The book I just finished reading is called Hoot. This book has a lot of great lessons that you apply to your life. The main character name is Roy and he had just moved from Montana to the Florida everglades. Roy has deal with a lot of problems especially with there school Bully. There school bully’s name is Dana Matherson and he bullies Roy on the bus. Dana gets punched in the nose by Roy because Dana was suffocating Roy. Roy also gets kicked of the bus because he supposedly was “bullying” Dana even though the assistant principal saw Dana thumb marks on Roy’s neck. Roy wants to save the owls but he can’t do anything about it because the company will not believe him. Roy also wants to get Mullet Fingers help in the hospital because he got bit by a dog, but Mullet Fingers parents didn’t want to help him. Mullet finger tries to use Vandalism to scare out Mother Paula’s Pancake Company. The story was really about standing up for what you believe is right. Beatrice, Roy Mullet fingers and their classmates believes that killing the owls was wrong and that they had to stop that. The actor that played Mother Paula took a stand against Mother Paula’s Pancake Company because she knew that killing the owl was wrong.  She also thought that it would give her better ratings for her next movie where she is queen of the Mutant Grasshoppers. There teacher also encourages kids to join the protest against Mother Paula’s Pancake Company which ends up working out in the end. I think the author was trying to teach me to stand up for my rights and other people’s rights. Roy had to stand up against Dana and to stand up for the owls. Throughout the book I realized that it is important to stand up for what is right.

When I was reading this book the main theme was to stand up for what you believe in. A place I saw this theme was when Roy stood up Dana. He knew that what he was doing was wrong and he knew that he had to stand up to him. All of the other kids told him to just let Dana do what he does but Roy wanted to stand up for himself even though he ended up almost getting suffocated and he got banned from the bus. Beatrice also helped Roy gain courage to stand up to people

Another way that I saw this theme was when Roy, Beatrice and Mullet Fingers went to the grand opening of the Pancake and tried to prove them wrong. The stood up for what they believed in and than Kimberly made a promise (as mother Paula) to donate the land as an owl reserve. Curly is an example not to do he just went along with the crowd and his boss and didn’t try to save the owls. There teacher also encourages kids to join the protest against Mother Paula’s Pancake Company which ends up working out in the end. I think the author was trying to teach me to stand up for my rights and other people’s rights. Roy had to stand up for the owls. Beatrice tries many times to alert the Pancake house of what they are doing and that they need to stop but they just keep getting back form letters.

I think that this book’s theme which was to stand up for what you believe in even when people don’t agree with you is a great theme because you can really apply it to you life. I think that this was an amazing book and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. I think that the book was better because I am not a big fan of the movie. In conclusion, I think if you were looking for a funny book with a great theme this is the book for you.
