Window or Mirror

I just read a book called The Wild Robot by Peter Brown that takes place in the future  when humans have invented robots. I have had this book sitting on my shelf for a while, but what finally motivated me to read it is an extra credit assignment for Computer Science. After reading this book it is definitely one of my top ten favorite books. I love how the story goes and the images are very good. Therefore I highly recommend this book to a reader of any level.  

I would say that this book is a window book because it kind of explains the island from the animal’s perspective on a fictional island. Also it takes place in the future and the main character is a robot. Usually I read window books because I like to read futuristic books or fantasy, also mirror books for me are hard to find.

My Backpack

Jackson’s Backpack 

Over summer break I read Finding Someplace by Denis Lewis Patrick. This is a book about a girl named Reesie who lived in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. All her friends and acquaintances have evacuated the city. She is separated from her family and she has to pack a backpack full of important items so she can survive the hurricane. She has to choose wisely because there isn’t a lot of space in the backpack. If she forgets something that would be bad. 

If I was in this situation, I would bring communication devices so I wouldn’t get lost from humanity. I would bring walkie talkies so I could talk to people over distances which voices can’t cover.  I would bring a megaphone so I can yell at people. Also, with a megaphone I can yell at people looking for people surviving the hurricane. I could also talk over loud hurricane noises. I can also bring essentials for surviving. I would bring a water bottle and a LifeStraw. A LifeStraw is basically a water purification device and a straw combined so I could drink safe water. I would also bring a life vest. If I had room I can bring a swimsuit so I could dry quicker. I would also bring hand sanitizer. I would bring a taser in case of drunk people or bad guys(or girls). Finally, I would bring a 3 in1 hand crank, solar powered flashlight, radio, and phone charger. Then I would pack items I need to survive. I would bring a 12 pack of Clif Kids energy bars. I would bring the first aid kit in case I fall. I would bring cash in a waterproof container. These are the items I would need to survive in a hurricane.
