CYOA

Reading CYOA books are alot more interesting to read then just regular books. I enjoyed them more because intsead of reading what the author wants you to read, you can put your own personallity into it. At some points the CYOA we read in class was really confusing but the more I read, the more it made sense to me. I would choose a CYOA book over a regular book anyday.

This blog was written and set up so it was easy to read. It was seemed like it was made for the soldiers and ways to help the soldiers. There was many different ways anyone could help them out. One of them was called "Any Soldier." It was a trying to get people to support the soldiers. He was trying to get people to send gifts, letters, anything that the soldiers dont get from family and friends. By doing this, it gives support to those who need it.
