So far in Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen the main character Cole Matthews is put on an uninhabited island in Alaska. He was put there when he decided to join circle Justice Instead of being put in to jail. While on the island there was a cabin that was built for him to live in and it had all the supplies that he needed to survive. Then After a few hours on the island he was still angry about being there so he ran in to the cabin and covered everything with coarsen and found the matches and burned the cabin down with all the supplies that he needed to survive.

The Long Rain
Authors Note: This is about how a kid’s summer is ruined by the constant rain.
This summer was a very weird one because it rained almost every other day. If it had stopped raining the ground was to muddy to even play outside so we couldn’t play outside. Also since we had a river in are back yard it started to flood in to are yard and so we could not play outside. And just up the river there was a dam. Days of rain had swelled the river, floods threatened to break loose. So my mother told me that if I go outside I could not go by the river. So now the rain has just about rend my summer and now I have nothing to do inside.

SEAL Warrior Prediction
Authors Note: This piece is about the book SEAL Warrior and what I thought what was going to happen later in the book.
The book SEAL Warrior by Thomas H. Keith is about the life story of a Navy SEAL during the Vietnam War. The main character in this book wants to be a Navy SEAL so he joins the Navy and is told that he has to meat cretin requirements. One of the requirements that he has to meat is to have two years in the fleet. Then after he gets back from his first deployment he met up with some family friends and they were in the navy and new an officer that could get him in to SEALs training without the requirements.
When the main character got to seals training he had arrived two weeks before with some other people. He and the other people arrived at then so that they could have a 2 week conditioning class before the training. Then when the real training for class 30 started the author said “To this day I thank God that I went through the summer class, and I have a lot of respect for the men who survived the winter training.”
Next in SEAL Warrior I think that when the main character will gets out of seals training. When he dose I think that he is going to go to other trainings before he does his deployment. Then when he gets deployed he will go to Vietnam. That is the prediction that I made for this book

Dead Men’s Path
Authors Note: This is about what I thought might happen after the inspector looked at the school.
Dead Men’s Path by Chinua Achebe is about a man how is well educated and is the headmaster of a school in 1949. The school is not up to date with most of the other schools in the time. So the headmaster wanted to improve the school and he was being greedy and self centered on rebuilding the school. When he wants to get rid of the path that belonged to the tribe that lived in the aria. The path ran in front of the school and he wanted to get rid of it so he could clean up the school. But the villagers did not want him to destroy it so then when the inspector came they went and tore down some of the sheds and fences that belonged to the school. So the school did not pass the inspection.
Now I think that now that he does not have the school any more he will get fired from his job. And he will lose his family and the villagers will repair the school and have it the way they want it to be. Or they will just move the school to another location so it does not inter fear with their path. That is what I think is going to happen.

April Morning Compared to Lone Survivor
Authors Note: This is the comparison of the main characters from Lone Survivor and April Morning.
The main characters of April Morning and Lone Survivor have a lot in common. They have a lot in common they start fighting in their war. They both start to share the same lifestyle when they start fighting in the war even though there wars are in different time periods. One war is in the revolutionary war and the other is the war on terrorism.
The similarities that they share are the hard ships of the war and the way they are treated. The way they are treated is a big part of the story because everyone is against them and does not treat them fairly. To me those seem to play the biggest part of these two books.
The wars that they are fighting in are in two different time periods. Even though they are in different wars and time periods they share a lot of the same feelings. They also loose their friend and family in the wars. In April Morning the main character loses his dad in the war. In Lone Survivor the main characters a Navy SEAL behind enemy lines and is stuck there by himself with no help. That is just about as brutal as being in the revolutionary war with a musket bullets flying at you.
Adam Cooper from April Morning and Marcus Luttrell from Lone Survivor have a lot in common. They both have lost people who were close to them and they both served in a war. They both were also treated the same way throughout the book. But the one thing that is different thing between them is the time period that they lived in and the war that they served in.
Their differences are Their ages and the wars that they fight in. The main character from lone survivor is in the ware on tsarism and the war is not as violent as the revolutionary war. The main character from April morning is in the revolutionary war and the way that war is fought is much different war because of the time period. And the main character from lone survivor is about thirty and the main charicter from April morning is only 16 years old. So the wars that they fought in have different rules of the time period.

Adams childish acts
Anthers note: this piece is about how the main character acts in the story.
Adam is the main character in April Morning by Howard Fast and he is about 16 years old and he acts like a little kid and he treats every on like it to. Adam shows this in the early part of the book by putting a spell on the water even though he is told by his father not to do that. So that shows that Adam is not really reedy for any responsibility.
The climax of the story is when he joins the war with his father. I think this because he just wants to prove himself to his dad and he dose this by joining the war. But the climax is in the war when his father gets shot and dies and I thought that that was because Adam acts like a kid and is always trying to prove him self.

Granny’s Point of View
This is about how Adam acts and how he treats his family.
The argument that is used in this is good because it shows what the main character is like and how he acts. It also shows what kind of people he has grown up with. Also it shows how the family treats one another and the respect in the family. This is good because it sets up the story line and how the story may turn out if you know what the main character is like.
This argument is really good to me because I thought that it really described the main character. It shows that he acts like he is a little kid and he likes to make things into arguments. He shows that on page 7 because he talks back to his Grandmother. Then while they were eating diner he was talking back to his father. So he does act like a little kid.
The point of view from granny is different from Adams because all she really wanted to do is teach him not to speak the way he talks now. So grandma and Adam got into a fight about how he speaks to people and that is how I think that he got put in to the war.
Adam acts like a little kid and treats every one with disrespect. All Adams grandmother wanted was to teach him was respect and he made that in to an argument. To me that is why I think he got in to the war.
