The Most Dangerous Game/The Child By Tiger

After reading and discussing The Most Dangerous Game and The Child By Tiger, I've come to like The Most Dangerous game more. Both stories were in the middle of literary and commercial fiction but there was something about Most Dangerous game that kept me interested. The whole plot basically pulled me in. The Child by Tiger, on the other hand, had the same suspense to it, but it was just strange and creepy. But that's just my opinion.

High School Career

As I start the last year of my high school experience, I realize how much I've changed over there and not just academically, but physically and socially as well. Compared to freshman year, I've been doing a lot better in school overall. I think my study habits have gotten a lot better. I don't get distracted as much as I used to and I try my best to stay on top of all my work as much as possible. I'm paying attention a lot more in class now than I did freshman. I may have a some late or missing work every now and then, but I am determined to turn them in as soon as possible.I've gotten more in shape and as well. I feel like I've gotten faster and stronger than I have ever been before. I guess it's because reality has finally hit me and I realize that I have to work as hard as possible to be successful. I just need to keep reminding myself that this is not the end. It's actually the start of a whole new chapter of my life. I can't wait to find out what the future will bring.

Summer Reading :)


Hey everyone! I’m new to Blogger (obviously), so I thought I would write about how I felt about the two books I had to read over the summer for class. The two books I read were Salvage the Bones and Reservation Blues. My reaction to the titles weren’t very positive. I thought they would be really boring. But my mood changed as soon as I started reading Salvage the Bones first. It got more and more interesting as read. I could relate most of the event going on in the book to things that actually happen in society today. It was really enjoyable and I do plan on reading it again just for fun. Now Reservation Blues, on the other hand, was not as enjoyable for me to read. It was about these Spokane Indians that decided to form a band. Honestly, I feel like I lost interest when I found out that every chapter starts with the lyrics to one of the band’s songs. So it’s not the best book I’ve read, but it’s not the worst either. But I would recommend these novels to any young adult because everyone has their own unique taste in literature. Some might like them, while others would prefer to read something else.
