Week 4

This week was the ending of the book. It didn’t end like I thought it would. I thought that it was going to end like the Kraken attacks the ship and sinks it like what happened to the pirates. But how it ended now I was shocked how Blackwood and Butch with the pirates took things from the ship during their expedition. And I would also think that they would have done something else with the “hatchlings” also know as the dinosaur eggs they found in the Congo. Yes I really enjoyed this book because it was a good adventure story. I would recommend this book to everybody because anybody would like it. The main character Luther Smyth doesn’t really change in the story. This book is trying to teach the meanings of friendship like the one you see between Luther and Marty. Why they really didn’t do anything with the dinosaur eggs after they hatched? And why they didn’t do more to stop Blackwood and Butch? I would have talked a little bit more about the Kraken and did some more things with the hatchlings.

The main character is a man named Luther Smyth. He reminds me of four people in my family, my Aunt Ashley, and my cousin Lucas, my Grandpa Ted Sr., and my Uncle Teddy because they have been to a war. But he doesn’t remind me of myself, because I have never been on an expedition. Some of Luther’s personality traits that I would like to acquire would be his sense of humor because he and Marty are always making jokes about each other. I would also like his sense of adventure and his smarts. He is also a very nice person. I would like to be friends with Luther because he is a very nice person and likes to tell jokes. He doesn’t remind me of anybody from any other book that I have read. I like how in the beginning how Bo the chimpanzee likes to rip out Luther’s fiery red hair. I also liked the part how they got Bo back on the ship and how she was still chasing Luther trying to get his hair.

The minor character in the story is Marty O’ Hara. He doesn’t remind me of anyone that I know because nobody in my family is a scientist. I would like to have Marty’s sense of humor also. I also want his smarts, and his ability to do scientific things, like how they found the dinosaur eggs in the Congo and hatched them or how he has the Gizmo and the dragonspy, which he uses to fly around the island and search for or find things. I think that so far the story is kind of weird with all of the scientific things that go on in the story. I would also like to be friends with Marty, because he seems like a really cool guy. I liked the part when he got the dragonspy out and was searching for Bo when she took the four-wheeler.

Which characters did you like the best? Which person would you like to be friends with Luther or Marty? If you had a dragonspy what would you do with it? Sorry if the story is a little hard to understand. I am also sorry about how much we have to read in the fourth week.

I have had a very rough week because I tore a muscle in my knee. Monday I went to the doctor and got X-rays. Then Friday I went and got an MRI. Then they called and said that I have to go see an orthopedic doctor. Then our 8th grade trip to six flags is next Friday, which I might not be able to go to if I have to have surgery. I am feeling mad and sad about the ordeal. But hopefully I can go and don’t have to have surgery. If I don’t have surgery I can go but after I walk a lot my knee starts to hurt.
