Text-to-self connection

      In the book Goosebumps, They are getting scared by scare crows. This reminds me of when I was little, I was always scared of scarecrows. I was scared of scarecrows because I was little and I thought evrything was a little scarey. One time, I saw a farmer take a scarecrow down off it's cross and and walk it back to his barn. I was at a position where it looked like it was walking, so I was scared to death.I ran home and didn't come out for a few DAYS!!!! But now I'm not a fraid of scarecrows anymore.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day:

      November 11, or what is now known as Vetrens Day, was origanly made to be as an average U.S. holliday to honor Armistic Day- the end of World War 1, which officialy took place on November 11, 1998. In legislature that was passed in 193, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be here after celebrated and known as 'Armistic Day'. As such, this new legal holliday honord World War 1 veterans. In 1954, after being in World War 2 and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistic" and inserting the word "Veterans". With the approval of this legislation on June 1st, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Theme of Holes

     I think the theme of Holes is that great stuff can happen if you put in the work. I think this because Stanley goes to court for something he didn’t do. So once he goes to camp green lake and meets zero. Later Stanley carries zero up the mountain and zero almost dies. The day the left the camp, Stanley’s lawyer comes to take him from camp green lake because he was innocent. Then he takes zero with his money to buy a mansion. Later they have a big party and Clyde Livingston’s commercial comes on.

Jake's Story

I choose Jake's story because I think is was interesting with the step mom. She was flying around to help Jakes Dad, Jake and work at the same time. I think the moral of this story is to never be afraid to lend a helping hand.
