My favorite book that I have read this year was this one, 747 by Joe Sutter. This book is my favorite this year because I enjoy aviation and this is my favorite aircraft, often referred to as "the queen". The theme of this is general aviation and the characters are airlines and 747s. The plot is mainly in the Boeing Factory in Seattle.

The book I am reading currently is about aviation and the book I have read before was about battles. The style of writing in this book I am currently reading is very factual and it is about facts of the plane, and airlines that have committed to it. The previous book, STAR WARS, had a story behind it and how there is a dark side and the light side.

I would interview the CEO of United Airlines if I could interview one person. I would ask him how much money it took to purchase all the 747s in their fleet, and how much money profit is made from each revenue flight. They might say about 2 billion dollars went in to upgrading and purchasing all their 747s. Also, hundreds of thousands are made from each flight.

Over the past week I read how the engineers started to develop the Boeing 747-8 which is an update to the older 747, has GE-Nx General Electric engines, more efficient wingtips and overall it is longer. The 747-8 was beginning to be designed in 2006 but released nearly 5 years later. It was first delivered to Nippon Cargo.

The author's message in this book is how efficient the Boeing 747 was back in the day and how they are slowly disappearing. The author is trying to say that this method of air travel is the best and that it is an experience to fly it. The author uses other events like when the first 747 was delivered to United and he uses airlines and how their first class is equipped on the 747 like Cathay Pacific with a 2X2 pattern

I chose this book because one of my friends was reading it and he told me to read it because it was interesting. This book is compelling because it is an adventurous book and you are eager to read it. Reading this book proves that I am a stronger reader by me being interested in a book and not just reading for Goodreads and not caring about the context. I am picking more interesting books to read.

EXTRA CREDIT GOODREADS UPDATE: I have finished this book and realized that in the book as well in the movie, early disagreements can lead to conflicts because Han Solo's son Kylo Ren killed him because of their opposites. The book was different than the movie, and much topics were left out that were not in the movie, like when Kylo was solo flying a tie fighter to try to eliminate the Mellenium Falcon.

I would not like to be a character in this story because of all the violence going on in the galaxy. There is the dark side on every planet, and some planets are blown up. I would not insert myself as a new or existing character because I don't want to be in this realm. In addition, there are humans, but on those planets there are monsters and other creepy-like animals and hybrids.

Conflict. This element of plot structure regards my independent reading book because of the conflict between Kylo (leader of the resistance) and Han Solo. Han Solo is a man who fights against the resistance but his son is the evil Sith Lord and Han wants to get his son back to normal. It is a battle of opposites between the two. The outcome when Han talks one on one with his son, is his son kills him with a lighsaber

What happened in my book this week is when Kylo Ren (Han Solo's son) s mainly introduced. His light saber is scary, and he is the main leader of the resistance. In addition, Han Solo and Chewbacca are found on a spaceship that collects junk. Han gets the Millenium falcon back and Chewbacca is still strong with his crossbow. They are currently flying back to Jakku to hide from the resistance.

The character that I am going to choose in this reading is Rey. She is a woman with the force and is strong. She has a chill personality and is like a Tomboy. This book is fun to read since I watched the movie first, and now I'm reading it. Rey is a big fan of gadgets and building things and when she flew the Millenium Falcon off Jakku, she did it like a pro, with no experience whatsoever. She likes Jedi battles.

Summarizing for my Extra Credit Goodreads update. So the main thing that happened so far is that Benny Imura goes zombie hunting with his older brother Tom. Tom is a zombie bounty hunter and his younger brother Benny has a weird fascination for zombies. Tom goes out to search for zombies with his younger brother and this is where I am currently stopped reading.

The purpose and audience of this book is to interest little kids in nonexistent life stories of other kids. Therefore, young kids could read about what other kids and people had to experience in their times. The author wrote this to describe how important life is and yolo (you only live once). The author wants people to live their lives to the fullest. Overall, the book is for all ages and gender.

I can relate to Morgie in the book. I relate to Morgie because of my naîvness in occasional situations. Also, Morgie is smart when in school and when around friends or people acts like a total idiot. Morgie gery funny inside and outside of school. Morgie also is on and off with test taking. Sometimes he gets Bs and Cs when he should be getting A's due to the laziness of studying. In addition, Morgie is adventurous.

It was a long and boring weekend for me and I had nothing to do, so I read Animal Farm up to Chapter 7 and finished this book, "Bushman Lives!" Harold Knishke and Geets begin to get more along with each other as they were first best friends, then got into many arguments over art and now are getting along again. I didn't enjoy the book because it was about art which I'm not interested in, my dad made me read it.

If I had to interview one character in my book I would interview Harold Knishke. I would ask Harold how art has taken over his life and how it affects his relationships as not stated in the book yet. In reply he might say that I always enjoyed writing,drawing, and literature and I have good relationships with other artists and Geets is my best friend.

My novels story would be different if there was a different narrator because it wouldn't be from Harold Knishke's perspective but rather from a different point of view. If the narrator was Daniel Pinkwater then he would have shared his opinions on Harold's character rather than Harold's point of view on others but it would be magnificent if it was from the author's point of view.

Then best part of this book is when Alpha Chalk One's Blackhawk CH-47 made a crash landing and the DEVGRU team had to improvise how to get in the compound so they used explosives. I liked this part because of the adrenaline level of the DEVGRU team. The worst part of the book is when they described what Osama Bin Laden looked like and when they shot him and it was extremely gory and disgusting.

The last part of my book I just finished reading and what the DEVGRU group is doin is they are bringing Osama Bin Laden's body and computers, papers, other materials such as weapons back from the compound to the District of Colombia for evidence. I also read the epilogue which is 22 pages.

The author probably writ this selection because he wanted to show every-day civilians how hard it is to execute a person and the slim chances of getting into the DEVGRU group. He also wanted to show how the mission worked out to kill Osama Bin Laden and his son Khalid.

In the book so far I a,m in the rising action. So far, the seals are training to and studying the compound belonging to Osama bin laden and are getting ready to invade it. It consists of three floors with walls surrounding the compound 12 feet high. This is the rising action because all of the information probably will lead up to the killing of Osama Bin Laden which will be the climax.

I feel really good about this book, it is really interesting. I would give my book a rating of 10 because I can't stop reading it I read it everyday. I would recommend this book for veterans or people in the army because it is about the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

The book is about the mission that killed Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden and his son Khalid. You can get more information from someone that is on Seal Team Six or you can get more information about what happened in Islamabad and Abbotobad where the events took place. Since the seals took DNA samples of Bin Laden you can find more about him and they did an autopsy to reveal what he has been eating.

Climax: the climax in this book is when Jedi Anakin Skywalker turns to Darth Vader and is a turning point in the boom from everything being happy to sad after this event. Another reason for climax would be when Palpatine says to Execute Order 66 and kill al Jedi and for the clones to rebel.

Anakin is beginning to change into a different character and is starting to disobey Obi Wan. They are in the Galactic Reoublic ship and they landed in a remote village to find that there are droids all over the place. They sense General Grevious is nearby and order the clones to attack. Here in this scene Palpatine says to execute Order 66 which means for the clones to rebel and kill al Jedi.

The authors purpose in writing this book is to entertain you about the life of Jedi. There really is no message to send to the readers because it he book is taking place on Tatooine and in the main Jedi-City. In this book Anakin is beginning to change into a different personality that will result in the transformation from Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side and be Darth Vader.

I can relate to the main character of my book because Anakin usually has the same attitude as I do as he thinks things are really easy to do. Also, Anakin gets into a lot of trouble, as do I. But mainly, we don't relate because Anakin is a grown man and I am not so that makes it hard to find similarities and relations. Overall, there are many characters in the book but Anakin stands out because of his attitude.

I chose to read this book because I had nothing else in my bookshelf I haven't read and because I'm a huge fan of Star Wars. I chose mainly to read it because Episode 3 Revenge of The Sith is my favorite movie and it has my favorite scene. This book so far has lived up to my expectations, it is just like the movie if not better. This year I will try to read the whole series and all of these Star Wars books.
