In the book "Someone to Love" by Sarah Dressen, The main character and her best friend go to their friend's funeral. The funeral brought back many sad and happy memories of their friend and they cried. The main character's mom is worried about her and her friend because it's the last week of summer and she is affraid this will start their school year off badly. They spend the rest of summer together just hanging out and remembering thier friend almost everywhere they went and everything they did reminded them of him and how they really miss him. That is what has happened in the part of the book that I have recently read.

I just finished reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. In my opinion it was one of the best books ive read all year. I actually read the whole thing and could understand it for the most part. The only thing that was confusing about the book would be the parts where Billy time travels because I could never tell when he was. This book overall was about Billy Pilgrim and how he got "kidnapped" by Tralfamadorians which are little alien type creatures. He time traveled to the past future and present and went through many adventures. He also learned many things from the Tralfamadorians, many lessons. I enjoyed this book alot.

I am reading Slaughterhouse five for my end of the quarter reading. This book is very interesting to read and has a lot to do with the war. The first character I read about in chapter one was named Yon Yonson and he worked in wisconsin. He had a daughter named Nanny and a wife. He was writing a book that he was gonna call Dresden but after meeting with Nancy she led him to change it to the childrens crusade. The second character was Billy he is kind of crazy he keeps traveling to the past, future, and present. He has a daughter named Barbara and a son named Robert. He claims he was captured by Tralfamadorians and wrote a letter about it. He was in the war with Weary (another character) and there are many stories about the war and Weary. Weary died from a disease in his feet because his shoes had been stripped off his feet in the war and he had to walk long distances in just cloggs. This is a little of what I have read so far in my book.

There is a funeral that they are getting ready to go to for him and hayley is trying to decide what dress to wear but her friend had been up all night crying. They went to the park and it brought back memories of him and hayley started talking about how he used to be a little nerd and he left school and came back taller stronger and tanner and was the "guy to date". He started going out with girls out of his league and didn't fit in so he went back to hanging out with his old friends and thats when they became good friends.
