911 World Trade Center Attack

     On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes and attacked the United States. Two of the airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City.  One of the planes crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia; which is the U.S. military headquarters. The 4th plane was of fought down by passengers which made the terrorists miss their target. In all, nearly 3,ooo people were killed in the 9/11 attacks.
     A terrorist group out of the Middle East, led by Osama Bin Laden, was responsible for the attack on the U.S.  America responded by attacking Afghanistan, where Al Quada was based. The attacks resulted in the U.S. government taking steps to make a safer country. They tightened security in many public areas, and the Department of Homeland Security was created.

The Maze Runner

        The Maze Runner by James Dashner is a fictional novel. It is the first book in a four book series. I have watched The Maze Runner Movie before but never read the book. I am only sixty pages into the book and I can already tell a difference in the detail. For example, the book has a window where you can see into the the and the movie does not.
        The main character Thomas gets sent up to a maze with his memory wiped with whole bunch of strangers. They have to figure a way to get out without dying. So far the book has been very interesting and adventurous. I know that the book can only get better from here.

Boat

         Over the summer my dad got a new boat. It's a twenty two foot open fisherman boat. Over the summer we go to Orange Beach all the time and thats when we ride it. The most fun thing on the boat for me is being dragged behind it on a tube. We go really fast and have to try to stay on without filling off.
         Another one of my favorite things to do on the boat is pull up to Florda-Bama Yhat Club. That is a restaurant that is on the beach and it is half way in Florida and Alabama. I always get the same thing, the shrimp basket. Overall, the boat was definitely one of the best parts of my summer.

Summer Ball

        Summer Ball by Mike Lupika is a novel about a Danny who goes to summer camp. The camp is a overnight basketball camp for three weeks. Over time during the camp he become a better person by learning a valuable lesson. This book is the only one, it is not in a series.
        I would suggest this book to people who like basketball and sports in general. The book is under three hundred pages and is very interesting. This book is in my top five best books that I have read. Overall, if you want to read a book that is short and interesting you should read this book.
