I got these sentences out of the book October Sky.

Compound sentence- I  organized the construction of a liter out of branches, and we bore the great warrior home.

Compound-Complex sentence- All through the day, the heavy thump of the locomotives’ steam pistions thundered down our narrow valleys,  the town shaking to the crescendo of griding steel as the great trains accelerated.

The novel Code Talkers is about an Indian boy named Kii Yazhi. The book talks about how he goes to an American boarding school, and the teachers tell him to forget about their sacared Navajo Language,  the American way is better. Later on in the book Kii Yazhi joined the marines. While he was in the Marines they wanted a new code talker to send messages back and fourth down the line of duty. So that’s when the Navajo Indians had to become the new code talkers. They had to become code talkers because the Marines wanted to use their sacared language so that the Japanese couldn’t figure out what they are saying. This book is good because it teaches you to never give up, to never forget where you come from. What I have learned form the book is to always stand your ground. In the book, Kii Yazhi stood his ground, and didn’t listen to the American teachers when they told him to forget about his language. Then his language was important in  fighting in War World Two.
