     The authors main purpose of this article is to inform us that athletic trainers are provided to all schools. Keith Sherman, athletic trainers of Batesville School District, does whatever is possible to prevent injuries. The text says, "Athletic trainers...provide injury prevention and conditioning program, injury evaluation prepare athletes for practice and competition..." I agree with this text that athletic trainers are completely helpful. Keith, does a very good job to help out an injury and maintain it well and strong. There's no doubt that trainers are completely useful and helpful. This helps our athletes, and shows our community how much we care.

Inference, Evidence, Explanation, 9/11.

Inference: They're are 71 elevators and 5 of those go really fast, possible for any other attack that could happen.

Evidence: Those 5 fast elevators reach at a speed of 23mph! And it only takes 45 seconds to get from the bottom all the way to the top!

Explanation: They'll be prepared for any attack that could happen! It's crazy how fast the elevators travel!

Oscar's Reading Bucket List

13 Reasons Why - by Jay Asher: This book grasps my attention because of the fact that it leaves one wondering and pointing fingers, kind of like a detective looking for clues and reasoning. Whenever Ms. Gilmore was telling me about this book it just gave me the shivers, quite frankly it left me on the edge of my seat. This book is about a girl who committed suicide because of 13 people, but before doing this she made 13 videos of her telling them why she is committing suicide. Now, if that's not creepy I don't know what is. I have my mind set on reading this book one way or another, it just really catches my attention.

Lord of the Flies - by William Golding: Ms. Gilmore brought this book to my attention by describing it as something nasty. This book has survival all over it! I like reading books that are adventurous because of the energy going throughout, you never know what will jump out at you! She claims no one would want to read it, but Peter and I accepted that challenge. Not saying this book is bad, but that it has nasty things to say is what Ms. Gilmore had said.

The Lucky One - by Nickolas Sparks: Haley Clem, a fellow classmate of mine, had told me that this was a really good movie and she's working on the book as of now. She told me it was about a a guy who found a picture of a girl and was on a quest to travel around the world just to find her, talk about dedication! He later stumbles across the presence of her and that's all she had told me! It let me wanting to know more of what had happened after that!

Hoot - by Carl Hiaasen: I've seen this movie numerous times and I want to know if it's true what people say about the book always being better than the movie. To me it has always been, watch movie then read book, or it might even be never read the book! I really liked the movie I could watch it endless times! But Ms. Gilmore always says read the book before ever watching the movie.
