Scorch Trial done. Eleanor Roosevelt??

        So yes, I have finished The Scorch Trials, and after my new book, I will start The Death Cure. The Scorch Trials was an amazing book, and I recommend it to all, as long as you read the first book. I have done a Book Talk on The Scorch Trials that you can check out under the page, My Projects. The book that I have started is a nonfiction book about Eleanor Roosevelt. It is by Lucile Davis. Although it isn't very long, it has amazing details and information. I have not finished it yet, but I have read enough to know that Eleanor was an amazing person, that helps other out of the kindness of her heart.

       So far I have learned that Eleanor was a shy child who was favorited by her father. Her father was a man who loved to help the poor and sometimes brought Eleanor along to learn the ways of helpfulness. Helping made Eleanor feel helpful, and useful. At the age of 8, her mother died. Even worse, 2 years later her father died. She was sent to live with her grandmother. At the age of 15, Eleanor went to England to go to a school called, Allenswood. At the age of 18, Eleanor went to New York and continued helping others. Believe it or not, Eleanor and (future husband/president) Franklin were distant cousins. They saw each other at parties, and later started to date. In 1901, Eleanor and Franklin got married. Even though this is all I read, I still need more information to do my last project.
