My Alternate Life pgs12-73

The letter that her case worker gave her turns out to be a game on the computer that she can play and its like her life back where she use to live.I the title makes sense to me now.So far her and Kelly aren't getting along at all they just keep bumping heads.Trinitys first day of her new school didn't go so good everybody thought she was weird.The only people that kind of accepted her were the geeks.Trinity really wants to be with her mom but she can't be.This game on the computer is freaky because shes able to write stuff and it shows her for example if she types in I want to see my mom it'll take her there and she can hear what shes saying I dont know if its a fake game but its weird.Trinity thinks that if she gets queen for the dance then her mom might take her back,so shes trying to get the popular guy to ask her but thats a bad plan gone really bad!!
(I plan on finishing this book and doing my podcast on it)

My Alternate Life pgs 1-12

The first chapter of this book seems good.So far it about a girl named Trinity who has been in and out foster homes.Her case worker is taking her to her new home whit a mom named Susan and her daughter named Kelly.Trinity doesn't really want to be here she'd rather be at her old home with her boyfriend.As shes getting out of the car her case worker Fred hands her a letter and tells her not to open it until she gets to a computer.It seems like Kelly doesn't really like her because they are very different.

Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul pg 7-9

I read a short story called The Tower.This was probably one of the sadest stories ever! Its about a ten year old boy named John and James.John suffers from autism so his older brother James watches him closely.But one day he got out of his eyesight and ran off to climb this 125-foot electrical tower behind there home. As soon as James noticed that he was missing he went after him and rescued him so that he didnt get electricuted.Luckily he didnt and they both got rescued.John went to the hospital because he was out in the cold but other than that he was okay.

Heartland pgs 1-20

I started to read this book called Heartland written by Lauren Brooke. I really couldnt get into it so I stopped reading it after the first 20 pages.So far I've gathered that its about a girl named Amy who lives on a farm called heartland.And theres a guy named Ty that works on the farm and she likes him hes only 17.I just couldnt get into it when i was reading it this past week.

A Child Called "It" chapter 4

This chapter made me want to just cry I couldn't believe the things he had to go through just to get food!!His mom would forget to feed him.How on earth do u forget to feed your child??He would steal lunch from his classmates while they were outside playing.On the weekends him mom would punish him by not feeding him.That summer they went on vacation to the Russian River by then he felt that things might be getting better but he was so wrong! His dad was getting ready to take his brothers out and him,but his mom said that he had to stay home so he did.During this part of the book it made me want to throw up she smeared his little brothers diaper in his face and then wanted him to eat it by this time his dad was returning home so she made him clean up as if nothing ever happened.He was so desperate for food that after his nightly chores he would dig through the trash just to eat something his mom was finding out that he was eating so she would pour ammonia in the trash so he could no longer eat from the trash.I couldn't imagine not eating food is one of the main things in my life.Sitting here writing this makes me want to cry again.

A Child Called "It" chapter 3

In this chapter it talks about how the mom drastically changes from this kind nurturing mother to this wicked witch.Her form of punishment seems a little harsh first she makes him stand in the corner for hours hes to afraid to say anything so he just stands there til his mom says to leave.Then she changes punishment to the mirror treatment she would grab him and smash his face against the mirror smearing his tears on the glass making him say "I'm a bad boy! His father was never home anymore.One day she came at him drunk and jerked his arm and ended up braking it she had no remorse for doing it either all she did was make him sleep in the top bunk so when his father would ask what happened he would just say he fell out of the top bunk.Most of his beatings happend when his dad was away.I'm so shocked that this mother could do this to her own son.People like her shouldn't be allowed near children not even her own!!!!

A Child Called "It" chapter 2

When I read chapter 2 it seemed way better to me!!It was talking about how his life use to be good and the things he and his family did together.His dad is a firemen,so he wasn't home a lot.So his mom would take him and his brothers on trips around the city and teach them things(he was in kindergarten when this was happening).It seemed like a picture perfect family to me like nothing could go wrong.Around the holidays the mom would do wonderful things for them and let them have a lot of pets.And the one thing she liked to do was cook.And I guess now she hates it.I'm anxious to finish the book to see what went wrong!
