There are many conflicts in my book but the main one is juli has had a big crush on bryce all her life and all she has wanted is for him to like her back but finally when he does he messes up with juli and she starts to hate him.

Give me a review about your book. So far, what do you like about your book? What do you not like? Who would you recommend this book to? Why?  I think that the book im reading is really good, i like how they show the point of view of each character and show how their friendship starts to grow and fade in the book, what i dont like is when each person is the narrator you are hearing the same story again i think it mightve been better if they did their pov for each little story or part. I would reccomend this book  to any of my friends or anyone who likes to read about "love" stories

Juli is mad a bryce and is ignoring him and everyone since the eggs incident, normally bryce would love her getting off his back and bein quiet but her being mad made him go crazy, he was so worried abt her and was feeling things he didnt normally.

Tell me about an interesting topic that is present in your book. What have you learned about this topic/idea? What are you still wondering about this topic? How has this topic impacted your story (the characters and/or the plot)?
An interesting topic in my book is how juli had to hatch 6 chicks for her science fair project. Ive learned by reading that there are a lot of requirements for hatching eggs, If it is too hot or too cold it can cause them to not be able to hatch or they could have trouble developing. Juli also talks about how if you dont get rid of a non developed egg it could explode and affect other eggs growth. I am wondering how long it can take to hatch chickens and if there are any other requirements right after they are born. This topic impacted the story because this is how juli got her eggs to give to bryce and how juli started to turn against bryce and was very mad at him

# data[].attributes.body
After 2 years of juli giving bryce eggs and bryce throwing them away juli finally finds out he isnt taking her eggs, bryce immediately starts to feel bad, he thinks about her hard work with the chickens and how he should been honest with her. She tells him that these eggs were a gift and she wasnt even charging him for them like he was with the other neighbors. bryce tried to explain but juli ran off crying and he felt very bad, this questioned his thoughts because he wasnt sure if he really did care about her feelings or if he was just afriad of her

Tell me about the narrator of the book you are reading. What is he or  she like? Is he or she believable? Do they seem authentic and real? There are 2 Narrators of my book, one is bryce and one is juli. they have known each other since 2nd grade and they live across the street from each other. juli is obsessed with bryce but bryce only sees juli as a problem. Bryce and Juli are believable for somethings but not others, when bryce and juli are talking about his or her thoughts they are believable because they know themselves best and are explaining their side of the story. but when they try to guess what each other are thinking it is very wrong and not believable

# data[].attributes.body
After bryce spent a while worrying and feeling bad for juli he went back to his normal ways of thinking poorly of her. One day she comes over offering him a carton of eggs, with this he remembers the chickens that hatched them that juli had raised for his science fair last year. disgusted h takes the eggs and assumes that if they are from juli they are going to be bad or have baby chicks in them. he wanted to stay away from juli so he didnt bother asking if it was even possible the eggs where bad. In this chapter bryces point of view on juli has totally changed from him caring about her to now him thinking she is gross or unhealthy

Make a prediction about what you think will happen next. Use information from your story to support your prediction I predict that after all the years of juli liking bryce and bryce denying bryce will finally start getting feelings for her. I think this because bryce talks about how he is feeling sad for juli and hes never felt that way before. he gets worried abt her and this could lead to her liking him

The type of figurative language in this sentence is personification. I know this because polite is a human feature that you cant give to something nonhuman like feet. I think that the author added this to show the reader how her moms feet are perfect and well behaved. this is good for the reader because they know what Esperanza is visualizing

The witch lady sees jealousy and sorrow in Esperanza’s cards. Why do you think these showedup for Esperanza fortune?

# data[].attributes.body
When the witch lady takes Esperanza fortune she mentions her jealousy i think this showed up because as Esperanza lives her life she looks at other girls and people and how "lucky" they are with the way they look and the boyfriends they have and that builds up a lot of jealousy toward everyone

the mood in this sentence is positive because they are making a joke of how they are all "trash" talking each other and they are having a fun time doing it. I think the author added this to show how comfortable the girls are getting to be with each other and they are now not scared to share jokes and make fun of eachother

Is the name ­calling serious, meant to hurt each other's feelings, or is it just joking? Explain your opinion and use evidence. 

# data[].attributes.body
I think the name calling is just a joke and not on purpose to hurt each others feelings. I think this because they start off by naming the clouds then start talking about the fat ones and esperanza i think this is a joke because esperanza was defending herself but in a funny way because she told them they looked like the other clouds so it was basically just all the friends messing around with each other back and forth

# data[].attributes.body
The type of figurative language in this sentence is a hyperbole because nenny is talking about how there are million zillion kids of snow flakes which is a exaggeration. I think the author used this figurative language to show the readers how many snowflakes nenny is thinking of.

# data[].attributes.headline

# data[].attributes.body
The type of figurative language the author used was personification. I know this because the author is giving a non human thing ( the cloud ) human traits (fat)
I think the author added this to help the readers visualize and understand what the cloud looks like. this is effective because you can now relate to what darious is looking at and visualize the cloud

"They are wearing shiny sunday shoes without socks" HOMS pg-15 

# data[].attributes.body
dennotation- shoes to wear to church, nice shoes
connontation- expensive shoes, taken care of, clean, new, shiny
the mood in this sentence is negative because just before esperanza says this seh talks about how lucy and rachel look crooked and old and with these nice shoes on it shows they might only have enough money for 1 pair of shoes which would be their sunday shoes. i think the author added this to let the readers know the exact situation with crooked clothes but no socks and nice shoes

# data[].attributes.body
denotation-bent, unorganized
connotation- beaten down, dirty, old
The mood is negative because cathy  is judging the way that lucy and rachels clothes look or how they present themselves

I think the author used this to show how cathy thinks of lucy and rachel by explaining them in a way like crooked which makes the reader think of uneven. It added to the story by letting the readers know how lucy and rachel are similar when it comes to money with esperanza. we learn that they are perfect for esperanza because they just want to be there to have fun and not worry about anything else

Denotation- a decorative hanging light with branches for several light bulbs or candles
Connotation- valuable, elegant, delicate, expensive, desirable Using the word chandelier adds a positive and sophisticated mood to this section of the story.  The author used the phrase fancy chandelier so we can learn how Esperanza's great-grandfather views her great-grandmother. We learn that he loved her and really wanted to marry her. He values her and sees her as a delicate, elegant, desirable woman. The message would have been significantly different if the author said, “As if she were a sack of potatoes.”
