Sweet Lemon Brown

I thought this story was kind of interesting to read because of all of the different scenes that go on in the story. I made some connections with Lemon Brown being homeless, and how Greg's dad pushed him with his grades and how he needs to succeed later on in his life. But all in all, after I read the story I really thought back about the beginning of this story how Greg had not cared at all what his father had to say. That was until Lemon Brown had talked with him when they had met in the house, and at the end of the story he was smiling about knowing he was going to get a lecture from his dad. The end of the story really made sense and was comparable to what Lemon Brown and Greg had their conversations about. This connects to what we learned about homelessness because we learned that not all homeless people have to look poor or look like they are dirty and messy. In the end, Greg changed from a moody teenager to a teenager who now understood his responsibilities and what must be done to have the important happiness in his father's mind.

Jinx's Magic summary

The first book that I read in this quarter was called Jinx's Magic and it was a good book. There were four main characters and their names were Jinx, the wizard who;s name was Simon, the Bone-master of the Urwald, and Elfwyn. The Bone-master was the what they called the "Evil guy" in their kingdom. As for Jinx, him and his other two friends Simon and Elfwyn go on a hunt to get to the end of the Urwald so they can get clues and helpful tips from other wizards about how to take down and hunt the Bone-master. But during their hunt, Jinx and his mighty friends end up getting to a hidden village. The only thing was, this village was different then what they are used to seeing. This place was a desert land of Samurai which is where he might find the secret spells and secrets to destroy the Bone-master. And during his hunt, he then finds out that the Urwald is in more danger than it was before. You can find out what happens at the end if you read this book "Jinx's Magic."
