I think this book is more adventure than fantasy because the characters go on a adventure around the world by submarine, they even go to the south pole.

I think the main character of this book is Pierre Aronnax and he is very kind and soft hearted.

I think a Pierre is very clear in what he wants to say but says in kindly.

I think this book is adventure-fantasy because...
Fantasy- there are talking animals in the book.
Adventure- A girl named Darcy Moon needs to save these frogs from extinction.

Darcy was very quiet, and calm before this adventure of hers.
After her adventure she think people want to be her friend and don't just pretend to be.

I think Darcy needed to be a critical thinker and do whatever she was doing fast.

I think this is adventure book because the Robinson Family get stranded on an island and need to live there until a ship comes and picks them up. They are stranded for 10 years!

I think the Robison family is very adventurous.

The family needs to be very creative and need to use the knowledge they have to protect themselves.

I think this book is fantasy because nobody can create monsters or bring a dead person back to life.

The antagonist is a monster and he is very kind but he is murdering people because he is lonely and is mad at Frankenstein because he created him and doesn't like him. To get revenge the monster is killing everyone who is close to Frankenstein.

The monster is very strong and is very soft hearted

I think this book is an adventure book because... Arkie's parents got kidnapped and it is up to Arkie to save them. Arkie needs to go to seven continents and find seven different treasures is seven days!

Arkie is very determined with what she want to do, because if she wants something she must get it unless the opponent has a better reason not to give it to her.

I think Arkie has experienced some of these things with her parents but she needs to be resilient to try some new things such as time-slip.

Realistic Fiction

Chapter 11:
Main Idea of the chapter:  Is Stanleys point of view about X-ray.

I think that Stanley shouldn't have agreed to what X-ray said, because if Stanley found it, why should X-ray get the day off.

Chapter 14:
If Stanley had found the gold tube then the warden must have know cause there were cameras and microphones.

I think that Stanley is a bit self-conscious, because he thought it would look silly if performed the nursery rhyme.

Chapter 23:
I wonder why Zero chose Stanley to learn from when he could learn from any of the other people in camp D?
I notice that the that peach baker's name is Kathrine Barlow...
I wonder why the author is focusing on the feet every once in a while?
I learned that Kathrine Barlow that she is very strong in her decisions...

Themes i'm noticing in Holes:
1) Lying
2) Friendship
3) Racism
4) Equal right

I think that Linda is connected to the Warden because it might have been passed down generations and made the camp so that the boys could dig up the loot.

I think that the "lake" is so dry that even the storm that's coming in, will get soaked up even if it takes some time.
In my writing I will try to use show not tell and try to drop in clues leading to one big thing which I think this author does well.

I think the will find Madame Zeroni's cottage and make it their "house" for a while, because Zero's actual name is Hector Zeroni. I think their water source will be the river.

Character changes I've noticed in Stanley:
Some changes I've noticed are he doesn't lie as much now. He is physically changed because now he is much stronger. Earlier in the story Stanley used to do whatever he was told but later in the story he does whatever he think is right.

Chapter 48:
I think that the camp figured out that Zero stole the shoes and released Stanley and Zero needs to dig for another 18 months, or it was already time for Stanley to leave.

A new message I found is that lying is not always bad.

Last Chapter

Ending Prediction

I predict Stanley and Zero become really good friends, and Zero goes and lives with Stanley.
I also think that the warden will get arrested because she had no file against Zero and she lied a lot.

By Enid Blyton

In this book Julian, Dick and Anne come to Georgina's (George) house but when aunt Fanny (Georges's mum) falls sick and needs to go to the hospital uncle Quinten (George's dad) needs to go to so he can look after aunt Fanny. then the five (George, Julian, Dick, Anne and their dog Timmy) were stuck with the... Sticks, Mrs Stick was their cook and her family was with her. Mrs Stick had a very bad temper.

This book reminds me of when my friends and I were playing but it was time for me to go home and my friends wanted me to stay so when my friends were not looking I ran away and back to my house.

My favourite character is... Julian because, he knows what to do at what time and how to react.

I think this book is a expository book because it gives you a lot of facts about India.
This book reminds me of a book called India's history.

By Enid Blyton

In this book the characters are: Janet, Peter, Colin, George Jack, Pam, Barbara, Scamper(Peter & Janet's dog) Truncilo (a circus acrobat).

What are the Secret Seven trying to solve: Who stole the pearl necklace.

Clues found: Black hair with a empty patch in the middle, blue socks with thin red stripes, clean shaved, small holes wear they saw the thief.

Prediction: I think someone who walked on the stills might have taken the necklace because the holes could have been from the stilts.

By Enid Blyton

In this book George changes from being friendly to her cousins into being sort of mean, this is because their tutor, Mr. Ronald, has come over for the holiday to give them extra lessons. Mr. Ronald does not like Tim, Georges dog, and if somebody does not like Tim, George does not like them either.

A true story

I think the author wrote this book because the author wanted us to know that animals should get as much care as we do.
The main idea was that when Billy got hurt and needed care.
This reminds me of the the book Malory Towers book 1 (First Term), because a character is ill and her friend is looking after her.
I think the author wanted us to learn that animals should get as much care as we do.

This book teaches you about animals and their close relatives from the past.
Starting from tiny atoms to huge elephants and whales, the author does not leave 1 animal out.

Main Characters: Patrica (Pat) and Isabel

Week 8
Pat and Isabel are very sneaky, mischievous and have a bunch of tricks up their sleeves. A way the characters change is at the beginning they did not want to go to St Clare's at all but after having a tour of the school they were more convinced to play tricks!

Book 1

Main character: Darrell Rivers

Darrell is in her new boarding school and is making friends rapidly so I think she is really friendly but she tends to lose her temper quite a bit. She is caring and very very hyper sometimes. She is a great swimmer and a great diver. She never gives up also tries not to disappoint anyone. Darrell is also a critical thinker and a problem solver.

Week Seven (The last bit I read)
She realises her mistakes -  After Darrell does something bad she feel sorry if she hurt somebody because in the part I am in Darrell kicked Sally across the room hurt her in the tummy and Sally is really hurt. Darrell kicked Sally across the room because Sally was not talking to Darrell or listening to Darrell, and that made Darrell really frustrated so Darrell kicked her.

Week 8
Self-blaming - because after Darrell kicked Sally, Sally needed to go to the clinic and that night Darrell called herself wicked, coward ex. and blamed herself for the tummy ache Sally has but I think Sally has a tummy ache for a different reason. I think Darrell has now got a bit of her courage back because she want to write to Sally's mother about what happened and also ask Sally's mother about Sally and her baby sister.
Now Darrell feels much better because her dad who is a doctor did Sally's operation and said that Sally had appendicitis. Darrell was so relieved that she had not caused Sally's pain.
Sally's mother (Mrs Hope) said that Sally had a baby sister.

This book teaches you facts about the desert which are very interesting. I chose this book because when I flipped through the pages the layout looked like it would be easy for me to read and understand. One thing that interests me is the fun facts because I love learning new facts. I also like this book because it has lots of images which helps me by giving me a clearer visual thought.

Main Character: A boy

(I was away during chapter one)

Chapter 2
He caring and brave because he fell and got hurt to see if somebody who was in a car crash was okay. He can talk to animals but not humans. He is a critical thinker and a problem solver.

Chapter 3
He is kind and like to offer things. He is patient, curious, positive, never gives up, very determined, strong, carful, courages, adventurous, smart. He lied for a good reason - to save him the dog and his mom. Creative - because he looks for creative words to help the dog relax. Problem solver - he solves things and is patient when the dog acts differently.

(We weren't meant to write until now)

Chapter 7
In the end, the boy is more confident because a year later not only was he speaking but he was speaking in a firm voice. He is sensitive because he did not let the dog go, and got to keep the dog!

In this book the social issue is...
Special needs

I think Oliver is a spoilt kid, he has a lot but wants more which I think he is going to get.
My prediction was wrong because Oliver is very caring and loving to everybody but especially animals.

I wonder why Nancy gave the dog to Oliver?

I think Nancy will give the dog to Oliver or call the dog Barclay. (Which Oliver would name it)
My prediction was wrong because Nancy Once gave Oliver's parents An investment of 11 thousand dollars, and now it's Nancy's turn to get her money back but Oliver's parents lost the money... now it's up to Oliver to get the money and give to Nancy or else... Nancy will kill the dog...

Themes i'm noticing in Too Small Too Fail:
1) Money/Investments
2) Secrets
3) Jobs
4) Lying

In this book the social issue is... Animal rights.

I think the antagonist in this book is Mack, because he is keeping all his animals in a bad manner unlike Helen would. Helen would let the animals run around and be free.
Mack is keeping them in one small domain each, I think Mack is doing this to make the animals listen to him.

Wonderings:
I wonder why Mack thinks putting each of them in a different domain will make them listen to him?
