Literacy Blog #7


The new book I am reading My Year with Eleanor by Noelle Hancock. This book reminds me of the television show called “Fear Factor”. The two are similar by how the book and television show both are based on people’s fears. My Year with Eleanor is about a Woman who lives in New York and gets lade of her job as a blogger. When she is in a coffee shop she sees on quote by Eleanor Roosevelt "Do one thing every day that scares you". So the year before her thirtieth birthday she does something that scares her every day for a year. This book talks about her conquering her fears just like “Fear Factors” does with each round you do a series of challenges but at the end of it you can win lots of money. The difference between the book and the movie is that the woman Noelle in the book is doing this for a year and the show is only for a couple of days. Another difference is that the book is talking about how this is affecting the woman’s live and how she learns and gets stronger by doing this. The show is about just about how the people doing the challenges  and how they react and what the challenges consist of. Also another difference is how Noelle choses what she will face and sometime it choses her these fears are meant for her to become less afraid and “Fear Factor” is when the challenges are not chosen by the contestant  and they might not be afraid  of the challenge like others.

New Book!


       I finished the Book Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children. So now I am reading the book My Years with Eleanor. It's been I really good book so far!

How Can Google Docs Help You?


Google docs can help me by how I find it is an easier way to communicate if there is group project. We can all work on it with your partners. It is very advanced and seems easier to use. You can use charts, graphs, and communicate as if you were right beside each other. By emailing you send it to your partners and they change something then you have to make a new document with it all changes and then you repeat it gets very frustrating and unorganized. You can also spend lots of money on other programs but with Goggle Docs it is free! With Google Docs it’s very organized and there is only one document and by sending emails it gets very unorganized fast. You can keep your data as long as you what. Your documents are saved online so they are not saved on your computer so you can be anywhere and have your documents with you if you are connected to the internet. You can share with anyone. When you first make your account you are the only on that haves your document then you can share it with others and the world.
