Colfax Walk Connection

I was walking down Colfax with my class

When I see a person looking at me

I was picking up trash and so was he

I was at a bus stop picking up a Doritos bag

He was picking up a two liter bottle and throwing it away

I wondered why he was picking up trash

I bet he was wondering the same for us

I think he was doing the same as us

Just trying to make a difference

READY PLAYER 1

By Ernest Cline

Genre Science Fiction

       Ready Player One is about a futuristic world that has major global problems. People don't like to be out in the real world because it is an ugly place. Almost everybody in the real world owns an OASIS, a virtual utopia. The creator had died but before he died, he created a quest. The first person to complete the quest won all of the creator's fortune. The main character(Wade Watts) decided to devote his life to completing all three gates and completing the quest. Along the way he makes friends, and plenty of enemies. His largest enemy is IOI. They are a large group that want to take over IOSIS and change it. Along the way IOI tries to kill Wade, and not just in the virtual world.

       I really liked this books and it is one of my favorite books of all time. The plot was amazing along with the writing. Ernest Cline(author) made me feel everything that Wade felt. The description in the book was great, and every description reminded me of a character in a video game I have played. I could not stop reading this book and I had a few late nights reading. This book has some adult language and uses the f-word a lot.

Crossover

by Kwame Alexander 

             "With a bolt of lightning on my kicks . . .The court is SIZZLING. My sweat is DRIZZLING. Stop all that quivering. Cuz tonight I’m delivering," wraps teenage Josh Bell. Josh has played basketball for a long time with his twin brother. They look exactly the same but Josh has dread-lox. They both have a love for the game and they know each other super well but when Jordan(Josh's brother) gets a girlfriend he starts to drift away from Josh. Josh does not know how to react so he decides to react with anger. During the game he passes the  ball into Jordan's face but not for him to shoot, he did it out of pure anger. His parents take him out of the game even though he is the star of the team. They are on the way to winning nationals but Josh's dad is starting to have health troubles but he still refuses to go to the doctor. This book was a short book and I would recommend this book to anybody, even if you don't know basketball.

The Curious Incedent of The Dog in The Night Time

            This is the second part of this book because it is my book group book. I like this book because it is a mystery and so I am always trying to figure out what is happening. It made this book really fly by and so I read it really quickly.  This book is a pretty quick read and I think anybody in the class would enjoy reading it.

            It was interesting to see how much the dad was hurt after Chris loses all trust in him. He was obviously hurt and all he wanted was to gain trust back but Chris was very stubborn about it and thought he was not safe.
