Authors note: I wrote about dinosaurs because the were extremely interesting.
Dinosaurs
lived millions of years ago. They are one of the oldest animals that I
know of. The way they lived was simple the bigger ones ate the smaller
ones. The T-rex is my favorite dinosaur because it was so big it could
eat other dinosaurs whole. it was also the biggest predator so they ate
every dinosaur with ease. The amount of species were amazingly high and
very exotic.

Seventh Grade Memories
Authors Note: I wrote about this story becasue we are also in seventh grade like the boy in the story.
Seventh Grade, by Gary Soto, is about a boy starting a new year in middle school and is trying to get the girl he has a crush on by pretending to be something he's not. Your peers will either laugh with you or at you, which is either a bad situation or a good one. He got embarrassed in front of the whole class but it worked out in the end when the girl asked him to help her study after school, but what I believe the author was trying to say was that you shouldn't try to be something you're not.
When you're a boy in school, you want a girlfriend but they might not always have those feelings for you. So you go out of your way to try to be something you're not. You dress different and act different attempting to please the girl you like. It may work or it might fail. Then you just go back to being yourself hoping she'll just realize how cool you actually are. Don't pretend to be something you are not. It will usually get you embarrassed. Your friends might stop talking to you and that could result in you being an outcast.
At school, picking the right friends matters. If you pick the wrong ones, you could end up doing wrong things and going to the wrong places. Again, don't be something you're not. Be yourself and friends will come to you and you'll know if they're the right people to hang out with. Being something you're not will almost always get you into trouble. When you hang out with the wrong people, and do wrong things, teachers will notice you and you never want to be on a teacher’s bad side.
Teachers watch you more than you think. They figure you out and they know when you're lying, trying to be funny, even when you're faking. As in trying to be something you're not. On the other hand, if you just be yourself, I'm betting that the teacher will end up liking you and you'll be on his or her's good side.
The lesson of the story is that no matter what, whether it comes to girls or friends, always be yourself. Pretending to be something you aren't will only end up giving you bad results. A girl won't like a faker and you won't have friends if you become something you're not. Always be yourself and don't change.

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.
