SHATTERED

Mac and Ian have many different differences.
Mac comes from a poor family and has to work for everything he wants, however Mac just devotes his time to the soup kitchen. Mac lives at the soup kitchen, he has very little personal belongings and its a small living space. Mac has put all his time for the homeless people; he cooks for them gives them smokes and basically watches over them.
Ian is completely different from that, he is a very rich guy, his parents give him everything and anything. Ever since Ian was a baby his parents are rarely home so the have a nanny/ housekeeper who always have been there for him. when Ian turns 16 and passes civics class he will get a car maybe a beamer or something. But for that to happen he has to finish the 40 hours of community service.

SHATTERED

picture form google.
My English class will be starting to read Shattered by: Eric Walters. My predictions for the book will be;

Just like any typical teenager hands everything for school late. Ian has a social studies project due and in order for him to get his credit for it he needs to do community services. Ian volunteers himself at "The Club" because he thinks its cool, turns out that "The Club" is a homeless soup kitchen. While going to his first shift he almost gets mugged, and he see this one man who pipe welds. The man had just returned form Rwanda as a peace keeper. I think that Ian will get his community services and pass the course with the help of the man, and he will be attached to the man. The man will have to return back to Rwanda and Ian will go with him. After awhile the man will get shot and Ian will be shattered, and when Ian returns home he will have a better opinion and view for his life. I think he will apperciate life, he will be able to think that life is better and be stronger.
