Into Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer Week 2

Jon Krakauer dreamed of climbing Everest as a child. This book is a non- fiction personal account of the Mount Everest disaster. The Mount Everest disaster happened on May 10, 1996. Four different expeditions were trying to reach the top, when a powerful storm came up suddenly All the climbers were trapped in a precarious position. Even strong and experienced climbers such as the guides Hall and Fischer could only struggle short distances down the peak. 

Though this is a nonfiction book it is written like a fiction adventure book. It is really interesting, but at the end kind of sad. I highly recommend it. There is lots of cursing in this book and some descriptions that are gory, but I think anyone in our class can read it and should. 

Happy Last Book Blog Everyone!!!!!!!

SOL From Spring Trip To Hawaii.

I am so tired and I wonder why do we have to roll our stupid suit cases over this grass? My head hurts, I'm tiered. Then, a chain of reactions happened.
First, the cement. I could roll my suitcase perfectly!
Second, I trained my eyes on to a picnic table where we were putting our stuff.
Last, I looked up and saw the ocean. A mere few yards away. I started running,
and running
         my suitcase tumbling
   behind
             me.
Upon arriving I -              - my suitcase and snapped a photo. Then I
                            dropped                                                                    ===ran straight onto the 



WAVES






                                                                                                                

Hyperbole and a Half By Allie Brosh

This a collection of true stories that all happened to the author, Allie Brosh. She talks a little bit about her depression and how she felt (or didn't). She also tells stories like the time a goose came into her house, or the time her mom got lost in the woods with Allie and her sister. I loved this book, I had wanted to read it for a while. When my mom finally handed it to me, I read it in a day! There are pictures in this book, but I don't think they have the majority of the book. There are a lot of curse words, but I think everyone in our class would like this book. These are some examples of the cartoons in the book:






And, of course: the cover:
