Dogs Don't tell Jokes

One of the best books that I read this year would be Dogs Don?t tell Jokes by Louis Sachar. This book was my favorite because it had a lot of different types of conflict. One is when Gary first found out about the talent show. He was having a really hard time to find out who he could sign up with. Then he just kept asking the kids at his school if they knew how to sign up. Then he finally comes to this girl named Brenda and she said, that he could sign up with his teacher. Finally he goes to his teacher and said to put his name on the list for the talent show. She said that he was the first one to sign up. That is just one of the reasons why this book is my favorite. Another reasons why this book is my favorite is when his parents told him that they would give him one hundred dollars if he would stop telling his jokes. He had to stop telling them until the talent show which was four weeks away. They said, that they were getting tired of hearing the same jokes over and over. They also said, that if he keeps telling them that people would have already heard them and they wouldn?t won?t to hear them again. His dad told him that today he repeated one of his jokes to one of customers. Gary said, that he would do it. he wouldn?t won?t say any more until the talent show. Then my favorite one is when he?s at the talent Show. When he comes out, he had a suit and a hat that was tight on his head. He had this thing that made his hair look like he had shaved it. then in one part of his act he wrapped a bath towel around him. He said, that the soap that he used is what made him bold. Then he starts off telling more of his jokes. He still has on the bath towel. Then he would start talking about the soap again. Then he would start talking about something else. He would just keep going back and fourth from one thing to another. He would never finish one of his jokes. That is why I think that you should read the book to find out the rest.

The most exceptional thing about this book is...

The very last scene.

Personally, reading some of the reviews here, I fear for the brains of America's youth. I read this book in elementary school and I am now a sophomore in college (studying English Literature), and I still count this book to be one of the best books I read as a kid. I still read it and love it. The jokes are "corny"? Sorry, kiddies, did you miss the point? They're SUPPOSED to be! That's Gary's problem (and the fact that he hides behind them, constantly, so that he doesn't have to face reality.)

But as I was saying - the last scene is absolutely amazing and heartbreaking. It cemented my absolute love for Gary Boone as a literary character for all time.

Dogs Dont Tell Jokes

The story is about Gary Boone, his dream was to become a famous stand-up comedian. In school he didnt make any friends because he told too many known jokes that were annoying to people except for Angeline. In the Meanwhile, the school was applying a talent show because it was Floyd Hicks birthday. Gay decides he should go in the talent show because he wanted a hundred dollars(first place was a hundred dollars). Then he starts practicing for his big day nonstop, but his dad didnt want him to tell jokes anymore and wants him to be just himself, and will offer him one hundred dollars for stopping the silly jokes. Who knows what will happen to him in the future.

I really liked the book because sometimes in the book it makes you laugh. No one really liked his jokes except Angeline. Gary is falling in love with Angeline because she was the only one interested in Gary's jokes. So, I want to know what happens to them later in the book so it will let me keep on reading. Also, he didnt want to fail his dream to be a stand-up comedian so he will let no one get in his way. Basically, the whole story is based on if Gary will become a stand-up comedian or not.

My favorite part in the book was Gary fell in love with Angeline. It is my favorite part was a sixth grader falling in love with a 10 year old girl.When they were both finally trusting each other and starting to fall in love.... Then the scholl signed her up for this really nerdy school which was a really sad moment for me. When Angeline came back Gary was shocked why she didnt go to school and came here. Angeline told Gary that Angeline could stay at Gary's house during the weekend which that was the happy moment in this book.
