9.22.10 - 9.24.10 Week 5

  In your book, what are some of the ways that your character expresses themselves through their emotions? How do they show love? Anger? Hate? Why is this important to you as a reader?

      In my book Tears of Tiger by Sharon M. Draper, some of  way that my character express themselves  through their emotion is Andy sees a psychologist to help him "talk through" his problems to deal with the guilt caused by Rob's death. Andy  shows love by writing to his best friends parent how sorry he is and that show that he didn't mean to and he is showing the parent that he loves them "..I remember_ spending the night at your house, and staying up all night watching cable, eating the pizza that we oreder at 3:00 a.m" on pg.104. It is important to me as a reader because the reader want to know how the character shows love or hater.

9.13.10 - 9.17.10: Week 4

 It is important to use our observations/knowledge of the world around us to understand and make meaning out of what we read. Thinking about your experience with the writing excursion, how much importance does your author place on how two characters in your book dress/look? How do you know this?

                

             In my book the Tears of a Tiger by Sharon M.Draper. She describes
Andy and Keisha because the she want us to know what kind of character were reading about.

         First,  she describe Keisha. She is Andy's girlfriend. But the author doesn't really describe her. The only thing I know about her is she really like Andy. At middle when Andy killed himself she was very pissed out. After that happened they were mad at other. Second,  the author describes what kind of guy is Andy. Andy is a black guy. she is a normal guy but when he kill his best friend in accident every say he is a killer.

9.7.10 - 9.10.10: Week 3

As readers, we need to be able to look at that is happening in the world around us so that we can make connections to what we are reading. Thinking about the world you live in, what connections can you make to your book.

            In my book the character was blaming him self that he killed his best friend.

but at the end Andy (the character) killed himself.  so my connection to the world is many teenger drink and then drive without thinking about the consequence.

8.23.10 - 8.27.10: Week 1

 

Talk about what your book is about. Describe the setting, the main characters and the plot. Think about and discuss what you believe the Universal Theme to be. (This is a basic summary to get you back into the habit of discussing what you are reading with other readers).

      The book  I was reading was the BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA by Katherine Paterson I like it because it's about a boy named Jess who was the fastest runner and when he start school their were a new student who runs fast then him.So, they became friend. They build a private place called Terabithia. At the end Jess friend died by some accident thing.  I think the universal theme is how how society act and rects because jess was her best friend friend and when she died he want to her house.

                       8.30.10 - 9.3.10: Week 2
            As we look into how our characters in our books are expressing themselves, how does that, in turn, make you think about how you express yourself?
          My characters expresses themeselve by how they talks and he shows his classmate that he runs fast. I like to express myself by running because I like to run everyday and practice. I like to run long distance.
