Fever 1793


Dear class,



The book that i am reading is called Fever 1793. This book is about a girl named Matilda who's best friend named polly just died. And there saying that the reson that she died is because theres this fever called the yellow fever. Matilda is trying to see Polly but matildas's mom named Lucille dosn't want her to because of the sickness that is going around. Matilda's grandfather wants Ma tilda to see poll because it was her old friend. So the goverment and such are telling Matilda that people are diying because of god and how if ypu dont go to chursh you will get sick and die.


I had a few questions that i wanted to ask one was if Lucille gose out wouldnt she get sick and die, my other question was why was there people out side the market if there was a sickness going around, and my last question was is matilda going to die.

This reminds me of when my step brother's friend hung himself. He wasn't the smartest guy around the world. This also reminds me of when I was home and sick and I wanted to go to school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha Ha.

This book is really good i'll get back to my questions in a week.

Harry potter and the order of the phoenix











Dear class:

the book im reading is Harry potter and the order of the phoenix.So far in this book,Harry had a dream and then it got inturupted by Arthur [Mr.whesley] getting attacked by a snake.He had to go to Dumbledores office to talk about the dream.Just when Harry got into Dumbledores office but Dumbledore didnt feel comfortable with Harry in his office because he was supose to stay away from him and if Dumbledore told Harry anything of what Dumbledore knows that Harry dosnt know,then Harrys scar would burn and that would mean that Voldemort is trying to control him.


So Dumbledore sent Harry and George [Harrys friend] in a portkey to warn other wizards.Along the way,Harry kept thinking that he was the snake who attacked Mr:Whesley.Then just when christmas came,Sirius said that Voldemort [evil wizard] was looking for something that he didnt have last time and Harry thinks he"s the weapon.



So far I think this is the best book ive ever read in my life. I think Voldemort thinks that harry is his weapon because he can control scars that were given from him and thats the rule for people that have scars that were from Voldemort.Can harry control his scar from Voldemort controling it or will he be killed by Voldemort putting presure on harrys scar?

Sincerely,



MH

Peak


Dear Class,
The book I'm about to read is Peak by Ronald Smith. The summary of the book is about a 14 year old guy named Peak and he's about to paint graffiti on a building in a big city. When he gets caught by the police he gets two choices. One is to go to juvenile place, and the other is to live with his long lost father. When he goes to his fathers home he soon finds out that his father is a mountain climber. When he meets his dad his dad says that Peak should be the youngest person ever to climb Mount Everest. Peak doesn't like this idea but he has to do it.
My prediction is that Peak will make it to the top of the mountain but on the way down he will slip and fall. He will have surgery but be okay.
Sincely,

The Falcon`s Feathers

I am reading The Falcon`s Feather By Ron Roy.It is about when
Josh discovers that a nest of young falcons.
He, Dink and Ruth Rose
checking up on the birds
everyday until the morning
they find out the nest was empty!!! Then the kids see one of the falcons
with it`s wing feathers trimmed, and they
know someone`s up to
no good. Read to find out what happens!

While I was reading the book some thoughts popped into my head........



Thoughts

1. Why was Josh so interested in Falcons?
2. I felt kind of was freaked by someone
trimming a falcons feathers.
3. Was the falcon really trimmed?
4.This reminds of when I went to the Park and
I saw a falcon.

Abby Hayes: Out of Sight, Out of Mind

I read The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes: Out of Sight, Out of Mind by Anne Mazer. It is about when Abby's best friend Jessica leaves for Oregon for 3 months. During those three months, everything goes wrong! She forgets Jessica's babysitting job, she forgets to put up posters, and Natalie is being so bossy.
Jessica only told Abby that she was going to Oregon 5 days before she left. Why did she keep it a secret until then? Maybe she was scared of meeting her father's new family? I would be excited and scared.
After Jessica left, Natalie became extremely bossy. Why did she become bossy right after Jessica left??? Could it be that Jessica was the one who kept her quiet? If so, why??? Maybe Natalie wanted to be in charge.

I felt really bad for Abby when Jessica left. When she left, everything went wrong. Jessica even forgot about Abby. When Abby forgets to babysit, the little kid's mom fired her and hired her sister. Jessica found out and got so mad at Abby. Everyone else is perfect- Abby is not. Even her sisters are perfect. She must have a hard time at home.

Elite Forces

The book I am reading is called the Elite Forces and it is about the many special troops for special missions and is written by a veteran of all the big wars.

The article that I found the most interesting was actually about the kamikazes pf japan.

It started when a good general lead a attack and hit a ship before all his bombs were released, therefore causing a reaction that sunk the ship. Soon after they started having civilians do it, for honor, and protection of there home. They actually built a plane just for kamikaze attacks, with a bomb in it.


I was surprised at how lethal these attacks were, seeing that it was a hit and run and it actually really help keep the country up.

Also I thought they were forced to do it when really they wanted to and even though it was (quite literally) suicide they were worshipped and will be remembered for a while now (even though they were fighting against us) (but for their love of japan) they truly loved there country and were the most patriotic of all.

The Sloppy Copy Slipup

Dear Class





I'm still reading THE SLOPPY COPY SLIP UP. So far it's about Brian Higman a boy that always gets in trouble. His parents will destroy him if they figure out he got a big fat red
O ( f ). He has to turn in a Sloppy Copy (rough draght). Which he did not do . He had a excuse
that hes brother had band over and it was so loud he couldn't think. My question is ; is he
going to get away with it?
He does get away with it by sneaking into the line and I think the teacher finds out.
But before that he gets bullied by Harry. A 1st year student entering high-school.this reminds me of when I was in 3rd grade and one girl In my class never was nice to me. I don't think she even tried to be nice to me. That doesn't mater any more.What I'm trying to say is that I didn't finish my writing and it was due that day. So I decided I would do it during free time. I finished it in time and got a 3 on it.

I am starting a new book called The Magician's Nephew. I changed Books because I was getting tiered of that book. the only problem is that I doesn't know what NON-FICTION book to read.
