Confused Life

Med head by James Patterson
     

Second quarter outside reading book review.


     The main character Cory Friedman he suffers from tourette's syndrome. He was five years old when he figured this out. Hes not able to control it at all, he’ll be in class jerking or twitching. Telling Cory to stop only makes him do it more. You can't blame Cory for this, he tries so hard to be normal tries really hard to control it but he can't and he still gets in trouble for something that he can't control. His doctor makes him take medicine he tries so many an none of them work.
   One quote from the book is “My knock-down, Drag-out, Drugged-up  battle with my brian”. Med head back of the book.
    The writer explains stuff so good, he talks about his life. For some writers thats very hard for them to expose their life out to the world and not care who reads it at all. I haven't read any books by James Patterson the way he wrote the book really grabbed my attention.
     My relationship with this book id say that it really spoke to me. Not to judge people by the way they look because you never know what they are going through at the time. I have a friend with tourettes and whenever he texts he’ll put his finger in the air an one time i asked him why he does that then he told me he had tourettes. And since then ive never treated him different i've treated him the same as i treat everybody else.
      I give Med head 5 paws - Devour it.

Wonderful Things

Theres things you dream about everyday. Think about anything you want in the world, and then compare it to something that's priceless. We never think about what we really have. No one thinks about the less fortunate. We all take most stuff we have for granted we don't realize how easy we have it. Back in the olden days most kids had to play outside not sit on their cell phones all day long. Mostly everyone’s television was non colored so it was in black and white. Were all spoiled to have these things we have, some kids aren't as lucky as us.
        The most priceless thing to me is if i could see my mother one last time, just to tell her i love her. She had died in 2010, i miss her so much. There was a time where we went to the beach, and it had a water slide.You had to walk up a lot of stairs. There was a slow, medium and a fast lane to go down the waterslide. My mom an my little sister and I went down it all at once on the fast one. There was white matts you had to sit on to go down or it would hurt once we went down the people who worked their yelled at us but it was so worth it.
       Im not really sure why water is priced. I think its stupid, but thats the government for you. Water bottles at the store cost $1.00 or $2.00 the most, i mean thats not that bad but its still pointless to sell water when you have some at your house but even then you have to pay a water bill which is really stupid. Water bills can go up to like $500 all depends on how much water you have used in that month.
      They are somewhat similar because my memory with my mom was at a water park, an that has to do with water as well. It must cost so much to run a water park, but people have such good memories there. The thrill of going down a HUGE water slide with a big smile on your face. An seeing someones face who you love dearly just makes your day. I wish I could go to the water park again with my mom. The thought of seeing her again, thinking about going down the water slide with her. You can't hug water but you can hug your mom. Moms do everything for you, help you out finding stuff. Make dinner (sometimes its the dad) wash your clothes, But what does water really do for you? Keep you alive? Well obviously, but spending time with your mom is priceless. You can't have memories with water. But with your mom you can go shopping, go out to eat and so much more you can do with her and you'll never forget all those great memories you guys had.
     Every moment I had spent with my mom was amazing. Well sometimes you and your parents get into fights, you say some mean stuff right? Get so angry that you just wish they were dead. Am I right? Yell at them saying I hate you so much. But do you really hate them? Or is it just at the moment? Just think they have done so much for you, they yell at you to keep you in line, keep you doing good in school. But water helps your live, without it no one would be alive. We drink water everyday, It has no flavor but still its very good for us.
     But every moment you should enjoy being with your parent enjoy life to the fullest.You will never know when that someone dies, it comes to as a surprise to you, unacceptable. Then you think back and wish you never said those mean things to the person who had passed away. But you gotta keep your head up and drink some water and just think about all the good things that has happen between you and your loved one that has passed away and went to heaven. At least they are watching over you all the time. These are why I value the things I value, because in some way these small things always have some part of your day and how the outcome will be.
