What I thought about my book
I absolutely loved my book. I was so happy with it and I definitely do not regret picking it. When we were in our groups there was one new book introduced to me, The Rules of Survival. It is about a boy named Matt who tries to find a man named Murdoch and eventually sees him again when Matt's abusive mother starts dating Murdoch. Eventually the mother and Murdoch break up and the mother becomes more abusive to her three children. Matt seeks out way for his father to get full custody and is chance finally comes when his mother is arrested for stalking Murdoch. With the help of their aunt and Murdoch, Matt's father gets full custody of his children. I think this sounds like a really good book and I am thinking about reading it in the future.

2nd research topic
My
second choice of a research topic is homeless teens and another assumtion
people make about them. People automatically think homeless teens ran away. My
paper definitely argues it is not okay because the teens could have been
abused, or broke, or kicked out.

1st research topic
I picked Can't Get There From Here as my
English summer reading book. My first
choice of a research topic is the issue of stereotyping or profiling.
Stereotyping is a very common topic so I am narrowing it down to when people
assume all homeless people want money for is drugs. Most people in today's world think that is
the definite case but in at least half of the cases it is not. My paper
definitely argues that it is not okay.
