Twilight

Dear classmates and Miss.English,



I am reading the book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Stephine Meyer has done a great job writing this book so far, it has kept me flipping pages of the book like crazy. It has kept me reading all the time. When I was reading one paticular part of my book a couple of questions came to my mind about what I was reading such as, Why is Bella not afraid of Edward like she is supposed too? And especially why does she feel safe with him? Finally, Why doesnt Jacob(childhood friend also werewolf) speak up about how much he like's Bella?



Some thoughts came into my head about Edward, I thought that Edward would get mad at Bella for not telling Charile(Bella's father) about their time together.

I'm at a cliffhanger about the evil vampire's(Laurent,Victoria, and James) tracking down Bella. She has to be on the move with Edward, Charlisle ,Esme,Emmet, Alice Jasper and Roasile(Edwards symbling's). To get away from the other vampires.

Anyway it is a awsome book so far and I'm proud of myself, I have 97 more pages to go then I'll be finished!

Double Identity

I read Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The book is about a girl called Bethany. She gets sent to her aunt Myrlie, her mother's sister, even if she has never heard of her before. Anyways, Bethany has a lot of questions, like why her parents are older than other kids' parents, and why are they so overprotective? Then Bethany overhears her Aunt Myrlie talking to her parents on the phone and she heard, "She doesn't know about Elizabeth." Then she sees a videotape of Elizabeth which just looks like Bethany. She even has the same number of freckles as Bethany. Bethany pretends that she doesn't know about her so she doesn't talk about it. She finally asks her father and FINALLY Aunt Myrlie tells her. Bethany finds out that she is a clone of Elizabeth, her sister who died in a car accident. Elizabeth died in 1997 and was thirteen, so that's why her parents were older than others.







Some of my questions were why did Elizabeth's father clone her after she has died? An also Elizabeth hated swimming. How come Bethany was so good at it? Her parents expected her to drown and die. I think it is really weird how Bethany even likes the same foods as Elizabeth, like oatmeal with peaches and cream. But since Elizabeth died at thirteen years old, how come Bethany didn't die too when she was thirteen, since she was a clone of Elizabeth? And did Bethany remember the times that she was Elizabeth?

Heart Beat


Dear class,

I'm reading the book Heart Beat. Its about a girl named Annie and her friend Max. They like to run bare foot every morning and they always stop at the park bench at the end of the trail.
Annie works for a old women named Mrs. Copper. Annie mows her lawn in the summer and in the spring and rakes the leaves in the fall, she cleans Mrs. Copper's garage in the winter. Annie is saving the money the she earns to buy Fancy pencils and paper. Max works at a dinner and is saving his money for new running shoes so he can be on the boys track team and win all the meets.

One of my questions was why did Max want to win so badly?
Why did Annie want the color pencils so badly?

Land of the weenies

Dear class,


This week I am reading a book called Land Of The Weenies.I have not been reading for more than two days so all I know is that its about many many fairytales so far I have read two mini stories.

I have a connection for the second story...My brother also thought fairies were real two.I also
have a question about the book two...Why is every story about fairies when you can just make
one whole book about it. Of course everyone has a prediction... I think that billy will catch a
fairy just like he alwase wanted to.

your classmate,
EA

Peter and the Shadow Thieves

Dear class,

I am reading the book Peter and the Shadow Theives. The book is about a boy and his name his Peter, can fly any time he wants, and he has a fairy whose name is Tink or Tinker Bell. A strange thing and his name is Ombard who is a Other (or the bad side). Ombard can also suck up shadows and then control you, atacks his friend Molly who is a Starcatcher(the good side) and the Starcachers and the Others try to collect starstuff( starstuff is stuff that falls from shooting stars) so they fight to get the starstuff. The Others use it for bad reasons but when Starcatchers get starstuff they save a little bit so they can fly and heal but then they return it to the heavens.

Some of my questions are, How come Peter can fly?, How come Ombard has a cape over him at all times?, and the last one question is how is starstuff made? This book and the other books are amazing I cant wait to read the third book.Thanks for reading, JB

Eclipse


Dear Ms.English and Class,


I am reading a VERY good book called Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. In the book Eclipse Alice kidnapped Bella and Bella has to stay at the Cullen's house until Edward comes back from his hunting trip with his dad, and two brothers Jasper and Emett. While Bella was falling asleep Rosalie happened to come by her room and they started talking about how and when Rosalie became a vampire.


In Rosalie's story she lived in a wonderful town where her dad was a banker. She could not go anywhere without everyone looking at her and admiring her beauty. She was shallow and only thought about herself. She wanted to have a husband and to be with somebody for the rest of her life. A king owned her dad's bank, and that king had a son named Royce. Rosalie was very jealous when she found out that one of her best friends Vera got married and had a beautiful baby that had dimples and had curly black hair. Rosalie was amazed when she got engaged with Royce. One night walking home from Vera's in the snow, Rosalie saw her fiance drinking with a few of his friends. Rosalie knew that he only drank a glass of wine here and there.


Rosalie went over to them and said "Hi." Royce and his friends were drunk and they severely hurt Rosalie. Rosalie was telling Bella she was just laying in the snow waiting to die. Carlisle found Rosalie in the street bleeding. He brought her back to his house and saved her life by turning her into a vampire. She remembered Carlisle saying he is so sorry every time she screamed from the venom. Edward did not like Rosalie one bit. After having the venom spread in her Rosalie looked at the mirror and she was disgusted by how she looked. That whole story is why she does not want Bella to turn into a vampire. She wants her to live and have a happy life unlike Rosalie did. Bella was shocked to find out that Rosalie was just jealous of Bella because she has a perfect life.
When Bella was at school Jacob came and picked her up to ditch school on his motorcycle, at Jacob's house Bella and Jacob got into a big fight. Alice was so mad when Bella went to the Cullen's house. She ditched school and went to their enemy's house. Bella was so excited when she got to go home, but when she went to her room all her clothes where gone. Edward had no clue what happened. I think that Jacob stole her clothes.

While I was reading Eclipse I had a few questions in mind. One of the questions was Why would Royce hurt Rosalie which was his fiance? And Why did Royce drink when he usually does not? Also, i had connection that kinda matched what happened to Rosalie. At my old school I was being bullied by a group of boys also. In my head I could see a movie playing about Eclipse, I could just imagine Rosalie getting hurt. That is so sad of what had happened to Rosalie.


Sincerely,

J.A.

Runt


Hey class,

Right now I am reading the book "Runt". In it, a mother wolf gave birth to 4 pups ,Leader, sniffer, runner ,and Thinker, as the father (King) thought, after a little wile King found another pup being cleaned by his mother.

The newly born pup was very, very small for his age. He had black fur with a white star on his chest, just like his father, they called him Runt. As all the other pups got older they also grew, runt did too of course but he was still not as big as all of his brothers and sisters.In my book, King stood guard on the top of the nursing cave.
