The book‚ The Terrorist’s Son‚ written by Zak Ebrahim‚ made me feel bad for Z’s family because their life is also ruined because of their father’s actions.

Is this book just one unique story‚ or do all families not know of the terroristic plan and do all people in this situation chose a different path? My first question is does the family of the terrorists truly not know that their

The book I decided to read is The Things They Carried which was written by Tim O’Brien. The book is a bunch of connected short stories of a platoon of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The work is a piece of fiction that uses real names and includes the author himself as the protagonist. By doing this‚ the author meshes and blurs the non fiction in with the fiction‚ which makes the book feel like a war memoir. Overall‚ the book was interesting insight on the Vietnam War and a very good book to read.

1. When the book first starts off the book talked about mr. Peabody and how he catches the baseball teem. This reminds me of when I was a little girl and played t-ball and soft ball.

The Glass Castle‚ written by Jeannette Walls‚ is a wonderful book full of many different stories that made her childhood unique. This book is a memoir of the interesting and talented Jeannette Walls. The second chapter of the book begins with her‚ as a three year old‚ burning herself severely when making hotdogs for herself. I think that chapter just sets the tone of the story. Her crazy life was not so perfect even when she forced herself to believe it could be worse. How can it be worse when you
