For this month I read The One and Only Ruby by Katherine Applegate.

This book is about a baby elephant Ruby and her friends. Ruby got moved out of her habitat and moved to a shopping mall, and she met her new friends there. After Ruby was moved to the shopping mall her friends see the truth of why they live there. They all want the same goal of going so they work together to achieve it. Their goal is to escape the shopping mall and all get home to their habitat.

I don’t really enjoy reading but reading The One And Only Ruby is a different for me I really enjoyed this book and I would definitely read it again. I would one hundred percent recommend this book to any reader.

My Favorite character is Ivan. Ivan is my favorite character because he is very protective, and he doesn’t let people mess with his friends. One of Ivans character traits is observant. A quote that proves this character trait is, “humans always seem to do things the hard way, “Ivan mutters. “You’d think they’d learn from us.” This shows that Ivan observes humans and what they do and if they do it wrong or right and how humans can be dumb. For these reasons Ivan is observant and my favorite character.

My favorite quote from the book The One And Only Ruby is, “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” This is my favorite quote because it is wise, and it shows that it’s never to late to change and turn your life around.

There are so many people I would want to invite to dinner, but these are my top three. First I would invite Mr Beast, because I could ask him to put me in one of his youtube videos, and I would want to be in one of his youtube videos because I would become famous and well known. The second person I would invite is Jeff Bezos, because he can give me advice on how to start my own business and become rich. Than for the last person I would invite is Shaquille O’Neal, because Shaq is one of my favorite basketball players and he is very funny nice and caring.

If I could have any job in the entire world, I would be an NBA player. 1 reason that I would want to be a NBA player is that even though I don’t play Basketball I like playing for fun. Another reason is that you also you get paid really good in the NBA in one season I would make 9 to 11 million. One last reason is that I would be famous and I would be very popular. After a few years in the league I would retire and get a cozy modern house and live with my family. I would then buy a 72 volt surron. Also I would get a ice cream machine because I love ice cream and my kids would too.

A magician has made me invisible for twenty four hours. I first wake up on a, and I get a call from a no caller Id, and I answer it and I hear a quiet screechy voice tell me that for the next 24 hours I’m invisible. I quickly end the call and run to the bank with three duffel bags. Once I’m there I get in the vault and fill all the duffel bags with 100 dollar bills. Then I run out and go to a charity once I’m there I dump 2 duffel bags out on the floor and run to the closet bike store and buy a surron ultra bee. I bring the rest of the money home and hide it under my bed. After I use my surron to go to canes and I eat and then I tip canes 100 bucks. After I go home I go to sleep.

For this month I read The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.

The Book The One and Only Ivan is about a gorilla named Ivan who has lived in a shopping mall circus ever since he was a young gorilla. Ivan is a interesting gorilla even tho he’s been in captivity for most of his life. Even tho Ivan is a gorilla he watches TV, and he draws. Ivan will spends most of his day’s watching TV, drawling, and talking to his friends, an elephant named stella, and a Stray dog named bob. Ivan thought he would stay in captivity for the rest of his life and that, captivity was a common thing and was normal and not bad, but than a baby elephant arrives at the shopping mall circus, the baby elephants name is Ruby and she does’t know where she is. After this Ivan starts to see the truth of being in the captivity and he promises to help Ruby find a better home. This book shows Ivans journey to try and understand his past so his future can turn out better.

I liked this book because of the interesting plot and the way the story is written. When I was reading the book I felt like I could feel what Ivan was feeling and thinking at all times. The adventure and plot makes you interested to see what happens next and keep reading on.

My favorite character is Ivan because I have always liked gorillas, and Ivan is brave and he cares for his friends a lot which I respect. A character trait of Ivans that stands out to me is Intelligent, a quote that represents this is, “Humans waste words. They toss them like banana peels and leave them to rot.” This quote shows that Ivan is very observant of the world around him.

My favorite quote from the book is, “Memories are precious they help tell us who we are.” This quote is important to me, because it shows that the memories you make is important because it show who your are as a person.

 

It’s another day in paradise on my abandoned island. I live on an abandoned island with no way of getting home but I live in paradise everyday. I was on a huge cruise ship with my family for spring break and all of the sudden we hit a massive animal that I’ve never seen before, it was about the size of a baseball field. We got tipped backwards because of the massive monster, and I was lucky enough to not land under the ship and get drowned. I found a plank of wood and slowly floated away while I went unconscious because of the impact when I hit the water. When I woke up I was on the shore of the island i’m on right now. The reason Im in paradise is that the island i’m on is huge, and has everything I need to live and more. On this island there is a small cozy 1 story that was here before I got here. Theres unlimited coconut trees, theres also a fruit farm with almost every fruit that I could imagine. Theres animals that I can hunt for food. Also theres trees for me to use and build things with, and lastly theres a huge lake for water. I could live here forever even tho I miss my house, but this is the best island I could’ve hoped for.

This month I read a book called, “The one and only Bob,” by Katherine Applegate.

Bob a small but brave dog, goes on a journey of courage. After Bob survives a hurricane, he reunites with his best friends, Ivan a gorilla and Ruby an elephant. Throughout the story, Bob learns what it means to be loyal strong, and part of a family.

I liked this book because it’s full of adventure and Bob is such a likable character, his journey shows how even the smallest and most unlikely hero’s can make a big difference. The book is also sad and engaging making it a perfect book to read for all ages.

My favorite character is Bob because of his bravery. Even though he is small, he faces many dangers head first. One example is when he says, “I may be tiny, but I’m one tough dog.” This quote shows that bob is determined and courage, and never letting his size define his abilities.

My favorite quote from the book is, “you can’t let fear define you. You gotta stand up, even when things get tough.” This quote is meaningful to me because it reminds me that facing challenges with courage is important in life, even when things seem difficult or scary.

The quote i’m going to interpret is by Dumbledore. Dumbledore quotes, “We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy”. This quote means to me that you always have to choice to do it the easy way or the hard way. This could mean doing your homework messy which is fast and easy, or you could do your homework neat and slow, but get a better grade. This quote relates to me because sometimes I do my homework fast and get a alright grade, but when I think each question through and do it slow I get a better grade and i’m happier.

My hero is LeBron James. LeBron is one of the best basketball players in the world and is my hero. One reason LeBron is my hero is that he is very funny, I’ve seen many TikTok’s about him saying something funny or doing something funny. Another reason LeBron is my hero is he is very motivational because he was poor as a kid and his mom couldn’t afford to much and LeBron also went from high school straight to the NBA. One last reason LeBron is my hero is the fact that he is still in the NBA with his son, and he has another son thats gonna make the NBA. These reasons are why I love LeBron and he is my hero and my goat.
