I was also taken aback at the gamesmasters’ decision to make only one team member survive.

I think that in the next book‚ Collins will make the fact that

Gale is a courageous young man who has very strong feelings for Katniss even though she doesn’t return the feelings. Then‚ there is Peeta Mellark. He’s another protagonist.

Many have encouraged me to read Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet‚ finally I decided to give it a try. I’m not a huge fan of reading‚ however I was told that I would thoroughly enjoy every page of what was described as an "edge of my seat" read.

I had to get a hold of this fictional novel. Brian Robeson‚ the main character of

The Hidden Side of Freakonomics Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner is a book aimed at exposing the secret within everything. The authors prove that in many cases‚ two items don’t have to be connected because they are correlated. Moreover‚ two unrelated items can in fact be connected. Proving so was less difficult than it would seem. All it took was the right information. They were able to prove the most unlikely of correlations. The authors stress that in a world where incentives

I believe that the books purpose is to inform readers about how we need decent parents. My favorite character I the book is the pigman. The pigman is my favorite character in the book because he finds friends and things to do even though he is very lonely. Mr. Pignati finds bobo and john and Lorraine. Even though it seems like
