The purpose of this blog is to log while I read From Baghdad, With Love, which is a book in the Read for a Lifetime Program. I'll be responding to prompts given in my English class as I read. The book is a true story about a dog, Lava, rescued by a group of Marines while they're at war. As they raise the puppy, it teaches them lessons about life and death and gives them a way to forget about the horror around them. They face challenges as they try to raise a pet while fighting in a war torn country. I chose the book because I love animals, specifically dogs, and the book has an inspirational message.
For blog prompts, I think we should have an entry dedicated to a character who stands out to us. We could also blog about something in the books that we can relate to, or something that made us think or gave us a different perspective on something.
