The book I'm reading right now was written by a friend of mine. His name is Jordan, and when I met him I didn't know that he had written this book. I'm embarrassed to say that after meeting him it took me a few years to actually buy his book and start reading it. I wish I had started reading this book much, much sooner. Jordan's book is called Floodlines, and it's about how communities came together to survive and support each other during and after Hurricane Katrina. It's also about how people came together to challenge systems that took resources away from people who needed it most. I'm grateful to journalists like Jordan who document people's stories so that I can learn from their struggle.

DeleteMy chapter book is Diary of a Whimpy Kid A Novel of Cartoons. In the book Greg is having a bad day at school. He does not want to do acting and his mom wants him too. During a test Greg stood by the map to see the answers but a girl said cover it up. He was out of luck. I will recommend this book to other students because it is funny and fun to read.

ReplyDeleteThis book seems to be so funny because everyone i n the family went back on their resolution. I love the part about the dad stuffing himself with brownies in the garage! That would be funny in a movie. -- Lou
DeleteThe book I'm reading now is called THE WOMAN I KEPT TO MYSELF by Julia Alvarez. It's a book of poems about how the author grew up in the United States after immigrating from the Dominican Republic. Because she spoke Spanish until she came to America and kids made fun of her accent and the food she ate, she was afraid to be herself and to say what she was thinking when she was a kid. The book of poems is about how she came out of her shell and became proud of who she is. -- Lou
ReplyDeleteThe book I'm reading now is called 'Los Versos del Capitan'. It's a book of poetry by Pablo Neruda. For most of my life, I didn't understand poetry or why people liked it. Now I'm seeing that it's a way to describe our world in a way so that other people can look at the same things in different ways.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's in English and Spanish, which is important for me. I speak Spanish, but never learned to read it well. A few weeks ago, I was asked to read in Spanish and I was scared to do it out loud. But I took a chance that the people around me would support me and they did. Also, I felt I needed to do it whether or not I made a lot of mistakes. I made a few, but not as many as I thought I would.
Good Job!!! Keep up the reading!!!
DeleteTeah,how is your book .
