Summary and tough questions

In the book " A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer, so far I have read that the main character David is only nine years of age and is living a life of regret and shame. Though he has no reason to, his mother is making him believe that he is worthless and a piece of garbage. Davids father isn't as bad but he lets the mother abuse him until David is almost knocked out by the pain. This book is nonfiction, it is based on his life growing up, he has other books after this one. One day David gets fed up with all the painstaking beating and just left one day. He ended up going into town on a late night and going into a bar or pizza place. People in the restaurant were surprised he was there because it was late. So of course the called the 5.0. That same night he was taken home by his dad and as we can assume he was beat when he got home.
     One of the tough questions was when he questioned himself about leaving his family. Would he get caught? Would he die? Can he survive? These were things running through his mind, he wasn't really sure what he had to do to survive. David always though to himself maybe ill do better with out my mother and father, I was never really wanted. If any child feels like that they should really seek help from a trusted adult, anyway back to the topic that was one of David's toughest questions that he made to himself.

summary and Character Analysis

From where I left off on this book, Agent Harris from the FBI is the main reason the original Falconer case was turned down. Due to this he has to carry the guilt of having to stop the search party because it has been to long and it is costing to much money to continue the search. Though we know that Meg is still out there.

Meg is a brave and courageous girl. I know this because from the beginning I read that she fought before she even went inside the van, she kicked and screamed before she entered the van. Also in the story I read that even in the search party she was keeping herself strong even though she was not being found. That shows bravery.

Summary and Memory Moments

Based on where I left off in "The Abduction Kidnapped by Gordon Korman" I saw that Aidan, Megs brother was still willing to risk every inch of his life to save is sister. Even after the abduction he still ran after the van. In the text it states that he got onto a scooter and started going after the van that grabbed Meg. Aidan is a brother that is willing to sacrifice himself for his sister. Now in the book I have read that he has been different and is having the FBI come in and search everywhere for Meg. Now thats a brother that I would love to have.

Now that Meg is abducted Aidan begins to have flash backs of him and his sister. In the story it shows or tells how they grew up together. To read that they had a close relationship when they were younger is amazing. This is how I knew they were memory moments because they were flashbacks.

Summary and Character Analysis #6

In the book The Abduction Kidnapped by Gordon Korman. So far I have read that the main character Meg is living a regular teen life with her brother Aidan and her family. They argue, laugh, and have lot of family time until that one day. It was Aidan and Meg alone and out of no where a van comes up behind them and struggles to take Meg. Aidan was the one who was yelling for help but no one paid attention. Aidan fought with the man in a spiderman mask, then the driver said " They're calling the cops lets go", that caused the man to leave Aidan beaten on the ground and alone.

The character Aidan is a very brave young man. I know this because in the story he was the one to fight back when they took Meg. He was the one screaming to call 911 while he was fighting the kidnappers. In the text it said that Aidan said "call 911, someone help" while he was trying to get his sister back. That clearly proves that he was a brave brother and was willing to get hurt for his sister.

Finishing up Selena and Aha-Moments

The previous blog was on how Selena's best friend was a thief. Continuing on with the book I read that Selena confronted Yolanda and things went down! when Selena would confront Yolanda she would make excuses of why she needed the money and why she would waste it on personal belongings. Selena was fed up, Selena told Yolanda to give back every cent she used, Yolanda was ferrous. She didn't have that money, she would go bankrupt, so what did she do, she played Selena once again. Yolanda called Selena to meet her at a hotel so she could receive the check with all the money, of course Selena went but when she arrived Yolanda was ready to fight. She caught Selena by surprise and Selena fought right back, but when Yolanda pulled out her gun the first thing for Selena was to run and she did. Yolanda fired and it shot Selena in the shoulder which caused tragic and horrifying internal bleeding. Selena died that day which was on March 31, 1995.

While I was reading this book I noticed that Selena was a very trustworthy person and someone who has lots of trust with friends. I know this because in the text it stated "Yolanda was her manager". This shows that Selena was able to put trust in her own friends, I as a person would not, I would get someone professional. Also I saw that Selena was one of a kind. To this day no one has beat Selena's vocal abilities. We had Whitney Houston, but Selena had the vocals as an infant. I know this because in her book it talked about, "Selena started her career as young as 10" This proves that she started her life as a worker but not a child. She worked harder than anybody at 10.

Continuing with Selena with Memory Moments

From were I left off, I have read that Selena started her career at a very young age and began going all around the world when she got record deals and so on. Selena had her best friend manage her money and book places were she would perform. Selena noticed something was wrong with the money count, She wondered what had happened if her "best friend" was managing it. Selena then realized that her friend had been stealing money, OMG her "friend" is a thief! Selena confronted her and things went spiral. In the text it says that, "By March, evidence of embezzlement by Yolanda Saldivar had piled up." Also, " Selena was confused. She had trusted this woman.......And now she is betraying her family?.." In conclusion we see that Selena's friend was fake.

In the book Selena by Veda Boyd Jones, it talked about Selena remembering what her childhood was before she became a big shot in the music industry. Selena talked about being smart in her classes, her teacher said " Selena was an amazing student." That proves that even though Selena was always on the road performing she always was getting her work done and continuing on with her school work. Selena was always reminding her self of her friends when she would perform, she never forgot of were she came from.

Summary of Selena Quintanilla and Character Analysis

In the Book Selena by, Veda Boyd Jones, So far I have read that Selena was an American singer and songwriter. She was named the "top Latin artist of the '90s". Selena started singing at a very young age and began working or performing at wedding, dinners, get together etc. around 13. In the book it talked about Selena being raised as a Jehovahs Witness, from what I know about Jehovahs Witness I believe that her becoming a pop star and not singing for God would be a contradiction. In the book it talks about having a family band, her brothers would play guitar or piano and she would be the singer. Selena loved to sing Tejano music, in other words Mexican country music. Tejano Music is not big in America but many people still listen to Selena's music.


Selena is a Tejana young lady that would go to school and come home like a normal child, until people discovered that she had a voice on her! Ever since her family and friends found out that she had an amazing voice, they would set up record listening for her, parties, dinners and weddings. Selena found this stressful, though she was an amazing student she did have to leave school and be a full-time performer. In the book it tells on how she become famous and how she felt and reacted. Selena always loved music though she never really got to live her life.
