Should there be zoos?

I think that zoos should be kept, because we they are helpful. When we need to do a project, we need the resources. Sometimes the zoo is filled with a lot of those. When I go visit the zoo, I see a description of the animal. Some people think that putting animals is harmless to them, but I don't think that. The zoo is so helpful, that I could go and do an entire essay on the species. I totally am in the agreement of having zoos. These other people need to start realizing that the zoos are beneficial. I hope the zoos are never taken apart.

Book Review on Kidnapped Book Two: The Search

Yes, it is that time when you have completed reading a book. I am happy that I finished reading the book. Now, I need to pick another book for this month's project. Below is a book report I have created.

When I first saw the title of this book, I said this is going to be the book I am going to read for the month of October. No other book interested me as much as this book. The illustrations in the front cover were awesome too. I can tell where the story is taking place; just by looking at the pictures. The summary on the back of the book was just phenomenal. I liked the two last sentences that read, "Even Meg's kidnappers want to know. Because catching her doesn't always mean keeping her." This was my reaction as I saw the book for the first time.

The beginning was colossal. I understood it very well. This is the first time that I enjoyed reading. This book was full of adventure and mystery. Maybe that's why I did not get bored this time. Anyway, the story started with the kidnapping already, so it was already getting good. This girl named Meg was put into a car trunk tied up to a rope. She was moving and putting effort into escaping. She was looking in the trunk to see if there were any supplies that would help her escape. She found broken cables, a sponge, a yogurt container, and a box of ammunition for a pistol. There was also a metal tire iron. Meg used the tire and the box of ammunition to attempt the escape. At first she was not sure if she should do the escape or not. She then went for it. She took the first shot, but the bullet did not fire. She did not give up though; she tried it again. In this shot, the bullet did fire and created an explosion towards the tire. The driver lost control of the vehicle, but then regained it back. The driver stopped the car to see what the problem was. One of the other kidnappers opened the trunk door. As soon as Meg saw her chance, she ran as fast as she could.

Since Meg was missing, Aiden, her older brother was looking for her. Their parents both died, so now Aiden is now like the "dad." He is searching all over the place, but he can't seem to find her. He even received some help, but still that didn't work. Aiden is like Meg, he is not going to give up. He kept searching and searching, but still nothing. At the end, the story stays the same; he can't find her. He lastly said, "Aw, Meg, Where are you?"
