So far in the book "The Islanders"

I got a new book called "The Islanders" by John Rowe Townsend. What I have read so far is that there is a couple of people living on an island called Halcyon. They don't know anyone out of the island. Halcyon was a place that a lot more people used to live in back in the day. They used to get things from outside the island. Now it's only a few people and they all know each other and they are all friends. Later in the book there was a ship with two kids that crashed along the shore. They went to go help them and they were hurt. No one new the two kids and they wanted to know who they were. That was where I left off of. I abandoned the book because it got pretty boring because it was just about some stuff that was going on in the island. I didn't want to wait till the end of the book for the good stuff to start. Also one of my friends ruined the ending for me so theres no point in reading it anymore. I think I wouldn't like it anyways because I feel that it was going to be too confusing later on. hi

"Call of Duty"

I read a article called "Call of Duty" and I really liked it because it is about a man named Jose Armenta in the army that has a dog named Zenith that helps him find bombs that are planted in the ground. They were one day searching for bombs in Afghanistan and then they found some bombs. They were finding many but the worst things possible happened, he stepped on one and it blew up. He was worrying about his dog the most instead of his own health. He lost a leg and he was sent home. He didn't get to keep his dog and he was really sad because he really wanted to see his dog. The dog was reassigned to another man in the army. He wanted his dog back so he would do anything to get him back. What he did was fill out so much paper work and this took forever. Finally after about a year he finally got to go to the army base in California and get his dog back. He was the happiest man on Earth because of that.     I can really relate to this because one time  was living in a regular house and then one day i found out we had to move to an apartment and there were no animals aloud. I was devastated and we had to give him away to one of my dads friends. Then 1 year later we were going somewhere but didn't know where and it turned out we were going to his friends house to get our dog back because we were moving to a house again because I could finally see my dog again. I wonder how the dog felt after not seeing him again, like did Zenith really miss him or was he just like "oh who are you?" This still keeps me wondering how Jose can live with a fake leg. Can he run around with Zenith or is Zenith just chase a ball and give it to Jose. Anyways i think Jose is a real caring man because he worried about his dog instead of his self. 

Summary about "Other Worlds"

The book that I finished reading is called "Other Worlds" by Jon scieszka. This book is a mixture of mini stories that different authors wrote. Jon just put them all together to make one whole big story. The book was ok but I thought it was going to be better. Some of the mini stories were boring and some of the were kinda interesting. The stories were just made up stories. They were also about different genres like medieval times or like someone made one that is called "Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo."Some of the stories are silly because it's just a change of topic. If I was told to make a project then I couldn't make one because it isn't about one topic. I also really didn't understand a lot of things that are from the book.
I would recommend this to people who like to read short stories but, if you are told to make a project then don't get this book. I think that this is like a side book that you read whenever you would like. This isn't such a hard book but it is confusing. It changes every single time. It's kinda like chapters but not really.
