My biography book is just recently finished was called "Steve Nash Leader On and Off The Court." This book is about the basketball career of Steve Nash and his life outside of basketball. Steve was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in Feburary 7, 1974. He lived most of his life in Vancouver, Canada. Steve Nash was a very little kid with very big dreams. Throughout most of his life Steve was very postive about him self that he will make it far in basketball. He always said to himself that he will make the NBA and go to college to play basketball.
Steve Nash has always been a good role model to other younger kids look up too. He is a good role model because of his chemistry with his teammates and when he shows apperacte to the fans. In the book it says in page 44 " Whetever the fans like me or not is totally irrelevant at this point," Nash added. "My number one concern is the team . The fans have to be secondary . If the fans have give up on me, that's fine." This shows many things because about his fans and his team but he still cares about the fans,

Skink No Surrender
This new book I recently just started reading is called " Skink No Surrender." The genre of the book is mystery. The book has many parts in where there a lot of suspense. Also the main charcter is a boy named Richard. Richard is a teen and h enjoys to spend time with his friends and cousins.
One day Richard was gonna spend time with his cousin at the beach so they could scout for turtle nest. Before that his mother told him to be very careful because they may be some people who are not so nice. Richard was expecting his cousin their but he never showed up. He started to hear so breathing noises. He thought those noises where from his cousin just playing around with him. But he waited for his cousin to come out from where ever he was hiding but he never did. That's when Richard realized that it was someone else and not his cousin. In the book in page 3 it says " Approaching the turtles nest again, I put down the Easton and cupped my ears to muffle the sound of the waves. The mysterious breathing seemed to be coming from inside the rectangle of pink ribbons." This part of the book is describing what Richard went to the beach to do and also it's showed what he was hearing. It talked about the breathing that was behind the bushes. This is a aha moment because it remind me when my mom also had told me the right thing to do but I didn't listen to her just like in the book.

Compare and Contarst
I'm going to compare and contrast two books I've finish this quarter .The first book is going to be Bystander by James Perrel and the other book is The Absoutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie . The two books have some similarities and differences. I personally enjoyed this two books because of the plot and the conflicts. Also I can sort of relate to them which the book a lot more interesting.
Some similarities that they both have is there both have the same genres which is Teen Fiction. This means that they both have topics about teens and the conflict that an average teen which face. In Bystander the conflict was that the main charcter needed to adapt to his new school in his new neighborhood. In the Absoutely True Diary he also need to adapt to the American high school and the new subjects of the school. The two main charcters in the books are similar because they are both very I courage to make new friends. They try there best to fit in with the other kids.
The difference between the is that the book bystander the conflict that the main character is already us to the America schools, how they work. But im the other book the main character he has new been in American schools only in a school of native Americans which he said was completely different.

The teacher name was Mr.P he was a elderly and that was junior sister teacher too. Mr.P thought he was almost the same as his sister. Junior sister was shy and would never really talk during class. But Junior way different. In the book it says " And let me tell you, Mr.p. Is weird looking dude.

The book I'm currently reading is called Miracle on 49thnstreet and this book is basically about how a kguy named Josh Cameron who was the practice facility for a summer camp for one of the best NBA team and it started when his goody bag was not the same as the other kids. His bag that they give everyone in the camp consistd of a signed basketball, and a t-shirt from the summer camp. He feels really special and feels that his finally noticed by someone.
This change in his life is very strange for him and he learn something from this moment in life . For examples not the book in page 4 it's says " you're my hero josh!" yelled from somewhere in the stands." This shows how he was starting to notice that people were noticing him. In book it doesn't really talk about how his emotion felt but I can analyze that I he felt very special and happy for himself that he was getting noticed.
