Drown - Journal Entry 2

The next few chapters were alright . So now the boy talks about his family . His mother gets cheated on all the time and the kids even know it . Plus, their father was strict too and every time he raises his voice... His little sister gets scared . That part there reminded me of a show I seen, although I forgot what it was called . The show is very similar to what happened so far in the story . Father cheats, kids know and he's strict . I don't even have to picture it in my head . I've seen it happen on t.v and it made me feel uncomfortable . I don't like men who are like that . Men who does wrong doings at all times and takes it out on their own children and wife .

Drown - Journal Entry 1

So far I found this book "Drown" very interesting . The book talks about a boy who describes his life as a young boy, about the age of 9 . He also says how he always use to try to follow his brother and every time he did he would get punched in the face . (lol) That reminded me of when I was younger and since I didn't have no brothers or sisters to look up to I always use to look up to my cousin . I would follow her also but she won't punch me in the face . She'll try to bribe me with some money or candy to go away . 

Old man and the Sea - Journal Entry 2

What I thought about what i read so far was that how I liked how the boy is so concerned about the old man . Plus, when the boy feels like he haven't gave enough to the old man he puts himself down and thinks that he's thoughtless . I deffenetly know how the young boy feels because when i buy my mom presents or do stuff for her I feel like I'm not giving or doing enough for her . My mom gave me a lot in m life and it's hard to top what she has given me .

Old man and the Sea - Journal Entry 1

In this book I've read so far doesn't really say much . I honestly found it a little boring . I did like the
 relationship of the young boy and the old man . They take care of each other and the young boy always wants to help him out . I find that really sweet . I think the boy see's the old man as a father figure .  I wonder why ? The boy is so attached to him and still wants to be in the same boat as the old man even though he hasn't caught any fish in about 85 days . Plus, the boat the boy went to; (the new boats) he caught fishes . But, the boy doesn't care and he wants to stay fishing with the old man .
