DeleteGeorge is a adventurous kid. He knew the titanic like he knew he house for example, it says in the book he knew the titanic head to toe. He even knew the creator of the titanic. They said it was unsinkable. But until one night the ship hit a iceberg. Then six of the boiler rooms busted open with water. The ship could still go with four boiler rooms busted but six had busted. Like I said he knew the ship head to toe. He took the escape ladder to get the main deck. Then he almost got on a boat until they ran out. So he had to jump of the titanic and swim to a boat. When they got to the boat they waited six hours for a boat to get to them. Then finally they got to New York safely.

The Nazi troops are coming and it is up to Peter and his friends to sled 9 million dollars (or 13 bullion) down the Snake to Peter's Uncle Victor's boat.

The plan is to sled the money, dig a hole, and put a snow man over the hole for Uncle Victor to dig up and, put on his boat and take the money to america. The only problem is that the waters are bombed who knows where, and that is one thing that could stop them (besides the Nazis).

ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Blackmon,
ReplyDeleteThe book I read is called I SURVIVED The Sinking of The Titanic. It's about a kid named George Calder who rides the biggest machine ever built.The Titanic. Then something very unexpected happens. The Titanic hits an iceberg!!! Then the Titanic starts to sink. Water keeps gushing in the Titanic. The Titanic is going down and down and down into the water.Now George is in the the freezing cold water. Then gets in a lifeboat. Then the Carpathia comes. George is saved!!! Now George is safe and returns to New York City.
George is a nice kid for example he never calls his sister names, but George needs to listen to his aunt like when she said not to get in trouble he got in trouble. The setting takes place on the titanic the peaceful place but they call it the unsinkable ship the reason the unsinkable ship is because the guy who built it said that it was unsinkable. The problem was that the ship sank at 2:00 a.m. so the ship had boats but not all of the people made it. There were 1,500 people that died on the ship. Luckily George and his friends made it to New York safely.
