December 6,2010. Blog 3: I have not had a lot of time to read but what I did read was about the american colonies and the funnier version of the revolutionary war. which I cant remember what he said about it I'm sure it was funny. to put an even finer point on it the only thing I remember is that on october 8,(insert date here).

November 18, 2010. Blog 2: I have not had a lot of time to read but I did have a little time in study hall the other day. In the book __Dave Barry Slept Here__ by you guessed it Dave Barry, he talks about the settling of America. he says that on October 8, (insert random date here) the James town colonists landed in America, or what would eventually become the U.S.A. I think that Dave does an excelent job on making history fun and most of all interesting. If you read my last blog you will know why he said October 8, (insert random date here)


 * November 4, 2010. Blog 1:** This quarter i am reading the book __Dave Barry Slept Here.__ This book is a very very funny version of history, so please note not all the historical accounts are true and by not all are true I mean none of them are true. I got this book from my aunt Shawna who in point of fact has the same twisted sense of humor that i do. anyways my mom picked it up and read the first few pages of the intro it was funny. in this book dave has decided to change all the dates inthe book to October 8, (insert year here). for example "You will notice that we have tried to make these dates as easy as possible to remember by making the all start with "October 8" Dave does a great job in making this book is fun as possible insted of dull and boring. I would suggest this book to any one who like to have a good laugh.

I'm reading __Solider X__ By Don Wulffson. This book is Based in the eastern front of World War 2. 16 year old Erik Brandt is a german soldier at the battle or Tarnapol. The part of the book I'm at he is Helping evacuate a Russian hospital, now even though the Russians and the Germans hate each other he was wounded and put on a russian uniform and now everybody thinks he was a Russian. In a nut shell he is part Russian because his moms parents immigrated to Germany illegally so he dose have some Russian back ground, he also speaks the language fluently this again due in part of his grandparents being Russian.

I'm still reading __Soldier X By__ Don Wulffson. Erik and Tamara are on the run from the German army's advance into Russia. They made it all the way to Germany When they made it there the city had already been invaded by the Americans. Erik and Tamara were walking down the street when an American soldier shot him in the arm and thru his open mouth. The next thing Erik knew was he was in an American hospital with only one arm. as he was recovering he got a letter from his mother in Vilsburg Germany, he learned that his grandmother died while he was away. Tamara would visit him every day and they ended up getting married and moving to Seattle Washington.
