Rat Life


The name of the book is Rat Life and the authors name is Tedd Arnold. This book takes place around the 1970's and its after the Vietnam War. The main character name is Todd him and his family own a hotel and thy live in it and one day he is riding his bike to the hotel from school and he runs into this dog on the side of the rode so he stops and pets it then he picks it up because there is a loud truck coming down the rode then the dog bits Todd so he drops the dog and the truck hits the dog. Todd goes to hospital and he is gonna see if he got rabies from the dog bit because he doesn't know were the dog came from. The doctor tell him that he has rabies and for rabies to go away you need to get some shots in the stomach. The conflict of the story is that rat has rabies and there's a bigger conflict which is that Todd found a dead body in the river near rats house. In this book I like how Todd tries to solve the conflict by himself. If you thinking about reading this book I suggest that you like mysteries. The book is not that long it has 208 pages.

Life In Prison


One of the book that I read in quarter two is called Life In Prison, the author of the book is Stanley "Tookie" Williams, its about a guy that created the gang called Crips and his name Stanley Williams he has these friends that get killed and he gets really mad and goes and kills four people that were responsible for the murder of his friends.Then he goes to prison and hes on death row and in the book he tells about his life in prison.One of the major conflicts are that Stanley Williams kills four people.I loved how he was so descriptive about what he saw inside the prison he would tell you exactly what he did because he didn't do that much.My opinion of this book I think would be alot more interesting for teenagers and maybe some adults.This book is really short its only eighty pages long.In this book there are alot of pictures in this book and there are alot of short chapters.
