Finishing Oogy

Summary
My book Oogy is about how a family in 2002, Larry levin the author and his twin sons were going to the animal hospital to put their cat to sleep. The bad day became the best day. A dog that just had one ear caught their attention. The dog has been living in a world of terror.  Oogy lived in a world of dog fighting. He was used to train other dogs but, that didn't let the levin family leave him they adopted them and took car of him. Until this day Oogy still lives with a caring family the levin family. One thing that I really love about this book  is that the dog still like humans some dogs in Oogy's position might believe that all human are the same but, no he let them in his life. I also like how even though he has battle scars the levin family stills loves him.




Conflict
Person Vs. self
Oogy was found when a police found the dog fighting center. He was taken to a animal  hospital. Diane was the director of operations she  ask Dr. Bianco if he could do anything to save the dog, There Dr.Bianco took a look at the dog to see if he could of done something to save him. He told Diane there wasn't a possible way to save him but, that did not stop Diane. She told him he had to save the dog. Dr. Bianco did a surgery that took seven hours. Then another complication happen. Oogy didn't want to eat. Dr. Bianco was worried. Oogy had a jawbone that was lose and was in extreme  pain whenever he took a bite of something. The bone was crushed when Oogy was in the dog fighting.

Call of Duty

When I was reading the scope article of  "Call of duty" in class I  was thinking about the main character Jose. Jose was a solider.  His jobs was to find bomb that were hidden  by Taliban fighters. His partner  Zenit was a german shepherd. Zenit help Jose find bombs that were on the ground. Jose wasn't Zenit's  owner so when he got seriously hurt. He couldn't be able to work and Zenit was assigned to some other solider. I couldn't believe that Jose would go through everything to get Zenit back. Jose was one the those people who wouldn't give up. I think that was the message that he was trying to give. I also believe to not give up to who those who you need  just like Zenit and Jose.

Point of view Oogy

In my book Oogy the point of view is first person I know this because my character narrates the story with I, me, and mine." I put on my tuxedo. How often would I get to be a father and bring two boys home." In this sentence the authors uses the word I and my. It is not written in second person because the author does not use the word you or your. I also think it might be third person because its uses words like her, he, she, and they. "She wanted to make sure that she would give them the best possible start in life."I'm sure that the book is viewed in first person.

Summary Oogy

I am reading the book Oogy and, so far I have learned that  Oogy is a dog who was in a world of dog fighting. When fighting his left side of his face was gone including his ear. He was rescued when he was two months old. He was in the hospital when the levin family saw him. He was adopted to the  levin family Larry, Jennifer, and their adopted twins sons dan and noah. Would Oogy adjust to his new family? Would the levin family love Oogy? Would they accepted his looks? Would Oogy change the hearts of the family?

Treasure of Lemon Brown Summary

On Monday me and my class started to read a short story of the Treasure of Lemon Brown. while we were reading the story I was shocked because lemon brown treasure meant a lot to him even though it wasn't gold or money. Since in class we been talking about homelessness and how people become homeless. I learned another reason how people became homeless. I was surprised to hear about how lemon brown became homeless because it wasn't a reason that we have discussed  about in class. What also surprised me was Greg because how he changed throughout the story . First he was annoyed because his dad would pressure him about getting better grades but when Greg meets Lemon Brown he notices  that his dad cared a lot about him.
