best friend

My best friend is John Stormans. The first time i ever met him was at basketball practice in 6th grade. Its kinda funny cause John is one of the best atheletes i no. He has a great body from all the sports he plays. Hes about 5 8 and weighs and 130 pounds. Also he is a very outgoing person and is always craking jokes.
Right a away i could tell he was more of an Extrovert than Introvert. Most of the time John is practicing tennis. Hes really good at it. Hes very laid back which is good to have in a friend if you are always cracking a good joke with him. Overall hes a great guy and im glad hes my friend.

memory

one of the earliest memory i can remeber is when i went to hawaii in first grade. i was so excited. not only was i going to hawaii for the first time to see some of my family i havent seen since i was like two i also got to there on a plane. when we got on the plane i remeber i was so excited but 10 minutes later i was asleep till we got to hawaii. when we got there my aunts, uncles, and cousin met us at the airport. boy, that was a happy moment in my life. then we wen to there house and went swimming. i remeber that was the first time i had ever swam in the ocean i think.
a week went by and it was time to fly back to olympia. i remeber i was so sad to leave hawaii cause my cousins were so cool. my parents had to drag me out of the thier house. then we got on the plane and flew home and the greatest vacation ever was over.

Treasure Island Imagery

In treasure island the author uses a lot of imagery. i think he uses it to really show how hard times were back then. the way he describes the looks and the smells that pirates have really makes me understand the book better and that time peroid.
also whenever the author introduced a new setting he described it very well. one thing the Robert Louis Stevenson did that really helped paint a picture in my head was his use of jargon and pirate terms.one example is all there terms for the different parts of the ship. overall if treasure island didnt have the imagery it has the book would be alot more hard to follow and would be confusing.

book

Treasure Island is going very well. This is the type of book that immediately grabs my attention because i like pirates and adventures. So far i can tell i am going to get both. so far it hasnt been hard to get into because i just want to finish it and its not that bad so far. the most reoccurring element so far is motif. it is sorta obvious. the book was probably written in this manner to get a point across. most fiction books have a deeper meaning to them, and i think this is one of them. the tone of the book so far is kinda dramatic. so far the tone hasnt changed from to chapter because ive only read two chapters and the tone is dramatic. i see most of the book staying inthis tone.
