I read the book, “A Short History of the Girl Next Door.” I loved it, but was so frustrated by it! This is because of the ending (not going to give you any spoilers!). You might like it because the characters, Matt and Tabby, are really relatable. This book is fiction, but it could be similar to someone's actual life experiences. Some other books that are similar are "A List of Cages," and "Every Last Word."

I am on my third book of the quarter! I am reading the book, “A Short History of the Girl Next Door.” It is told in first person point of view, by the narrator, Matt. I know this because some of the pronouns used are I, me and my. The narrator, Matt, is telling the story of falling in love with his neighbor, Tabby. The author chose this point of view because it allows us to access Matt's thoughts. We aren't able to know what Tabby is thinking, but Matt does share many of her habits and actions.

I am reading the book, “Stargirl." One example of figurative language in the book is the phrase, "she laughed and the desert sang." This is an example of personification. The phrase is personifying her laugh by giving it the power to make the desert sing. There are other examples of figurative language too. For example, Spinelli uses a simile to describe Stargirl's eyes by comparing them to diamonds. To really explain how much Stargirl's eyes glistened, he says, "Her eyes were like black diamonds."

This week I am reading the book, “Stargirl.” I finish "Love That Dog," and it was excellent! The main idea this week is about Stargirl's ability to remain herself while facing the pressures of school. One supporting detail is how Stargirl plays the ukelele in the lunchroom and serenades her classmates on their birthdays. Another example is Stargirl's outrageous outfit choices. Finally, another example is how Stargirl joins the cheer leading team, but puts her own spin on the routines. I wonder if she will be able to maintain her originality, or if she will succumb to the peer pressures of the school.

I am reading the book, “Love That Dog.” The main conflict in the book is Jack's reluctance to share his poetry. It is an internal conflict that Jack has, but he shares it with his teacher. It is man vs. self.I know this because much of the dialogue in the book contains Jack going back and forth about if he should share his poems.

I am reading the book, “Love That Dog.” The main character in the book is Jack. Something Jack says is "I don't want to because boys don't write poetry. Girls do." Jack thinks that sharing poetry is for girls and that his poetry isn't much good anyway. Jack's poetry has effects on others, such as the ability to make them sad. We never learn how Jack looks, but we are able to tell that Jack is dynamic because he comes to love and appreciate his poetic ability.
