I'm currently reading Houdini: Master of Illusion, and it is about the great magician, and illusionest Harry Houdini. I'm not that far into it so I don't know a lot yet, but it seems really interesting and I can't wait to get into the is book.

Two things that I could compare were the theme in the outsiders in the beginning of the book and the theme in the end of the book. In the beginning of the book the theme was more of like family or survival. But in the end of the book the theme would be something like be the bigger person. In the beginning of the book the greasers love to fight, but after what happened, the greasers just want to survive.

Well in my book Travel Team by: Mike Lupica, Danny's dad gets hurt in a car crash so he can no longer coach basketball. So Danny decides he's going to coach, plus this is and internal conflict cause Danny could do something about it.

Richie Walkers motivation is to help his kid feel better after not making the travel team squad. That was direct. The implied is that he made a travel team called the warriors so his kid could play travel ball.

Pt:2
As Danny's friend Will put it "your dad is the God of Middletown travel basketball and you didn't make the team.

When Danny didn't make the travel team he's was really upset. Danny was getting made fun of by almost everyone in the town. You wouldn't know why he was so mad if you didn't know he was Richie Walkers son. Richie Walker was Danny's dad he also was Middle-town's most famous basketball player. He took the 1981 Middletown, middle school basketball team to the national championship.

I feel like Danny is about to change. His dad created this new travel basketball team. At first they weren't very good, but they actually almost won there last game. I predict that Danny is going to start to believe in his dad, in his team, and in his self.

When Danny didn't make the travel team at first the author described it like it was "The end of his life" the author author also used short choppy sentences. This tells me that the scene was devastation.

First of all one of the main characters Madam Lockton would probably go to the University of Phoenix(The Harvard of online schools). She would probably choose an online school because she's lazy but, she would major in criminal justice because of the way she beats Isabel and Ruth.

If I were going to eat two cookies at the same time it would be a chocolate chip cookie with a fortune cookie. The main character is always dreaming. So maybe if I eat a fortune cookie her dream will come true.

I would probably say a classic chocolate chip cookie. It reminds be of the main characters personality. She's a darling at heart. With a little pinch of sweetness like a chocolate chip.

I just started this book, but I can already tell by the way the author talks it's realistic. She uses phrases like "five and forty years" meaning she is forty five years old. I like the way she uses her dialogue.

Shaq has too many catch phrases. What some people don't know is Shaq wasn't only a basketball player. He was a very successful rapper. In his raps he rapped about his childhood. He was also in movies. One of his movies "Kazam" he played a genie that gave three wishes.

I'm just about to get to the end of this book and I have really enjoyed it so far. The way Shaq goes from place to place in chronological order, it's very compelling. Also I never realized what it was actually like in an NBA locker room. It was nice how Shaq told that.

The movie would be rated PG-13 with Shaq. Reading Shaq uncut there is some colorful language. But Shaq doesn't go over the top with anything. He likes freestyle raps. In his raps he likes to make fun of Kobe which I find funny, but anyway Shaq Uncut would be rated PG-13.

If Shaq was in the Hunger Games he probably wouldn't survive. Think about it a 7 ft plus, more than 300lbs. If I was his competitors I would team up and try to take him down first. Plus I don't think has the stamina anymore. You never know though Shaq can surprise you.

Shaq would be a terrible neighbor. He is always partying. So if I was his I would never be able to sleep. But maybe if I was invited to the parties it would be ok.

Shaq can do a lot of stuff I can't. He's an adult. He played in the NBA. He's 7'1. His net worth is around 250 million so he can pretty much do anything he wants. That is the opposite of me. No body is in charge of him.

Shaq would probably go to jail for murder or for assaulting somebody because when Shaq gets mad he likes to take out his anger. For example Kobe called Shaq fat and slow in an interview. The next day Shaq went to the Lakers practice and he was going to hurt Kobe but luckily he was stopped by his body guard and a couple teammates.

It was a preseason game and Shaq had 30 points when he hit a fade away jumper and he turned around and said "Pay me" to Mitch Kupchack. I like this quote. It's a little arrogant but I love how Shaq isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.

Shaq could be a little more sort of real life. What I mean by that is that the people love him for who he is. So maybe he could show his personality a bit more.

Shaq's not getting along with Kobe very well, but it is obvious why. They are both used to being the so called number one guy. There getting a little jealous of each other. Shaq thinks Kobe shoots bad shots while Kobe thinks Shaq goofs off to much. They were able to co-exist though to win multiple championships.

Shaq was a young troublemaker who was poor. Since Shaq grew so fast that he often wore shoes that were two sizes too small. Now that he is so rich that he gets the best of best. One time he went to the cat dealership and he saw Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson bought two Bentley's Shaq had two one up him so he bought three Bentley's for $600,000. Remember these were cars he couldn't even fit into.
