Title of the Book: Three Men in a Boat
Name of Author: Jerome K. Jerome
Setting: Kingston to Oxford
Main Characters: 1. George 2. Harris 3. J. 4. Montmorency
Best-liked Character and Why: In the story, I like Tom the best. He is a cat whom Montmorency chased. Because of what he did to Montmorency, he doesn’t want to hear a word “cat” anymore. His character gave me a lesson – It doesn’t matter how small you are, what matters most is on how you can change the bigger and proud ones to respect you.

Conflict: The three men decided that they need a change. They decided to go on a boat experience. After deciding what to do for a change, they brainstormed for some of the things they must do. First, they decided where to sleep. George and J. decided to sleep outdoors and got excited about the idea, but, Harris being practical disagreed to the idea and said that what if it rains. So they decided to sleep in an inn. Next, they considered the food. They had all agreed not to bring an oil stove and cheese for some reasons. George arranged the menu for their breakfast, lunch and dinner. Harris felt dismay when he knew that there will be no tea-time for breakfast. But later on, George agreed to have tea-time in the evening.

Most Interesting Part of the Story: For me, the most interesting part of the story was when Montmorency, J.’s dog, chased after a large black cat named Tom with a disreputable-look. It gave me such interest because of its humor. When Tom was being chased by Montmorency, Tom didn’t hurry up instead, he walked quietly as if no one is after him. J., who witnessed the incident, saw Tom looking at Montmorency from afar with a cold look. Instead of getting closer to Tom,

    I read the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. The story begins in a small town in Sterling, New Hampshire. At the high school, you read about a routine day of students in classes. As a student runs out of class to leave for an orthodontist appointment a loud bang goes off in the parking lot, which turns out to be a bomb set off in Matt's car. The students are confused by the noise and gun shots are fired. Patrick, the only detective on the Sterling police force (which is just stupid to have only one), hears on his radio about the shooting at Sterling High School. Patrick sees several students on the floor, surrounded in blood. The boy is dead and has a gunshot in his head while his girlfriend, Josie wakes up and cant…

    Kody Scott grew up in South Central L.A. during the nineteen-sixties and seventies, soon after the creation of the Crips. Raised in poverty without a father, and a full family raised solely by his mother, Kody Scott led the stereotypical "ghetto" life, a poor and broken home. However he does not blame this on his own personal decision to join the Crips while only eleven year's old. The allure of the respect and "glory" that "bangers" got, along with the unity of the "set"(name for the specific gang) is what drew him into the gang. Once joined, he vowed to stay in the "set" for life, and claimed that banging was his life. After many years of still believing this, he eventually realized that the thug life was no longer for him, and that gangs were a problem on society and the "Afrikan" race(page 382-383).…

    A. From my experiences reading novels, dramas, poetry, and short stories, I think the purpose of fiction is to entertain; to provoke thought. I think students study fiction because it is very entertaining, and can teach many different lessons. People read fiction stories because it lets them get lost in a story that’s not theirs. I believe people tell stories to express their imagination and thoughts.…
