Title: Water For Elephants
Author: Sara Gruen
Summary: At this point in my book the main characters name is Jacob and he has hoped on a moving train. On the train he is rudely introduced to a couple of mangey men. The men are part of a circus crew. Jacob used to be involved with Vet school, so he volunteered to help. Of course, the new comers always get bad jobs. Jacob began shoveling poop, then he got to direct customers, then watch a interesting lady perform and keep the crowd calm, and lastly he now examines the animals. Jacob immediately had to put a star performing horse out of its misery due to a hoof injury. He has noticed some of the people in the circus business don't care about the animals health and are selfish. Jacob has a couple of friends he sleeps by on the smelly train. He is constantly wondering why aren't elephants in this circus.
reflection: So far this book is very interesting and I am always anxious to see his next task. I look forward to seeing how Jacob sprouts and enjoys the circus for his second time. He seems like a smart man, even though he is poor.
