1st Entry: Introduction From the title of this book‚ I could infer that the book will be about how the elements were discovered‚ the origin of their names and the people who discovered each element that is now a part of the periodic table. The author of the book‚ Hugh Aldersey-Williams‚ must be an individual of great knowledge and has a deep interest and understanding of chemistry—or else he would have never wrote this book. In this book‚ I expect that I would be able to learn how the ancients

1. When the book first starts off the book talked about mr. Peabody and how he catches the baseball teem. This reminds me of when I was a little girl and played t-ball and soft ball. I could remember being Luton the field waiting for the ball. However‚ I wasn’t as expected about playing as Billy is in the book. I like to play the game to a point but standing out in the field I got bored and would play with my glove or in the dirt. 2. There is one part in the book were mr. Peabody teaches Tommy

The book I decided to read is The Things They Carried which was written by Tim O’Brien. The book is a bunch of connected short stories of a platoon of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The work is a piece of fiction that uses real names and includes the author himself as the protagonist.

Overall‚ the book was interesting insight on the Vietnam War and a very good book to read.

The novel starts with its main character‚ Alex Rogo‚ struggling to create success for a manufacturing plant making some fictional product and a threat that
