I want to talk about the part where they had to get there beds checked. I thought maybe it was for something they were no longer supposed to have with them in there training time. The most interesting part to me is when they put you in the spot to decide what to do. I think this book is a okay read, what do you think.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I got lost there too. He did not fully describe what had happened. But I also thought it was a okay read.
DeleteI thought getting there beds checked wasn't something they did anymore either. I got a little confused, but its overall a good book.
DeleteI want to talk about the pert where Juan Carlos died because of a broken bone/failure of caretaking. I thought that it was very sad and confusing. his leg was broken but no one knew how it was broken and when he was hospitalized he died because they took poor care of him. What did you think.
ReplyDeleteI believe they could of helped him better. They didn't give him all the attention that was needed for him. A broken bone is no reason to die. I think that what you posted is great.
DeleteI thought that part was sad, and they should have taken better care of him. It was a little confusing but a overall good book so far.
DeleteI want to talk about the flashbacks, He has had a lot of flash backs, about his childhood, Him thinking how was he going to go to college, etc. Sometimes they are funny, They make me think back to when I was little. The most interesting parts is when he asks what would you do, it makes it feel like a choose your own adventure book.
ReplyDeleteI seem to enjoy the flashbacks. It makes me understand the story more. And when it gives us the choice to chose what do do I feel like there Freedom.
DeleteI enjoy reading the flashbacks because I get a little bit my background knowledge of why he decided to write the book. It also makes me think about my childhood. I enjoy them.
DeleteI want to talk about the part where Eric bride the official at the gate to get into Zaire. I thought it was weird for him to just be able to walk in to the country.What did you think?
ReplyDeleteThe part that I thought was most interesting so far was when the children posed for pictures when they were crossing the Zaire, Rwanda border. I think this book is pretty good. What do you think?
I thought this part was like a fairy tale. I wish that we could do that in real life. I think the book is good and that is is a good book for people who like to choose the path.
DeleteI think that it was weird for him to do that too. But i'm enjoying the book so far.
