Corey+Fowler

Hi my name is Corey Fowler i am reading the book __The Outsiders__ by S.E. Hinton. This novel was recommended to me by the librarian she told me this would fit my personality and the hardworking person that i am. They call me pony-boy i am a greaser as what the Soc. call me. I am from the hood with no money, no life, and no parents all i have is my loyal friends Dally, Tool bit, and Johnny. These were my brothers we were a gang and would be a family together. I was walking home from the movies when i thought i should have brought dally to the movies. People in this world don't care about who you are all they care about is how much money you have and if you can drink or smoke but thats not the point we were in the middle of a war. My family and I were very poor and had always worked to make ends meet i have had it rough ever since my parents died. Within this point in time i feel or can connect to this book about being bullied by rich kids or not having the money to wear nice clothes. We were in the war with the Soc. when suddenly all i feel is sharp pains in my head and the shouts of my brothers coming after me. I was beaten up before i ever knew it the Soc. had followed me home from the movies i was shaken up. This novel at that point in the book shows me courage and strength to with stand a gang and live up to your hood. I really enjoy reading the novel The Outsiders because i see myself when i read it i am really excited to read the rest of the book i will tell you next time thank you.

Hi my name is Corey Fowler i am still reading the book __The Outsiders__ by S.E. Hinton. Within reading the beginning of the book i have found that if you have a friend in this world the only way to succeed in life is to share the same moments with them as in The Outsiders. The novel tells how real life troubles become true and you have to work your way through them as in this pony-boy and johnny were jumped bye the Soc. and were dying before they knew it in which return one of the Soc. died and the to greasers had left the town for good and now they are like run away prisoners. This novel has influenced my thoughts about people in general and the way people should be treated the way you want to be treated. The number one goal in my life which is based on this novel is to treat people with respect no matter what they have or own but just to prove a point in which these to boys don't deserve a beating as they did. I plan on finishing the book soon and would love to hear your thoughts.

Hey there this is Corey Fowler,I am still reading the novel __Pure Spring__ by Brian Doyal. I am really getting into this novel,I like the way the author is using his text to get to the point in spacific ways. In chapter two as Martin is expressed as a weed his father made it a little more effective to use his wording that way. In this point in time Martin is telling his part of a story and how his relationship between his father and him split apart due to a bottle being smacked in between his fathers two eye balls. Martin O'boy is still with his grandparents due to that and plans on being there for awhile. It's not how you use the words it's the way you express them as his granny used to say. Martin's father told him if he were to do anything like that ever again he would kill him, As this sentance is strolling on how would you feel if you cracked your father over the head with a bottle i would be pretty darn scared to be around his as in this njovel and where it is taking place at grandpa Rips home. From just reading this much i feel as if i could be in the charecters shoes and relate to his thoughts and feelings of saving his mother from being beat that way. This novel is very exciting and you never know whats happing next i plan on reading more and keeping you posted thank you.

Hey there it's Corey Fowler, i am still reading the novel __Pure Spring__ by Brian Doyal. The novel is getting very interesting as far as martin getting into some trouble about lying to his boss. Martin is facing the fact that he is growing up and is making his own decisions for himself, I believe that when you lie your soul is going down the drain but his grandmother once told him that if you lie than you will go to the under world martin didn't like that very much. Martin is going to the job for his first tie but has a bad feeling about what he did to the boss about his age but he kept going. When Martin got to work his boss was waiting for him, he asked is something wrong when the boss said you wont be able to unload the juice today because the truck hasn't came to day. In this point in time his grandpa Rip is getting worried about Martin because he didn't want Martin to get caught and sent away so he goes to find him and when he does Martin was very happy to see him grandpa Rip said lets go home Martin O'boy i need to talk to you. What do you think Grandpa rip is going to talk to Martin about?? I hope to finish this novel before Christmas break i will keep you updated thanks for reading.

Hello there it's Corey Fowler, suprisingly i had a great christmas and new year __with__ lots of loving memories. Over the break i ended up finishing the novel __Pure Spring__ by Brian Doyle. This novel was really a head turner i was very impressed with the way Brian Doyle mixed up the text during the climax of this book. There were alot of different characters entering the text with in the reading. Once i got the book on a steady pace of reading i finally figured out what the big picture was. It begins with a BIG lie. Martin O'Boy, was anxious to get a job with the Pure Spring soft-drink company after doing so Martin O'Boy lied about his age. Mr. Mirskey was a loyal boss willing to get Martin this job, after lying Martin in fact was one year younger than what he told his boss. Martin then works for eight months at the company when Mr. Merskey blackmails Martin O'Boy which ends up in resaulting as Mr. Merskey forceing Martin into a scheme to rob their everyday customers. Martin O'Boy ends up getting caught robbing some customers and was fired. As for Grampa rip his grandson was nothing more to him, Grandpa Rip was so dissapointed with Martin. Although this novel was clear cut i really saw the true meaning of what Brian Doyle was getting at. His meaning was to show the readers self disaplend and the way of life out in the real work force, Brian Doylre really caught my eye with this novel. The novel was set in the early 1950's as a historical novel in sequel of events or ouccurances waiting to happen. I really enjoyed reading this novel and would recommend it to any high schooler. I plan on reading more novels written by Brian Doyle. Thank you so much for a great semester Mrs.Olson i loved having you as my teacher, thanks so much.

Hello again, Corey Fowler here, With in this past eighteen weeks, i have really enjoyed the independent reading with the wikispaces, I feel as if the new technology is the key to our future and i found out this year that having this learning community and being able to express the novels we have red will interpret our learning values. The wiki's are a great way to connect with friends as well as teachers. I also felt that there was a sence of miss communication through these wikispaces as in, When us students are on wikispaces i feel they need to express there feeling on a class folder and say what they feel and what needs to be perfected as in the wiki's. Overall i love the new wikispaces i also felt that this website got me more open with being sociable to fellow class mates as well as you teachers. Im very thankful for having you as my teacher for all the right reasons for the new technology and as well as the other writting structures. With this i bless you and wish you the best on next semester and next years wikispaces thasnks so much. Sincerely Corey J Fowler
