Reading Response # 2 summer reading book

   The book Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz is a action packed book about a 14 year old boy who works for the British Intelligence Agency and spies on criminals. The main character Alex is fighting criminals because one of them killed his uncle 2 years ago. He constantly interviews them on why they do the things that they do. The message I think he is trying to get across is if you are doing something you are not supposed to be doing you should probably stop. If you don't stop something bad will happen and sometimes it ends in death. Narrator in this book not only knows what id going on but also the thoughts and emotions of the characters.

     The narrator follows Alex and says his thoughts. This gives the audience the history on Alex and why he does the things that he does. The setting in this book is in either present time or in the near future. Alex is different from all of the normal teens in his community. He has been shot twice and keeps denying that he will never go back to being a spy for M16. But that always fails and he ends up taking over cases and always closing them. This book was a great summer read for a teen and probably someone younger too.

    I like how you describe Alex. I like how Alex is a teen spy.

Author: Brian Schwartz The article I read was about the senate race in Florida between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson. This race is supposed to be the most expensive senate race ever. In this case money matters and both candidates have plenty of money because they are both receiving so many donations. The reason Scott has so many money is because he was apart of a group based in Southern Florida. This was a political action committee. They have already raised 1.7 million and he had a huge donation of $250,000 from a supportive group. Nelson could win because he has a bank of his own. His campaign had raised 10 million through the early months of 2018 and also have an extra 8 million on the side. A popular bank named Regions has given him $114,000. The downside was his background when he was a CEO of a healthcare company. He defrauded taxpayers and was asked to step down and leave the company. In the investigation they found nothing and did not charge him with anything. Title: Big m

On November 25, 2017, the last weekend of the college football regular season was here. This was considered rivalry weekend. Alabama was playing the mighty Tigers of Auburn. Also, the LSU Tigers were playing the Aggies of Texas A&M. The Aggies were not a talented team but also had a very annoying fan base. The Wisconsin Badgers were ranked number five and were not in the college football playoff rankings.  The Badgers had a perfect season with no losses. The number four and three teams had one loss. The Auburn and Alabama game was a close first half. The second half was favored by Auburn. In a tough game, Auburn handed the Crimson Tide their first loss. Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers won against the Aggies and was not a close game. This was a good day because the Tigers won and the Crimson Tide lost.

There are two shows I am watching on Netflix right now. Both of them have to do with a crisis that has happened to them. One has happened to the world and another just happened to a large group. There are leaders that have expressed  their ideas and plans to get through the problems. For example Jack is the main character of the show Lost. His plane has crashed on an island and he is the doctor. He makes almost all of the decisions but also listens to others. Also there is a down side to being a leader or chief. If there is a decision that a person doesn't like or a big group doesn't like, people will start to revolt . When people revolt decisions, things get complicated and nasty. An example in the other show, the Walking Dead, when people revolt they are either left or injured/killed.
