Current Connection on Toxic Cyanide Dumpimng.

     The author of this story is in shock. The author wrote this article as a descriptive article. The main idea is that toxic waste just dumped can kill many fish and wild life species.
    "Death of tens of thousands of fish and other wildlife in the Rocky River." "A massive number of dead or dying fish and other wildlife washed up along the East Branch of the Rocky River on April 22 -- Earth Day -- the website reported."
     The toxic waste was horrible to the ecosystems in this river. The river said that it killed tens of thousands of fish and other species. And how ironic is it that the dead fish washed up on the banks on Earth Day. That is a little funny.
     When I was at the lake this summer there was several dead fish by the boat ramp just laying on the bank. I can connect with these people that saw these dead fish just float up on the banks of this river.

Current Connection on Firefighter being Fired.

   The author of this article is aggravated because a firefighter in Washington was fired because he sent a christian e-mail to some fellow fire fighters using the fire houses computer. The authors wrote this article in an expository way.I think that the authors main idea is that this fine firefighter for 17 years was fired because of the most ridiculous reason.
   "The emails, Sprague said, were sent only to the 46 members of his fellowship and no complaints had been received." "Never had been disciplined in the past,” Sprague said. “Everything seems to revolve around ust those emails and the Christian content.”
     This firefighter was fired due to Christian content in an e-mail he sent to men in the department that were in a Christian fellowship with him. Nobody was harmed by these emails, so why would he be fired? Due to personal difference.
     This world has fallen way out of the path that it needs to be in with God. This  man got fired and is probably not the first in the world to get fired because of his religion.

Book Reveiw

      Jennifer L. Weber's Summer's Bloodiest Days is intreguing, I thoughly enjoyed the Civil War facts that I learned in this book.
      I can make connections though the entire book. One example of a connection is this book deals with the Civil War, like another book I read called The Red Badge of Courage. I could also make a connection to the movie American Outlaws. Which has some scenes from the Civil War in the beginning of the movie.
     The characters in this book are of different varieties of hero's. Like Some people would say that Robert E. Lee was a hero, but others would say he was a villan.But I think that Robert E. Lee is one of my favorite characters mentioned in this book.So the characters in this book are from one extreme to the other. Another one of my favorite charcters in the book is Genneral Stonewall Jackson. I liked him becuase he was a fearless leader for the Confederate Army.
     The setting of this book is to take place in in the 1800's in our quarreling country, all the way from the far south to the far north this book covers it all. This is a time that is entreaging to me but some people would find it boring.
     I would reccomend this book to anybody that enjoys learning about this event, and millitary facts
of the Civil War.

Austin's Reading Bucket List

  1. It's a Book.  I think I would thoroughly enjoy reading this book. One reason why is because this book goes against the modern day's technological advances. In the  world of all the electronic breakthroughs this book tells about an elephant reading a book. And the bird does not understand the book concept. And this book sounds very funny in my opinion.
  2. Summer's Bloodiest Day's. I enjoy this type of book because it is about the Civil War. The Civil War is one of my favorite times in the vast history of America. This book tells about some of the battles fought during the war. And some of the medical precautions taken in this time period. That is why I want to read this book.
  3. The Adventures of Slim and Howdy. I want to read this book because it is about two country music stars, Kix Brooks, and Ronnie Dunn. This book sounds to be a very funny book from the synopsis  on the first page. And it sounds like a country life style book that I would like to read. That is why I want to read this book.
  4. Fahrenheit 451. I want to read this book because at 451 degrees is where paper simultaneously combust. And I do not like books all that well, so I think I would thouroughly enjoy this book. And it is based of the movie by Ray Bradburry. So if the book is like the movie the book should be a very good read for anybody.
