am. Also how when his fahter died in a car cash. Then at the end of his year in high school his mother died of cancer. Also how he went to three colleges (Harvard Law School, Columbia University, and Occidental College). This book also talked about him being Senator of Illinois. The last thing it talked book was Michelle Obama and their two daughters, also his road to become President of the United States.

I read this book because I was forced by mom, but as I got in to the I read it because Barack Obama had a hard life his dad died and his mom didn't have alot of money to go to a good elementry school. I like non- fiction better because it has alot of adventure and crazy events ,but that could really happen. I would like to read Caribeania pioneer, sings, and sports players I think we should read about the Caribeans history and famous people because they arent't be told.

In 2010 I don't have hope for this year to be good. I first don't have hope because 2009 hasn't shown me that something good is going to happen, this year I am I am just turning 12 there's nothing special about that. I also think that Barack Obama is not go to do anything about the economy, he did a good job on health care now all we need i to do now is fix the economy and Global Warning, then the world will be one big happy place to live. I also think this year doesn't have a good out look because one of the greatest performers in the history of R&B and Pop. I think that This year for me is going to be special, I plan on not being in trouble all of the time. I am also going to try to get my grade average up in each class.

2010 is going to be good for me, I don"t know if it is going to change for some one else but for me I want a fresh start so i can say: This I the New and Improve CHASE REED of 2010. This year I want to be more successful, because of different motivations, feel so ambitious, I can make anything possible. This year I hope there is less violence. I also hope for the troops in war win and come home as soon as possible. I also hope people decide finally that hate verses hate equals hate. Everyone says it but never apply it to them self. I also hope the Cleveland Cavalier beats ht Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals if they make it.

The book I am reading is called "Dairy of a Wimpy Kid: Greg Heffley's Journal" this book is funny and is good its like the book was specially made for me. This book probably screaming my name saying "Chase come to me. Read me I am the the best book you will ever find." Now that I have read the book I am alreadly planning on reading every book in that series. In the book the funniest part was when he was excited to be sitting between two girls and they were passing notes to each and they were saying how much he was a dork. He also said that on the first day of school be early so that you can have a good perminate seat. At the beggining was also funny when he was explaining why he had the word "Dairy" on the front of the book.

I think that Jeff Kinney may not have been a dork but he is to shy and doesn't care about first impreesion. If I were Kenny I would even know it to late to go from dork to cool. Maybe he should get a trainer to train him to out run Bryce so he could be cool for once.
