LEFT FOR DEAD

Left For Dead was written by Pete Nelson and it is 191 pages.  The sinking of the USS Indianapolis happened on July 30, 1945.  The ship was attacked by a Japanese submarine just after midnight and the captain was wrongly charged for it being partly his fault.  An 11 year old boy, Hunter Scott, put a picture of the ship in his history project that ended up clearing the captain's name.

"Don't Stop Believin'"

I chose the song Don't Stop Believin'  because it helps me to move forward and to not to stop believing in myself.  I like this song because  it has great lyrics and it has a catchy tune.  Comment if you like the song!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend I went to my mom's friend's house and I had a great time. We watched a football game, jumped on the trampoline, and played video games. The next day, we had a party for my mom's birthday. We (the kids) played a football game, a baseball game, and went swimming. Monday, I read my book and played with my friend, Miles. This was a great way to end the summer.
