The thing I like about Swear to Howdy is that it gives a clear image of all the emotions humans have. It makes you laugh, cry, it makes you angry. But when you're finished with it, you just set it down on the table and sit and think about what an experience it was. I remember when I first started reading it in sixth grade, I laughed out loud during silent reading time and got kicked out of class. But honestly, I didn't really care because I got to read it the rest of the day!<br />- Cam <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274465391502926277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-91021310594182615732013-11-14T19:59:10.488-08:002013-11-14T19:59:10.488-08:00Okay, so I know really well that travelling is cra...Okay, so I know really well that travelling is crazy exhausting. Especially when my dad is the traveling type. The longest I've been in a car drive is meh...9 to 11 hours. And the longest plane ride?!?!? That's 15 hours! Talk abut being driven crazy! But I love travelling, too, it comes naturally, I was only 6 days when I started travelling, after all.<br />And yes, STH and TRD have whole lot of depth, so I feel that those are good books to have in a school curriculum. <br />Also, that is what I call a true coincidence! I feel so...heartbroken when tragedies like this happen. And I think it's really sad that the boy had to go through that, I hope he loved TRD an gets inspired. May that boy stay strong. <3<br />Also, I got my friend to read TRD, and she says its one of the best books she has ever read! <br />Oh, and that fundraiser? Amazing!! <br /><br />:)Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278217370979146102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-36280713970545862272013-11-14T14:40:43.450-08:002013-11-14T14:40:43.450-08:00Next Friday I'm heading to Texas for Thanksgiv...Next Friday I'm heading to Texas for Thanksgiving to see my best friend (who loves SK, by the way.)<br />And my family and I are going by car, not stopping, and it will be like, a whole day in the car. I like roadtrips, they're fun, but that is a LONG time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />GabrielleGabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471660304961348918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-58760095715774570702013-11-14T11:18:09.329-08:002013-11-14T11:18:09.329-08:00When I travel to Michigan from Alabama with my fam...When I travel to Michigan from Alabama with my family, it is only supposed to be a 10 hour car ride, but when you're toting around 6 different people with six different size bladders, well it's going to be a lot ride. Adding on an extra 2 hours. It's horrible. I understand your pain. <br />Have a lovely week! ♥<br />-<br />AbaGayleAbaGaylebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434573066931396737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-42501109291077490592013-11-13T06:43:01.674-08:002013-11-13T06:43:01.674-08:00What a scary thing to happen right at the school. ...What a scary thing to happen right at the school.

I mean, I didn't really do anything except bicker with my brothers throughout the whole ride, haha :). The schools were so generous raising up that much money for the little boy and super nice! Someday he's gonna read the Running Dream and know that he's not alone. <br /><br />Hope everyone has a great week!

I could just hear your irritation every time I read it. <br /><br />That is a big coincidence. It is such a sad story. And especially for such a young kid to lose his leg. I am such that when he gets older he will read running dream and be able to relate to it. <br /><br />I remember when I read Running Dream and she talked about how hard it was pushing the wheelchair. I figured it was hard because she had a prosthetic leg, but over the past few weeks I am learned just how hard it is. I have a class where I work with handicapped kids during their P.E. and everyday after class is over I have to push one girl up to the cafeteria. And my campus is not flat, at all. Everyday I am huffin and puffin pushing her up the hill. All I can think about is how much more respect I have Jessica and what she did. I don't think I could push someone for as long as she did. Especially up multiple hills. <br /><br />Have a great week everyone'<br /><br />KylieKyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837543024870687967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-88799482119360355912013-11-10T20:04:42.320-08:002013-11-10T20:04:42.320-08:00Yeah traveling is very exhausting.

So does Sammy Keyes of course but that has a core of adventure while the other two have a more serious aspect to them that can definitely be used in school curriculum since there is so much to analyze in them.<br />Wow that is a coincidence. I think you were sent to that area for a reason. It's so saddening when something like that happens. I hope he reads the running dream and gets strength out of it. That fundraiser was so sweet and I can only wish the best for him. <br /><br />--YusaYusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336152552714339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-72258673442645084732013-11-10T19:11:56.879-08:002013-11-10T19:11:56.879-08:00Wow!
