Barneys version blog

The story is written in the style of an autobiography of Barney Panofsky, and recounts his life in varying detail. At the end of the book he is diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease which explains his memory losses (corrected by his son Michael through the use of foot-notes), and his repeatedly reminding himself of the name of the utensil used to strain spaghetti. In the end Barney is right about the most questionable event in the book, that he did not murder Boogie. Mike learns it must have been a water bomber plane that picked up Boogie while he was swimming in the lake while Barney was asleep, and dropped the water on the mountain.

Passage 1: “I’ll bet the last book you read was your dick and jane reader, and your probably still trying to work out the plot. Where did you learn how to question a suspect? Watching Dragnet? Reading true detective? No, i would have known. Your lips would still be chapped”

This show a lot about Baney’s personality it shows he can be a jerk and he has a bit of an attitude.

Marley and Me Fan Letter

Marley And Me Fan letter

I really enjoyed the book Marley and Me. Dogs are my favorite animal so I liked how it showed the relationship between a man and his dog. Many people know the term that a dog is a mans best friend I thought this book really executed that well. I loved the part when Marley got afraid of the thunderstorm and completely demolished the whole garage. I also like how the dog was their for the good times and the bad times. Overall it was a great book and any one who loves dogs I would seriously suggest that you read this book.
