In this section of the book i read called a Child Called It David begins to resent his siblings because of all of the abuse he is enduring.The adversrity lies where David is trying to manage to stay alive and stay in a different mind set and that mind set is do whatever you have to, to survive. I can relate in a different way to what is happening to the main character in a different sense when wanting to escape your own personal hell by taking you mind somewhere else in order to keep pushing past something hard.
I can relate because in some sense i went threw somewhat of a abusive past let me say escaping is the way to go and a lot of councling later on.
The section I read in the book For the Love of the Horse. The adversity is Helene Freixe is scared of Idis the horse. My thought while I was reading is that why is Helene scared of a big horse. I predict that Helene will not be scared of Idis no more. My connection with the section is that my horse is big like Idis.
i'm reading long walk to freedom by nelson mandela it's his autobiograhy the first section was about his childhood and where and how he grew up and what it was like he was facing the fact that the white men were diffrent and he didn't have much to do with them at that agw but his father was adviser to the king i was curious as to what challages he may face as he grew and learned along the way and what he would do if he had to live i think that he'll leave the place he was born for a while . he kind of reminds me of my childhood stuggling but doing his best to make his family proud of him along the way
The book I chose was Tuesdays with Morrie. Morrie wa a college professor who was diagnosed with ALS. Despite his death sentence he made an oath to stay positive and live his remaining days to the fullest. One Of Morrie's favorite students Mitchell,saw his teacher's story on TV and after losing touch for many years came to visit him. Morrie looks much different then Mitch remembers, however, he is just as knowledgeable and continues to to teach About his life. This is a very emotional boo. It makes me appreciate life and how short it can be cut sometimes. I think that Mitch will continue to visit Morrie to learn about all the life lessons Morrie can share.I can't really make any connections to my own life yet since I have never gone through something like this but people in my family have had diseases that caused them to know they are dying and are just waiting for it to come. I'm interested in finding out what Morrie's life lessons are.

Michael Phelps explains the 400 freestyle meter relay race and how team US anchor Jason Lezak was slightly behind the French at the start then the australian team pulled ahead too. But Jason had a strong push in the last 40 meters. Team US was screaming along with the rest of the beijing arena. Team US won by .08 seconds. This gave Michael his first gold medal of the 2008 games. He eventually won 8 but it wasn't easy he had to physically and mentally be stronger then his opponents. This made me realize how Michael winnning 8 gold medals is so special. I knew he had one close race but know I realize he probably had a lot of close races. Next I believe the other beijing races michael was in to win 8 gold medals will be explained. This reminds me of some cross country races where I beat people by tenths of a second to get the places I wanted.

In the section I read Tim Tebow told about how he was nominated for a heisman trophy. He had a massive headache and ended up losing to someone else. He made a promise that he would lead his team to victory. I was very surprised that he made such a bold promise. I believe Tim will live up to his promise. This book reminds me of when I played football.

Bernie Webber had a flashback of about how he married his wife. His flashback ended and he started to prepare his crew for the perilous journey to the t2 tanker.
Bernie is facing the rough seas in a 36 foot boat and will have to rescue a crew of a tanker boat.
I was amazed at how fast he married his love. It was only two months of dating.
I predict that Bernie will force his way through the rough seas and make it to the tanker in time.
I cannot make any connections to Bernie at this time or to the obstacles he is about to face.
Jackie F English 12 4th hour book:Dr.Death
Dr.Kevorkian is being tried for the murder of Janet Adkins who used his machine to commit suicide. Dr. Kevorkian is facing adversity from society and those who think what he is doing is wrong. I think people have a right to their own life and should be able to do what they want with it. I predict the verdict will be not guilty and Dr. Kevorkian will walk free.
I connected with this section because I understand what if feels like to think a different way than the group youŕe surrounded in.

I am reading a type of biography on former president Abraham Lincoln. So far, it has explained who he was as an individual, where he was born, and a little bit of his family background. At this point in time in the book, he is not really facing any type of problems or adversity. I’m not really having too many emotions while reading this book, but I find it slightly intriguing. I have previously read a biography on Abraham Lincoln when I was in 4th grade so I already have quite a bit of knowledge of what is going to happen within the next couple chapters of the book. I predict that he will end up running for president and creating the emancipation proclamation. I don’t really see any ways that I can make any personal connections with him and/or his story.
EW 4th Hour, book: Unstoppable
Nick Vujicic is talking about his life and how he has no arm and no legs and how he keep his faith in god. He is motivational speaker and evangelist. He travels the world and talking with large groups about his adversity in his life. He is talking about now how life will never goes as planned and if your having a bad day but keep for faith and things will get better.
Nick didn't have any arms or legs when he was born, and he believed that nobody would ever like him.
I have seen Nick speak before and he is a very ahppy man that is happy with how life is going and wants everybody to know that life doesn't go as plan at times and things will get better soon.
That he will talk about ways to help deal with adversity in our lives.
Having the feeling that people are judging you. But people are changing and are moving one. And that is okay to lose people in your life because everybody is different and no two people are the same.
NK 4th hour
I am reading Mein Kampf. In the section I read Hitler is talking about his childhood and how he didn’t want to grow up to be a civil servant like his father. His father, Alois, did not appreciate Adolf’s gift of public speaking. He seemed to be a normal child. He was active in his monastery's choir. I predict that he will continue to have troubles with his father that may lead him to make poor decisions in life. Some of my close friends are in choir.

2.) The dog Sandy was turned into was sick, so he went to the animal shelter that his wife volunteers at.

5.) I think in the next part Emily and her in law's will go to Sandy's funeral.

I am reading the book "My Life With The Walter Boys." I read the first 5 chapters and in this section, the main character, Jackie, has to go through some changes. After her family died in a freak car accident she has to move cross-country to live with the Walters- her new guardians. Only after boarding the plane does she find out the Walters have 12 sons. Her introduction begins when she’s brought up onto the Walters pool deck. She finds herself stuck between a rock and hard place when she meets Cole, a devilishly handsome, blonde haired, wet mess with muscles making his tan arms bulge and red swim trunks hanging dangerously low, flirting between inappropriate and just enough room for imagination. How could she keep her parents memory alive by being perfect if she had this hunk-of-handsome distracting her? She begins to find it difficult to fit in as she experiences new things such as public school, sharing a bathroom with 12 boys, and her first hangover. I love this book because I can totally relate to Jackie. I’ve had to deal with my own distraction before and it made everyday tasks SO much more difficult. I think some chemistry is going to be created between Cole and Jackie and she’ll also get to experience her first kiss!

I am reading the book "This World We Live In" by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I'm not very far in the book yet, but so far in the book, a girl and her family are living together in a world where resources are very scarce and the sunlight has disappeared. It has rained a few times, for the first time in what sounds like years. This section is special because it gives the narrator hope. It's written in a diary format so you hear the story from her point of view, letting you know how they feel about things. Like I said, I haven't read much yet, but the most important thing in the book is the rain. I like the book so far. I find it interesting that it's so hard for them to find resources. My predictions are that the world is going to progressively get better throughout the book. The Earth will heal.

MH, 1st Hour, Book: Divergent
1: In the section I read, Beatrice takes her test and gets her results and they are inconclusive. The Dauntless girl who administers her test tells her that this is a special thing called Divergent, where you apply to three of the four factions. The girl tells her that she must never tell anyone of this new information.
2:The thing about this section that was special. Is that now Beatrice is plagued with a decision between the three that she feels don’t exactly apply to her. Now she has to pick her faction, this is a decision that is very hard for her being that her family is of a different faction than the one she is leaning toward.
3:The most important thing to move the story along was, Beatrice has to go home. The girl who gave her the test said that it was recommended that she go home immediately.
4: My thoughts include astonishment that Beatrice got inconclusive results, this is because she literally is like a mix of everyone and that confuses me so much. I am wondering why or how this is possible.
5: My prediction is that Beatrice will choose the faction with her family, despite the fact that it is not her favorite faction. She will choose family so she can live long and peacefully as an Abnegation.

He faced great swimmers and also had feuds with his coach Bob but he said those feuds only made there relationship stronger. what really surprised me was how devoted michael was to swimming at a early age practicing before and after school. I've felt devoted too sports before but not that much.I predict Michael will now go on and explain the next part of his life

The man and his daughter think assisted suicide is legal and accepted in Michigan, but after they help her the man is arrested. He is being tried for murder. The adversity the man is facing is the court. I predict he'll be set free because it was a crime of love. I think the woman has a right to die if she doesn't want to die a slow painful death.

In my section the author Bryan Perrett is explaining a battle that George Washington took place in. He explains the troubles that he had. Like the fact that he is outnumbered and has way less supplies. Yet George manages to pull out a win. I think that in the next section the battle he will talk about will most likely be more recent. I can relate because it basically says no matter how hard it is you can come out on top.
I'm reading The Narnian which is about the life of C.S.Lewis.

I am now reading a book called Invincible Lousia by Cornelia Meigs. I haven't been reading this book too much because I had just gotten it yesterday. The small bit I have been able to read in this book, a man named Bronson Alcott is on his way to the Haines house on the main street of Germantown. He is very eager to boast about his new baby, a "remarkable" daughter. He was going to the house to take all of the Haines children to see his daughter. The thoughts that I am having are mostly along the lines of who is this Bronson Alcott and who are the Haines? How do they know each other? There is no adversity being faced at the moment, aside from this man trying to reach the Haines house without interruptions. I don't know what to predict, but I am thinking something bad might happen or the children won't be as happy as he is about his baby. I can't make any connections to the book at this time.

Nick just left a talk show and went to his hotel room for the night. And the producer called and said that the talk show host was in a plane crash, and that they need prays .
Dealing with the host dying after he just say him. But Nick has to remind himself that he explained his faith to the host of the show. Because the host needed to help find himself.
When I heard that the host died in the plane crash I was shocked because at the tv show they let Nick talk for hours compared to only 30 minutes. It was sad to hear that the host didn't make it.
I believe that is going to explain that its okay to make mistakes and there is always a positive ending.
I never had somebody that died in a plane crash but its every sad and depressing for the families that were involved. But keeping a positive attiude throught the good and bad times.
NK 4th hour.
In the section I read of “Mein Kampf” Adolf was upset that his father refused to let him be a painter. It was Adolf’s dream to be a professional painter. Because his father wouldn’t let him do what he wanted, Adolf decided he would only study the subjects he enjoyed and the others he would sabotage. He excelled in history and geography. His father being so cruel to him makes me feel bad for him and the rebellious attitude that comes out because of it make him seem slightly relatable. I predict that he and his father will continue to argue about everything.
In the section I read in "Heaven Changes Everything", Todd tells a story about Colton first mentioning when he visited Heaven. The adversity Todd is facing is the pain his family felt while Colton is in the hospital, which I thought would be very hard, especially since he was so young. I predict Colton will get better. I can't make any connections to my life because I have never known anyone who went to Heaven and back.

In the section I read, they are in Camazotz, and Charles has been hypnotized by the Man with Red Eyes and Meg has found her father, and is afraid of Meg approaching the all-powerful IT, who Meg has no idea what that is. Calvin tried to get Charles back by talking to him about The Tempest, and that slightly got Charles back to normal, but not all the way.
