Boy's Best Friend

11-year-old Gr 4-7-Lester moved from Denver to Cape Cod, where he met George. The two boys were accompanied by their beloved dog Bill Gates and Bart. For homework, boys have experimented to determine if they and their dog showed a telepathic link. The story is supplemented by e - mail communication between George and the real biologist Rupert Sheldock, alternating Leicester and George 's views. E-mail is usually felt like a dump of information, but interestingly, communication is not always reliable. Lester and George's friendship is refreshing, natural and organic. However, too many "problems of big life" are depressing the story. For example, one of the characters experienced and coped with the way of loss and sorrow. The reader never knows these dogs, and as a "boy's best friend" this relationship feels empty. The real value here is in the discussion of scientific methods in this book. Important definitions apply not only to the story but also to two boys considering prejudice, honesty, and statistical significance. The possibility of exploring scientific theory using this fictitious title is powerful and interesting. In the classroom, you can use the juvenile survey record (behind the book) to further analyze the data and create your own experiments.

But this story is different. This boy is my best friend, I am him. This kind of love is not enough to keep him alive and fight the frustration he endured. My best friend started his life at the age of 17. It is a confusing story, but it is important to share it with others, shout on the bridge, share hot tea with friends, and shed tears. I hope that by sharing my story I can increase my awareness about depression and suicide. Through frank discussion and education, I hope the young people start getting help worthy of them. It is a kind of help deserving my best friend.
