Blood Bones And Butter Report
I have chosen to base my final project on the book Blood, Bones & Butter. I’ve decided on BBB because this is the book that I enjoyed reading the most this quarter. In addition, I found Gabrielle’s story very compelling and relatable because she is a woman. Also, Gabrielle spoke about having to cope and deal with family, career, as well as relationship issues, something most people can easily relate to.
My plan is to create a children/youth book based on BBB called “My Story Isn’t Over Yet”. I believe that young people can learn a lot from Gabrielle Hamilton’s life’s’ story. Gabrielle story was like a roller coaster ride. It was a journey of highs, lows, dips, and extreme changes yet, she managed to persevere. Eventually, Gabrielle

    Book Summary of Beyond Belief by Josh Hamilton

    For my 1st quarter book report I read “Beyond Belief” which is written by Josh Hamilton. Hamilton is a Major league baseball player who now plays for the Texas Rangers and was named MVP two short season’s ago. Josh is a premier center fielder and the captain of his team, for the average person you may think Mr.Hamiliton lives the ordinary life of a sports star , the pretty women , fancy cars , huge house’s and the six figure pay checks. Even though this may be true, living an everyday lifestyle was extremely difficult for Josh throughout his whole life , you would think someone who is so well respected and idolized by many fans throughout the world would try to live up to his expectations, but that was not the case for Josh , he was addicted to cocaine and struggled with many other addictions such as alcoholism and having anger issues with his loved ones. Josh wrote this book to express his feelings and give readers a point of view on how thing’s may not also be the same as it seems. So next time you judge someone just by their appearance, financial situation or even idolizing someone just by the way they perform a certain thing, you might want to think that over.…

    Hope Solo: Book Summary

    Yes, I would recommend this book to a friend because it was a very touching story. For example, Hope's father dying really showed how much she loved him. This book was easy to understand and to comprehend. The story was good for a young reader, not a more advanced reader. The story was a relatable vibe that a young athlete would understand. I would one hundred percent recommend this book to an athlete.…

    The Farming of Bones Summary

    Talking about the culture brought throughout this book, your looking at a Latin American culture, specifically the Dominican/Haitian cultures. As I read this book, beyond the many numerous ways she worded her sentences and how the characters spoke, they often spoke with a definant difference than you would hear here in common U.S. language. They would constantly use inferences to what they were talking about rather than being direct to what they were saying. Things like, “they say we are the burnt crud at the bottom of the pot.” –Amabelle, this is Amabelle talking to her lover, Sebastian, about how there’s talk about the field workers and the housemaids to the Dominicans, and them being “nothing”, inferring that they are poorer than the Dominicans. Or specifically, the title, “the Farming of Bones”, and mentioned also in the book, talking about how because after a day in the heat of the fields, dodging snakes and rats, brushing up against the razor sharp edges of the sugar cane, the workers find their skin is shredded, their bones being, “closer to the surface than the day before.” Another one being when there was talk about the massacre between men, when a man stood and said,”I’m one of those trees whose roots reach the bottom of the earth. They can cut down my branches, but they will never uproot the tree. The roots are too strong and there are too many.” There are also inferences, I believe in the beginning when they talk about, when Señora Valencia gives birth to twins and when the doctor finally arrives to check on the newborns' health, he says to Amabelle, "Many of us start out as twins in the belly and do away with the other." Here is where I feel another inference is posed. How Haiti and the Dominican Republic, racing for resources on the same island, can resemble like the twins in the same belly, both coming up at the same time, yet one to push the other…

    Bone Marrow Essay

    Additional complications may be developed if untreated. βt major can cause the bone marrow (the spongy material inside particular bones) to enlarge. Bone marrow is where a majority of the body’s blood cells are created. The bone marrow expands as it is trying to remunerate from perpetual anaemia. This unusual enlargement causes bones to become thinner, wider and brittle. If affected, bones, particularly certain bones of the face and the long bones of the arms and legs may develop irregularly (bone deformities). Facial bone deformities include a depressed bridge of the nose, a peculiarly prominent forehead (frontal bossing), overgrowth (hypertrophy) of the upper jaw (maxillae), resulting in the exposure of upper teeth, and full cheek bones (conspicuous…

    Pretty Little Liars Book Review

    The book I have chosen to do a review on will be on the New York Times best-seller novel written by Sara Shepard Pretty Little Liars. Pretty Little Liars is a drama/mystery book that was released in 2006 and has since then had rave reviews and been produced into a television series that is ongoing. The theme of the book is all about your secrets and how they can come back to haunt you and how they play an important role in your life. I choose to do this book because after watching the spin-off into a television series I was intrigued and curious on how it would differ from the television show. My first impression was “Wow! This is way better than the TV show” because of the little details added and the mesmerizing words I was baffled and fascinated on how the book would end.…
