The Boxcar children: Book
08/26/18 Summer reading
Today I want to talk about the book that I have been reading called, “ The Boxcar Children: The Detour of the Elephants”. When I first read this book I thought that it would be placed in Africa. However, I didn’t look very closely and notice bamboo near the elephants. That meant that it must’ve have been somewhere in Asia. After realizing that was all the information I could gather from the front cover and I immediately dived right into the first chapter. So basically, the Boxcar children are a group of kids who have started to work with an organization that returns missing artifacts into their original owner or place (could be a house, museum, etc). I used to the read the first Boxcar Children books when they didn’t even have a house and the pictures on the front cover looked like sketches.
Apparently, there are a group of people called the “Argents” that always try to stop the Boxcar children from delivering the artifact. The Argents’s goal is to always steal the artifact from themselves and potentially sell it for real cash (that’s what I think they would do with it). In this book the Boxcar children have an old Chinese artifact that resembles a sort of Chess Piece. Their job is to return this artifact to “Dr. Zhang” and then leave off without a trace. Along the way the Argents try to steal the artifact but one of the group members (0f the children) had a smart idea for everyone to carry bags so when the argents came they wouldn’t know which one to steal. And it just so happened that while they were heading up the Great Wall of China one of the Argents took the wrong bag.
That is as far as I have gone in the book and there is still another half to it but right now I want to talk about my Playstation Four situation. Now my father claimed to have thrown my console and controllers in the garbage because I stayed 4 minutes past my bedtime. There is a very tiny part of my brain that thinks he’s lying but I highly doubt that. He said he was happy to see me go outside with my mother to New York and spend time with everyone. I can’t help but feeling said that the one form of communication I have to play with my friends from school is gone but I have to admit it’s brought some positive changes to my life (as of right now). I just wanted to let my dad know if he’s listening to me reading this or is doing it himself that we could always just sell the games that I have in the suitcase to Gamestop and make some cash off of that. I was actually planning on doing that right now but since it’s locked I can’t. Anyway, until next time.
