Snakehead is a book written by Anthony Horowitz. It is the sixth book in a series of seven. In the series the main character Alex Rider the teenage James Bond as some would say. Is recruited by MI6 and saves the world. Although Alex doesn’t like his he is very good at it and keeps on getting tricked into working for MI6 the CIA and ASIS. The morale of the story basically is you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
For example what Alex is putting his mind to is saving the world. Since he believes in himself he does a good job at it and if you put your mind to being a good athlete you will become a good athlete if you work hard at it by let’s say practicing extra long and hard, working out, or you could even watch the pros of a certain sport and try to say what they do right and wrong. It’s the same thing If you want to do good in school to get better grades you can do extra work like practice problems, study for tests, and ask teachers for help.
Another example is in the book Alex is determined to find more out about his family because he doesn’t know much about them. So he took an assignment just to try to get to know his godfather Ash. It’s the same as in a more common situation of you have a that you barely see and don’t know much about and they invite you and your immediate family for dinner and since you don’t know them very much and want to get to know them, but you don’t want to go you go anyways just so you get to know them better. Just like Alex did he didn’t want to go on the mission but he did anyways just to meet and get to know his godfather better.
Like I said before and the author is trying to express throughout the series if you put your mind to it you can do anything. You could become a lawyer, a basketball player and maybe you could even save the world like Alex.

What Will the World be like in a Hundred Years?
In a hundred years I think that in a hundred years everybody will drive in flying cars that run on electricity. And houses will be made of metal. I also think that in a hundred years inflation will be so bad that something like a candy bar will cost about fifty dollars. Another thing is that I think that since people will be using flying cars I think that the speed limits will be increased to about 130 miles an hour.
the big game
The super bowl is the NFL’s Championship game. The best teams of that year play in it. They play on the grandest stage some say. It’s what they work so hard for every year. Everyone’s number one goal is to make it to the super bowl and once you get there your goal is to win the super bowl. Another thing that’s special to the super bowl that other championships don’t have is super funny commercials. When your team is in the super bowl like the Packers are this year you won’t stop hearing stuff about your team until a couple weeks after the super bowl. It will really start to annoy you. It’s really fun to watch the super bowl and as baseball great
Reggie Jackson once said,” The only thing I don’t like about playing on the big stage is you cant watch yourself play”

snow days
Snow days are the best days in winter because I can invite my friends over to my house and we can go sledding. Or once the plow comes we can build tunnels in the snow banks they make. Like last time when I made a tunnel It was so big that we could climb through it. My goal is o make a hole next snow day that we can sled through. To make a hole all you need to do is grab a shovel or anything that will help you dig and start on one side of the bank and then start on one side of the snow bank and dig all the way to the other side. Once you have it made make it wide enough to the size that you can crawl through it.
