There are so many people I would want to invite to dinner, but these are my top three: Gordon Ramsay, Stephen Curry, and Elon Musk. I chose these three for a specific reason. For dinner we will be eating filet mignon and who is better at cooking than Gordon Ramsay. For those who don’t know Gordon Ramsay, he is an amazing chef but is most famous for his TV life. I know this dinner may cost a lot of money so that’s why I brought along Stephen Curry. Stephen Curry may be a basketball player but he’s also a money maker. Jersey’s signed by Stephen Curry must cost a fortune. That’s why I would have him sign fifteen jersey’s to pay for the expensive dinner. The reason why I invited Elon Musk to my dinner is to get a job there. There is no way he will say no to me with Gordon Ramsay and Stephen Curry at the table. Those are the reasons I chose these people.

In March, I read the book Squirm by Carl Hiaasen. This book is a realistic fiction book about a teenage boy named Billy who is new to school. Billy never tries to make friends because he always ends up moving. Just like how his mysterious dad moved out when Billy was little. However, after all these years Billy finally has a chance to meet him. After meeting his dad’s new family he has many questions about him and doesn’t know what to think of the man. What do you think of Billy’s dad. Read to reveal what Billy’s dad is like.

If I were to give this book a rating, I would give it a four. Squirm is a great book to read if you liked Hoot or Chomp (Also written by carl Hiaasen). The reason I only gave Squirm a four is because it wasn’t a book I couldn’t put down. In other words, it wasn’t as amazing as Hoot or Chomp but still pretty good.

My favorite character in this book is Billy. This is because of Billy’s forgiving and understanding nature. I can’t think of anyone who would just forgive someone who walked out their life when they were little in only a few days after reuniting with them. Carl Hiaasen writes, “I should probably be angrier than I feel, but I admit there’s a huge sense of relief to be done with the first face-to-face moment, as crazy as it was.” (Page #106-107) This icee of evidence proves the fact that Billy is forgiving and doesn’t want to stay mad at his dad.

My favorite quote is, “‘Yeah,’ I said. ‘Scary crazy.’” (Page #264) At first glance this may not look like a funny quote but the quote before this is “‘But let me tell you, there’s some crazy-ass people out there.’” (Page #264) In the book Billy stops the bad guy from escaping by putting a rattle snake in the helicopter. This is significant because the officer doesn’t know who did it but Billy does.

A miniature golf assistant is the perfect job for me. The course I work on will be on the boardwalk in Ocean City. The biggest factor that made this job my dream job is that on downtime I can actually play myself. I am one out of many who love to play miniature golf, playing it everyday is a dream come true. This leads me to the second factor. I can challenge my friends and beat them every time. I will know every twist and turn and which hole ends up where. I will also love the shock on my friend’s when I end getting many holes in ones. My final reason I chose this job is because of the environment. On the Ocean City Boardwalk there are many things that would catch your eye. For example, you can find Fisher’s Popcorn on the boardwalk or that amazing taffy place next door to it. It’s like living on the boardwalk.

In February, I read the book Taken by Erin Bowman. In the book Taken, the main character named Gray lives in a town called Claysoot. Circling Claysoot is a wall, many have climbed and came back dead. Since then no one dared to climb the wall as it was suicide. In Claysoot there are no men. The source behind this is the heist. Every time a boy hits their eighteenth birthday they disappear. Some people have accepted the heist but others have tested it. Gray mother was one of whom decided to test the heist. After Gray’s ‘older brother’, Blaine is taken by the Heist, Gray finds the truth. One that his family was hiding from him to help save other boys. Will Gray go out for answers or will he wait for the heist to take him.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. If I could give this book a rating it would be an easy five stars. This book has many twists and turns, in a way it is like Avatar. In this book you will want and crave answers.

My favorite character in this book is Blaine. In this book, Blaine shows kindness instead of hate and chooses to think before he says something. I don’t know how the main character, Gray, would live without Blaine being their for him and cooling his flame when Gray gets in fights.on page #10 Blaine says, “‘I don’t give a crap if whether she cares about me or not. I’d rather know why my kid brother is beating up a girl half his size. You okay?’ he asks.” This is one of many examples of Gray needing Blaine in his life.

My favorite quote is on page #326, “‘Oh, quit your whining,’ Bo says. ‘She shot you with a rubber bullet and it was necessary.’” I like this quote because the main character, Gray, made it sound so dramatic. He thought his arm was on fire and didn’t get up until someone came to help him up. It must have been embarrassing.

I have found a cloak, an invisible cloak. I can’t believe my good fortune. After thinking about what to do, I decide to come up with three devious things to do because I wont be caught. The first thing I am going to do is steal every prize at an arcade. For the prizes that need a key, I am going to steal a key from the owner. After all, all arcades are rigged and deserve to be punished. The next thing I am going to do is to go to Chick-fil-a to steal all their waffle fries and honey mustard sauce. I am going to snag someone’s each time it is ready. This will make it very hard for the employees who forgot to bring the honey mustard when we order it. The last thing I am going to do, is walk into my neighbor’s house which is a few houses away at around six o’clock, to haunt them. The neighbor whose house I am going to haunt has been shouting rude things to us and try to mess with us so this is perfect payback. First, I will steal all their money and then make moaning sounds in the hallway to make them pee their pants. Finally I will throw tomatoes at them when they are in bed.

Imagine being stuck on a tropical unknown island. Well that’s me. On a nice sunny summer day me and my family took a cruise to the Bahamas. All was good until a sudden storm stuck down along with three unforgiving storms. I felt bad for the captain, not only did he have so much pressure but he had to drown with his ship. Me and my family got lucky. We found a half empty keg of water and floated on it. After everybody got over what happened, we made trips to gather food for our journey. After two days of no rescuers we found a tropical island. I don’t know what this island is called because it wasn’t on our map in the hotel room in the cruise. After scanning it out we were finally allowed to settle there. After bring supplies over, I was able to check the island out. This island was covered with coconut trees and blackberry bushes. The first couple of days were very hard. Many kids say they would like to live in a treehouse but living in a treehouse sucks. There are no showers and too many stairs. Some chores I do is hunt for food not only on land but there is also good stuff in the water. I also spend my free hours digging a well. It was hard work but eventually adapted.

If I had the choice to be able to see ten minutes into the future or one hundred and fifty yers into the future I would choose to see ten minutes into the future. The reason behind my choice is if you see one hundred and fifty years into the future it wouldn’t affect you, however if you look ten minutes into the future you could prevent something bad happening. For example, if my brother was planning to scare me the moment I walked out the bathroom, I would be ready for it and would spray sink water all over his face the moment he tries to scare me. Being able to see ten minutes in the future could also be useful in other ways too. I could figure out answers on a jeopardy or see what football team wins before they actually do. What would you choose?

In January, I read the book Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. This book is the finale of the series called Hunger Games. In this finale the main character, Katniss Everdeen is finally safe in rebel hands from the capital’s president, Snow. Throughout the book the war between the capital and the rebels is fierce. However, Snow’s biggest threat is Katniss, the girl on fire. She is the mockingbird. The symbol of the rebels. The rebels won’t win without her. Will she participate to be the mockingjay everyone needs or be finally done with it all.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has read the first two. However this book only makes sense if you’ve read the first two in order. I must admit this book is not better than the first book in the series but no book is. This book has to make my top ten books though.

My favorite character in this book is Peeta. Throughout the book Peeta has been so nice and forgiving to everyone even in the Hunger Games. Only when he is captured by the capital does Katniss know that she took him for granted. “‘No!’ bursts out Peeta. ‘I vote no, of course! We can’t have another Hunger Games!’” Even though the capitol killed his family, tortured him, and burned his district to the ground, he still is kind enough in his heart to spare the capitol children.

My favorite quote is on page 375, “My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.” I like this quote because Katniss always is on the verge of death whether it being in District 12, being in the arena twice, or just trying to kill herself in the hospital with the syringe. I also like this quote because it’s straight out funny. Who ever tells themselves that the should be dead?

In the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore quotes, “We all must face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” I believe this quote means what is right is not always easy. For example, during thanksgiving I could have made mashed potatoes because it is easy to make, but there were also three other people who were going to make mashed potatoes. So instead, even though it was harder, I made a cheesecake. This is an example of choosing what is right instead of choosing what is easy.

Somebody I really admire is my friend Ajay. There are many reasons why I admire Ajay. First of all he is an amazing role model who leads by example. When we play a game he will always include others. Not only that but if we wanted to play a game with someone else and was afraid to ask he would. He is also naturally very funny. When playing basketball he would pretend he was a real NBA basketball player. His arguments for the Tv is also pretty funny. The final reason I admire him is because he always brings a positive energy that is so nice to be around. Whenever he’s around no one could help but smile.
