Make Up from last Tuesday: !y favorite book of the year was Unbroken. This book was great and included so much detail on Louie, Family members, friends, and even his enemy the bird. I liked how the author took each event in Louie's life and went into how he got there and why. The author also makes a non-fiction read very entertaining and never had any bias or opinions added in. The author also explained very well.

Billy the Kid is similar to the book Unbroken both of them being non-fiction. Billy the Kid and Unbroken have very similar writing styles because bothe of them are non-fiction means that the authors have to be very descriptive and have keep you entertained. Non-fiction books can sometimes be thought of as boring or uninteresting therefore the author has to use interesting facts that can connect to the reader.

If I had to interview one character from the book it would be Billy the Kid. Some questions I would ask are why did you start to commiting crimes? Do you feel if you had better parents and a better childhood that you would have different life? To the first questions his response would most likely be I started to commit crimes because my parents were never home and me and my brother had nothing. Secondly Yes I do.

The main character is named Henry McCarty and has a brother named John. Not much is known about Henry's early life but there are many theories and ideas. They do know that they basically had no parents which lead to a life of crime. I believe that I have become a better reader because the book that is very well written and has lots of information. I think that by reading this book shows how I have improved.
