I chose the book Serpent’s Shadow by Rick Riordan for my IR summative because I thought a book that includes action, drama, and mythology all in one would be really exciting. Since I don’t see books with Egyptian mythology very often, I thought getting to know a little bit of it would be fun while reading a good story. This book was packed with action and had a good twist of drama and mythology to it. The story was very entertaining because the author is really good at describing what was going on and using really good cliffhangers, so that the reader would keep reading the book..…

Bomb My book was on the race to build and steal the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was being created in the U.S and they took some of the smartest people to try to help build it because they were trying to split atoms. It played probably the biggest role in world war 2 because if they had not gotten the 2 bombs made in time the Japanese could have ended up winning the war but instead they got it finished and they dropped them on japan. Maybe the person who played the biggest part in the building of the bomb was Harry Gold a professor for the University Of California who was very smart although one night when he was on a date with a girl he said he needed to take a walk and he never returned.…
