The
book I am reading is called Millions by Frank
Cottrell Boyce. I just started it and so far I am really enjoying it.The main
character Damion has just moved into a new home. On Damion first day of school
his father tells him that the people at the school are looking for who stands
out, the excellent ones. So Damion goes to school and in art class
the teacher asks who the kids admire most of the kids say their favorite sports
teams and movie stars. But Damion raises his hand, looking for a chance to be
excellent and tells his teacher about St. Roch. The man who didn't speak
for the last 10 years of his life. It says on the back of the book that Damion
finds a million pounds in cash. But I am going to predict that he is going to
try and be excellent with the money. Like try to be like one of the saints that
he always talks about. I think this because Damion is always trying to be like
a saint. For example he would walk without his shoes on a gravel pathway and he
would sleep on the floor. He did it because it actually makes you stronger, its
called mortification. I think that if Damion wants to be like a saint that much
then with a million pounds he is obviously going to do something saint-like. My other prediction is that he will most likely donate it to charity or help somebody in need. This is because since he is so facinated by saints, why doesn't he do something to make himself just like one.
