When the Wall came down

The title of my book is "When The Wall Came Down". The author of this book is Serge Schemann. This book gives information about different parts of the German history, it gives a little over all view about World War one and two. Berlin was separated into four pieces after Germany lost the second world war. Then it finally was separated into two parts the east controlled by the Soviet Union and the rest  by Germany. Even though Germany had just lost a war they quickly picked them self up and became the country with the third best economy in the world. So off cores people moved to that part of the city as it had better opportunities for living. But as time past the Soviet Union understood they had to do something about it so they put up barbed wire and soldiers to take care that no one crosses but people found lots of creative ways in which they would escape. So the Soviets build  wall to separate the two parts of Berlin and made it impossible  to cross.
The quotation that I have chosen is " Viktor! What on earth are you doing here?" This is what the author said when his  assistant who lived in east Berlin and could not pass the border until the wall wasn't down.

The book that am I reading is still the book about Michael Jackson. Till now the band moved to South California to record some their new hits and also to start their lives. Michael Jackson was leaving with a really popular singer back then called Diana Ross. He really loved he work and her song that she did. Michael spent every day with her till one they when they recorded their five new hits and started going to many shows around California and sing them. That is when Michael got his first single to sing. The quote that I like is “In thee fall 1971 I got my first solo record Got to Be There.”

Going Solo

Book: Going Solo
Author: Roald Dahl
Number of pages: 205


*Hey everyone! So, I continue reading book called Going Solo. The more I read it, the more I like it. So here is what happened in last 45 pages! Hope you enjoy!
P.S. I read only one big paragraph , and it has 45 pages! 

Roald had climbed in his new Gladiator and hat set off alone to join 80 Squadorn in the Western Desert. The date was 19 September, 1940. They told Ronald to fly across the river Nile. Before this flight, all of the pilots had education about flying, so he knew basic things, and even more then that. He started to fly. He was so exciting. Roald knew that the flight will take him about an hour, maybe a little bit more. But suddenly the gas for a plane was gone. The plane had no gas! He was very scary because, for the first time he was on his own, no one could help him or tell him what to do. Roald looked down. He saw only the desert. He  started to panic? What  if plane crashes and he died in desert , without any water or food. What if he never sees his mum again? What if he never speak to his mum again, never see her eyes?
But he decided to be brave. In his brain he ''drew'' a finish line. He knew that he could win, that he could survive. On same way Roald did it. Maybe God sent him a special power, desire to survive to be on his feet on land, and yes he was on the land but not on his feet. He landed, he survived but hi was very hurt and blind!
The next thing that Roald remembers was a hospital car. Yes, he was in it, in the hospital bed next to the doctor and Sister. The Sister was afraid that Roal was dead. She told him that if he is alive, that he needs to press her hand. And he did it. He could hear, he could speak, he could move but he couldn't see. He thought that he could never see again. But was he right? Continue reading and you will find out...
So, he arrived to the hospital. He was alone in the hospital room. And then Sister came. He could feel her blonde, long hair and hear her beautiful voice, but he couldn't see her eyes. He was again sad. She did to him some treatments and his eyelids start to open! He could see clear three things!!! He started to see more things and finally he could see her. She was more beautiful than he imagine. He was so happy. He started to jump, to shout. His happiness could never end. 
Roald sent his mum letters, and put in them all his emotions, feelings, every single word he wrote there, he wrote it from the heart.


Quotation 1: ''At this point, dusk began to fall and I realized that I was in trouble. My fuel was running low and there was no way I could get back to Fouka on what I had left.''
Quotation 2: '' When they turned me over in the dark to get better look, I must have swum back into consciousnes because I can districly remember hearing one of them asking me how I felt, but I was enable to reply. 


I'm really looking forward to read more about this book, and i honestly hope you enjoyed! :)
 

Marie Antoinette

Title: Marie Antoinette 
Author: Antonia Fraser
Number of pages read in total: 100 


As you probably already predicted, the book I'm still reading is Marie Antoinette. During the last hundred pages, I have learned about all the negative things that are starting to happen to Marie. It happens so that in the first few chapters its all so bright, and picture perfect, but not the real problems start. I think that someone is trying to kill Marie, so he/she can take over the kingdom, but I'm not positive, because I don't have all evidence that supports that. Anyway, the things that I really don't like about this book, is that there are so many words i don't know, which makes it really difficult for me to understand whats going on at that moment. So, in the first few chapters, I read about all the fancy things she does, but then after two chapters of that, it started becoming more and more difficult. Things just started to happen, and the young Marie was accused of that. Also I learned something about her children, Sophie and Louis Josheph. Also, the chapters taught me about her family, and how both of her parents were killed, how her brothers and sisters were killed how she was a true orphan. Its really sad though, how she was all alone for many years suffering with so many terrible things, and then one day she became so classy and rich. Also, she was married as practically a teenager, and unfortunately that was normal in that time.

If I had to rate this book, from what I read so far, i would give it a 8/10 because I think its very descriptive, its interesting, and I really enjoy all the action parts that happen. But on the other hand, I think that its really confusing sometimes, and the sentence structure is really difficult to understand. I wish that It can be more happy, because from what I'm reading its mostly sad, and it just goes on talking about her life.

Author: Malolm Gladwell
Pages read: 45

This wek I am reading book Outliers. The book is about that if you do anything 10 years you can become proffesional. There are bunch of stories in my book. One chapter one story. I read three storiees and I am going to summarize what I read.

Introduction is about similat towns in Italy. Towns are only miles apart. Chapter oneis about town Roseto and how he has really bigger population than others. It has many othe life expectancies than others. Basicly that's about first chapter.

Chapter one seeks to answer the question why athletes on elite Canadian teams were all born in the same few months of their birth year. That's because if you are older probably you are stronger. So they wanted to everybody have same strenght.

Finnaly Chapter two is the most interesting chapter. It is about why Bill Gates and Beatles succeeded for the same reason. Gladwell was noting that Mozart and chess grandmaster both succeeded in ten years. 10 years is 10,000 hours. 10,000 is the magic umber of greatness. Basicly this is third chapter.

Quotation of chapter one - One warm, spring day in May 2007, the Nedicine Hat Tigers and the Vancouver Giants met for the Memorial Cup hockey championships in Vancouver, British Columbia.
I have setting

Quotation of chapter two - The University of Michigan opened its new Computer Center in 1971, ina a brand-new building on Beal Avenue ina Ann Arbor, with beige-brick exterior walls and a dark-glass front.

Quotation for introduction - Roseto Valfortore lies one hundred miles southeast of rome in the Appennine foothills of the Italian province of Foggia.

The First Three Minutes (Final Post)

The First Three Minutes

 

 

 

Author: Steven Wienberg

Pages: 224

 

This week I am reading and finishing my nonfiction book "The First Three Minutes" by Steven Weinberg. I read about as science investigates the scientific explanation of the creation of the universe there is a great controversial issue developing between science and religion. I chose the quote “With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”

― Steven Weinberg.
