Pirate Diary February 23, 2010

The Journal of Jake Carpenter was rather interesting. It was filled with a lot of interesting things but they were gruesome. I could not see girls really getting into this. But on the other hand that my be a stereotype. I personally did not like the book because of the graphic pictures and language. I like the way the book is written though. It did grab my attention and keep me hooked until the end. Before science class this morning Velma and I were talking about this book and we both did not understand why a doctor would send his son off to sea. Especially when pirates were everywhere. I don’t think that made much sense at all. I honestly believe that a doctor would keep his son far away from that kind of lifestyle. I also really enjoyed how Jake was reunited with his uncle. It was amazing how he survived because I thought after they set his uncle off of the ship that Jake would never make it but he did and together him and Will are going on a fishing ship called the Newfoundland.
