But thanks to a mix up by one of the administrators instead of getting in trouble Donovan is sent to an Academy of Scholastic Distinction, a special program for gifted/talented kids.

Boy 21 themes

CAUTION THERE MAY BE SPOILERS IN THIS BLOG IF YOU WANT TO READ THE BOOK BE CAREFUL

        In Boy 21 there is two main lessons to learn. The first lesson in this book is to never judge a person before you get to know them. In this book Finley got invited to a dinner by his coach, without knowing what he was going to do. Finely then found out that he had to help out a kid that has gone mental after he lost his parents. The first time that Findly met Russ, Russ was a space freak and thought he was from another galaxy. Although he knows he is different Findly still helps him get familiar to the school and then becomes really good friends. Another well stated theme for this book is to do what's best for you and not for others. Towards the end of the book Findly gets off the bench andwalks out the gym because he wanted to see Erin in the hospital. Findly thought that being there for someone he loved would be better than playing a basketball game to get into the championship. I think Findly doing this really shows this.

Boy 21 signpost

Another signpost in the book boy 21 is a memory moment. A memory moment was when one is of the characters tells you a memory or has a flash back. In my case it's both Boy21 and Finley. This all happens when Boy21 takes Finley to a place to look at stars because Finley always does that with his girlfriend but while they are there Boy21 tells Finley what he remembered about his parent and also how and who killed them in California. Finley does the same thinking back even though he doesn't have many memories because all he talked about happened when he was little, Finley talked about what happened to his grandma and mom but mostly his mom and her story even though Finley's dad and grandpa made a rule to never talk about what had happened.

BOY 21 signpost

One sign post in boy 21 was a tough question. The question was should Finley stay in Belmont with Russell, Dad, and Grandpa or go start a new life with the women he loves and wants to spend the rest of his life with. The catch was he had to make the decision then and there because the train to the place that Erin was leaves in a couple of hours. So Finley has to choose between the women he loves but he would have to change his name and can't come back to Belmont, and there is a possiblility they they leave each other or Finley can stay in a ghetto town with his only family and friends. You will have to read the book to see where he goes.

This biography is abouts David beckham's life, Soccer star David Beckham was born on May 2, 1975, in London, England. A phenom almost from the moment he could first kick a soccer ball, Beckham began playing for Manchester United, England's legendary soccer team, at age 18, and was a starter by age 20. In 2007, he signed a five-year, $250 million contract with the L.A. Galaxy. One thing that wasn't in the book was that in May 2013, he announced plans to retire. This is because the book was published in 2011

Vietnam I pledge alligence

Vietnam I pledge alligence is about how a group of friends lives all get changed when one of the friends get a letter saying he is being drafted into the military. So when they here about the letter they all sign up to. They sign up to different branches of the military. This one book focuses on Morris who makes it his personal mission to watch over his friends while aboard the USS Boston ( he joined the navy ) but while trying to keep his friends safe he also has to keep his and the city of Boston safe.

Scorch Trials

Warning this blog may have a spoiler to the Maze Runner!!! Scorch Trials is the sequel to the Maze Runner, so if you want to read Scorch Trials I would recommend reading the first book first. Scorch Trials is what happened after Thomas and his friends got out of the maze. They were taken to a place where they were "safe". Thomas then meets a boy who was shy but also knew something was wrong and wicked (the group of people who it them in the maze) was lying to them so they all try to escape the place that wicked was trying to keep them in. The rest of there story is there adventure surviving the scorch (the scorch is that the sun is unbelievable hot and bright and a disease as well). 

Maze runner vs Spud

In the book the maze runner there is a boy named Thomas who was forced to go into the maze. It is almost the same story as in SPUD. There is a boy named spud and his parents forced him to go to boarding school. That's a simularity right there, they are both forced to go to a place they don't want to be. Also in both books a girl show up and Thomas and SPUD like the girl that show up in there book. That's just two of multiple similarities.

Maze runner signposts

Warning this blog will have a spoiler!!! In the Maze runner there are sign posts everywhere. I am going to talk about memory moment. One that shows up often is every time Thomas or Teresa sleep they see little tiny bits or there past. One main memory moment is when Thomas stabs himself with a grieves needle and sees what he did and that he found out that he was the one that sent everyone to the maze and that he started working with wicked when he was a little kid.

Holocaust Upstanders

I say that no one stood up because they were scared that the Nazis would do the same to them as they did with the Jews. I say that that people stood up against the nazis because they don't want to watch these innocent people suffer for practicing a religion. I would try to help but do it on the low side. Try to keep it a secret because I don't really want to know the pain some Jews had to go through. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't wish it upon them it just happened

King of Kona

One place I what to go to when I'm older is Kona skate park in Florida. There is a skate competition every year and I want to go to it even though it already past. It was on January 15 and one of my favorite YouTubers goes every year. They have some silly challenges to get extra points, on is going down the skate ribbon hold hands going down with 4-5 people in total. It's only three days so you have to make the best of it, well at least the competition. I'm almost certain it's open year round

Maze runner

The book I am reading is maze runner it's about how a boy named Thomas was sent to this place called the glades in it there is four walls surrounding it with only one way to get out. The problem is that the one way to get out of the glades is to go through a maze. Everything was fine when before Thomas was sent into the glades. When Thomas came he got a runner killed (Runners search the maze for a way out) and Alby and Minho went into the maze the next day. When they returned the walls/door started to close so Thomas broke a rule and went into the maze and started to help but didn't make it out. That's just one conflict that happened in this book

West side

I read Westside by William Shaw. This book is  about William shaw traveling to the heart of the rapping scene, Compton California. He talks about ice cube, Rodney King but his main focus was a group of boys battling through poverty and racism. Some parts that kind of confused me was when I first started reading the book I kept thinking that I was reading a book about NWA but in reality it was a group of boy that want to be like NWA.
