I am writing a book called "Woe" . Here is a preview.
Paulson Solon was a famous author that wrote the book “See the Light” and the Famous: Lame series. As he was typing the last book, he was talking to his manager. “Paulson, it is not safe to go on vacation when you have typed you’re most successful series. What about if you die or lose the case that holds the book? ” said Francis. “It’ll be fine.” said Paulson. “I don’t think so. You know I suffer paranoia. ” She then hung up. “Uggh, I hate it when she does that. I don’t get to say my opinion. ” said Paulson. He then finished the book and packed up his masterpiece to get in his car and leave.
While he was driving, he heard a noise in the back of the car. He stopped and looked back there. Nothing was there. He then went back to driving and a raccoon popped out of the back and scratched his face, making him go off the road. The car then caught on fire. Paulson was on fire and fell out of his still moving car. Good thing it was snowing, or else he would have burnt to death. He had then been saved by a paramedic that was off duty. “Mr. Solon! ” “What.. wait… where am I, who are you, what year is it.” “You were face down in the snow, you are at my house, I am Clenen Tune, and it is 1953.”
Here is my book report. It is about Gandhi.
Gandhi : Great Soul
Written by John B. Severance
The book I read was about a man named Gandhi. Gandhi was known for being a pacifist . Gandhi was born a Mohandas K. Gandhi on October 2 , 1869 in Porbandor . Porbandor is on the coast of the Arabian sea is famous for having Gandhi born there .But the Queen of England/Ireland wasn’t the happiest fellow on the block .She thought that they should an empress as their leader .So 12 years before Mohandas was born ,she had gained all political control of India and earned the title “Empress of India ’’.
Gandhi had a older brother named Laxmidas .They were really great friends .They would play with each other as boys . They both went to spiritual school .They loved it there .When Mohandas had to go to high school ,he didn’t want to leave .At the spiritual school ,they learned lots of Hinduism there .Gandhi was the smartest fellow there .He had memorized a poem called “Bhagavad-Gita ’’ or Song of the Lord .It is a very long poem and Gandhi had memorized it all .
Gandhi’s family had moved to Rajkot and he started to attend Alfred High School. Once again ,he was smart as no one could be .He was a straight A student .Back then, they didn’t have middle school ,so when you turned 12 ,you went to high school .When he was 13 ,he got married to Kasturba .She was 14 and attending the same high school ,too. You are probably thinking that that is sick ,being married at age 13 & 14 .Marriages at this age aren’t though .3 years after his marriage ,his dad became very ill ,so Mohandas had to take care of him. One night ,he thought that he needed a break .He called his uncle ,who lived 30 miles by foot ONLY!!! His uncle couldn’t make it and his dad died .He said “The night my dad died ,I knew something was wrong. To this day, I still regret it .’’
While he was in Rajkot, Gandhi had started to study law. He decided to become a lawyer. He had many successes in his cases. When he graduated, he went to Africa to solve a case and when he went, he had seen horrible things, such as slaves. He had won the case and decided to stay in Africa. Why? To help other pacifists stop racism and slavery.
After a few months in Africa, he came back to Kasturba to find he had to help her raise 5 children. They had a baby, 2 5 year-olds, and a 7 year-old. He had to stay in Porbandor to make sure that the children were healthy and all of that.
After staying home, he had gone to WWI and helped to try to be victorious. In his autobiography, he said, “While in WWI, I had many more brothers than I had ever. While being with them, I had felt stronger than I ever have. People said that I couldn’t persuade any body to think what I think, but with them, I was at my full power.” When he came home, he was happy he had made the right decision.
After a while, he had gone back to law in Porbandor and had become a great lawyer. He had won over 100 cases and become very poor, though. So he decided to become a pacifist. He made public speeches about that they needed to stop slavery and stop racism and things like that. During the 1930’s, that was all he did. He basically just went to many different countries to tell them to stop slavery and racism.
When he had gone back to his hometown, he had been arrested with his wife and many other pacifists. They had offended many people that had owned slaves and that they had been “touchy’’ to them.
In 1942, Gandhi’s wife, Kasturba, and his secretary died. Gandhi had become depressed and suffered malaria. He had then decided to put his children up for adoption. After that, he had gone away to a treatment center for depression. When he came out of the treatment, he had decided to make a public speech about slavery and racism. While he was walking up to the podium, he was shot in the head. As an old Hindu tradition, he was cremated and his ashes were given to his oldest son. To this day, we remember his great life and spirit to teach us many lessons.
