Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams Why did you check it out?It’s a very interesting book, and its what has rocked the sports world for years to come. 2.

Based on the book's cover what are you anticipating the book to be about? (In other words, what expectations do you have for the book based on the images, text, colors, layout etc. I expect it to be a very good book because it has Jason Giambi, and Barry Bonds on the cover. Giambi is the first to confess about steroids, and Bonds is the biggest name to be involve about steroids. 4. What genre is the book (fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, etc. please do not just say "fiction" be more specific). Non-Fiction 5. Have you read any other books by this author?Or, what other books have you read within this genre that you have enjoyed? No they are reporters for the San Francisco Chronicles, and this is their first book. 6. Spend 20 minutes reading your book, and then give us a paragraph synopsis of what has transpired so far. Who have you met? Setting? Anything exciting happen off the bat? What stands out about the author's writing style? Marion Jones has been one of the most influential track and field stars for the kids off today. The accusations against her devastated her reputation and her appearance. She has been alleged to have taken steroids, which have given her an advantage during the Olympics, and other events. If she is found to have lied to congress she will be prosecuted, and sent to prision.

My boring weekend

This weekend my parents went out of town, and my sister went to her friend’s house. I stayed at home, and did a whole lot of nothing. I did watch the Tar Heels go down 40-12, and eventually lose embarrassingly. The over achievers finally played someone, and got their tails kicked. Other then that I pretty much did a little of everything like watch movies, play 360, get on the computer, and sleep. The storm kept knocking the direct tv on Friday night, so I got really bored, and watched a movie. The movie was 3-10 to Yuma, which is one of my favorite movies. I didn’t get much sleep because I stayed up late doing nothing. My weekend was pretty much boring, so im going to stop wrtiting now.

Martian Child Review

For the past two days we have been watching a provoking comedy/drama called "Martian Child." Starring in the move John Cusack(Must Love Dogs, High Fidelity), Amanda Peet(Somethings Gotta Give, The whole ten yards), and Joan Cusack(Working Girl, In and Out). David Gordon(John Cusack) decides he wants to be a father to the odd child keeps insisting he is an alien. Even with the support of his sympathetic friend, Harlee(Amanda Peet) the aspiring dad soon finds himself in way over his head. David finds himself growing more attached to him. Finally, when Dennis tries to live out the last part of his fantasy, he unknowingly puts himself into serious danger trying to find his way home to mars. David discovers his true emotions for the boy, as they joyfully unite. Dennis finally feels as if he has found someone, and ends up seeing himself as a true human being. The movie is not very interesting at most times, and lures you asleep. I would not advise this movie to others, as it is not a thriller, but another boring movie by John Cusack.

Oh Jorge this is how all my dreams go. You coming running at me. Haha lol

Number 4 (Unsure on what to do)

I am in Boston, Massachutes just leaving my Grandma behind in the hospital as she flew away to heaven. As i walk out of the hospital teary eyed and emotional a ticket blows in front of me, landing in the palm of my hand. I turn the bent cornered ticket over and i read 10 million, 10 million, 10 million scratched out three times. I rub my trembling hands on my eyes and take another glance. I have just wont 10 million dollars. Not knowing wethere to keep crying or jump in excitement i turn towards my mother. Mom i've won 10 million dollars, she replies " not now Trey this is a very serious time, we don't need this right now". But mom i really just won 10 million dollars, but she continues walking down the potholed, and decreped streets of Boston. It is around negative three degrees outside and im in shorts with a 10 million dollar winning ticket. As i walk, i'm in a mood that i will never feel again. My grandma who was extremely close to me just passed away, but i just won 10 million dollars. A couple days have passed now and since my parents didn't believe me the first time i decide to keep it a secret. It is the day of my Grandmothers funeral and i'm in a very sad place. This will be the last time i ever see the woman i loved so much, and enjoyed spending every moment with her. So as i walked up to the casket to see her one final time, i place the winning ticket in her hand. Giving her one last kiss on the cheek, i look towards the heavens. "Grandma your worth every penny of it, and i will never forget you. Even this day i keep a picture of her in my room, telling her how much i miss her everytime i get a chance. She was worth much more than 10 million dollars to me, she was priceless.
