1st summer

For my summer reading project I am reading the book Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi. Ship Breaker is about a young boy names Nailer, who is a metal scrapper.  What a metal scrapper does is they go around and take copper wire off ships just to meet a quota. This book takes place in the Gulf Cost of America. You might be thinking ‘Well what does is a poor metal scrapper gunna go to save the day’?   

My first prediction was that he was going to become rich and help is family out of poverty. Then I learned about is abusive dad. I rethought what I thought was going to happen and I came the conclusion that he is going to help someone somehow. Other books that are like this book are mainly any other dystopian placed books. It kind of reminded me of divergent in a way that he is just trying to survive in the life that he was put into. He didn’t choose to be a metal scrapper and just try and get by, he was born into that role and his abusive family. Also in divergent, Four or Tobias Eaton’s father abused him and he became a big role in the book.
