Hello there my name is Nick Clerk. I am 16 and attend CCHS as a junior. I live in Carbondale, Il in the middle of Nowhere. In my spare time i like to videogame it up and also play basketball. I also like to go fishing every now and then. Most people call me the gentle giant because i am one of the largest people in my high school but i wouldn't hurt a fly. I am usally very calm and chill. I live at home with my Mom and I also have a sister that is 6 years older then me and she lives in her own house. I also only play one instrument which is the drum set, but i cannot read music. When I was younger in the 4th and 5th grade i played the trumpet but nowadays i cannot remember how to read music. One "unique" skill of mine is I know how to rope cattle. I have never actually rode on a horse and roped a cow but i can rope small immobile objects such as a tree stump or a bush. I dont play any school sports or do any extracurricular activities. I am overall just your regular, average, ordinary guy.
The purpose of this blog is to blog about the book i am currently reading. The book i am reading is called Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi. I actually didnt intend on reading this book. I went up the the library shelves with the intent on grabbing A Boy Who Dared. When i actually got to the shelves they were all out of the book that i wanted so i randomly picked up this book cause i thought it looked at least semi-interesting. So far the book has met up with my standards of a good book. The beginning of the book is kind of boring but the exciting parts are starting to happen so it makes you wanna come back and read more of it. Overall i think the book is getting progressively more interesting and I think overall i will enjoy reading this whole book.
I think that we should do alot more opinionated blogs. To me it is really easy to write about how I view things. I also really like creative writing. Using your imagination in writing makes the writing so easy. I basically like every type of essay except for research papers. In my opinion i would like to blog about recent events happening in our books and also our opinions of those events that happened in our books.
