new book

I am reading a new book. It is called Friday Night Lights. I am i not that far into the book but so far it is really good. In the first chapter it talks about the city of odessa and their football team. The fans for this city are really hyped up for he football season. They are chating "going to state in eighty eight". Then their star player Boobie suddenly gets injured in a scrimmige game because he is to eager to play a lot but its just a scrimmige. That is all that i have read so far and i have a while to go so that concludes another reading journal.

another reading journal

In breaking through it seems like panchito and his family never stop moving he is in high school but by the time i got done reading he was out of high school. He is looking to go to college but he wants to try to go to college in america. He comments many times that he never stops moving which means he is trying not to get caught by la migra. Immigration police. This book tought me the perspctive of an illigal immigrant and his family and how he tries to get his freedom. He shows great strength by nevr giving up because he knew that if he would of got caught his family and himself would be in trouble.

reading journal 2

Reacently in the book breaking through he learns how to drive and keeps asking papa if he can drive their buick. He is also now a in his junior year in high school and he thinks he is the perfect driver but he is still learning. I think this book has been pretty good so far but i dont think its one of the bestbooks i have read but it is pretty good. In the book i think time goes by to fast first hes little then all of a sudden he is in high school. Other than that the book has been ok.
