Confessions of an economic hit man

This is the final part in the novel, and it didn't change much for me. I felt almost board but still, it was slightly entertaining. I enjoyed this book, and after i finished reading it, i thought to myself about if i would recommend this book. I'm not sure if i would though, this book has good points and bad points to it. It Is a long book, and in my opinion it seems a bit boring. I don't like how long this novel is. For a book that goes on and on like this, i don't think i would recommend it. At least for people like me, who like more of action and car novels. For an older audience, this could be considered a good book. I think that this book is aimed for a viewing by a different catagory than most high schools.
This section of the book is about more of his life as an older person. A lot, this book is random i think. It will tell me about a lot of different things. Its weird how it is. It goes on about different stories and randomness. I don't want to read any sequels about this book. I can't really get into John Perkins whole writing style. He writes much more different than the books Ive been reading in high school. I think that this book was good but only for specified people. For example, i didn't enjoy it, but I'm positive others do, and will keep liking this book. I know that there are some people out there who are into book. I did not enjoy the whole idea of whole nations getting jacked out of there own money. It is sad and i don't think it is fare for the nations.

spring break fun

Hey there
During spring break, i went basically no where.I stayed in Alameda and in bay farm. My spring brake wasn't all that great. My car broke down, and i was on bike for most of the break.And even a scooter for sometimes. I did go to a few parties. They were really fun, and at night time so even funner.
My mom went to Tennessee for the whole break because my aunt had a baby and she went up to help out and keep the other kids under control. So for the week it was only my dad, my brother and i. it was a guys week pretty much and we ate a lot of take-out that week. it was okay thou. I cant complain. I actually had kind of a boring break, a few days were wasted and i had some work. I spent a few days at an auction at the base with my dad, and we ended up buying a weight set. I am started to lift now.And the next day we bought another thing. I'm not sure the name of the machine, but it has a pull down bar and a pull down rope thing. It is tall, and i like it so far.
My car went into the clutch for a few reasons. First off, the clutch was slipping really bad. It is a Manuel car and i could literally rev to 4ooo rpms, and it would barely move. You could walk faster. It was all to do with the clutch.The clutch was completely replaced and now driving it again, it feels so much nicer.The car feels very different though, stalled when i was backing out of the shop it was in. When they replace the clutch, I got to see it and it was all worn to hell. It needed a replacement badly. The workers said it was really bad, it that is was slipping when i bought the car, but i never even noticed it. Now it grabs hard, and it feels alot better and safer when i am driving. I was scared to drive to the shop, so it was towed there. Another problem was the oil valve and oil pan gasket went bad, and they were replaced. Because they needed replacement, the car would smell like burnt oil if i drove it over 60, or for a long period of time. One more problem to top all of this off, is that the window on the drivers side, front, the main window wont go down,and i have no way to make it opne replace the contacts, because i think that is why and where the , i need to go inside andproblem is. And the air conditioning wont work, and summer is coming up, the fan wont turn on, and even when it did, the air was not cold,and not super hot either.This Saturday, i am taking it back to the shop, and going to ask the mechanics/my dads friend to look at it, and recharge it with freon.

Confessions of an economic hitman, part one and two

Confessions of an economic Hit Man
In the book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" the author, John Perkins, is also the main character. This book is non-fictional, and its really hard to read this when it is apparently true. It doesn't seem true, because supposedly secret large organizations that are not apart of the government acquire trillions of dollars from countries. So some how, it is really confusing to me, spy's and the people who back them up cheat whole countries out of huge sums of money. John Perkins explained his life as crazy and he did alot of things throughout his life, especially so far in this first sections. He dropped out of college which he thought was a good choice.After college, the military really wants him but he rejects the whole military idea for now. I am started to like this book. It is about a whole big picture, it is totally different than all the books i think i have ever read. Usually i read books about individual people or small problems, not how entire countries are cheated out of trillions of dollars in currency. This is so different, and so is the style of the novel. The writing is more relative to the government, and also the vocabulary Ive noticed, its bigger than usual. There are alot of big words in here i have never seen. I still don't really get how this whole system works out, like, for example, if trillions of dollars were missing, someone would end up noticing. That is, more than some countries even have. Hopefully, this novel will get less confusing in the next section. I thing it will most likely stay the same though, but i still don't understand some of the concepts and the ideas in the section so far.In my last opinion for this section, i like this book.

John Perkins describes himself as a spy, for a secret association who's job is to work with roughly ten others to find information out and keep things in order. But to do this job, he has to be highly skilled, which he is. Apparently he has been trained for years, even in high school was one of the best students in his class. His parents were high school teachers who were well-educated, and they made him switch out of his public school. Hos parents placed him into an all boy school because they wanted to keep him away from all the "sluts" at public schools. this section didn't really change for me.It seemed pretty much the same kinda stuff, but obviously different, like how john grew up. I didn't really understand what an economic hit man was until more of this section. there has been more examples Also, another thing i was thinking about is how many years this guy has put into his career, the training needed to be a skill full hit man who can deal with the pressure put on from handling trillions of dollars. The man has had so much training its amazing. The novel describes alot of his life getting ready for his job. I do in fact like this section more because it got more in dept about what an economic hit man actually does. John got into brown for a college but because bot of his parents went to middle bury for a college, he was transferred there too, as a tradition.There he acquired an academic scholarship. Brown gave him a athletic scholarship. Throughout his schooling he was a very athletic student which looked good for becoming a spy, and he try ed very hard in school. He earned very good grades that helped him became spy. He had it hard going through these top schools and getting good grades. In my opinion he is a good spy from this background.

skillsand future

My writing goals

As a sophomore in your class, mr.sutherland, i feel as if my writing skills have doubled to what they were during 8th grade, as a middle schooler. I have gotten a ton of experience from blogs every week. Doing logs every week is a great way to become a better writer because experience makes you better for almost anything you can thing of. And since i have to write around 800 words a week for just blogs, on top of every thing else i get for being in high school, i sharpen my skills,

I can still be a better writer, as so can almost every body else, besides professional writers. I know for a fact i can make improvement. And for my next few years, i think i see me writing even more than i do more. For example, the different classes i am going to take are possibly going to give me as an assignment, many essays.

I used to get alot of writers block syndrome, and as i continue to write, by weeks, i see change, and it is slowly going away, but not for good. I think i will always get it, and there is no permanent cure for it. But as always, i can try. As i am getting older, i would like to get more evolved in writing, for college. I know writing is a huge part of life as i get older, but for me and my career, i am not so sure after i finish college. I want to be like my dad, and be the boss of the brick company my dad made. I think i can take it farther because of the skills im going to be learning in my next 5-6 years in school, or more. Im not so sure yet, on what i want to do after high school. I am willing to do physical labor, because i already work for my dad alot. And i have been learning alot more about becoming a brick/stone mason. It pays well, but it is hard. Many hard days , and tiresome bights with early mourning's, as my dad has explained it.

I have already talked to my counselor, and as required i am going to take another two years of English, and hopefully i will get you next year, i have really enjoyed your class. Its a little different, but in my opinion better than my other English classes i have been in. Which require receptive spelling test, and home work than is barely different each night. I get board of those types of classes. This English class is not repetitive, besides blogs, which is okay, because of the open topics, or book reviews. I like that whole idea.

As for my pronunciation, i know i need work, i don't pay attention to this much because of spell checker, but i should because when i actually need to write with pen and paper, i will have to pay extra attention to this.

Touching spirit bear

Touching Spirit bear

Touching spirit bear , the novel by Ben Mikaelsen is a fictional story about a trouble making kid, Cole, who gets in so much trouble that he has to go to a island in Alaska to experience solemn months. In his experience in the island, he gets mauled by a bear and witnesses cold nights alone. It is a life changing experience, and throughout the whole entire book, he really changes. This novel, just seemed like a corny middle school book, because of the parts where Cole danced around the fire, and i think it was just some stuff the author put in the book for the younger audience the book was aimed for. I think this book is not for people in high school.

Cole's last shot was used up when he beat up Peter, the kid who snitched on him for breaking into a hard ware store. Cole wanted revenge so he badly injured Peter. Peter was messed up for years and he had to do therapy for the injury's. He became messed up in the head and attempted suicide twice. Cole really hurt this kid physical and mentally, and the sad thing about it is that he didn't even care after it happened. He just blames the world for all of his anger. Most of his anger though comes from his parents. His parents are both drinkers and they do not support or care about Cole as much as they should, Garvey, the man who is helping Cole out can see this. He is the main one who believes in Cole and really puts alot of effort into helping Cole become a better person.

The island that Cole is temporally on is a remote, small and very wild part of Alaska. It seems like it is the kind of place that the Native Americans lived on, and it hasn't been covered up by concrete or buildings and malls. This seems like a good place to be alone for long periods of time. In this book, that is exactly what it is. And for Cole, it works. This whole idea for Cole was Garvey's idea, Garvey seems like a pushover in Cole's eyes. But he is a really nice man who pushes Cole's negative words away.

3. What are the weaknesses of this book, in your opinion?
This book has many weaknesses in my opinion, first off the kid Cole is an angry and disrespectful kid, and i didn't like him. I just didn't want to read about how rude he is and how he defies authority. But then i found out that he has a reason, His parents cause him to be really cruel to everybody and every thing. For example, both his parents are drinkers and his dad has beat him. His dad, of course, denies it in their meetings, and his mother says nothing when she has an opportunity to admit the truth. At the meetings, they both really try hard to look as if they are great parents, and Cole is just a complete mess-up. They don't seem to care for Cole, but they only show there true colors to each other, and they hide it from all others. I don't personally like how this whole section of the book is,

Another really weird thing is that Cole wakes up early every mourning, unlike when he was at home. He then walks up to a mountain, and he baths in freezing cold water. I don't really understand why, if this was real, he Probably would not get in freezing cold water early in the mourning. Water from my shower is too cold for me when i first get in. This kid . before he started to change would sleep in on the island, and be lazy all day. He set fire to the shelter some one made for him. I don't see him having enough enthusiasm to get in the water. This book, seems fake to me, i still, after finishing it dislike the whole subject and i don't see this bad kid learning all the things he apparently has learned.

14. For what audience(s) is this book intended, and how can you tell? (In other words, for whom would you recommend this book?)

This book is completely for kids in middle school. It is very easy reading and it doesn't require much knowledge to understand everything, something a higher educated reader looks for. So in my opinion, this novel is kind of boring. I can't get into it much, i didn't understand why Garvey would put so much time and effort into a kid like Cole, but it did work out for him. I think my brother in middle school would enjoy this book much more than i did, but still, not that much. I'm glad now that i am done with the book that bored me for 3 weeks. For a 7th grade essay, i can see a kid writing a good piece on this story, because it is easy reading material. That makes it a good book for younger kids. I think that the author wrote this book thinking of a young audience. I read this book, starting out with the intentions of enjoying myself, but that failed, but i dont have to worry about it anymore. My next book will be much more entertaining. This book lacks a sense of humor, and action. It topic wasn't good in my view, and i would not recommend this to any one else. The author needed to add more intriguing information for a older audience, so this book could be relative for a reader in high school. It is clearly for young kids though.Maybe this authors other books are alot more exciting to a different area and age of viewers, but i rather not read more of his books, because this book made me lose faith in this authors writing style. Maybe ill tell my brother to read this book, because e needs to do reading for his school, and this would be better than all the video games he plays, every day.

finished the easy book!!!!!!!!

Dear declan and johhny

This book is, as declan said, corny. I would agree with that statement. As the last section ends, i can see the change with in Cole. It is true so far that he is good, for a kid and he is becoming better. This section, i feel was really about peter, more than the previous two sections.In Each section, Cole is still the main charactor though. So Peter has tried to commit suiside twice, and has many problems from when He was beaten up. Cole really doubts at first that they would even let peter on the island, but he gets there. SO peter and Cole live on the island and do alot of the same things every day, it does get repetetive.

Cole gets up every mournng and does the same thing, i guess this teaches him that he has to take responsibility kind of, he can't just do watever he wants, but what he does is his choice here. Okay, so he wakes up early then takes a rock up a long hill and goes to a pond. he takes a bath in the pond and it helps him to relieve his anger and get rid of his strees from his anger problems. At the end of the book, peter trys to beat up cole, and cole doesn't fight back. This makes peter cry, so it is almost as if they have switched shoes. This book leaves you hanging. It doesn't say anything much after this little event. I would have liked to know a little more, but it's alright. I didn't really enjoy this book a hole lot. I am more excite dfor mu next book. "confessions of an econamic hitman". I am glad this book is done, it is more of an easy middle school book for younger kids.
