Mitty Blake

Mitty Blake is a regular lazy boy who doesn't really care about school. He is told to make a report about an infectious disease of the past. He decides to write about smallpox. He finds that small pox was a pandemic in Asia. It killed 400,000 people of all age. I think that my character is very lazy but can get interested in some things. He might find something out that can put the whole worlds fate in his hands.

My Freshman Year

My favorite part from speak is when Melinda ditches School. This is my favorite part because it shows how people can change so quickly. Melinda was a very happy smart student but now she is very quiet and doesn't really care about school anymore. When she ditches she goes to a hospital and lays in the bed. Melinda was not sick physically but she was sick emotionally. this shows that you don't have to be bleeding or something to be hurt u can be hurt without any physical contact.

Connection To Reading

I think i connect to Bud Not Buddy because i am very curious and i love to be away from home. Bud traveled across the state and I like to travel to far cities. Bud also gets kicked out of many places. I get kicked out of places too because I skate where I'm not supposed to. I am different from Bud because he travels to find family and I travel to find fun. When Bud travels he always keeps his most valuable possession with him and when I travel I always have my skateboard with me. When bud was traveling he had a friend tagging along. I also have a friend with me when I go far. I Don't like going far alone unless I'm gonna meet someone.
