The book I'm reading is BULU:African Wonder Dog by Dick Houston. The genre is nonfiction journalism. I read from pages 1 to 75. the date of my conference is February 29th, 2016.
2. BULU:African Wonder Dog is a book about how a british couple moves from Oxford,United Kingdom to their dream home ,South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. The couple Anna ,and Steve were police officers ,but after many trips to countries all over Africa they realize they must live there. After, a few years of exploring the winding plains, Anna decides she wants a small companion ,a puppy. People told them a puppy could never survive out here. A litter of puppies was available at a nearby crocodile farm. When they got to the farm there was one left. Buyers said his snout was too long, and so were his legs for a Jack Russel Terrier,but Anna and Steve thought he was perfect. When Anna first got the puppy she had regrets. After some time though they realize, Bulu is a special dog in many ways.
3. Some key ideas presented in the text are how difficult it can be living in Luangwa, and how Bulu is learning about his surroundings. Living in Luangwa is exciting and adventurous as told from the book, but it doesn't bring many luxuries. At Anna and Steve’s house there is a huge mango tree, and sometimes unsuspecting creatures come by. One night there was a couple of hornbills in the mango tree, and Bulu was growling at them.

The text of BULU:African Wonder Dog is written in a Cyclical structure. At the beginning, Dick Houston tells his story about the time he met Anna, Steve, and Bulu. I predict that it will end with the beginning because he says that it takes place after the book. If this doesn't happen the text would be written in a sequential structure. In the book the events are placed like they would in a journal. It tells different time periods from months to days
