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.

Nothing or nobody is perfect I understand

Final Blog Project (C): The Ending Life of Dave Pelzer

I've read many books about this man, but the most recent book about his life would be The Privilege of Youth, where he finally is an adult. In the end of the book it mentions him joining the U.S Air Force. From my guess, I'd say he stayed in the Air Force for awhile. He probably did end up raising a family after wards. Most likely he met the girl that he did during his time in the Air Force. I'm guessing he's pretty rich from all the books he's written and the notability it's gotten. Good luck with your life David James Pelzer.

Final Blog Project (F): Child Abuse

This image does not just connect a little. It is exactly the problem in the book. This picture has a child with her right eye bruised due to child abuse. The same thing happened to the character in my book, Dave Pelzer. Dave Pelzer was the child of one of the most severe cases of child abuse. This picture also gives a life long lesson to children and parents from around the world. It gives a lesson on how mortifying child abuse is.
