  2. I read the non fiction book Dangerous Animals. It was a good, infromational read. I thought the pictures were amazingly close up and personal with many animals. I recomend this to anyone in need for an animal project.

  4. I read Closed For the Season by Mary Downing Hahn. This book was a amazing book. I loved all the details. I also loved how she described the character, Silas. Silas is a scary,mysterious character. He is very concerned about money. This book is suspenseful. It was hard to put it down. I wanted to keep reading. I say everyone should read this book if you like mysteries.

  5. I read A Child Called It by David Pelzer. This book is very sad. I almost cried. It amazes me how David even survived. This book has a lesson to it. You should be thankful to even have food. David was starved for 10 days straight. He ate frozen school meals. He tried to steal kid's lunches. He was trying anything to stay alive because of his drunk mother. She even turned her sons against their own brother. It is just so sad. He's a inspiration. This book was great.

  30. kirtrice brewton,Oprah WinfreyMarch 11, 2010 at 6:03 AM

    Oprah is a very rich woman. she got her first five homes in only 14years. When oprah was only 3years of age, she gave her first speech at church"Jesus Rose on Easter Day". Oprah did not like the way she looked. She said that she went to sleep with cotton balls in her nose, just to change the size of it. Oprah gave back to many children and also adults. Many people believe that oprah will soon let go of her talk show and become a hollywood actress

  37. i read the underground.. it is a slavery book kinda mysterious but very interesting. its about two teenagers who are two different kinds of people. Stephen Bishop is an eighteen year old who thinks he has all the freedom he can get. Charlotte doesnt think that him or her have the kind of freedom she wants or expects.. so she decides to try to escape with other hurt runaway slaves. She wants to involve Stephen and the Mammoth cave too but she doesnt know whether Stephen is that type of person she thinks or is hopeing he is.. so if yu want to read it go ahead.. its really good but rather long.

    Iverson made HISTORY by making a beating a record of scoring 40 points in 5 conference games in a row which means he brook the previous record of three games set by hall of fame center WILT CHAMBERLAIN. IVERSON was the only player named on every balloyt and the first player since MICHEAL JORDAN IN 1993 TO LEAD THE LEAGUE IN SCORING AND STEALS.
