Skink No Surrender #3

Well Later the Governor said that "I intend to find your cousin. Want to come?" Well later Richard starts to talk about his step dad and that how better his mom like him that he isn't the best but he is the guy who loves her. So Trent did a favor to Richard and he did it, after he Richard started to pack for his trip.

I think that Richard and Skink are really worried for his cousin Malley because they put matter into their own hands. I think that they are going to go like cool investigators like police in tv shows. But either way they are trying to really find out the case. And I think that they are going to do something amazing and risky.

Skink No Surrender

In the begging of the book he just sitting their waiting for his cousin Malley to show up. It was later at night he had called her but she did not pick up. Later in the text he was talking about turtle and how he has never seen a turtle lay their eggs but seen a nest of a turtle. So he herd a noise got up and grabbed a bat that he had since little league his mom made him carry it because of creepy people. Richard the main character did not know what the breathing was until he saw a straw in the middle of the sand and took it out, a man jumped out he was an older man and them they started arguing their. The old man was named Clint Tyree he was well known but people also thought that he was dead but he wasn't. While Richard was going home his cousin texted him and said that she was grounded when he arrived home he saw his step-dad watching t.v. Richard then started talking about his dad and how he died. He feel asleep and the next morning he got a text that his cousin Malley was gone and she was in a lot of trouble.

I think that Richard get into a lot of arguments because when he found the old man Clint. They started to argue until they calmed down and started to know each other more. Another one when his Cousin Malley was calling him and she had lied to him about her being grounded and "Left for early orientation"  But he figured out that she wasn't grounded or that she went to early orientation. So he told her that she was in a lot of trouble and she hung up on him and they had like a little bit of in argument because she had lied to him and didn't say anything to anyone where she was going.

Franklin D Roosevelt #4

Summary: Franklin was a complicated man a lot of people would say but in the text is says that his secretary of the interior said “You are a wonderful person, but you are one of the most difficult men to work with I have ever seen”. Also in another part of the book franklin had a very close friend and that Franklin had some many personalities that if you were talking to him and then he would change his personality to other one of his personality. But in the next chapter it talked about the war especially Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 “A day which will live in infamy”, Then the president signed the declaration of war with Japan that same day the England declared war on Japan, then tree days later Germany and Italy declared war on the United Sates. The first big tree meeting which was the Stalin from Russia, Roosevelt from the United States, and Churchill from Britain meet in Teheran, Iran, November 29, 1943. Franklin during the war would go visit american troops he was the first president to go to visit during war. Franklin had a terrible headache and then slumped forward in his armchair then suffered massive cerebral hemorrhage. Paris was liberated then Hitler shot himself and Germany surrendered and then the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan and then they surrendered. The war was over. 


Sign Post: The sign post that I remembered was “Words of the Wiser” Because Franklin said “ A day which will live in infamy"  I thought that those word were wise because America entered the war and won years later. I think that if we didn’t join that Britain would of been a lot of trouble. And with a good leader to lead us to the war but he did not get to see the last end of the war he died before the war ended.

Franklin D Roosevelt #3

Summary:  Roosevelt wanted to run for governor but they were rumors going around because he was becoming physically disabled. People in the text were saying that he did not need to be acrobat to become a governor he did most of the stuff behind the desk anyway. Roosevelt won the election and became the governor of New York. In that time It was around the great depression and a lot of people did not have a job. At the time President Hoover was trying to get the people to get out of depression. Roosevelt led the people out of depression when he became governor in New York. He addressed the Democratic convection in Chicago July 2 when he became a the president.


Character Trait: The Trait that I would give president Franklin D. Roosevelt is He was determined to do something cause in the book the author wrote that “New York was the first state to fight unemployment by direct government action.” Which President Roosevelt took action of his state as governor to change things around. He would get more people jobs and get money to make other peoples family.
