Marley and Me

For my outside reading book for quarter three, Im reading a book called Marley and Me by John Grogan. Its different from the other books I have read this year because the other books were something about a girl and her family struggling with a big struggle in life like school or poverty. The reason Marley and Me is so different is because it is about a man named John and his life and experience with his best and worst friend, a dog named Marley. They face struggles very different from the ones in the girls' lives like for example, Marleys attachment issues in his new home. John had to stay up very late the first few nights Marley came home because he would not go to sleep. John's wife, Jenny, also had some troubles with Marley. Because she and John both worked at a newspaper, they had a hard time trying to figure out what to do with their new puppy during the day. She sometimes would have to come home to look over him and let him out. The Grogans realized soon after their new purchase that having a bouncing lab puppy wasnt going to be as easy as they would have thought. Im excited to see what happens next with John, Jenny, and Marley in the book, Marley and Me.
