Gary Paulson

In Gary Paulsons book -Guts, He tells his storys of the hardships that he has been through with nature and the real world. In the certain story i read was about a man in his Early fiftys who lived on a ranch. Paulson was working as a volunteer for the firedepartment as the emergency vehicle technition. Pualson said he got the call mid afternoon when a woman said her husband was having chest pains. Pualson raced to the ranch. as soon as he got there the man was at the kitchen table holding his left arm. Gary went to help the man but a suddon jolt hit him and fell on the floor. Gary went to do CPR and once again a jolt hit him. Gary knew the man was dead but didnt give up. When Gary writes these passages i think he wants us to know that life isnt just a bunch of rainbows and butterflys. Things happen and thats just the way it is.

Sisters of misery

The book i am currently reading is called Sisters Of Misery by Megan kelly Hall. What Megan kelly is trying to tell you in this book is that the truth is rarely innocent and never really is simple. She proves this throughout the book by talking about the girls relationships between each other. She also shows this by how the girls act towards people that they don’t know. I do agree with Megan Kelly in what she writes about because what she is saying or what she is trying to get through to us in this book is that life isn’t simple. We have to pick our battles and get through them. Maybe we don’t always choose our battles but we have to get through them in the best ways possible. I really did like this book because it sucks you in and you seem to not want to put it down after the first couple chapters.
