In the book The Alchemist{secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel} My favorite character Josh had some dramatic changes in character traits. In the beginning of the book Josh was calm and reserved, later on he became confident, indepentent and strong willed. An example being is when Josh is given the task to drive the car with his sister Kate, and the alchemist Nich over the golden-gate bridge. This would be a problem, but considering Josh is only 15 and the golden gate bridge is under attack for "Morgan's children" or a flock of deadly crows. Not only was Josh brave enough to take on this role, he also did a stellar job. He even had to make a split second desision that would ultimaltley save him and his friends. This is why Josh is my favorite character. He proves through literature that people can make better personality changes

Assignment 1

1.     My favorite book is POP; POP is about a young high school football star, Josh, who thinks he knows everything about football. While playing football with his friends in the park, the ball lands at the feet of an old, yet muscular old man. He whips the ball back at Josh, faster than anything he’s ever seen. The man’s name is Charlie. Charlie is a retired NFL linebacker who played football for the chargers in the 80’s. But there’s something wrong with Charlie, he has Altztimers. This was caused by too many hits to the head. However Charlie still remembers his playing days very well. Josh spends a lot of time with Charlie, learning things he didn’t know existed about football, and how it should be played. Josh’s lessons learned from Charlie not only made him a good player, but an even better teammate.

2.     I gravitate to realistic fiction or Non-Fiction
