The Steelers Season
So far the Steelers have been off to a bad start. They have lost their first three games this season. With thirteen injuries so far there is not much you can do. This quote describes how their team has to perform in order to win, "We just have to go out there and perform and trust in each other to get  the job done"-Marcus Gilbert. I believe that the Steelers will only win 4 games this season. I believe this because they have 13 injuries already, and have already lost 3 games. I definitely do not believe that this is a super bowl team. 
Book Recommendations Post World War Z
The book that I am recommending is the book World War Z. I would give this book a 9.5 out of 10 stars up until my point in the book. I think that this book is really good because it has lots of details and will keep you on the edge of your chair just wanting to read more. In my book so far there has already been action. Also I am still reading to see what happens to the world. Also in this book there is a mix of genres. There is mystery involved because they have to find what happened to the world and how it all started. Action is also involved because there is a lot of zombie killing and running.

The Anything Post
   I think that my book will be about never giving up with what ever comes your way. I am 20 pages in and there is already action and suspense. The theme is already pretty much in the first chapter. For some predictions I think that this boy will infect everybody in the town and then the whole world. I also think that this doctor will only try to save his family and try to keep them alive.
World War Z Reading Skills Post
     I believe that in my book most of the world will be infected by this one little boy. I also believe that towards the end of the book they will find an abandon island that has never been infected and they will stay there till it ends then rebuild the world. I always wanted to ask this to the author but i can't so here it is... I would like to know how this infection all started and how it will be spread? I would also like to ask how they will survive this and be able to defend themselves. This infection kind of reminds me of how the Swine-flu was passed around and how many people were infected. For text to text connections this reminds me of when the show The Walking Dead was on and how they survived. For text to self connection it made me think of a game we used to play when I was a young kid. This game was called Sardines. You had to hide and if the seeker caught you, you became it(infected) and you had to help the other person find the rest of the people.

This is the movie trailer to the book World War Z

World War Z Setting
  So far I am about one chapter into my book and i am already hooked. It seems to me that this setting is going to be in a small town called New Dachang. It is a small down by the Three Gorges Dam. So far there is only one infected little boy. There was about 50 people in the building where they hid from the infected boy. This quote that I am about to share will describe the setting in which the main character is,"Their former home, "Old Dachang," had stood since the period of the Three Kingdoms, with farms and houses and even trees said to be centuries old. When the Three Gorges Dam was completed, and reservoir waters began to rise, much of Dachang had been disassembled, brick by brick, then rebuilt on higher ground"(Brooks 4-5). This quote shows that this town was old and ruined until they built it on higher ground.
