Amazon Review Ruff Draft, Peer Comment, and Amazon Review Final Draft

Amazon Book Review

This book is amazing. It is a perfect inside look at the agency and is very thrilling. It truly portraits the way some presidents relished their power; as well as some embarrassing moment that created their international notoriety.  Its truly amazing how you can notice the dedication the author put into it to be able t get all the insights and really did exploit her sources for all the information.

In the book, you do really get to see how klutz some presidents have been, as well as the personable under the suit. It also lets the reader see the several plots that have taken place against the nation´s leader and other personnel under the agency´s detail. The author was also able to portrait the way and protocol that the agents need to thwart any kind of threat. It amazed me very much how hypervigilant an agent has to be on this job, but still how many dullards they have placed on the job.

The book is a true insight to how secluded the president is, few people know what actually happens behind the scenes, although many have a cursory. If you have a plan on acting on the president, read this book and think twice because the moment you don’t know, the secret service will pounce on you. Trust me, you don’t want that.

Mathias Kling suggestions:

Overall, Tomas did a very good job. It is clear he put some time into his work and was done with excellent quality. My advice to him in his vocab work is nothing. It is very well done, although he might want to consider choosing different words in the sentences wjere he needs to replace the vocab words. In his amazon review, I really liked it. I think he had to play with the words until they really did fit in. What I advice for the review is to give a final concrete opinion about the book, and then it will be perfect.

Overall, the author did a very good job with investigation for this book. The division into chaprters and their tittles is very cleverly done. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes police and military stories and facts. It does include a lot of protocol explanation, which I like, but most people don’t. The only flaw with this book would be the plot. I would organize the chapters differently, to keep the reader on course of each president and protocol explanation. Rating: 4/5 stars.

Portfolio Journal

If I were to look at my protfolio as a stranger, I would get some imideate opinions about Tomas Urrutia. First of all, I would think of him as a sort of serious but kind and fin person to be with.

It has an introduction which tells us about Tomas, which would also leave an important first opinion. I think he is fun and clearly likes dogs and tennis. The potrfolio would also say he likes sports and being outdoor.

School Idea Script

- Have you ever considered why schools are like they are?
- Why they function so strictly but work?
- Have you ever considered, what if all was different?

With our new school, you wont imagine it, you will live it.

We are getting rid of the old, and bringing the new.

Our generation needs to talk, one word at a time.


Because with out idea, you will learn your idea. Teach it to others, and create a whole new type of learning. Finish with the stress schools bring daily, finish with the bells, learn at your pace, and compete with your level.

School Idea (ALL SCHOOL WORK)

1. Peer Questions and Answers.
- How will you organize the bell system in a different way, what would you use?
   A system in which each student goes to the class they want until the class fills up and leaves when the teacher finishes, not when time finishes.
- How will you be able to choose freely whether to go or not?
  A system for signing up. It would be via skype with a cam in the class you are taking.

2. Needs it will Meet.

What a school needs is for the people that attend to learn. For example, CNG´s mission is to prepare tomorrows leaders. Our school would basically follow that goal and make the best of people for tomorrow´s world. this through different courses like economics, english(and other languages), mathematics, world history and cultural classes such as ethics.

3. Motivation for parents, teachers, staff

The enviroment of everything being on a tight schedule would change big time. Practically everyone would choose when to go to school, but still learn everything needed. It would help not intervine with family matters and such events on a regular school day.

4. School main ideas:

- To change the factorization mode

- To prepare tomorrow´s leaders

Improve Work Journal

The piece of writing that I think and want to improve is the written part of my science "Battle of the Beverages" project. I think I could improve this piece by making it more reader friendly, relaxing the mood and tone to attract the reader even more. When I wrote it, I feel that I didnt comunicate very nicely to the reader and maybe set a stressful piece or part in to the influence part of the written part.

This peculiar passion can be reflected in my portfolio as my outside school sport or activity.
