In this book, it seems to be like, according to Mr. Pignati, it is okay for kids to drink wine. Also, in the place, it seems to be like it is everything like it is today. It is just like in Manhattan Beach and areas around here. It seems to be almost exactly like it is here, unless you have strict parents, which are not in The Pigman.

This book is about these 2 kids who are friends and they met an old man they call the Pigman. This is because , one time, the Pigman invited them into his house and he had all sorts of pigs. He has clay pigs, statues of pigs, and even real pigs himself. Him and the kids are becoming friends and I think there is going to be a mystery coming up, but the question that still stands is, "What is the mystery?"

In this book, there is a boy named Jonas, who got a job as the receiver as knowledge of a group. Here he gets all of the memory and history that is involved in the world. The person who had all the memories, named the Giver, then started sharing all of the memories with Jonas. These memories also involved a good amount of pain that will help Jonas wtih gaining knowledge leaving the community at his fingertips.

In this book, the first color that Jonas saw was the color red. This stands for knowledge. This shows that when Jonas first saw the color of the apple, he was finally gaining knowledge as well. He also has pale eyes, which are probably blue eyes which means depth and heaven. This shows that Jonas seems more important that the others according to the author. I think these colors were used on purpose as well.

In this book, the archetype would be over coming the monster. I think the monster would be the challenge of Hal not being able to have a dog, and I think that this will end up as a happy story with Hal being able to have a dog, Fleck. There are also monsters and challenges along the way that Hal also has to overcome in order to try to reach his ending goal of being able to keep Fleck.

The conflict in this book is how Hal's parents as not wanting to get a dog for Hal. Hal dog really mad about this, so he decided to break into the place where his parents rented a dog from. Hal really connected to this dog when they were together, which was for about 2 days. Hal was saying how Fleck, the dog, helped him feel better about everything. This bad would've never happened if the parents were ok with a dog.

In this book, Fleck, a dog, represents a really good companion for Hal. The author wrote multiple pages all about how Fleck helps Hal see the world in a way better way than he did before. Fleck also brings happiness to Hal and made his dream of having a dog come true, but only for a period of time. Hal cherished Fleck so much that when Fleck got taken away from Hal, he tried to steal him back and run away with him.

This book is about a boy, Hal, who has always begged for a dog. Every holiday and birthday, that would be the thing he would ask for. One day, his parents got him a temporary dog that they rented for 3 days and thought, by then, Hal wouldn't want him anymore. That was not the case. The parents had to trick Hal in order to bring the dog back and Hal is still sad and trying to recover and wants the dog back.

In this book, the outcast would be Fleck, a dog. He was a stray dog who the dog caretaker found in front of her house. He is a cute dog who just wants a home. He was in his kennel for 2 almost 3 days waiting for someone to want to take her to take care of her. Fleck is very munched liked by everyone because he just wants a home and you can feel very bad for him. I think he is going to be very important in this book.

In this book, there are many sympathetic and unsympathetic characters. One of these sympathetic characters is Teddy. Teddy is a 12 year old boy who was the one who solved the mystery about who killed the mascot of the zoo. There are also unsympathetic characters who will do anything for money. These are people like JJ McCracken. He was planning on turning the zoo into an amusement park at the risk of the animals.

In this book, I presume the intended audience is for a young adult to a child. This is because the book does not have really complex vocabulary or complex text. It has a childish plot line but not too childish like non-chapter books. this is because of the mystery involved as well. You could tell if you started this book because of how there are childish animals involved along with child-like names

Belly Up is a plot driven story. Towards the beginning, there is a 12 year old boy named Teddy who sneaks into a autopsy of the zoo he work's at hippo who is very cherished. When Teddy snuck into the autopsy, the vet finds that the hippo has holes in one of his intensitines and presumes that he was murdered. This drives Teddy to find evidence and observe every fact to see if the hippo was actually murdered.

The structure of this book is in chronological order. There are not any flashbacks, but there are points where the author starts talking about the mom's past. There are no dates in the book right now, so I am assuming this was in the time frame of the early 21st century. There are also no parallel stories of settings and this is not a graphic novel, for now. this is also a realistic fiction which is good for me.

Kyle Garlett, the main character, is a static character, which is not necessarily a bad thing for him. The whole time, he was very strong throughout the chemotherapy, his heart transplant, the Ironman and all of the other tough things he went through throughout his life. He is always motivated to get through all of the tough things in his life and come out the other side of it stronger mentally and physically.

One of the minor characters in this book is Kyle's wife Carrie. Towards the beginnng of th story, her role was to support Kyle through his terrible sicknesses. Towards the end of the book, like where I am now, her roll and significance is to support and love Kyle as husband and wife. They are also travel and training buddies for the iron mans they are currently training for. Her support has brought Kyle a long way.

Why does the author keep bring up where the parents or Kyle are living currently? Is it becasue there is going to be an incident where it is fatal when his parents are all the way across the Untied States or even world? How much of an impact will they have on Kyle's cancer and all he is going through? Will they end up being a few blocks away when death shows its shadow? Will something bad happen to them needing Kyle?

The protaginists of this book would be the main character. The main character is Kyle Garrett, who is also the author. He got diagnosed with the "type of cancer you would want," even though you don't want cancer in the first place. He went through chemotherapy and kept fighting until it was gone, just to realize that it came back and that he had to go to a different doctor and have all of the painful things again.

In this book, there are really sympathetic characters named Nick, Twilly, and Mrs. Starch. They went totally out of their way to try to save a panther. They also really care for the enviroment. There were also unsympathetic characters. These characters was the Oil Company. The people in this oil company were drilling oil illegally, and they also put a lighter in a backpack to try to blame someone innocent of arson.

In this book, there is a bad boy, bad dad, and caring grandmother.The boy just got a motorcycle and the dialogue goes something like this. The dad said to his mom how his son drove himself camping. The grandmother responded saying,"Oh, you bought him a car?" The dad responded how he just fixed up a motorcycle that they found in a want ad. The grandmother responded saying that next Christmas, she'll get him a helment.

I can make connections to Hoot. One of them is text to text. I can relate this book to the Movie Home Alone becuase there is a lot of things where the main character teases the bully just like how the boy in Home Alone would say things like,"Hey, I'm up here. Come get me." Another connection is text to world. There are always those people in the world who go out of their way to help the enviroment, like this book.

The antagonists in this story are Dana Matherson and Pancake house business. Dana Matherson is an antagonist becasue he is always beating people up for no reason. The pancake house business is an antagonist becasue they are trying to build a pancake house on top of a group of burrowing owls. According to the protagonist, this is wrong. One of the protagonists are trying to save the burrowing owls with a little help.

In this book, there is a bad bully named Dana Matherson. The character feels like he always has to be mean to a ton of kids to show off to his friends, but he also bullies whenever he can for no reason at all. Dana, many times, has choked kids, punched a ton of kids, and even stayed at school after school to beat up the main character, Roy. This all shows how mean he is. He is always beating people up for no reason.

In this story, one of the minor characters was Bruno's dad. He also has some importance because the dad's job made Bruno's family move from Berlin, in a big house, to a place called Out-With, a beaten up house. Also, at Out-With Bruno meets a friend who is going to influence his life and everyday he ever is going to live. You will have to read this book to find out how his life is influenced everyday by a friend.
