Post 7

Recently, I finised reading "Marley and Me". Continuing with post 6, Marley then becomes not the only other person in the family. The owner then takes him to a dog beach. This was hilarious becuase the oly rule was not to let your dog poop in the water, which Marley eventual ends up doing by drinking to much seawater.The family then have two childeren. This can be unfortunant, as I know from my brother. Altough I wouldn't know how a dog would feel about it. Then, "Marley is called to be in a movie. Although the first day didn't go so well. Marley was supposed to walk out of the car with a kid, bu he ended up dragging him out. I then tought well what do you expect. Hes a rambunctious dog, isn't this why you casted him? Strangly, the director calles him back for another day of shooting (I can't understand why) and before you know it, the movie is out. Although Marley was in the movie for a couple of minutes, he ended up in the credits. This was ridicules, I thought. He was only in the movie for a couple of minutes, so why should he be in the casting list, besides, hes a dog. Then the family moves to Pensylvania. I thought this part was hilarious because the kids thought there would be pencils on the trees. Then the book goes on to tell about Marley's first winter. It tells about how Marley jumped on a sled with his owner and nearly hit a tree while going down a hill. Then it tells how Marley was getting older, and eventualy died. This was the most saddening part of the book. Although in the last pargraph, it tells how the owners end up adopting a dog they thought Marley was reincrated into. I give this book 4 and a half stars out stars out of five.

Post 6

I started reading "the boy in the striped pjs". It Seems like a good book, after all who hasn't seen the movie. Its about a boy whos father is a german officer in WWII. They were from Berlin to a remote town in Poland. This is strange, because if you moved a major military man into a remote location, isnt the chances for assanation a lot greater than him living in the fatherland? So Bruno(the boy) starts to walk around his house, and decides its small and he hates it. He caould trade that house with butlers for my house any day. One day, he decides to go exploring. He finds a boy in a concentration camp name Shmule. Shmule is from Poland, and his mother was seperated from him. Talking to Shmule, he soon relizeses that he does have a friend near OutWith (the house). This is as far as i have gotten. Unfortunantly, I know how it ends.

This week, I started reading "Marley and Me". Personaly, i have not seen the movie, and my mother bought some books for my brother, so it looked ok and i started readin it. I'm only acouple of pages in, but it looks ok. Its so far about how a man and his wife start ro adopt a dog. The dog Marley(which is named after the famous regae musician Bob Marley) is a energenic dog to say the least, and the family ends up adopting him. Marley supposedly has a beat to his tail wagging. The more you interact with him, the faster the beat of the tail gets. This is really starting to remind me of my dog.Then, it descibes how big the dog gets, and compared to my dog, this one is like a small cat. But overall, marley is turing out to be a big dog. Then, the man takes him to a lake, and unleashes him. This is the part that puzzles me. I cannot understand why the dog didnt start running away. This is what most young dogs that I know would have done. He then plays around with him and starts throwing sticks. This is all I've read so far, so stay tuned for more Marley!!!
