The Walking Dead Volume 1 by Robert Kirkman brings hope to the last survivors!!!


The Walking Dead Volume 1 by Robert Kirkman. Image Comics, 2006.

Rick grimes the main character was just a regular country cop until one call changed his entire life one shot from a crook sent him into a coma. Next thing he knows the dead are walking around!!! Join him as he tries to survive and put his life back together.

“I have fallen in love with The Walking Dead”                                                              - comicbookrevolution.net

I have not read any other of Robert Kirkman’s works but his writing style is third person. He writes in a way that leaves you at suspense and then does something unexpected. His style is also very action packed and exciting. He also shows conflict between different characters but also shows how they are all bound by one cause.
                                                 
A quote from the book is “rick, officer rick grimes at your service” (17).

In my childhood I always didn’t fully get along with my brother. We had many fights all the time. But in the end we always made up and realized there really wasn’t any reason to fight. I think this relates to the characters in the book because they fight sometimes but in the end they realize that surviving is a lot more important than that.

I give the walking dead volume 1 a 5 paw rating devour it.

Summer reading essay
katniss-catching fire
percy-percy jackson and the lightning thief

5...4...3...2...1...0 percy started sprinting for a backpack a guy ran towards him with a sword in his hand the person swung at percy. he quickly ducked in response then twisted his arm and took the sword and the backpack and ran down the hill into the woods.he sprinted as fast as he could from the cornucopia in the middle of the arena. it was a bloodbath in there 8 people ran into the cornucopia only 2 came out one with a slice in the arm. finally percy found a small clearing so that he could stop and take a rest. he sat down and opened the backpack to look at the contents he found a thermos filled with cold water, a piece of bread, some rope, a winter jacket, and some pain reliever cream. he took a small rest and then started jogging in the same direction he was before after about 2 minutes he sat down and settled down in a tree. he decided to take a rest for a little while as he was sitting and catching his breath he heard something coming from his right he stiffened up and tried to be silent it was katniss. he was praying that she would not look in the tree but she was a very observent person and he could easily get caught he slowly breathed she quickly turned her head towards him and as soon as percy saw her turn her head he jumped off the tree and ran towards a small pool and dived into the pool to try and hide from katniss. he remained completely still until katniss passed by then he slowly got out of the water. but little did he know katniss was actually hiding behind a tree. she popped out shot him in the face with a bow and he died?
