Bob No Ordinary Cat
By James Bowen
This autobiography’s setting begins in London where James
Bowen lived busking the streets, mostly around Covent Garden. That is an area
with wealthy hotels, restaurants, bars, pubs and theatres
where he played his guitar to earn some money to cover his daily needs. One
evening on the first floor of his building he found a ginger furred cat sitting
on someone's doormat. After few days James decided to adopt the cat until his
many wounds heal. The setting is important because it explains man’s daily
routine and life style. He plays his guitar every day so he can earn money for
food. He does not work anywhere and relies to people’s goodness and will to
give him couple of coins. When he adopted the cat James had to earn for his
own food plus food and medicine for the cat. James further explains how he
started busking the streets instead of living normal, usual life like other
people.

I thought that the word you chose were very new to you and that you gave a good example. Also I have read this book before and I enjoyed it very much and I hope you do too! I think that your paragraph had a lot of good information in it too!
