So Far From the Bamboo Grove #18

So Far From the Bamboo Grove

During the world war 2 there was a factory. They army went into the factory and killed all the people. Heydo and his friends survived. I think the author wanted this so that in the story, there will be action. If this is a true story I think that it is very sad.

So Far From the Bamboo Grove

For me the sadest part of chapter 8 was that the mom died. I think that the author wants to show how everyone, can be strong even without thier mom. The mom probobly died from losing her parents, and how after the war, they were suppose to go to her parents. "She turned her head, and her arm droped." After that quote, I knew what would happend. I thought that it was really sad.

Six Months to live by



After i started reading "six months to live" by Lurlene McDaniel. I started liking scary/action books. This book is about a girl named Dawn Rochelle who was a thirteen year old. She one day went to pick up her checkup resoults....and she has caner.She didnt understand how she could have cancer. Dawn imidately went to the hospital. She had a roomate the same age, Sandy Chandler, who also had cancer. They did everything together including fashion advise, counselling, and other activities in the hospital. It was Dawn's fourth month at the hospital when Sandy's test results came back saying she was free to go. Two weeks later Dawn ws free to go too. Dawn and Sandy meet up at a cancer camp in Ohio. They had a blast and they even meet two boys named Greg and Mike. Mike had had a bone cancer and part of his left leg had been cut off. Greg liked Dawn and Mike liked Sandy. It was three weeks after camp when Sandy wrote a letter to Dawn that told her that Sandy had to go back to the hospital.
This is until where i stopped reading. My favorite part of the story was the i also learned new words. For example the word remission was new to me. Now i know that it means that you are free to go. I think that the author Lurlene McDaniel either had a friend like Dawn, or she was like dawn. This book was very emotinal. I think that the author wants us to think to our self, what would had happen if we had cancer, and couldnt be doing fun think, but she proved that poeple with cancer have as much fun as normal people. If i was Dawn i would not know what to do if i was her.

First Trimester Free Reading Reflections


The best thing about me reading during the first trimester was that i also get to learn from reading. Reading most of the time calms me down. Also when I read, I get ideas for my stories. Most of the ideas that I have for my story comes from that books that i read.
I have two favorite novels that i read over the first trimester. The first one is the kid who became president. I love this book because it is something that can never happen. It can never happen because a kid can never become a president. My other favorite book is the Sisterhood of the traveling pants. It is a great book because for me i could imagine how it could fell like being each of the charachters in the book.
For me one of the graphs tell me that i read diffrent amounts of pages every week. The other graph tell me that i dont read that many kinds of book. I read a lot of realistic fiction books, and a few fantasy. I also read 12 diffrent books.
My goal for the second trimester is that Ill read more than 15 books. My other goal is that i will read more fantasy and more fiction books over the year. I want to read lots of pages each week. I think that i will accomplish them by reading lots of pages everyday and many diffrent types of books.
I also loved doing a blog after reading each book that i read. I think that that is a good way to express myself. Each week i read and enjoy the book i read, and if i dont like the book i change the book that i read to an interesting book.

The Kid Who Became President

The Kid Who Became President

The kid who became president is such a great book! It is by Dan Gutman, even though these book is one and only book I read by him, but i think he is a great author. There is a kid who runs out for president because he wanted to prove his friends that he can make it. He said in front of everyone "You should vote for me because I didn’t know anything about politics, or how to raise taxes, or how to ruin the economy." Basically this book shows that a kid makes it being a president and this entire people hate him. His parents didn’t even know about it until a few weeks later. His parents were really happy for him. All of his friends got mad at him because he stopped hanging out with them. I would love to be him, and run the country. Like I said before I loved the quote saying "you should vote for me because I didn’t know anything about politics, or how to raise taxes, or how to ruin the economy. After I read this book I thought myself that also kids can do whatever or however we want, and we will success. Yes, one of the characters changed during the book, the "president" before he became one he was selfish and after he cared about everything and everyone.

Princess in Love

Princess in Love is a great book!!! I loved reading it because it had real "girls stuff" in it. The character in the book is not similar to me or anyone I know. The book is about a girl who is a princess, who at least was a princess that did not like being one. All she wanted was peace and quiet. She had a boyfriend, but she liked another boy, but this isn’t how the fairytale was supposed to go. In the book she didn’t know what to do. I never knew that princes weren’t suppose to have real boyfriends that aren’t rich, and etc. I would love to read more books by Meg Cabot. I think she is a really good artist that expresses really well. I think that the author is not trying to make you believe what is happening in the book. I think that she wants us to imagine our own things.

Girls in Pants

Girls In Pants

Girls in Pants is the continues of the sisterhood of the traveling pants. Girls in Pants is such a good book. It is just like the sisterhood of the traveling pants. This book is before all four go to college, which means their last summer being young teens. During college is the time where they really need their pants the most. In the book Tibby learned that the pants always have known what she didn’t about Brian. Carmen needs the most magic of the pants that is possible. During the summer she is going to watch Lena's cranky Greek grandmother for the summer. Carmen tries to be someone that she is not. Lena was wishing that the traveling pants will tell her to go to art school like her dreams, although her family won’t support her. Lastly Bridget loved having her pants at soccer camp, when she found out who her coach is. If i had to choose out of all of these girls where to go, I would choose both Bridget and Lena. I want to go to soccer camp and find my love there like Bridget, and I would love to be Lena only for one reason and it is for painting. I love painting but if my parents wouldn’t support me I wouldn’t know what to do.

The Giver

The Giver!!

The Giver was such a good book! I thought the ending was pretty sad. Also chapter 9 for me was the sadest chapter in the whole book. It was so sad that Jonas dad nailed the baby with the nail. I was about to cry. It was a really stupid reason. Just because the baby was 5 pound 10 ounces not 6 he had to kill him. The other baby was only 4 more ounces than the other one. If i was the baby right now i would just have to kick Jonas dad. I would not want to be the babies right now. They were so poor. Usually if i was Jonas dad i would just not follow the rules and let the baby free. I did not want to finish this book.

The Giver

The Giver is a book about a boy named Jonas that lives with his father, a Nurturer of new children. His mom who works at the Department of Justice and he has a seven year old sister Lily. At the beginning he is worried about the Ceremony of Twelve, when he will be given his official Assignment as a new adult member of the community. He does not have a distinct career preference, although he enjoys volunteering at a variety of different jobs. Though he is a good behaved citizen and a good student, Jonas is different. Jonas has pale eyes, while most people have darker eyes. In his town everyone is polite. If I had to be a character I would probably be Jonas. I sort of read ahead but when I read, he has unusual powers, that when he looks at an object, the objects moves. I would want to be him because he has unusual power, and for him it is a really big deal to turn 12 so it is awesome. In there also now he gets to start working at age 12.

Bloomability

Bloomability is a really good book. The author really brought out the message that their family moved lots of times and that everyone hates it. Her dad and his mother in law hate each other. Every time his mother in law would come to their new home they would run away. This book is not similar to any other books that I read. I think the way that the mother in law and the father are acting is really strange because they hate each other and they would always blame each other and fight. This book isn’t really about me but it is like the movie called aquamarine because there is a girl who moves everywhere with her mom. When the author said, “my mom would start packing, and we’d wait for the phone call from him so that we would met up with him” I said to myself that they must have experience with this and done it lots of times. In the couple of first chapters I didn’t really get it but after a while I started getting the point of the book.

the cheetah girls

The Cheetah girls are a really good book. I like it because it is about teenagers who sing for the talent show. They are four girls and their names are Galleria, Dorinda, Aqua, and Chanel, and they are all best friends. They were in a band, they are planning on going out for their dreams being pop starts, and they didn’t let anyone get in their way. They met Jackal Johnson who is a music producer in New York, they suddenly put some afferent in their band and they started realizing that it is more difficult than what they thought that the fame road will be. Jackal Johnson made a test to test the relationship of the girls to see if he changes some stuff in their music if it will ruin their relationship. If I was one of the cheetah girls I would like to be Galleria because she is one of the main characters in the book, she got a really nice family. She is also a really good singer and she has got lots of talent. She got some boys to go after her, and she has got really nice friends. The cheetah girls is like the book called the sisterhood of the traveling pants because they are both about a relationship with four friends, and both of the book have something to do during the summer.
