Son Of The Mob: Important Part Of The Story

"I start to argue, but decide, What's the point? We both know what we're talking about. "Yeah, vending machines," I say. "It's a little tough for my tastes.""(Pg 21) This briefly shows a bit of a dynamic act. The character Vince grew up in a family that was related to the Mafia business.

Life of Pi: Response To Reading

I am currently at the part where the swarm of Flying Fish had flopped around past, over, and onto the boat. One of the fish is caught by Pi. To eat, he was to kill the fish but had resented to. Even with a cover over, he refused to break the neck. This is almost like me. I always despise to carry out the act of ending a life. There's just a part inside of me that refuses to act in such a way.

Son Of The Mob: The Introduction

In Son Of The Mob the book is introduced in a present day event. After it turns into a disaster, the book is then brought back into the past and explains the type of family and situation they are in. I personally think this is a nice way of introducing the book. Usually this kind of way of introducing the story grabs my attention. This is why I like this sort of introduction in books. Overall it's a great way to start off in my view.

Son Of The Mob: R2R [draft]

Son of The Mob is a fictional book by Gordon Kormon. This book talks about Victor Luca who was raised by a family that is connected to the mob. Overtime while Victor was being raised, he had no idea about what was going on while the house was tapped by the federal agency. He carried lunch sacks full of mashed diamonds, and opened up suit cases packed with drug money. An event that happens in the book is when Victor comes into the room with his uncle getting bullets pulled from his behind. It's a humorous scene due to the dad being on top of the uncle to hold him down and the mother using tweezers to pick the bullets out. Victor being a child confronts the scene with fright and terror being exposed to it. I would say this can relate to a scene in

My Book Talk

My book talk went alright. I had forgotten my visual aid hook along with the reading journal. I meant to turn it in the following night but had accidentally left the book in the class. The book talk itself however went swell. Surely I have gotten through the points that were required as indications of I have read the book. There was no speculation about me not reading the book and I assure you Miss' believe that I had read the book which I did. Another thing is that I memorized everything that were was to talk about with the exception of an example of a metaphor which I had forgotten. I truly liked the book that I had read and so did Miss' herself. Everything went alright throughout the whole book talk but unfortunately I had forgotten the visual aid hook. That was supposed to be a PowerPoint Presentation/Collage which I had forgotten to email to Miss'. For an improvement on my next book talk, I'd probably like to write a more detailed card next time so I can remember to explain everything without having to be reminded. I did great solely on ending it with asking if there was any questions that needed to be answered. Another thing I'd like to improve on is actually sending the PowerPoint Presentation or bringing the visual aid hook. That might have knocked down my grade a bit and I don't want that to happen next time when I give a talk about my book.
