Smart Alec Ice Cream

Authors note: I chose to write about this becasue there are people that are like this.

In the book, “Smart Ice Cream” the theme was very obvious. But I thought it was a great way to make a point. Well what happened to the main character was he snuck into an ice cream truck and ate all of the smart ice cream but it really said smart alec ice cream. Always think before you act and mistakes wont be as severe.

The theme was it doesn’t matter how smart you are you will still make mistakes. I think that because in the entire book he was bragging so much because he was getting 100% on all of his tests. Also you need to think your ideas through before you act them out. One example of this was the main character got on the ice cream vender’s bad side and did
nasty things to him so the vendor treated him poorly.

Lastly you always need to pay attention to what you are getting yourself into. For example when he broke into the truck and saw the smart ice cream he thought it just meant smart when it really meant smart alec ice cream. So because of some bad choices he changed his life forever in a worse way

All in all, be careful or something will change your life. was it doesn’t matter how smart you are you will still make mistakes. Also you need to think your ideas through before you act them out.  Lastly you always need to pay attention to what you are getting yourself into.

Be Extreme

Authors Note: I chose this book because I sometimes like to be extreme.

Imagine experiencing amazing, speed, strength, and experience no pain but not understand why. All of these things happen in the book “Go big or Go Home” by Will Hobbs. One day can change your life forever for the better or the worse. Always do what is right even though there may be consequences. The theme of this story is to be careful even though it might be boring
Extreme, is what the main characters Brady and Quinn live for. Things can always be messed up very easily. When a meteorite falls in Brady’s house and is carrying some life forms things could get out of hand. Especially when a few mistakes of what you are doing could end your life, Such as exploring caves and lake fishing in a floatable raft.
With a crazy turn of events Brady gets the bacteria on the meteorite in his system which makes him faster, stronger, and tougher. But it starts a fight within his system and his body is losing. Since the germs were dormant which means they need a substance to activate them and deactivate. If they don’t find out it what deactivates the bacteria Brady might die.
Stay careful even though you may not want to be.  The author uses an object to put these kids back in reality even though it was from out of this world.
