1st paragraph for HOOT

In Hoot, Carl Hiaasen uses eco-sabotage to highlight environmental issues that are affecting our world. The kids in the Coconut Cove community try to save owls that are buried under the ground because the owners of Mother Paula’s Pancake House want to build on their homes. First, the boys try to approach the people in charge peacefully, but they are not successful. The kids use eco sabotage tactics to save the owls because they feel it is the strongest statement that they can make. Although vandalizing property is against the law, in some circumstances, it can serve a greater purpose. Such as in this case the barefoot boy wants to save the owls homes from being destroyed. eco-sabotage, the destruction of property by vandals, is ethically justified in certain circumstances.

reading responce

In Hoot the main charcter is Roy he is a young boy that moves alot because of his fathers job.
He moves to coconut cove and has a hard time making new friends. He gets in fights and has to resolve them.
But he is expecially curious about this bare foot boy that runs by them everyday on the bus. One qote that i like
from the book is about the bare foot boy when Roy chases him in the golf coures. "Roy loosened the knot and peeked but he couldnt see what was inside whatever it was felt buky.. Uh oh Roy said Snakes and not jsut only snakes".pg.51 I like this part because it shows how into nature he is and how Roy doesnt really no anything about nature and not being in the city. He soon starts to relate to the bare foot boy and learns many new things.

new london walk: week two #2

New London Agency, dirt on my shoes and cars swish by. A Mountain Dew bottle from a week ago and a brand new Jeep Cherokee blue with a trail rated sign on it. A Easter flag for the upcoming holiday with pink, yellow, blue, and purple. Looking out the window pains, a white wooden fence with dead grass and gross tree with empty branches. A lady leaves her minivan with her red coat and her daughter. She walks into Morgan Hill bookstore and music. A Colorado licenses plate witch is a little out of place and a Citco sign with no gas station around. Whatever. Bobby walks towards me with his timberland boots on and interesting black hat that all the boys wear around campus. I come to a New London Inn sign 1792. I walk up the old stairs with chipped green paint and can see the original paint job underneath it. I sit on an old green chair on the porch. And a sign that faces me and it reads “Now serving dinner” dead plants in the garden and little white pebbles border the railings walking up the old stairs. A FedEx box for outgoing mail and an American flag walk down Pleasant Street.

sketch # 4:week 1 #2

Silent in the common room gross old chairs that are grayish and have thing stuffed in the side of them people have just sat there for the night ew. A snowman pillow witch is a little out dated and a old red bull can that Annabelle left in here earlier along with her seventeen magazine. A paper bag and a but to a lacrosse stick and a takeout menu for Chinese laying on the couch next to me and someone’s random rain boots that are striped with pink yellow blue and purple one stands up tall and the other one falling over against the wooden table that has random stuff molded into it. And a strifome thing that could have random old food in it. To my left are the blue recycling bins that we use now so we can SAVE THE WORLD because of this we have plastic bottles that overflow. And next to it crinkly paper bags that be throw in there to.
