Throughout the last two weeks, I have been reading Patrick Ness’ Monsters of Men and Garth stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain. I had 478 pages left of Monsters of Men and I finished that book. I am currently on page 122 of The Art of Racing in the Rain. Monsters of Men was about the battle between Spackle and the people. There were two groups of people that were also against each other but they decided that they had to join forces because one group did not have food and the other group did not have water because the Spackle destroyed their supply of it.
There are many people in the world that have made a difference. Every person alive, that has been alive, and will be born, will have an effect on the world in one way or another. Two people that have affected the world are Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian antiwar activist, and Chris McCandless, from the true novel Into the Wild. These two may have affected the world differently, but when their actions and stories are put together, a whole is created.

Introduction Garth Stein, author of the renowned The Art of Racing in the Rain has a capacity to engage readers from the beginning to the end of each novel. One might ask how what his writing is so appealing; numerous people believe that great novels are because of the who the author is as a person. However, the author has to allow the characters to take on their own personalities; the characters are very much different from the author in truly iconic novels. Garth Stein certainly subscribes to this idea, as he is known for his stories that seem authentic and natural, driven by his original characters, rather than characters based off of himself.
In my point of view the hardest only hardest track meet I have ran in is the North Half because there is a lot more faster people and more heats to run in. You must qualify in the North Half meet to make it to state. Waking up early in the morning and traveling to Jackson for one day for the best track meet you will ever be at. At this track meet you have to place from first to third in order to get a medal. At the State Track meet it is fun because you get to meet new people and you can buy a t-shirt with everyone’s name on it that made it to state.
I always hear people say oh barrel racing it’s so easy all you do is go out there and run around metal barrels. Being a barrel racer is more than getting on a horse and going out into the arena and running around some metal barrels. To be a barrel racer it takes guts, determination, strength, agility, trust and a lot of patience. Barrel racing is all about the bond and trust you have with your horse because without that, you will never have a successful barrel racing career and you can get hurt.
There is an ongoing debate on whether or not NASCAR should be considered a sport. I believe that NASCAR is not a sport for two reasons; it requires very little athleticism, and it is more of a hobby then it is a sport. For these reasons NASCAR should be recognized as a hobby, not as an actual,professional sport. NASCAR requires very little athleticism. The definition of sport is; an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

They are useless to their owners and sent away. Most of the injuries horses receive are from the whippings and being forced to run at outrageous speeds, which can result in multiple wounds.

Ah, the love of indoor track meets! A similar situation has happened to me at an indoor meet where I kept running because I wasn 't sure if I still had another lap left. Which the officials are supposed to keep track of the amount of laps we run, especially when we’re distance runners, running on a 200 meter track! In this situation, I would recommend never relying on other people’s body language while they are running. When someone is exerting themselves so much in a race, their facial expressions might look like they are about the finish, but really they could just be tired.
