bourne betrayl

ive gotten much further since my last post and im near the end of the book now. im not sure the page number and i dont wanna go look but its near the end. What is happening now is that jason discovered that he had killed Fadi's, the leader of the terrorist group, sister, making him and his brother karim extremely angry and now know that this is part of the reason they want to kill him so badly. While jason is in odessa, after being stabbed and narrowly escapin Fadi, he learns that he must go to istanbul to find a man he believes he is Fadi's right hand man. while there talking to the man in disguise, he is unaware that the man knows his true identity and that he wants him to overhear a conversation he has with his friend about how he is going to return to Fadi. He wants him to hear the conversation because Fadi wants bourne to follow the man and to lead bourne right back to him so that he can kill him. This plan backfires because bourne meets up with the saudi secret police who he knows and they have been secretly watching Fadi's hideout. Fadi's plan backfired because bourne made contact with some prisoners and got them to make a diversion so that he could enter the complex and that is where i stopped reading but i look forward to readin more soon.

character compare

The two characters i chose to compare are codi and hallie. Even thought they are sisters and are very close, they are still quite different. codi is often depressed and never feels at home where as hallie can feel at home anywhere. i think what really made them so different is the fact that she lost her mother first and then later when she was a teenager, she lost her baby; while hallie has never lost anything like that before. codi feels that she needs to keep moving because the place where she does not feel like her home and she thinks the next place she moves to may feel like home to her. hallie is an extremely giving and sympathetic person; examples of this are her trip to nicaragua that she isnt gettin paid for and her letting refugees stay in their home because they were homeless at the time. hallie is also more independent than codi. codi has insomnia and thinks she needs someone next to her to be able to get to sleep, and says it feels weird being on her own and that she does not like it. loyd also gives us a good idea of what is wrong with codi when he talks to her about how she is going around looking for life when she should not be looking for it but just living it. Codi also thinks she knows what her problem is when she says the difference between her and hallie is a matter of ground orientation. Loyd seems to want to help codi feel at home but im not sure he can cause i havent finished the book

bourne betrayl

a book that im reading currently is the bourne betrayl, and i have to say, its pretty dope. its about a plot to nuke washington dc and a leader of a terrorist group called doujja and their leader who seems to be uncathchable, even when they had him unknowingly trapped in a CIA prison cell. it involves black ops agent jason bourne, and a plot by the CI leader to kill him after he had done his bidding; which was to go rescue his good friend and leader of a secret CIA program called typhon, martin lindros. Little did he know at the time that they had switched out the real martin lindors with a fake that is a spy for the terrorists. And on top of all this jason is having trouble remembering certain memories of his life, especially a mission he was on in odessa to kill a man related to some terrorists. the part he cant remember is killing an innocent girl and carrying her body through the city. this book wasnt written by the original writer of the the bourne books, but it is still good regardless.The main point of this novel would be to not give up and not everyone is immune to deception. The author proves this when, even though he is badly injured, bourne still must fight against an assassain who has cornered him in a bathroom. this is also proved when bourne finds out that his best friend really isnt his best friend at all, but a spy from a terrorist cell that has a plot to nuke DC.

Adjective

I am athletic. I literally have a sport or some kin of training going on year round and am always trying to get better at all the sports that i play. every summer i always do some hockey camps along with playing on my baseball team. for me, sports aren't only fun to play, but being part of the team is also part of the fun and is a great way to meet new people and make new friends. you can also learn some lessons from playing sports, like perserverence, hard work and many others; so i think that people should be involved with as many athletic events as possible because it is a great way to be involved, meet new people, and have lots of fun doing it.
