The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
By: Ann Brashares
The section that I read today reminded me of the song True Friends by Hannah Montana. This is because the whole book is about the four girls’ friend ship. In the song true friends, Hannah says “you’re a true friend, you’re here til’ the end”. The best friends are always there for each other even when they are separated. I enjoy reading this book and listening to this song because I feel like anyone can relate to it.

The Last book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick

The Red Kayak
By Priscilla Cummings
The section that I read tonight reminded me of the song "If I could turn back time". It reminded me of this because Bradley mentioned that if he did warn Mr. D'Angelo not to go out on the kayak things may be totally different. Bradley was very upset with himself and he porbably wishes "he could turn back time." It was all he thought about for so long. He even had to discuss it with his Cousin Carl who is a peramedic. Bradley feels guilty about the whole situation.

Catch 22
by Joseph Heller
The section i read today reminded me of the video game Battle Field, Road to Rome because the section was basically talking about how Yossarion and his crew are bombers. Battlefield is about world war 2 and they have several missions involving bombing of cities. The setting of the first few chapters of this back is first in a hospital, but mainly in between world war 2. Yossarion is basically a navigator and his friend Havermayer is the bomber. Havermayer tends to get into fights with the crew because he is such a good bombardier and they are jealous, but the captain; Colonell Cathcart covers his back and defends him.

Goal 2 Living the Dream
This section that i read today reminded me of a song that constantly plays on Nickelodeon called "im out" by the Naked Brothers Band because there is a conflict bewtween roz and santiago and roz sounds like she is threatening to leave him. This incident in the book reminded me of this song because the song is about leaving when someone treats you a bad way. Santiago cant come home for christmas and never came home once since departing from newcastle. Roz is very mad at him and his coach because Santi broke his foot bad and hes not aloud to leave team campus. Roz is mad at this i would be two if my wife could not come home for Christmas. Santi was playing soccer with gaving in his basement stepped and caught his foot in a spoke and fell it was tradgic he will miss plenty of games 10 weeks actually. Roz might be out unless Santiago could get home for Christmas time. that IS why the section i read today reminnded me of this sonf by The Naked Brothers Band.

Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea
By Jules Verne
The section that i read today reminded me of the song We All Live In A Yellow Submarine by the Beatles, because Proffesser Aronnax, consiel, and Ned Land are trapped in the submarine of the mysterious pirates. They are being held captive in a tiny dark room underwater.

The Lovely Bones
By: Alice Seabold
The section that I read today reminded me of a song called "Does anybody Hear Her", By: Casting Crowns. The song is about a girl who is trying to find a person who will give her shelter and affection, but because everyone is too selfless nobody will listen to her. Also when she does trust one person he disobeys her. It compares to the book because Susie does trust her neighbor and everything goes horribly wrong.

Double Play
The section that I read reminded me of the song "one" by Metallica because the main character Joesph Burke was shot with in a line by a turret. He had a line of bullets up his chest and, as the song said, felt the darkness closing in and felt the pain overwhelming his body. The thing is that Joe surrvives and gets out of the military.
Chuck Herrmann
Into The Darkness
by Harry Turtledove
The section that I read today reminded me of the song Do You Hear What I Hear, because Captain Sabrino is in war. He hears a lot of pain and suffering. All he can do is keep going because it is his job and he has no other choice. In the book it describes how every night Sabrino prays for all of his fallen comrads and for the fallen enemy.

Splinter Cell "checkmate" By David Michaels
The Section I read today reminds me of the Die Hard movies. The day always starts out like every other untill,some maniac has some kind of fantasy about payback or just some kind of stpid plan that will set them on the most wanted list. In my book Sam Fisher is on a simple training exercise when a cargo ship with a radioactive scale off the charts. So Sam is dropped off at the ship.

The Jump
By: Ian O'Connor
The section I read today reminded me of the song Basketball by Bow Wow. It reminds be because its about a ghetto basketball players life style. Sebastian Telfair lives in a ghetto area of Coney Island. They also talk about the love of the game of basketball. Sebastian loves the game of basketball and puts his all into what he does best.

Enders Games
By, Olson Scott Card
The section that I read today reminded me of the book Dragonball, by Akira Toriyama because it gave me that fealing, when somebody outsmarts or overpowers somebody either with strength or intelligence. I really enjoy reading about people who have phenominal abilities which create huge gaps between their oponents.

Black Powder War
Naomi Novik
The section I read today reminded me of the movie Eragon, because the way the dragons act the way they react to human interaction. In the movie Eragon and the book black dragon powder the dragons helped humans, especially with transportation and fighting. The book and the movie both took place in the past and revolved around the fact that dragons were good, smart creatures, and not stupid, evil killing machines. I love the book black powder war so far but the movie Eragon was not good. This book and movie were very similar but the book is more detailed.
The section I read today reminded me of the song Almost Lover by Forever Frenzy because in this song it starts saying how she was falling in love with somone but they left and she never got to tell him how she felt. This is kind of like Jason and her. They both were starting to fall in love with each other and she was ready to tell him and he was ready to tell her. They didnt beacuse they were both scared the other person wasnt ready so when jason went away to camp it reminded me of the song.

The biograohy of Bath Ruth
The section i read today reminded me of an eposode that i saw on espn. They were talking about the home run record and if Babe Ruth would of played as long as
Bary Bonds he would still have the home run record. In my mind Babth ruth is the best of all time. If he played as long as Bary Bonds he would have the home run record.

In this section i was reminded me of my own hockey team, because when I got hurt my team was there to help me and support me. I had hurt my back bad and could relate to this. I remember goin to the games and standing on the bench to watch my team play.
Gary Watson
Pirates of The Caribbean Dead Mans Chest
The section that i read today reminded me of my favorite part in Pirates of the caribbean movie. The party that i'm talking about is at the end when Elizabeth Swan handcuffs Jack Sparrow on the ship to face the Kraken. This is my favorite part because when he gets his hand out of the handcuffs they show him standing in front of the Kraken with his sword out getting ready to face the Kraken. I dont know why he even takes his sword out because there is no way he would be able to kill it. This is why it reminded me of the movie.
Kelli Audley
Anne of Green Gables
L.M. Montgomery
The section I read today reminded me of a movie because in the movie this girl named Sarah and her dad are very close. There is a war going on and he father feels that it is his duty to go and fight for his country. So while he was away at war she stayed in a boarding school for girls. The head master of the school was a wretched old lady who obviously hated what she did. When Sarah found out that her father died at war and therefore he couldn’t pay to have her living at the school she instantly became a slave. It turns out that her dad was alive and living right next door to the school. In the end she brought her friend to come and live with her and her father happily ever after. This movie reminded me of the book because the girl’s imagination kept her alive at the school when she w2as a slave. Since she was so kind and had a huge imagination she survived. Sarah reminded me so much of Anne.

The Tenth Cicle
by Jodi Picoult
The section I read today reminded me of a LifeTime movie because it is always dramitic. Trixie's fathers finds out that Trixie is in Alaska. Trixie ran away because when she was sexual assaulted she was blammed of killing her attacker. I think that they should make this into a movie because of how much detail of drama is in it. Lifetime movies usally have alot of dramatic accidents and they were the first thing that popped into my head.
