Top 10 Book List Challenge (10/13/14)

1) The Call of the Wild by Jack London


   The Call of the Wild is my favorite book because of the word choice and because the book also has a mixture of my favorite genres. The word choice helps you imagine the scenes that are happening in the book. This book deals with action, and adventure. The book also deals with survival skills since it takes place in the Arctic. This book changed me so much because of the hard times people can put animals through. I hate the fact that humans don't understand what they can put dogs though. I love the fact that dogs will not give up no matter what nature turns their way.

2) White Fang by Jack London
   White Fang is a really great book because of the the amount of skill you need to survive and live. These wolves need to grow and thrive.  These wolves need to learn to love. And this taught me that any animal can be family. This has also taught me that all animals have a life. People should treat animals with respect, and stop fearing them.

3) Pinocchio by C. Collodi
   Pinocchio is a really great book because of the way Pinocchio tries so hard to become a real boy. I love the characters he meets, and I love the fact that he doesn't give up. He really and truly wants to become a real boy.



4) Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
   Treasure Island is an exciting book because of the action the book has. This book will also put you through a bit of suspense, and thats what I like about this book. You really can't predict what can happen, and what can go horribly wrong.



5) Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
   Oliver Twist is a book where you will be cheering, and standing up on your feet, hoping for something. You will be very anxious to read the next page sometimes. This book has some awesome pros, but some majorly bad cons. This is what I like about the book.



6) Moby Dick by Herman Melville
   Everyone knows the story of Moby Dick, but I don't think you'll know this one. This story is a great story of how a man wants to take down a giant whale named Moby Dick. Moby Dick stole his leg, and now he has a peg. I like how the old man tries his hardest to get what he deserves.

7) Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
   Black Beauty is a black beauty. This horse is awesome because of the life she's been through, and how well she is. She has awesome behavior and is has manners. Like, a horse has awesome manners!  






8) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
   The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are very fascinating. I like how he is always curios. But, Finn is a poor boy. His imagination is too big for reality. Not until he was adopted. He can make those imaginations come true if he works hard enough. That's what I like about this book, how you can make an imagination come true, if you do something in return. 




9) The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
   Tom is a mischievous character with a wild imagination. Tom is a trouble-maker and one of the first mistakes he made, he had to paint a fence. I like how this book is realistic with consequences. 





10) The Cay by Theodore Taylor
   The Cay is an amazing book on how a boy (Phillip) is lost at sea, and is rescued by a black man named Timothy. Phillip (the boy) wasn't raised around black men. So he thought it was kinda strange. Timothy also has a cat named Stew. The 3 of them are on a raft sailing to a cay. But, then, Phillip goes blind.
