Blog #3 Exit Here

i finally found out what happen in Hawaii. I wasn't expecting that. I liked the book a lot since it took place in Iowa and it wasn't a true storie. The book just showed that things change all the time. It also showed how much drugs can take control of everything and everybody you know in a split second. The kids father wanted him to follow in his steps an go to USC the kid didn't want to because he didn't want to live up to his father expectations he did what he wanted to do. i thought that was pretty awesome. i enjoyed the book a lot some parts were dry but in the end it i just wanted to know what happen in Hawaii so i kept reading it and i did find out in the end. if you wanna know what happen in Hawaii pick up the book and i'll promise you will never want to put it down.

The end of A Season of Miracles was really good. Just walking on the beach and talking to your friend about anything is satisfying. I could pictured this in a movie. I like walking on a beach. I never seen the movie of this book and I will now since I read this book. The questions that I would ask the author are did you every experience little league like in the book? Because I like baseball stories and like to know peoples reasons of writing books.

Surrender

When it came down to the end of the book, I was not satisfied. Don't get me wrong, the book was really REALLY well written. There were times when I thought to my self, "Wow, this lady really knows how to use the English Dictionary to her advantage." I think that is why I kept reading this book. It was very well wrote. IF I actually got the chance to meet Sonya Hartnett, I think the one thing I would ask her would be, why did you write in the style you did. Why did you have it as one chapter is one of the main characters point of view, and then the next chapter would be the next main character. Overall, I would recommend this book to someone else, to someone who is a very skilled reader, and understands some large words. Very well written Sonya, very well.

My book was a exciting book, I loved it!! The beginning was a little slow, towards like the 3rd chapter it started to get really good! What made me really mad is Sophie the girl in my book waited a year to see this guy that she goes on vacation with every year, and had known him since she was little. Well he kissed her their vacation on the beach... This year was suppose to be different because she thought they had feelings for each other well turns out he brought his girlfriend on vacation with him and told Sophie that he thinks of her as a sister... I'm excuse me what u kissed her and then told her that he thinks if her as a sister... Excuse me  like no that made me so mad..!!!!
My questions to the author would be
Why isn't there a second book, to tell me what happens between Ethan and Sophie?
Overall it was a great book and I would totally read it again and I recommend to all the women that enjoy the romance novels :)

Do Hard Things... but how? That is exactly how the book ends. Through out the whole book the authors show examples of teens and young adults doing hard thing in their lives. The authors end the book in a very satisfying way, they explain the plan of action needed to do hard things.

1. Identify what you need to be honest about and to whom.

2. Decide what negative patterns or actions need to end.

3. Recognize people who can help you get to where you want to be and connect with them.

4.Figure out one or two key things step that, once taken, will back going back a lot harder then going forward.

5. Expect success.

These 5 steps are just the starting points on the road to overcoming low expectations the authors explain.

The only question that I want to ask the authors is how did they come up with this stuff. This book is a good challenging read. I would recommend it to anyone who want to make a difference in the world but just cant figure out where to start. 

1/3 book

A man keeps calling her phone, giving her directions and she must do what she is told or else she'll be punished. She picks up a young man who is knows more then what she does. Sue doesn't take any chances on risking losing her daughter. While the cold wind whistled, her cheeks turned red, her hands were cold from digging in the dirt. As she walks to the car she sees that there's someone in the car. It's Marilyn, she has been beaten and was bleeding heavily from the head. She had been struck there with a blunt object. On the corpse there's a letter on her stomach it has "punished" written on it. Talk about jumping out of your skin. Sue continues to drive to the destinations she was instructed to do.

Being a SEAL is not as glorified as it sounds. After Wasdin escaped death multiple times in Somali and Mogadishu he struggled to live life as a normal person but soon found something he was good at and would support his family. After reading this book I now view military men differently and SEALS are heroes to the extreme , who often endure the most challenging missions. But after all of Wasdins time and stories that he shared during his tours in Iran,Somali, and Mogadishu I began to form an opinion against the government about Veterans. In many cases Veterans struggle after wars,so why is it that the government does not do more financially for higher ranking and classified level SEALS. In my opinion a decorated and honorable SEAL should have no worries financially as a Veteran , because they have paid their dues and put their lives on the line for their country to the fullest. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and his personal life stories and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys war stories or simply just like action!
