Journal #1 Frankenstein
The book I am reading is called Frankenstein and I haven’t got far in the book but I already know a few characters. The book starts off with a captain named Robert Walton and he and his crew was on a journey to the North Pole and they came across a man In the snow and his name was Victor Frankenstein. When I start reading the book I thought Frankenstein was the monster but Frankenstein is Victor’s last name and he made the monster.

Robert Walton brought Victor unto his ship and nursed him back to health and once Victor had enough strength to talk he was telling Robert what he was doing out here and how the whole thing started. Victor started his story from the beginning when he was a little boy. His father had a best friend named Beaufort and he had a daughter named Caroline. Beaufort gets sick and dies and Caroline is left all alone so Victor’s father takes Caroline in and Victor’s father and her gets married and had Victor.

Victor’s father has a sister and she had died and wanted Victor’s father to take care of her daugther Elizabeth. Caroline believed that Victor and Elizabeth was going to be married one day. Caroline had gotten real sick and died, so Elizabeth was like the woman of the house now. Victor had a younger brother named William and he had a best friend named Henry. Victor went off to Ingolstadt for school to study natural philosophy and he wanted to see if he could bring life to unmoving objects.

The book is different from what I thought it was about I thought Frankenstein was the monster. Its different from the Frankenstein that be on t.v. and I never seen the part where the captain was sailing to the north pole and didn’t know about all the other characters in the story.

Writing three
I have two things I want to do when I graduate high school. One of the things is something with sports. It can be anything, except sports medicine, but besides that it can be whatever. I think I would have a great career in sports because I know many things about them, especially basketball. If I could work in something to do with basketball that would be great.

Basketball is my favorite sport and I know so much about the game, and think I could do a little assistant coaching for a while, or better yet, I could go to school some where and play for a team. I don’t think that would happen because I don’t have the grades for it. Even being a P. E. teacher would be cool with me because every kid loves going to P. E. class.

When I was younger I couldn’t wait to go to school just so I could go to P. E. I didn’t care about any of my other classes. I was failing all my classes except P. E., but thank goodness that was in middle school because you could fail all your classes and moved on to the next grade. Because of this I got lucky, but classes didn’t matter to me back then.

I wouldn’t care if I was a score keeper at a basketball game, as long as I will be around it. I could also do something with football, my second favorite sport , but I don’t think I could do any coaching in football because some of the plays are too confusing for me. When I was in middle school my Eighth grade year I was on the football team , and it was our first game we didn’t have much practice, and was in a huddle, and the coach called the play. I was supposed to run out, and cut inside, instead I ran straight out, and it was an interception that’s why I never played football anymore. Sports is the best choice for me to have a career in because I don’t think I would be good at anything else.

I think the second best choice for my career would be something to do with cars, like fixing up old cars and selling them. There is so much money in that business. You don’t really have to go to school to learn how to do motor work or paint cars because you can learn it from someone off the streets because there are many people who know how to work on motors and didn’t go to school for it.

My dad taught himself how to do motor work. He didn’t even go to high school. He showed me how to do some things on cars so whenever my motor messes up, I work on it myself instead of taking it to the shop because they can charge so much money and it is possible nothing is really wrong with your car. So that’s one of the good things about working on your own car.

If you want to learn how to work on newer model cars you should go to school because the newer models have more parts than the older models. You have computer machine maps on the newer models, because if that messes up you have no choice but to take your car to the shop. If I could go somewhere and learn how that’s done, somewhere close by like Everest college it would be easy working on cars for me.

My cousin has a car shop and after high school I can start working there without any training. What I don’t know about cars, he could teach me. School would educate me more on old, new, and foreign cars, and if I got really good at it maybe I could do some work for big companies and do some things like they do on Pimp My Ride. I would like to work there because all the things they do to the car, they got to be getting paid a lot for they work. Its no telling how long that takes to do.

Short Story 3
The short story I read was called American History and its about a Puerto Rican girl who was going to public number 13 high school. She didn’t fit in there and didn’t have any friends and she use to sit out on the fire escape and read her library books in the summer and the building she was staying in (El building) sat behind an old Jewish couple and felt as she was apart of there family. She knew when they would argue because she would sit and watch them every day.

The old Jewish man died and the woman moved out, so a boy named Eugene and his family moved into the house the Puerto Rican girl had a crush on Eugene the first time she seen him. She would look for him in school but they were on different sides of the school and one day she seen him but he walked passed like she wasn’t there and she start thinking maybe he doesn’t wanted speak first, so she decided to just speak to him the next time she seen him. She spoke to him and come to find out he was shyer than she was and he was blushing the whole time they were speaking. Eugene invited her to his house to study for a test, so she came down and knocked on the door and Eugene’s mother answer the door she wouldn’t let Eugene study with her because she stayed in El building and telling her "Eugene don’t want to study with you he’s a smart boy he doesn’t need help"

My Cutlass
Last week I bought a 350 rocket motor for my Cutlass. Before I bought it, I heard it run. It sounded like a thunder when I crunk it up. Since I bought it from my cousin, he took the motor out of his car so I could take it home. Once he got it out the car, he needed some help loading it on the back of the truck , but he didn’t have a jack that could lift high enough.
It took five people to lift the motor; it was so heavy it felt like an anchor, but we finally got it on there. I went home and hooked the motor up to a jack to take it off the back of the truck. I was happy be out of that truck it smelled like oil and the seats were very dirty. I had to put paper down so I wouldn’t get anything on my clothes. I told my cousin, "Thanks for the help and I’ll talk to you later." Then he left and I started planning my next move.
My next move was taking out my motor that was already in my car, so I pulled my car around to the shop to start working on it. I unpluged some hoses and something shot into my right eye. I ran to the bathroom to rinse out my eye because it was burning a little and when I finished my eye was bleary, and I couldn’t see out of it for about ten minutes. Atfer I got my vision back, I started working on my car. I unhooked everything so the only thing left to do was to lift the motor out.
I lifted my motor out and was ready to drop the new one in. Once I got everything hooked up I was ready to crank it up, it still sounded like thunder. Then I started thinking, I am going to redo this whole car, so I drove it to a paint shop to get a price on how much candy paint was. When I was down there, I saw a Monte Carlo with flip-flop candy paint and I decided I wanted that.
After two weeks I saved up enough money for my paint job. I took my car back to the paint shop for spraying. The paint was eight hundred and the painter charge me five hundred to paint it. So I left my car down there and the painter told me " It will be about a week before I will be done with everything". I said "That’s fine call me when your done painting it".
While my car was in the paint shop, I went looking for a new transmission. I called my friend because he knows where many of motors and transmissions would be for sale. We went to this junkyard. It was so nasty there, that if you opened your mouth it would leave an awful taste. So we didn’t find what I was looking for there, so we went to Pep Boys to order one.
The worker at Pep Boys said "We only have a 403 for a Oldsmobile Cutlass" I told him "That’s fine I’ll take it" they had to order the transmission and told me it will be 4 days. So I had everything I wanted for my car. I couldn’t wait and see what my car was going to look like. I wanted to go look at some rims, but every place I went was real expensive so I decided I was going to keep my rallys on it for a while.
A week has passed, and I have gotten my transmission so it was time for me to go pick up my car. When I got there my car was sitting in the front. I didn’t realize that it was my car. If you walked around the car it would flip green to blue all the away around the car. The paint was real shiny and had flakes all through the car. I told the painter "This really looks nice". I drove my car home but it still wasn’t ready to show anyone.
I pulled my car in the shop and began putting in the new transmission. It took me two hours to get it in. Once I was done, I drove it around the block for a test drive. My car was so fast I almost lost it coming off my street. but I gained control and drove over to my friend’s house to show him.

Short Story 1

The story I read was called The King Of The Bingo Game and it was about a black man from the South and he was trying to find a way to get some money so he can pay the doctor so he can find out what’s wrong with his girlfriend Laura. He can’t get a job because he doesn’t have a birth certificate.
So he’s been watching the bingo games for a while so he thinks he figured out how to win the jackpot. He thinks that’s Laura only chance of surviving. So he has five cards because he thinks that will increase his chances of winning and he knew once he win he have a chance to play for the jackpot and in order to win the jackpot he had to hold a button and double zero had to fall.
He thought if he just give the button a quick push it would have a good chance of hitting double zero so as he starts to push the button he start having doughts " What if it doesn’t land on the zeros, Laura will die" so he held down the button with his thumb and didn’t let go he just stood there and the audience started to get impatient and start cussing him out and yelling at him.
So the host put his hand on his shoulder and told him " Alright your time is up" and the man push the host hand off his shoulder violently and said " Leave me alone I know what I am doing" and the host called up security to get the man off stage. So the man starts running around in circles to avoid getting caught but he was caught and wrestled to the ground and security was trying to force the man’s hand open and one of the security was stomping on the man’s wrist and head.
The man black out for a moment and as the security was talking him away the man seen the wheel stop on double zero but the security didn’t turn around and see it and I’m not sure what happen then but I think he was shot in the head.

2. It was only two characters in the story who said something. The man who got on stage and wouldn’t leave. I think he was a good man he was trying to win some money so he can get a doctor for his girlfriend and he was one of the types to do whatever it takes to get it "Live, Laura, baby. I got holt of it now, sugar. Live!"
The second character was the host he was the type of man who try’s to embarrass people just to please the audience. "so you decided to come down off that mountain to the U.S."
