Title: Phines Gage                                                                                                                                          

Genre: non fiction

 

            Phines Gage lived in 1848 and he was a rail road worker and had a horrible head injury that changed that knowledge of the brains.  When Phines was working with explosives he had a accident happen that put a whole throw his head.  Despite his horrible accident he had a complete recovery.   Phines Gage traveled the world and had many jobs.  His case with his injury changed the knowledge of the brain and how they look at brains.

            I don’t think he was lucky or unlucky.  He was working and then he got a metal rode shot threw his head. He didn’t   know what happened but had  was bleeding pretty bad.  They had to try top put his head back together.

            I didn’t like this book because it talked about brains more than Phineas Gage.  I would rate this book a one because it talked all about the brain.  I would only recommend this book to older students that want to become a doctor because it talks about brains.
