My book report is on the book ‘Maniac Magee’ by Jerry Spinelli. The reason why I chose ‘Maniac Magee’ is because I love Jerry Spinelli books. They’re always very good. ‘Maniac Magee’ is kind of a ‘warm-your-heart’ book. I’ll tell you a little about the story‚ but not a lot‚ because I don’t want to spoil it for you! The story is about a young boy that runs away from his new home and the few new friends he meets along the way. Some of the characteristics about Magee are that he is sad a lot

Literature may be a world away from home— getting caught up in the ballad of love or whisked away in the adventure. Despite that‚ one of the best qualities of it is also how much a person can take away from that story‚ regardless of the reality of it. Many books call for action; others provide a unique perspective that the reader can learn from‚ and moreover‚ just as history has foretold‚ it’s imperative to shift a tunnel-vision view to a funnel-vision view. What Sara Gruen may have intended to show in “Water

took six years for Capote to investigate and write‚ and it put an incredible amount of pressure on Truman‚ so much so that he never published another book again. Even though in cold Blood doesn’t have a great ending‚ the book was worth reading because of the intriguing plot‚ dark tone‚ and the interesting characters.

When they were inside the plane should have the Stephen and Dad done what they have done or should they have done something else? (pg. 28-29) Personally I believe that they should have done something else. In the story they let free the slaves. Not only that‚ they also took the car keys from the slavers and gave it to them and used 3 rifle shots to make the slavers not shot them. Stephen and Dad could have killed the slavers and taken all their stuff. Considering the slavers have a car‚ slaves
