Monster was a great book and very interesting. When i started off i didn't think i would like it that much but as i went from page, to page it got better and better. I like how it was written like a play were you could think you could act it out. The main character was accused of committing a crime, and because of this was seen as a monster, but the crime was never proven. The main character in this book was very cool and of course since he was black i could relate. He was not a monster at all no people are no matter what race, or anything. I would rate this book a 3 out of 5 you should read it. But i found it also hard to remember some of the stuff i read so just have fun with the book.

The Big Fight: My Life in the Ring by Sugar Ray Leonard
This book was both touching and inspirational, because of what this man had to to go through, and because of what so many people said about him. How he would never quite, and how great he was. This is a nice book, and the part that made me love it is that when you think about the cover "The Big Fight" and Sugar Ray, you think its about him boxing. Well when you read the book you will find out its much more than that.
He had to control his life outside the ring, to be the best he could be inside the ring. His life was always a prise fight.
I rate this book a great 4 out of 5

Born To Play by Dustin Pedroia
This book takes you over everything about Dustin. It travels up and beyond his life and tells you how when he was really young got in to the game of baseball. No body thought he could do anything because of how tall he was but even as a small guy he did giant things. He is an out standing player even if i HATE the Boston Red Sox. This book also gives you diffrent points of veiw on Dustin and his great climb to the MLB (Major League Baseball).
I rate this book 3 and a half out of 5
Nobodys Perfect by Jim Joyce
This book was about a pitcher (Armando Galarraga) who was just one out away from a perfect game, and when a ground ball got hit to the first baseman, the pitcher went to cover first base. The runner was out by a mile but the umpire (Jim Joyce) called him safe. In this book you get both sides of the story from the pitcher saying he couldn't even be mad he only smiled, and the umpire being so disappointed in the call he had made. It also just tells you the story of what both men were doing before the game and after, and how it changed there life.
I would rate this a 3 out of 5

A To Kill a Mockingbird Poem
This is a truth
that applies to the human race,
yet to no particular race of men:
You never really understand a person,
until you consider things from his point of view,climb inside of his skin,
and walk around in it.
One thing that doesn't abide,
by majority rule;
a person's conscience.
It was times like these
When;
you rarely win,
only children weep,
the dead bury the dead,
one does not love breathing,
and there’s just one kind of folks:
folks.
I don't pretend to understand,
Why reasonable people,
go stark raving mad,
simply because they're still human;
that the one place,
where a man ought to get a square deal,
is in a courtroom,
be he any color of the rainbow.
It was times like these,
That,
food comes with death,
flowers with sickness,
and little things in between;
two soap dolls,
a broken watch and chain,
a pair of good-luck pennies,
and our lives.
It made me sad.
Yet delete the adjectives,
and I'd have the facts;
it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.-RachelEliza
