Cool places

There are a lot of cool places in America. There're mountains, beaches, forests, and national monuments. But there's one place more than anything that I'd want to travel in America, a place I'm going this weekend. I want to, and can't wait to, travel to Las Vegas. Not for the slots, the gambling, or the other adult things, but for the amazing shows.
Las Vegas up all night long. There're pleanty shows and shops and resturants you could go to. Chris angel, a famous magician does shows there. Chris Angel is amazing, he makes his tricks look real and he's extremely attractive. It's like a double show. You're entertained by his magic tricks and you get to watch him be all attractive. I hear he's also extremely nice, it's not just an act. I'd say above anyone, That man would be my famous person crush.
Las Vegas also has a bunch of plays. The one we're going to see is Phantom of the Opera. Phantom of the opera is centered around a girl and two men. One of the men had a birth defect so his face is all messed up. The girl is a beautiful opera singer and the other man is her fiance. The "Phantom" Is jealous of her Fiance and plans on taking her for his own. It's said to be best played in Las Vegas.

Into the Wild

The book, "Into the wild" by Chris McCandless is about a man who decides to do something with his life. He wants to explore, sight see, and live off his instincts. He decides to climb all the way up to the top of a mountain. The book starts by finding his body in an abandoned bus and they use his journal and his pictures to tell the story of this brave man's life. He lived about 119 days until finally dying due to what they believe to be poison. They think he attempted to eat the seed of a plant called a "Eskimo potato" which has alkaloid which is very poisonous. Soon after he died, leaving nothing but a journal and a few pictures to depict his adventure. 


I don't think I'll like this book very much. though it sounds interesting, I'm not really into these types of books. Our last book, I think, is going to be my favorite book of the year. Though I don't really believe I'm going to like it, I'll keep an open mind. Who knows? It could end up being my favorite book of all time.
