Summary from the beginning, before and after

The Time Cat is a story where Jason, a young kid discovers some special abilities of his cat Gareth, this cat was black with black fur, orange eyes and with the ability to time travel. When Jason discovers this ability, Gareth takes him to Egypt where the emperor of Egypt almost threw Jason to the crocodiles and kept Gareth as their muse but Jason agreed to let them make a fest for Gareth so they could leave after it. The places they visited next were England, Peru, The Isle of Man, Ireland, Japan, Italy, Germany and then Rome. At Rome Jason and Gareth were kidnapped by a small village but Jason talked their way out of there so they wouldn't be killed. 

Confusing Parts of the Text 

"When he hunched his shoulders and put down his ears, he looked like an owl." this part of the text confused me because owls are really different from cats. I figured out what it means by using my imagination, it means about the movements of the cat being similar to the owl's. "When he stretched, he looked like a trickle of oil" When I read this quote I thought it is nonsense. Later I understood that it looked like oil because it seemed like if he was melting. The parts of the text like these made the book interesting because it makes you think about. 

Concluding with the Conclusion 

Something I learned from this book is to keep your mind open with everyone and every time. Everyone could use this in the real world because when you keep your mind open you receive more opportunities. A thing that I learned from this book as well is to not break your promises. All the readers could use this in the real world because if you keep your promises then people will trust you and also like you. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to all teenagers that like adventures.

begin with a little remembering

     Jack Gantos lived in the USA when he was at school but he had to leave at his senior year with his family to live in Costa Rica. When they moved to Puerto Rico Jack couldn't go to school because he didn't knew spanish and they couldn't afford a private school so his parents decided to just make him work. He got a job n a hotel where they payed him well gave him a room to live and he was close to his parent's house, getting this job gave him the opportunity to save enough money to go back to school. Since the schools in Puerto Rico wouldn't accept him he had to move again to the US but this time with a foster family, which he helped by working in a market but they through him to the streets because he had a drinking issue. When he was kicked out of his foster home he took all his stuff and left to a cheap motel nearly, living in a motel really helped him because he started to become more responsible an decent.

     A text which I really like from the book is "the true test of a character is measured by how well a person makes decisions during difficult times". I really liked this part of the text because I think that it says something really wise and it gives you lots to thing. I think this is really smart because lots of persons break under the pressure of a situation and don't make wise decisions.  A text that confused me a lot is "All these old people come down here with prosthetic". I felt confused because I didn't understood how he could live there if everyone is old and have their prosthetic.  

                                           

I really enjoyed this part of the book because Jack tells where he is when he was writing the book and then he starts to tell the story of his life. Something really interesting about him doing that is that his life looks like it is gonna end different as how it finished. I learned that you need to think from someone else's point of view before doing stuff because your act's consequences can bother other people. I also learned that sometime you need to touch bottom to improve like Jack did. I am really excited of this book because I want to discover how he ended up in jail.
