Dear Art Spiegelman,

            Why don't you want live with your father and take care of him? He is an old man and is at his last few years of life. He be living alone right. You could take your wife, Francoise to live with you and your father or you could bring him to live with you. You can't blame him for burning all of the diaries that your mother kept. They could have brought back a lot of happy memories that made him sad. I think that you she bring him to live with because like he feels the regret of burning the diaries, you will regret not bringing him to live with you and taking care of him.

                                                                                   

                                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                                                    Bryan Solis

Dark Angel by David Klass

Dark Angel is about a boy named Jeff who has a great life until he learned some bad news. His brother Troy was being released from prison and is going to live with them. When Troy comes to see Jeff play soccer he gets in to a fight with Tommy Fraser. The next day, the cops show up at their house and tell them that Tommy Fraser is missing and Troy is a suspect. Jeff is trying to find out what happened to Tommy and he will not be ready for what happens the closer he gets to finding out what happened to Tommy Fraser.

Connecting to the Main Character

The main character of the story has many different attributes. I think that I can relate to some of his attributes. Jeff feels that he can protect his loved ones but his girlfriend's dad does not believe him. I also think that i can protect my loved ones. Jeff can also be stubborn at times in the book. Jeff just can not understand that his girlfriend's dad does not want him to talk to her. Jeff is also someone who can get jeleous. He thinks now that Franchise Fraser is single, he will want to try to become Beth's boyfriend. These are some attributes that Jeff will try to fix.

Next Book

The next book i am going to read is Dark Angel by David Klass. It is about a boy named Jeff whose life was great until his brother came back. His brother Troy was being released from jail and he is going to live with them. He was arrested for murdering a boy when he was young. He had to tell his girlfriend about Troy and now that he did, she can not talk to him because her dad doesnt want her to. Now that Franchise Frasier is single, he is afraid that she will become his girlfriend. I picked this book because i had to read a book and i read the first couple of pages and it seemed interesting so now i am reading this for my second independent reading book of the semester.

Prediction to Breathing Underwater

I am half way through reading Breathing Underwater by Alex Flinn. So far a boy named Nick had a good life until he got in trouble for hitting his girlfriend. Now no one wants to be his friend. he is being forced to go to Anger Management classes and to write in a notebook. I left off reading when nick was about to get in a fight with Leo because Leo stood up for him and Nick didn't like that but Mario, the class teacher, told them to take it outside. I don't think Nick or Leo will do anything.Everything will just calm down they will go back to the class. This a great book to read.

Next Semester....

This semester I read Mexican WhiteBoy, Down, and Breathing Underwater. They were all really good books. Mexican WhiteBoy was about a boy named Danny who liked to play baseball but he didn't have control on the ball. Down was about a boy named Remy who was released from jail and faced more problems at home. Breathing Underwater was about a boy named Nick who hit his girlfriend and now has to spend time in an anger management class. Next semester I would like to read more mystery books. I just like finding out who was killed or how he was killed. There is just a lot of suspense in those types of books. Some books that have interested me are The Body of Christopher Creed, I Will Save You by Matt De La Pena,and Lockdown:Escape from Furnace by Alexander Gordon Smith. I hope to read those books next semester.
