Who Inspires Me.?
Many people everywhere have someone or something that inspires them to do what the do in the world. The person that inspires me in this world is Bill Gates. He inspires me to achieve my goals and go to college so I can hopefully be partially as successful as him. He owns a multi-billion dollar company, and pretty much dominates the world of computers. Bill Gates has had to work hard to get to the top of the computer industry. He works hard; he knows what needs to be done and is smart about it. Its how he has kept his company afloat through the recession. He has a very successful business plan and his influence continues to grow stronger with each passing day. He and his company are corporate machines hard-wired to excel in every aspect of business.

Book Report #3 Response #2.
In this book Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. Me and Harry arn't alike at all, execpt for the fact that we both wear glasses. He lives in Surrey,and I live in St. Cloud. Although the biggest difference between us is that he is a wizard and I certainly am not. The more that I think about it I find a few things we have in common, we both have green eyes, he has ten fingers, and we're both human. This is a really good book and has some nuggets you can only find when you read the book over several more times, and there's really no reason for anyone not to like this book, or series. Many other people have read this book and many other Harry Potter books and probably have good things to say about it. When he grew up he turned out alright for all the crap he had to take from the Dursleys, and taking into account him being chucked into the wizarding world when he was just eleven. He seems to be fitting in just fine.The last few things I have to say about this book and the entire series is that. One, if you have read this series before read it again, and if you haven't read it, READ IT. That is all.

Book Report Response one:
The book I read for this book report was Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. This is the forth installment of the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter’s name is put into the Goblet of Fire and is forced to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. This book is a great follow up to the third book. Overall I give this book a 9.6 out of ten. These books are not difficult to read and have length to them, so you can enjoy them for a while. In this book Harry faces some very tought decisions, like when he has to tell Cedric about the Dragons the competetors have to face in the first challenge. Another tough decision Harry had to make was when he was when Cedric gave him a few hints to the second task and Harry was not sure he should trust him. People who like the fantasy genre with really enjoy this book. Also if you like the Lord Of The Rings books you will really enjoy this book, plus they made a movie after this book and its nice to watch the movies after reading this series. People who wouldn’t like this book are people who don’t like reading long books or like fantasy. The Harry Potter series are over all one of the best series out there and I’ve read them over multiple times so they must be good. Twilight ain’t got nothing on HP.

Book Report Two: Response Two
When I finished this book I went online looking for a sequel and I figured since it is the Chronicles of Mistmantle there would be more Chronicles. That is how much I enjoyed this book. I give this book a ten out of ten for sheer excellence. This book contains everything a good book should have; action, love, drama, betrayal, comedy, adventure, suspense, and hope. Urchin and I are hardly alike. He works hard just to become a tower a squirrel and hopefully join the circle. I don’t work hard and I don’t want to be a tower squirrel, I personally enjoy being human. I learned from this book that you need to act, not just sit on the sidelines waiting for somebody to save the day. Another thing I learned is to not judge people on how they look or act because people thought Urchin was not normal and though he deserved to be culled. (killing small or deformed babies because the would suffer in life and eat up the islands food stores and not pull their weight). People are people and they are probably will not change who they are. The only complaint I have is this books length and density. It could have been longer and they could have fit a lot more on a page. What I’m trying to say is that this book lacks substance. This book is awesome and I will read it again for the fifth time in a year or two.

The book I read was Mistmantle Chronicles: Urchin of The Riding Stars. Urchin’s mother stowed away on a ship to the island of Mistmantle. She had fallen overboard and washed up on the Mistmantle shore. Right then she had giving birth to Urchin and died in the process. Urchin had been scooped up off the bank by a seagull and is dropped on the night of the riding stars. (Urchin is a squirrel and Mistmantle is populated by squirrels, otters, moles, and hedgehogs.) His fur is pale and when Brother Fir and Captain Crispin first saw him from Fir’s turret they though he was a riding star, then realized it was a squirrel and went to go see if he was still alive
I like this book because it is adventurous and for some reason I really enjoy books like this with tiny little forest animals with swords. I have read this book 3 times so clearly I like it. People who like Lord of The Rings books would like this book. This book is easy to read, and can easily be finished in a day. A person who could not stand Lord of the Rings books but like the genre would like this book it’s a very light, easy read.
Urchin had to make some incredibly tough decisions. For example, when Crispin was exiled Urchin could have gone with him or he could stay on Mistmantle and help Padra uncover the plot to murder the king of Mistmantle.

Theme
I think the theme of the Fellowship of the Ring is that teamwork is an essential to any well laid plan, and if you have plenty of friends your plan is less likely to fail. I can relate to this because when i am playing some of my 360 games online you can not usually win if your team does nothing. I think Frodo as he leaves with one boat and Sam that he wishes he would have brought the whole company too.
Theme and Storyline
Frodo must take the Ring of power that had been lost after Isildur cut Saurons finger off. Nine riders called the Naz-Gul are after Frodo and the ring. They had no idea he had it they were just going on suspicion and command from their leader Sauron.The ring was found by Gollum but was really still hidden because nobody knew Gollum had the ring and nobody knew where Gollum was or led alone existed at the time. Bilbo had met him in his cave deep under the misty mountains and beat Gollum in a riddles contest and one the ring. Bilbo had left the ring to Frodo and went to live a lif in solitude. Gandalf had wondered for years what the rings power was and if it was indeed THE Ring, The Ruling Ring, that Bilbo had stumbled across. For Frodo being the ring bearer takes a toll on Frodo as he tries with all his might to complete the task sent upon him from Elrond of Rivedell.
