My response to the chapter

bdostal03 — 2020-10-16 17:48:29 UTC

I like how open the book approaches these problems. It instantly addresses how messed up these current issues are without sugarcoating it. It gets right to the point and you can I identify the kind of book it is.

Lindsey R

2020-10-16 17:48:35 UTC

I like the part when he says, "If I draw a cartoon of a flower, then every man, woman, and child in the world can look at it and say,

"That's a flower."," because its true, a lot of people can say something in a different langue, and only a small amount of people will understand you.

Aramina M pod 5

2020-10-16 17:48:51 UTC

I like the part when he was showing his drawings and talked about how people could understand what you draw instead of reading in different languages. I liked the writers style because it was talking about his life and everything he goes through and it was just very interesting about how he described everything.

First chapter Fridays summary - Mic'kayla Johnson

mjohnson1616 — 2020-10-16 17:48:52 UTC

what I love about this story is that he tells about how he's different from everybody.
This makes me feel his pain and just the way he explains his life just pulls me into the story. especially how he compares himself to different things, it makes me want to laugh

Celestino

2020-10-16 17:48:58 UTC

The writer's style was very descriptive on how his life is full of issues and problems in his life. Also, how he even described how he'd write since he stutters a lot.

Aeneas

2020-10-16 17:49:38 UTC

I don't like the part about them bullying him because of his disabilities. I think that people should not bully because of someones disabilities.

Isaiah L

2020-10-16 17:49:56 UTC

I wonder why they would bully people for their disabilities. I like that he draws and writes to express himself.

Jannet SC

jsandovalcastaned15 — 2020-10-16 17:50:29 UTC

Aarinay

2020-10-16 17:50:35 UTC

I like the part when he was talking about how he liked to draw to talk to the world and kinda express himself. i also like how he was turning a serious topic about himself into kind of a joke.

Lilliana A. Eagles

2020-10-16 17:50:44 UTC

This story was really funny but sad it was funny because you can tell that he can make any moment funny even if its something serious. The sad thing is that no one should be bulling cause somtimes its causes Harm.

Eva

2020-10-16 17:50:52 UTC

I like the part when he says his comics are little lifeboats. I also dislike how people physically and mentally harm him. I am happy though, that he is brave enough to go to school even though he has no choice. But, I like how he makes jokes about some things about him.

Efrain

2020-10-16 17:50:53 UTC

The story shows how people are treated cruelly for things that they may not be responsible for. I think I like this chapter from how honest it is.

I can relate to the boy because I remember when I got my first tooth got pulled out it hurt so bad. I used to get bullied because my front tooth was sticking out, almost although way out of my mouth.

lfernandez141 — 2020-10-16 17:51:03 UTC

Roberto Pod 6

rmaderavalenzuela03 — 2020-10-16 20:27:56 UTC

I was born wrong my mom said i was lucklily to only get a speech disablity and that it was fixable I still shutter but instead of being buillied my friends and I start laughing until I can say it.

Ryan Lor pod 6

2020-10-16 20:27:59 UTC

I like how they put his feeling, like I want to be rich and famous. Also I like how they did not put week verbs, so like when it said, "And live like a vegetable."

Shayla

2020-10-16 20:28:08 UTC

I like the way the writers style because he describes they way he feel. He gives us details on what happened to him, why it happened to him, and what the things that happened to him affect his everyday life.

Jennifer

2020-10-16 20:28:18 UTC

I can relate to the boy because I remember getting bullied for having a big fore head. The story sounded sad because imagine having a seizure 2 times a week.

Sarah Cordova Pod 6. The story makes me questions how mean people can be just because of how someone looks. I wonder what it must've been like having to grow up in that type of environment.

2020-10-16 20:28:20 UTC

Elyas romero

2020-10-16 20:28:22 UTC

I think the right was very deep with the words he used and what he said. And when he said he was getting bullied I can relate because my cousin sometimes gets bullied to and hes always really sad and nothing cheers him up.

Brisa Lozano

2020-10-16 20:28:23 UTC

The writers style was very very easy to read and more of a teenage tone than a adults tone. I wonder why people thought that Indians only felt half the pain.

I like how he included how he felt about himself. I also like how he does not let the way he looks get to him.

kpadilla191 — 2020-10-16 20:28:24 UTC

Felix casias pod 6

fcasias20 — 2020-10-16 20:29:09 UTC

2020-10-23 14:57:54 UTC

I predict that later in the story that something might happen before Esperanza's birthday. My favorite quote is "Wait for the fruit to fall into your hand." because with patience something great will come to you! :)
(sometimes)

Aeneas

Esperanza Rising

2020-10-23 17:50:03 UTC

Lindsey
My favorite thing that we have read is that Esperanza has had a vision on how she wanted things to go, because she would wish for it and had plans. What I love about this book because I have already read this book, is how they mix Spanish and English in one.

Efrain

2020-10-23 17:52:32 UTC

I liked what Ms. Augustine read today because this book gets very sad but it shows what Esperanza's life is at the moment. From the first chapter I like how even though most of the book is in English, it stills finds a way to add Spanish to the story.

Anesto

2020-10-23 20:27:34 UTC

I like the part where she was harvesting the grapes.This made me think of the time me and my grand parents would pick grapes off the vines

I wonder if the book is a true story. I also wonder if you can fell the earths hart beat.

Shayla Paz (Pod 6)

2020-10-23 20:27:42 UTC

I like the part in the beginning where Esperanza and her dad were laying in the grass and listening to the earth. It showed part of their relationship.

D'Angelo

2020-10-23 20:27:46 UTC

I thought the story was cool because when they tried to hear the earth's heart beat. Also because they had lived a good life so far.

dyanos01 — 2020-10-23 20:27:55 UTC

I like the way the writer writes. It seems smooth and descriptive. An example of this is “You can only feel the earth’s heartbeat when you are still and quiet.”

Felix C pod 6

fcasias20 — 2020-10-23 20:28:02 UTC

I liked the story that ms. Augustine read. Its was inserting because I like how they mixed in different languages.

Elyas romero

2020-10-23 20:28:05 UTC

I love this story because they are not shy to be themselves. Another reason is because her and her dad have a good relationship

seyth29 — 2020-10-23 20:28:27 UTC

I wonder what it was like growing up in poverty because I have never experienced that.

jromyen07 — 2020-10-23 20:43:42 UTC

I can relate to the story because me and my parents was walking, exercise, and hanging out with one another like when Esperanza is walking with her Dad in the story. I like the part when her Dad said "Did you know when you lie down on the land, you can feel it breathe? Then you can feel its heart beating?"

drinking.

Madison

2020-11-06 15:58:33 UTC

Giana G

2020-11-06 15:59:02 UTC

Why did he start to smoke and drink? I did not like the part when he said he would on his way to school in kindergarten he would find cigarettes buts and smoke them. And then he said he would drink bottles of wine.

Jaslin

2020-11-06 16:04:23 UTC

i wonder why he started drinking at a young age, and i wonder why he would always get in trouble.

Annissa f

afuentes04 — 2020-11-06 16:06:30 UTC

I didn't like the part where he would smoke on the way to school.

Landon Holtzman

landonholtzman20 — 2020-11-06 16:56:31 UTC

Nilofar Ahmadi

I like this story because it is interesting to read and where he is growing up.

Ariana M

2020-11-06 16:56:52 UTC

I wonder why he would start doing bad things for his health at such a young age. smoking at 5 and drinking at 8/9 is not good because of the damage it can cause his body. This can also affect his health because he is still growing.

I like the part were he got shot at

Why did he start drinking at the age of 8. I like the book because they add information about the things they do that is important.

jgomez051 — 2020-11-06 16:57:37 UTC

I think he was brave to go in the middle of the ocean because I know I wouldn't because I am afraid of drowning. I also think he is crazy for kinda going against those people, he should have avoided them.

Victor H pod 3

vhernandezrosal11 — 2020-11-06 16:57:57 UTC

i like the story because there is some good and also it gets very descriptive about the story. Because it says it was stranded on a raft.

Zarahi R

2020-11-06 16:57:59 UTC

I wonder why he started to drink and smoke so young? I like the story because its, interesting and it's very detailed.

joseph p3

jhernandez02a — 2020-11-06 16:58:06 UTC

What I liked was that it was funny is what he would do when he was younger. But it was also talking about serious things such as getting shot at.

Jenavicia Gomez

jgomez051 — 2020-11-06 16:59:49 UTC

I think he is very brave for going through all of those events. If I was the person I would be very scared..

Nakyla

2020-11-06 17:47:44 UTC

I like how he described what the men were doing and what he heard.

Rosa

2020-11-06 17:47:57 UTC

I like how the men in the raft told us how they looked and what was going on.

Jose (Pod 4)

2020-11-06 17:48:05 UTC

To be honest I liked the whole story because it was telling a lot about him when he was a kid. I also wonder why Louis drinking at such a young age and got in trouble so much and was such a bad kid

Anjana (pod 4)

2020-11-06 17:48:07 UTC

I like the part when he was explaining how the men looked liked. He was describing how it sounded near him, like what kind of sounds there was.

Camila D (POD4)

2020-11-06 17:48:12 UTC

I wonder if there was a reason he was a bad kid. The author gave a lot of detail because he said that soldiers lip were really swollen.

Nadya

2020-11-06 17:48:13 UTC

I wonder why Louie started drinking at a very young age. Also I like how the story makes the reader very nervous when Louie is in the ocean.

Jimena (Pod 4)

jarredondoperez20 — 2020-11-06 17:48:27 UTC

I like how in the beginning of the chapter it describes the boy and how he used to be as a child. I also liked how the author explained with lots of detail how the men looked in the raft.

Ms. Augustine

joliea2 — 2020-11-06 17:49:31 UTC

Louie was such a trouble maker when he was young! But I think that his ability to take risks helped him survive in such tragic times.

Khang

I like how much detail the story has when they talk about how they get attacked by Chinese bomber. I also like how the story showed pictures of him younger.

Isaiah L

2020-11-06 18:50:23 UTC

I think it's cool that he changed his ways, like drinking and being a trouble maker. I wonder why he was such a trouble maker at a young age. I think he's brave cause he jumped out of the raft to avoid being shot even though there was sharks.

Aarinay

2020-11-06 18:50:33 UTC

I couldn't imagine 27 days lost at sea and thinking you are going to be saved only to realize its only another thing to come to take their lives.

Mic'kayla Johnson

mjohnson1616 — 2020-11-06 18:50:34 UTC

I liked when the narrator told about all of his adventures ( that were mostly just getting into trouble).
one thing I realized was that I can't picture and adult Louie that was always getting into mischief as a child being such an icon to the world.

Aramina Martinez

2020-11-06 18:50:40 UTC

What I liked about the story was that it was about this life and that he had a very interesting childhood. Also about how he used to smoke and drink at such a young age.

Brenden

bdostal03 — 2020-11-06 18:50:40 UTC

I really liked the part with the machine gun as I could imagine every single moment. I really felt that I could be there to witness it.

Celestino

2020-11-06 18:50:44 UTC

I wonder why did he drink at such a young age. I also like how brave and bold he was to jump into the water with sharks.

Jannet SC

jsandovalcastaned15 — 2020-11-06 18:50:49 UTC

I like how he was so brave. Also I like how he can survive that much without food and water.

Lindsey Reyes

2020-11-06 18:52:26 UTC

I wonder how he went through so much and still survived for so long. Also why did he start drinking in the first place? Although he did stop drinking why did he stop after the war?

Efrain Gomez

2020-11-06 18:52:36 UTC

I liked how this actually happened and they explain the events. I also like how they are descriptive of what is happening.

Gabriel m

2020-11-06 18:52:45 UTC

Going through all those events i would be pretty scared. He's very brave to jump into water with sharks in it and getting shot at.

Eva M

2020-11-06 18:53:02 UTC

I think it was interesting even though I didn't hear the story, that he was brave and went without food for a while. Also I wonder why he drank at a young age.

Jennifer

2020-11-06 21:28:44 UTC

I wonder why louie was such a trouble makers when he was young. How did he survive when there was a shark and a attack at the same time?

Elyas

2020-11-06 21:28:55 UTC

I think at first Loui was really playful and not really scared of anything but as he got older he didnt do it as much. I liked the part also when they said " Loui came in to this world a fighter.

Felix Pod 6

fcasias20 — 2020-11-06 21:29:00 UTC

I think that was cool, if I was in the part when he was getting shot by the people I would have died. He was also such a bad kid, smoking at that age.

Brisa Lozano

2020-11-06 21:29:02 UTC

This made me think of a different story I had read when I was in 5th/ 6th grade because both books had a main theme of war. The writer's style was very, interesting, they had a different tone them other stories and a lot of deferent details.

D'Angelo

dpatterson161 — 2020-11-06 21:29:04 UTC

I think that this is funny and shocking because that hes smoking at age five. Like I dont know anyone whos smoked at age five i know people arond fifthy but not five lol.

Ryan L Pod 6

2020-11-06 21:29:11 UTC

I like it because because he was brave and went without food. I think it was interesting because I wouldn't go in the water in the sharks because I know that I wouldn't survive.

Janne

jromyen07 — 2020-11-06 21:29:21 UTC

I wonder how he started smoking and drinking at a very young age. It was surprising that he didn't eat for 47 days.

Roberto

rmaderavalenzuela03 — 2020-11-06 21:29:58 UTC

This made me think of war of all them. And it made me rember when me and my friends went to war with some other classmates for the playground.

Sage

seyth29 — 2020-11-06 21:30:31 UTC

I'm wondering how he started drinking and smoking at a very young age. Another thing that I noticed is how brave he is.

Anthony B I wonder what happen to the two men that where on the bout? I wonder what the little house looked like?

2020-11-06 21:30:51 UTC

Yoselin

2020-11-13 15:08:48 UTC

I wonder if the world in the book is different from our world. Why did he feel scared?

Anna

2020-11-13 15:08:50 UTC

This story you read to me and my classmates reminded me about the aircraft that went missing during the year 2014. The beginning of the story anyway. But besides that, I liked the book overall. And how descriptive it was. It made the story come to life.

Ms. Augustine

joliea2 — 2020-11-13 15:09:04 UTC

Jonas seems frightened but eager about something happening in December. The planes overhead seem mysterious. Why were they told over the loud speakers to leave their bikes?What are the "elevens"?"All of the Elevens were
excited about the event that would be coming so soon."

Hector

2020-11-13 15:10:51 UTC

This chapter of The Giver is interesting because the landscape workers and food delivery people who usually were in the community were missing. Where are they? The mood of this chapter is kinda scary.

Lezzlie

2020-11-13 15:11:25 UTC

I like this part when it says "Looking through the front window, he had seen no
people: none of the busy afternoon crew of Street Cleaners,
Landscape Workers, and Food Delivery people who usually
populated the community at that time of day."' because it was spook
no people was there.

Melanie

2020-11-13 15:16:00 UTC

I think this story is very interesting
because its very mystery's and i wonder what happen to Jonas.

Jesus

2020-11-13 15:57:29 UTC

I wonder why The air craft was going in the wrong way.And I wonder why Jonas was scared.

Marciano S

2020-11-13 15:57:40 UTC

I wonder why it was illegal to fly a air plain around the town? I wonder if somethings going to happen in December.

Giana G Pod/2

2020-11-13 15:57:45 UTC

In the story The Giver its interesting because of the events that happen in the story. I think he is also very brave . I wonder what is gonna happen to Jonas?

Israel R pod 2

iramirez293 — 2020-11-13 15:57:56 UTC

I wonder why Asher used the same explanation so many times. I wonder if anything is going to happen to Jonas.

Eber G pod 2

2020-11-13 15:58:00 UTC

I wonder why Jonas was scared.Why did Asher ran through the standard apology phrase rap-
idly, still catching his breath?

Jaslin E

2020-11-13 15:58:22 UTC

I wonder why he was scared about December. I also wonder why he was scared and didnt want to go on the planes.

Maddy

2020-11-13 15:58:23 UTC

I wonder why he was nervous for December to come? I wonder why they had to go inside because of the jets?

Ms. Augustine

joliea2 — 2020-11-13 15:59:07 UTC

I wonder why the pilot is going to be released? Does it mean he will be fired? There seems to be a suspenseful tone to this chapter. Who are the "elevens"?

Josie Padilla

2020-11-13 15:59:23 UTC

Jonas very scared at in the begining.I can relate to this beacause I would be scared too.

mayson

2020-11-13 15:59:34 UTC

What got me thinking is why humanity changed? Was it for the people or the government? What else got me thinking is why did Asher have to tell the whole class sorry for being late?

Edwin

2020-11-13 15:59:41 UTC

?I wonder why is it against the rules flying over the town? ?Why did he go in his house instead instead listen to the rules of the man in the speakers?

Noel

2020-11-13 16:22:38 UTC

I wander if the pilot on training made it.I can relate to the story because my aunt used to work at the airport.

Landon Holtzman (pod 3)

landonholtzman20 — 2020-11-13 16:57:24 UTC

I like the part when he described when the plane flew above. I wonder will the pilot be fired, or put into a different kind of training.

joseph pod 3

jhernandez02a — 2020-11-13 16:57:53 UTC

I wonder why that plane went back and fourth two times. I think that the plane went back and fourth because they might have got orders.

Iris S.

2020-11-13 16:58:03 UTC

I wonder why the aircraft flew above the community. But I think that if Asher speaks fast nobody would understand him.

Victor H pod 3

Aaron S

2020-11-13 16:58:20 UTC

I wonder if the pilot is going to get fired for what he did. What I liked in the story is that the people where trying to hold their laughs because Asher was always late.

Ariana M

2020-11-13 16:58:43 UTC

I like the author's writing because of how he described the others actions. like when everyone wanted to laugh because Asher was late to class and had to apologize in front of everybody.

Darian O

dolivas02 — 2020-11-13 17:00:07 UTC

i like how there is a a stream like jet flying, landing, unloading, and taking off. it could posibly be something that the US military have made. like the B-2 lockheed lancer.

rgonzales30 — 2020-11-13 17:01:15 UTC

Asher had to be strong everyone was being mean to him and being rude because he was late for everything.

Iris S.

jarredondoperez20 — 2020-11-13 17:47:09 UTC

I liked the part when the speaker was giving announcements the author put what he was saying in a different font and I like how story makes you want to keep reading more because of the way he describes some parts of the story with adjectives.

Connor Anderson

canderson228 — 2020-11-13 17:47:11 UTC

My first question is where did all of the people go? My second one is who is the person that was talking on the speaker?

Nadya

What does distraught mean?
I wonder why the loud speakers told everyone to leave their bikes.

Louis

lborrego18 — 2020-11-13 17:47:18 UTC

I like how this book is mysteries it makes you want to just keep reading because it told me about the charterers like Jonas because it tells you about his weird world.

Jose P

2020-11-13 17:47:29 UTC

I think the story was interesting because Jonas was trying his best and I wonder what will happen to Jonas. I also like the story because I wonder how much Jonas was scared when the air craft was flying

This story was very interesting like the plane got released and that seem mysterious. Also why did they people on the speaker say to leave to leave their bikes?

Anjana

2020-11-13 17:47:45 UTC

I liked the part when Jonas was describing how frightened he was in the beginning. He also, explained what frighted is, he said that frightened is deep, sickening feeling of something terrible about to happen.

Lena

2020-11-13 17:48:14 UTC

I wonder why they all trust the government? And why they don't give a second thought about what Happened?

I wonder what will happen to the jet piliot, and I also wonder why they are so excited to so the supplies being delivered.

I wonder why he was saying that frighten was no the right word when he was thinking. and I liked how the author didn't always use said.

I wonder how scared Jones was? and I like the part when his friend starts talking fast.

Where did all of the people go and who is talking on the speaker?

Mic'kayla

mjohnson1616 — 2020-11-13 18:45:24 UTC

I thought it was weird at first at how the government made everyone go inside into a building although it was just a jet that made a wrong turn. What I like is when Asher had to apologize and some of the kid had to hold in their laughs. I would probably want to laugh to!

Jannet SC

jsandovalcastaned15 — 2020-11-13 18:45:53 UTC

I like how Jonas is careful about language and that Asher apologized for being late. Also, I wonder why he is waiting for December.

Isaiah L.

2020-11-13 18:46:14 UTC

I wonder why the government controls the people, I also wonder why Jones was worried or scared when the jet flew over them.

Aeneas

2020-11-13 18:46:20 UTC

I like this story so far because in the story they were hanging out when the government went on the speakers to tell everyone to go into their houses. I also like how they talked about him watching his language and being on time unlike Ash, always being late and never saying things correctly.

Celestino

2020-11-13 18:46:21 UTC

I like how Asher explained why he came in late to his class and how he used a strong word called "distraught". Also, I wonder why Jonah is excited about December.

Maddox

2020-11-13 18:46:21 UTC

I like the part when Ashier is talked about. The reason I like those parts so much is because he is a comedic relief character and he is very funny.

Efrain ╚═( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)═╝

2020-11-13 18:46:24 UTC

I liked when Asher excused him self and it was the same excuse like other times. (つ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)つ

Eva

2020-11-13 18:46:25 UTC

I like the part when Asher came in and told the people why he was late, because the author told us that he was always late and said the same excuse every time. I also wonder why Jonas is eager about December, and what Elevens mean! I did not like why the pilot flew the plane close to land and traumatized kids.

Jolie

joliea2 — 2020-11-13 18:47:15 UTC

I wonder why Jonas is eager about December? The government seems to control the people. I think the pilot who flew overhead was kicked out of the society they live in.

Lindsey

2020-11-13 18:47:20 UTC

I wonder why the government would say thing on the loud speaker? Like what is the the information was private. Also Joenas's friend Asher had some speaking problems, or maybe he was just really worried. I wonder what it was?

Ivy

idavis08 — 2020-11-13 18:47:21 UTC

I like the part when Ashier had to say sorry to they class cause he was late. I like that part because I thought his reasoning was funny.

Aarinay

2020-11-13 18:49:14 UTC

I like the part when jonas when he was talking about how he was careful about his language unlike his friend asher. thought it was weird how the place they live is kinda of controlling like how the government made them go inside over the jet.

Aramina

I like how Jonas is careful about his language and wonder why he was so eager for December. I also wonder why the government would say things on the speaker.

Brisa

2020-11-13 21:26:22 UTC

This made me think of a poster my brother has in his room, of a U.F.O (I don't know if he has it.) It also made me wonder why the word "released" is so bad, that he got scolded for it.

Shayla P.

2020-11-13 21:26:31 UTC

I like how throughout the whole chapter Jonas was deciding how he was feeling. It gave us his inner thoughts which let us understand how he's feeling even though he isn't all that similar to us.

Anesto A.

2020-11-13 21:26:53 UTC

I like the part where Asher ran into class after being late. This made me think of the time my friend was late for school and tried to make a excuse

Miguel R

2020-11-13 21:27:06 UTC

I wonder why he is so happy for when December comes is something fun going to happen.

Anthony B

2020-11-13 21:27:08 UTC

I wonder why Jones is scared when the aircraft was flying over him. I also why did it fly over him.

I liked the part when he said it was scary because his town that is loud was empty and quiet. I also thought the part when the goverment was on the speaker would be scary because i would be scared.

I wonder where the aircraft came from? It sounded like the pilot shoud have not been there.

Ms. Augustine

joliea2 — 2020-11-13 21:27:35 UTC

I wonder why Jonas is eager about December? Is something exciting happening? It seems like the pilot who was released should not have been there. Who are the "elevens"?

Diego Yanos

dyanos01 — 2020-11-13 21:27:39 UTC

I wonder why he is eager about December coming up. Is something happening in December?

Roberto

rmaderavalenzuela03 — 2020-11-13 21:27:39 UTC

I wonder why they're so strict with the words. I also wonder who was the guy speaking on the speaker. I wonder how it felt to see the aircraft in the beginning of the story.

sage

seyth29 — 2020-11-13 21:28:02 UTC

I wonder where the aircraft came from. I also wonder why the government was talking on the speaker.

Elyas Romero

I wonder how scared or nervous Jones was? And I bet Asher was really embarresed for being late to class because that has happened to me as well. I

Janne

jromyen07 — 2020-11-13 21:28:22 UTC

I can relate to the story because in a sentence it says "He listened politely, through not very attentively, while his father took his turn, describing a feeling of worry that he'd had that day at work." It conncet to me because when my mom is yelling at me when we are far away, I couldn't hear my mom attentively. I can relate to the story because in a sentence it says "Instantly obediently, Jonas had dropped his bike on its side of the path behind the family's dwelling. It conncets to me because when I want to learn to ride my bike, my bike is always falling because I don't know how to ride it.

Ryan

2020-11-13 21:32:06 UTC

I wonder how scared Jonas was. I also wonder why the aircraft flew above the community.

Marciano S

Jesus

I wonder Why they wanted to kill her.Than i wonder how she survived being shot in the head.

Eber

2020-11-20 16:03:09 UTC

I like the part that she was brave and kept speaking up for women's education.Why did they shoot her?

Maddy

2020-11-20 16:03:10 UTC

I like how Malala was brave for saying what job she wanted. I wonder why the guy with the gun was shaking.

Noel

2020-11-20 16:06:41 UTC

I wonder why women were not allowed in schools. I think it is terrible to kill someone for their beliefs.

Landon holtzman pod 3

landonholtzman20 — 2020-11-20 17:06:21 UTC

I liked that it was powerful. I didn't like the part when Malala got shot because I believe that just because someone does not like something doesn't mean they have to impact other.

Darian pod 3

dolivas02 — 2020-11-20 17:06:22 UTC

If the bullet went through the left eye socket wouldn't it go to the brain and she would die? If it's a colt .45 then that would go through the entire head.

Nilofar A Pod: 3

2020-11-20 17:06:32 UTC

I like the part when she was speaking up for girls rights of going to school because so it is fair.

Joseph p3

jhernandez02a — 2020-11-20 17:06:41 UTC

I wonder why they thought that females weren't able to get a education. What does shooting her help them in any ways?

Shaila C P3

2020-11-20 17:06:42 UTC

I like the part when she wants to be a politician. I like how she describe her family how they look and who they are.

Victor H Pod: 3

vhernandezrosal11 — 2020-11-20 17:07:01 UTC

I wonder why back then they didn't want to let girls in school. Why was the guy shaking when he held the gun?

Ariana M

2020-11-20 17:07:58 UTC

I wonder why students would go to school 6 mornings a week. I also wonder why the man's hands were shaking even though he chose to shoot the girls.

connor anderson

canderson228 — 2020-11-20 17:58:31 UTC

I wonder how did her brain did not die. I also wonder how did the bullet got from her head to her shoulder.

Jimena A.

jarredondoperez20 — 2020-11-20 17:58:32 UTC

I liked how in the beginning of the story she introduces her family and she tells us there nick names. I also liked how she described the guys and she also told us what kind of gun it was.

Anjana

2020-11-20 17:58:38 UTC

I liked the part when Malala described how the classroom looked because now I could imagine what it looked like while I read . She also described what the words meant in her language, so that we all can know what it means.

Camila (POD4)

2020-11-20 17:58:39 UTC

This reminded me of Rachel's challenge. I like the quote that says,"Who Is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story

Nakyla

2020-11-20 17:58:40 UTC

I like the part when she said what she would do if a terrorist was to shoot her. I wonder how she can still see knowing the terrorist shot her in her left eye socket.

Rosa

2020-11-20 17:58:49 UTC

I wonder if the other terrorist found Malala's family. And I wonder if they ever found the people who shot Malala.

Lena Vigil

2020-11-20 17:58:50 UTC

I wonder why the back of the bus was open? And why didn't the bus driver do anything?

Nadya

2020-11-20 17:58:53 UTC

I wonder how she was able to survive when she got shot. I wonder what will happen next because this story makes it very interesting and scary.

Louis b

lborrego18 — 2020-11-20 17:59:16 UTC

I wonder why that back then they didn't let girls in school. Why did they kids have to go back to school every 6 mornings?

Khang

kpham09 — 2020-11-20 17:59:29 UTC

I wonder what will be happen in the next part. And I wonder why she is still alive when she got shot.

Jose

2020-11-20 18:01:13 UTC

I like the story because the girl was wondering if a terrorist group was going to shoot her and I wonder what will happen int he next part of the story because it is really interesting.

Stacy

2020-11-20 18:15:14 UTC

I wonder why the terrorists only wore white and l like the families nicknames.

Efrain Gomez

2020-11-20 19:00:27 UTC

I like the part where she was thinking what she would do if a terrorist approached her. I liked this because her using her shoe would be a chance to at least try to fight back.

Mickayla

mjohnson1616 — 2020-11-20 19:00:35 UTC

I like the part when Malala describes her surroundings when she just stopped because it rose curiosity and suspicion. One thing I wonder is why was the terrorist hands shaking? was he scared about shooting Malala? and why was he scared?

Lindsey Reyes

2020-11-20 19:00:37 UTC

I love the fact that Malala can describe everything very well. I also like how brave and how shes not scared to say or, want something different then others, and wasn't afraid to write a book to let people know.

Aeneas

2020-11-20 19:00:45 UTC

I wonder why the man's hand was shacking when he shot the gun. I am confused on how Malala survived a gunshot to the eye.

Eva

2020-11-20 19:00:47 UTC

I like the part where she tell us what would happen if she approached a terrorist, because she changed her mind about hitting them with her shoe because she wants to teach them a lesson/make a difference. And I like the part where she survives the shots even though they were serious. I dislike the part where the terrorist shot her just because she went to a female school.

Aarinay

2020-11-20 19:00:53 UTC

i like how the her dad was helping by having a school made for girls. i also like how strong she is for all the stuff she's been through at her age.

Aramina M

I like how Malala throws in words of her language. Also, I like how Malala has a close relationship with her friend.

Dennis

2020-11-20 19:02:03 UTC

I liked how she day dreamed because I can relate to that because I day dream about stuff that could happen but hasn't. I also like how she want afraid to do what she did.

Celestino

2020-11-20 19:03:04 UTC

I like how she was aware of her surroundings saying a terrorist would approach her. I also like how brave she was.

Brenden

bdostal03 — 2020-11-20 19:07:06 UTC

I loved the description of the way that she feels throughout the story. They are very descriptive in the ways that they feel such as fear or courage.

Gabriel

2020-11-20 19:13:34 UTC

She must have been a very special person to have a something like that happen and survive.It is that awesome that her dad wanted to make a school for girls.

Isaiah L

2020-11-20 19:16:20 UTC

I wonder why they didn't let girls go to school. I wonder how she survived that. I think their Persian
names are cool

D'Angelo

dpatterson161 — 2020-11-20 21:39:46 UTC

Why are they so mad for.? I notice the man was shaking and she was lucky because if he shot the other two bullets at her, she would be 100% dead.

Brisa

2020-11-20 21:39:58 UTC

I wonder why they wouldn't let girls work, or go to school. This made me think about how my mom had to work and was not really able to go to school so that she could support her family.

Miguel

2020-11-20 21:40:22 UTC

I wonder why they didn't want the girls to go to school. Why did they have to work and not go to school?

Anthony B

2020-11-20 21:40:42 UTC

Can she see and hear out of the eye and her ear that got shot? Why did they go after her and not her dad?

Sage

seyth29 — 2020-11-20 21:40:49 UTC

I wonder why they wouldn't let females go to school. I am also amazed by the bullet trajectory and how lucky she was.

Diego Yanos

dyanos01 — 2020-11-20 21:40:50 UTC

I wonder why most women have to be teachers or doctors. I also wonder is there no other jobs women can do.

Roberto

rmaderavalenzuela03 — 2020-11-20 21:41:58 UTC

I wonder why they did not like girls having there own schools or rights. I also wonder why they went for the girl and not the dad.

Why did a twelve year old name Mahmoid was in the Syrian arm also it is very sad that he has not friends.

I liked about the story was about the part when

Anna

I wonder why they were in war. I can relate to the story because when I was 5, I took secret routes.

Jesus

2020-12-04 16:04:18 UTC

I wonder why Joseph wasn't allowed to learn law cause he was Jewish.And I wonder why the Nazis treated him wrong.

Alexandra

2020-12-04 16:04:26 UTC

I don't like the part when they threw Josef and his little sister. and it's interesting that the Natzi never let the Jewish people do law.

Maddy

2020-12-04 16:04:39 UTC

I wonder how they found different ways home after every time after school? And I wonder why people stopped buying stuff from cuba?

Edwin

2020-12-04 16:04:40 UTC

I wonder they would take secret routes. ?Why did they go to school while War going on?

Josie

2020-12-04 16:04:40 UTC

I wonder why the Nazis would be so be mean ? I didn't like that the Nazis had to thow Joseph and is sister across the room.

ggaona07 — 2020-12-04 16:04:49 UTC

I wonder why they did not let the girls go to school? I wonder why the terrorists would only wear white? And I find it crazy that people would eat a kitten or a zoo animal to me that is just crazy.

Eber

2020-12-04 16:05:15 UTC

I did not like the part when they broke into Josef's house.I wonder why Nazis people didn't like Jewish people.

Annissa

afuentes04 — 2020-12-04 16:05:30 UTC

I like they were very detailed with their story. I thought thought that it was weird for the people to eat cats.

Alexa Ramirez

2020-12-04 16:05:44 UTC

The third story seemed very real. Mahamood would do things to stay invisible so he wouldn't be noticed. He lived in a dangerous area.

Jolie

joliea2 — 2020-12-04 16:08:01 UTC

I can't believe people would be so hungry they would eat a kitten or zoo animal. All the characters are going through very scary situations. I want to know more about how they escape.

Marciano

I wonder why they were eating cats. I wonder why the terrorists would only wear white

Darian Olivas pod 3

dolivas02 — 2020-12-04 17:03:22 UTC

I think it was a good idea to go to bombed buildings so they could go behind the twists and turns of shredded metals. if they had not gone to those buildings they would have gotten killed or captured.

joseph pod 3

jhernandez02a — 2020-12-04 17:03:22 UTC

I can relate to having the name Joseph. I think the story is interesting because of what the Cubans did for food.

Nilofar A Pod 3

2020-12-04 17:03:33 UTC

I think the story is amazing because there are three stories in one book the story about Mahmoud, Josef, and Isabel.

Ariana M

2020-12-04 17:03:42 UTC

I do not like the part when the people ate cats because they're supposed to be pets not food. Also, I like how the author described the 3 characters looks.

Victor H Pod 3

vhernandezrosal11 — 2020-12-04 17:03:52 UTC

Josef's story started out scary because at first he hears a door fall and then Josef was being pulled around his room. For Isabel\'s story it was kind of sad since they had to eat things they could find around there place.

The Cuban were eating cats because they had nothing really else to eat. I did not like the buildings in Syria because they looked like a homeless shelter.

rgonzales30 — 2020-12-04 17:07:34 UTC

Shaila C

2020-12-04 17:07:43 UTC

I can relate to the story kind of because Mahmoud would where a hoodie and I will were a hoodie sometime. I like how he describe what they were wearing.

Connor A

canderson228 — 2020-12-04 17:54:17 UTC

The barrel bomb or the mortar could go through the wall and level a building. Also wearing a black hoodie is too obvious.

Lena V

2020-12-04 17:54:43 UTC

Mahmnoud
I like how he goes a different route every day and is careful with what why and who he trusts. Its very brave how he goes to school while their bombs are going off and are people dyeing.
Josef
The writer style for this chapter made me picture him get thrown with his sister. And I love how he was holding on to her for his life and hers.
Isabel
I wonder why she would give food to a kitten when she needs it. And why don't the other country's try and help?

Nadya

2020-12-04 17:54:50 UTC

I can relate to Josef because I dream of things that I thought actually happen. I did not like the part were people had eaten cats because cats are supposed to be pets, not food.

Anjana

2020-12-04 17:54:51 UTC

I liked the part when it was giving the details of how Josef was feeling when he woke up. There was also a lot of feelings he felt and actions through out the story.

Rosa

2020-12-04 17:55:02 UTC

I wonder why the Cubans didn't have food or why the Jewish were going to be taken away. I also found interesting that in the first story the dad was being taken away for practicing something that he wasn't allowed to just because of his religion.

Jimena A.

jarredondoperez20 — 2020-12-04 17:55:06 UTC

I liked how the author starts the first chapter with "noises" because it made me wonder what was happening or what was going to happen.I also liked how the author described Isable because it put a picture in my head on how she looked.

Jose

2020-12-04 17:55:20 UTC

I wonder why the Nazis were throwing stuff and breaking. The Cubans were eating the cats because they were starving.

stacy

I wonder why the men in the first story were throwing and breaking things even though they were just there to take his father.

I felt bad for the characters. I don't like the part when they eat
the cat.

I felt bad for some of the characters because they were getting treated badly.I also felt bad because the characters are innocent and are getting treated bad.

Nakyla

I like how Mahmoud is aware of people around him and who he trusts.

Camila

2020-12-04 18:12:28 UTC

I wonder what sturmableling means or whatever the word was at the first chapter. I did not like the part when Isabel said that she could see that cats bones because it was sad.

Jannet SC

jsandovalcastaned15 — 2020-12-04 18:57:47 UTC

I like how all of the stories have specific details and their thoughts and feelings. I feel bad for the animals who were being eaten. Also, I wonder if Mahmound wanted any friends.

Aramina

2020-12-04 18:58:07 UTC

I think the most interesting story was the Syria one because I feel like it was more different from the other stories and it was more dangerous. I also wonder what they did with the rest of the family in Joseph's story.

Aarinay

2020-12-04 18:58:10 UTC

I wonder why all three stories were from kids point of view and not an adult. I wonder why all these attacks were happening.

Aeneas

I don't like the part when Joseph was getting attacked by Nazis because I would not like to be in that situation. I liked the part where Mahmoud

Efrain

2020-12-04 18:58:49 UTC

I wonder how it would feel knowing that you had to be laying low to avoid being attacked. The author was descriptive with how you need walls to hide behind or a barrel bomb could destroy you.

Lindsey

2020-12-04 18:59:20 UTC

What I like about Isabell's story is that she describes everything really well and so did the other stories. She also had a cat that that she saved since all of the animals were getting eaten.

Eva

2020-12-04 18:59:34 UTC

I wonder how the Nazi's were recruited, because who would want to kill people for no reason. I did not like the part where people were forced to eat animals, including cats and dogs, because it is sad people had to come to the point where they were going to eat household animals.

Celestino

2020-12-04 18:59:42 UTC

I liked how the author provided three different people who experienced terrible moments. I didn't like how the Nazis attacked Joseph.

Mickayla

2020-12-04 18:59:44 UTC

What caught me by surprise was how the author roles 3 people traumatic experiences into one. What caught me by surprise was when at the beginning of Joseph's story how it startled any person with the sound of the door being kicked in. If I were in that position I would definitely be scared and cry.

Isaiah L

2020-12-04 19:02:43 UTC

I did not like the part where they ate the cats because cats are my favorite animal. I wonder what they did to Joseph's family in the end. I also think it's sad that the kids had to go through all that.

Brenden

bdostal03 — 2020-12-04 19:07:31 UTC

The writers style was very interesting having three stories in one book. This shows that refugee stories are everywhere and they are all horrible depicting some of the worst traits of humanity.

Jennifer

2020-12-04 21:37:17 UTC

Isabel-Cuba- The people that lived in Cuba they had to eat cats because they were hungry. Mahmound-Syria: why would he send his brother a different direction when they were going home?

Diego

dyanos01 — 2020-12-04 21:37:22 UTC

I wonder how the cat taste when they ate it. I can relate to the story because the story said that she was like the cat and I am like my dog. I am like my dog because she is really hyper and I am hyper as well.

Brisa

2020-12-04 21:37:48 UTC

I can relate to Cuba because my Mama would always say that when she was younger food would only be beans or skinny chickens. The writers style was very descriptive, that I could make a picture in my mind of what was happening.

jromyen07 — 2020-12-04 21:39:33 UTC

I did not like the part when the Cuban People had to eat pets like dogs or cats. It's sad that Josef's family couldn't afford their old place anymore.

Elyas

2020-12-04 21:42:21 UTC

I did not like how they had Cuban people eat pets such as dogs and cats. Also I wonder how the cat tasted because I've never had one. And why the Nazis came into the home?

The Christmas Carol reminds me of The Grinch because how they both act. They act like they don't like Christmas.

I love this story because this one character sounds like Donald Duck and acts like him. He hates Christmas like the Grinch.

I wounder why scrooge didn't like Christmas. i also wonder why he didn't like to help the poor people. He was so rude to his nephew.

Olivia

ojimenez25 — 2020-12-11 16:59:35 UTC

I wonder if Scrooge had a different perspective about Christmas before his business partner died? Another thing is I noticed that people judged Scrooge because he was angry a lot and instead of asking why he was mad they hid or ran away.

Landon Holtzman

landonholtzman20 — 2020-12-11 16:59:43 UTC

I thought it was mean for Scrooge to yell at the gentlemen trying to help the poor, I like the part when Scrooges nephew tried arguing with Scrooge.

Shaila

2020-12-11 16:59:44 UTC

I wonder why Scrooge didn't want to help the people that needed help and he liked his money more than other people. I wonder why he don't like Christmas.

Alexa

2020-12-11 17:00:03 UTC

Scrooge was very closed minded and only cared about himself. Maybe there was nobody to tell him Christmas was important.

I wonder why the Scrooge didn't like Christmas, maybe it was because he had trauma? I also wonder why he was always so rude to his nephew.

I liked how the author made the characters special by how the way the spoke and this makes the readers know what kind of person they are. I also liked how the main character is Scrooge because it makes the story a little more interesting because he is always very mean.

Lena

2020-12-11 17:51:42 UTC

Its very interesting how he rather be alone then be with his family. Also if he is so rich why won't he give a second thought about helping the poor? I think of this is a very selfish act, But what lead him to be so selfish? (besides the point his friend died)

Camila

lborrego18 — 2020-12-11 17:59:39 UTC

I like how the book shows how scrooges life goes and how he didn't have much. because he only cared about himself during his life. I wonder if he had some one he would not be like this.

Mickayla

mjohnson1616 — 2020-12-11 18:49:56 UTC

When reading the story Scrooge was a very lonely man and didn't like people. Another thing I liked about the story was how the author describe scrooge like ice and how cold he was. My favorite quote was when the author said that "The cold in his eyes made them red.

What I didn't like about the story was how Scrooge was very lonely man and how he disliked people. I also wonder why he doesn't like Christmas.

Eva

2020-12-11 18:50:42 UTC

I don't like the part where Scrooge completely rejects his nephew, because who would do that to family? Also, I wonder why scrooge doesn't like Christmas, or anybody.

Brisa

2020-12-11 21:24:29 UTC

The writers style was very descriptive in a way that he described Scrooge as cold, even animals would hide from him. I also wonder why he's so cold, what made him so cold to other people.

Shayla P.

2020-12-11 21:36:04 UTC

I like how even though there was a picture of Scrooge they still gave a description that helped give the picture more life. "The cold inside him made his eyes red, and his thin lips blue, and his voice high and cross."

Anthony B

2020-12-11 21:36:27 UTC

I wonder why he doesn't like it when other people say marry Christmas? I also wonder why Scrooge gets in a bad mood when its Christmas time and I wonder if something happened when he was a kid around that time?

Why is he rude to his own nephew?
Scrooge was a selfish man, only thing he cared about was money and himself.

Elyas Romero

2020-12-11 21:36:53 UTC

I wonder why Scrooge is so mean and really doesn't care about other people's feelings by just being rude to them? I wonder what made him be mean in the first thing like if something happened to him that made him be mean?

Janne

jromyen07 — 2020-12-11 21:37:00 UTC

It mean that Scrooge's nephew said merry christmas and he said that you're too poor to be merry. That’s so mean! It is sad that Scrooge said that he only cared about his business and did not care about other people.

Lena v.

2021-01-22 17:49:28 UTC

It amused me how the author knew what question I had in my head and answered it about five seconds later in the book! I have a feeling that her friends story is Salamancas, and that her friend is just her imagination!

The writer's style was very different from other writers they use the word "nor" and when they wrote "the whole ding-dong country", I thought that was very amusing. This made me think of my mom because she was also named after someone.

lreyesmanzo24 — 2021-01-29 18:48:48 UTC

I wonder how Josh's dad thought of that nickname for him. I think that I would read this book, because its different then what I normally read, but I don't like that fact that they compare the twins to each other.

Efrain

2021-01-29 18:50:05 UTC

I liked the part when they talked about how dirty his bed is. I can relate to this because if you were to see my bed you wouldn't, you would see a mountain of trash on it.

Conner (my brother)

bdostal03 — 2021-01-29 18:50:45 UTC

i like the other twin because he is nice also he filthy.

Aarinay

2021-01-29 18:51:38 UTC

I like the writing style he uses,
I like how a lot of what he said rhymes. I like how the poem describes the people very specifically and gives them good personality.

Geovanni

2021-01-29 18:51:55 UTC

It was written like a poem and it was like a song.I like how the book was written.

Shayla P.

I like the different style of this story. It's different then rest because it is written differently.

I like how the poem describes the people very specifically and gives them good personality.I also like how the writer talks about what the characters like.

Brisa Lozano

2021-01-29 21:26:01 UTC

The writer's style was very VERY, different from other authors. His writing style smooth and in the groove (just kidding). I like the part when it says words like
D
o
w
n, because it was a cool way of writing and I hadn't seen writing like that in other books.

Janne

jromyen07 — 2021-01-29 21:26:55 UTC

I like how it’s not an ordinary book.
I don’t like how he doesn’t clean up his messes.

Elyas Romero

2021-01-29 21:27:30 UTC

I like how this book describes everyone. I like the part where they were talking about the kid loving Micheal Jordan.

I like the beginning when they rhyme because they did it so well, I also like Michael Jordan.

Greece

2021-01-29 21:28:13 UTC

It was interesting because the poem sounded like rap. Also showed his like vibe or style in the poem

Jennifer

2021-01-29 21:29:00 UTC

I like the writing styles that the author did. Why did they not give josh a better nickname.

Iris

2021-01-29 21:41:23 UTC

I like the style of wighting that the other has.and I like the original nickname

Hector

2021-02-05 15:12:51 UTC

Lezzlie

2021-02-05 15:12:52 UTC

I think the book was great. I would love to see the movie. because a lot of people do not treat Buck well. I also noticed that Buck did not like to be in a

Since I logged on zoom a bit later I don't know half of the story. But when listening to the teacher spoke, I knew I wasn't interested in the story.

I like the book because it was very

Zahira

zutohsims29 — 2021-02-05 15:15:08 UTC

What I enjoyed about the story is that it had a lot of detail about the kidnapping. I also enjoyed out it gave a me a mental picture of the kidnapping, I think its a great book in general.

Edwin

2021-02-05 15:59:08 UTC

I wonder why they were talking about weight of Buck. The book was interesting because they included every little details about about where Buck lived.

Eber

2021-02-05 15:59:17 UTC

I can relate to the story because I have a pet dog. The writer style was very interesting because I could understand everything perfectly and I want to watch the movie.

Noel

2021-02-05 15:59:54 UTC

The writer's style was very exacting and it is a good book to read if you like the writer's style. I like the book i want to read it because it is exacting because the he gets kidnap.

Josie

2021-02-05 16:00:06 UTC

The story is cool but I wouldn't read something like this. I would read something that has more emotion into it.

Maddy

2021-02-05 16:00:07 UTC

I think they were taking the dog because they want him for carrying stuff. I wonder why they treated him so bad if the want to use him for something that he has to be in good shape for.

Ariana

2021-02-05 16:00:10 UTC

The story is okay but i wouldn't read the book. it is not really the kind of book's I would read. I like comedy books and more of mystery's but what I like about the book is that in the book it has a lot of details in it.

Marciano

2021-02-05 16:01:43 UTC

I don't like the part when they were putting a rope around Buck's neck. I can relate to this book because I have a big pet dog.

I read this book a long time ago but I think I want to read it again. I love the descriptive writing and want to know more about Buck's adventure. I hate how the men were treating Buck. That is straight up animal abuse.

joliea2 — 2021-02-05 16:03:46 UTC

adrian

2021-02-05 16:09:08 UTC

What I thought was interesting was this book was a popular book that it was made into a movie. Also and he was kidnapped and the author was specific how he got kidnapped like he got choked.

Landon Holtzman pod 3

landonholtzman20 — 2021-02-05 17:08:49 UTC

I liked this book because it had action. I thought this book was interesting because the kid nappers were trying to purposefully hurt Buck and then get him fixed.

joseph p3

jhernandez02a — 2021-02-05 17:09:05 UTC

I like how Buck wanted to protect. I wonder why the judge had maid for protection.

Victor H (Pod 3)

vhernandezrosal11 — 2021-02-05 17:09:06 UTC

I like the book about Buck because he went on a adventure. I hate how the kidnappers tormented Buck and tossed him in a cage. Over all I think the book is cool and I wold absolutely read it.

Shaila C

2021-02-05 17:09:07 UTC

I like how the author is describing what the kidnappers are doing. I also like how the author used a dog going in a adventure.

Nilofar A

I think this is a book I would like to read. The reason is because I like books about animals and adventures. This book was very enjoyable to read. Also, this book had a lot of details about the characters and had action.

Aaron S.

2021-02-05 17:09:20 UTC

I would read this book because it is very entertaining. A part I liked in the book was when as soon as the kidnappers took the dog, the dog started to growl and tried to attack on of the kidnappers.

Alexa

2021-02-05 17:09:43 UTC

I enjoyed the part explaining his life before the kidnapping but didn't expect the part of the kidnappers abusing Buck.

Ariana M pod 3

2021-02-05 17:10:38 UTC

I like how Buck is a like generous dog. I also wonder why the kidnappers had to be so aggressive with Buck.

Camila

2021-02-05 17:48:57 UTC

I wonder what Chafing means? I thought the writer's style was very detailed.

Anjana

2021-02-05 17:49:14 UTC

I like the part when it was explaining how it looked around him. I also liked how he was also describing how each kidnappers acted.

Jimena

jarredondoperez20 — 2021-02-05 17:49:15 UTC

I like how this book is about a dog because I like books that are about animals it makes them more entertaining for me. I also didn't like when they were kidnapping the Buck because even if the story is not real it made me feel uncomfortable how the kidnappers were treating him.

Blake

2021-02-05 17:49:22 UTC

I didn't like that they took the dog. I feel bad for buck because he got token away form his family then getting beat up.And why didn't they try to train wolfs?

Gaby

2021-02-05 17:49:29 UTC

I like how the book has some action into it.I wonder why they are so abusive to to Buck.

Nadya

2021-02-05 17:49:36 UTC

I wonder why Manuel let the stranger choke Buck. Also, I can relate to this story because I also have dogs that are different sizes.

connor A

canderson228 — 2021-02-05 17:49:46 UTC

What time is this happening in? And this story can be happy or sad it can go ether way.

lena

2021-02-05 17:50:42 UTC

Why would they choke him and hurt him if they need him? I understand that the gardener needed money but why couldn't he do something else for money. Did he get fired?

Rosa

2021-02-05 17:52:52 UTC

I wonder why the kidnappers took the dog.And I also wonder why the kidnappers wanted his collar?

Louis B

lborrego18 — 2021-02-05 17:54:16 UTC

I wonder why there where mean to Buck but maybe there are scared of dogs. Or they just want to get it over with and get payed if they are or not.

Jannet SC

jsandovalcastaned15 — 2021-02-05 18:50:35 UTC

I would like to read this book because it is mysterious and it has a lot of action. Also, I wonder why they were so mean to Buck.

Eva M

2021-02-05 18:52:04 UTC

I wonder why they were so cruel to Buck, even though he didn't do anything to deserve that. I dislike the part when Buck gets hurt, because he didn't deserve that and he got hurt really bad. I wish Manuel left Buck alone and I wish that people got gold/money for doing something else. This story makes me want to hug my dog because I feel bad.

Lindsey R

lreyesmanzo24 — 2021-02-05 18:52:21 UTC

I wonder why wanted gold, I mean gold is nice and all but they didn't need to hurt poor little dogs. They also said that somethings wrong with Buck. One thing that is very confusing to me is, why did they mistreat Buck, what did he do that was so bad.

Aramina M

2021-02-05 18:52:48 UTC

I wonder why they were being so rough with Buck and why they wanted to kidnap him. I also think this would be a book that I would read because it sounds interesting with a lot of action.

Aarinay

2021-02-05 18:54:53 UTC

I wonder why they were being mean to Buck and why the kidnaped him. I also wonder why they wanted the gold so much. I think the book is very interesting because they make it sound very powerful at has a lot of action.

Efrain Gomez

2021-02-05 18:57:24 UTC

I understand that Manuel was trying to get paid for dog napping Buck. But if I was Manuel I would've waited for my Christmas bonus so that I already have some money.

Shayla Paz

2021-02-05 21:24:39 UTC

I think I would want to read this and watch the movie because it is detailed. Overall this book sounds interesting because it is one of the first dog movies that isn't just 'romance'.

Janne

jromyen07 — 2021-02-05 21:32:41 UTC

I don’t like how they torture the dogs. I don't like how they kidnaped Buck.

felix

I want to watch the movie again
because when i heard the book it sounds cool. what was it like living in a big mansion?

D'Angelo

2021-02-05 21:33:17 UTC

I wonder why the kidnappers took the dog. But I wonder why was the kidnapper so mean to Buck

Brisa L.

2021-02-05 21:33:24 UTC

This made me think of my mom, when she was little she would clean a large house and take care of the kids of a pilot or someone like that (I don't remember who). The writer's style described how things looked and happened very well, like when Buck was choked and we he bit the man's hand.

Greece

2021-02-05 21:33:26 UTC

I actually wonder why the dog nappers were mean to Buck. Why did the dog nappers wanted to take the collar

Diego

dyanos01 — 2021-02-05 21:33:27 UTC

I wonder why the kidnappers had to be so aggressive with Buck. I know that the kidnappers wanted Buck because they wanted to him make him a dog sledder to take them to find gold.

Elyas Romero

2021-02-05 21:33:27 UTC

I don't like how they treat the dogs at all. I would like to watch the movie because it seems pretty adventoruous.

Iris

2021-02-05 21:35:45 UTC

I like the style of the writer because it makes you interested. I like how the writer adds a lot of detail about the home Buck lived in. .

Jennifer

2021-02-05 21:43:28 UTC

I wonder why the kidnappers treated Buck bad. I also wonder why the kidnappers want his collar.

hector

2021-02-19 15:17:36 UTC

he sems like a trouble maker because he just blew up a school bus. he gets i a lot of trouble because like how do you blow up a school bus.😂😂😂

Jolie

joliea2 — 2021-02-19 15:17:36 UTC

I usually don't read fantasy books but this book sounds entertaining. The first part of the book it seems like he is talking to the reader. I learned about Greek Mythology in middle school and I love the dramatic stories of gods. I like how the story is relatable to students. There seems to be some foreshadowing with Mr. Brunner- he seems to know something about Percy.

Jesus

2021-02-19 16:06:45 UTC

I like the part where he said he blew up a school bus and get expelled.And I wonder why the teacher got mad cause he said "Shut up" to the students when he was trying to hear what the teacher was saying.

Eber

2021-02-19 16:06:59 UTC

I would read this book because it is related to Harry Potter and I like harry potter.Also, I wonder why he was a trouble maker.

Marciano

2021-02-19 16:07:01 UTC

I wonder why he was a trouble maker. I would like to read this book before i see the movie.

Pod 2

ggaona07 — 2021-02-19 16:07:04 UTC

He seems Kinda like a bad kid because he pointed the cannon at a bus. In my mind I wonder why would you do something Like that? I would read this book because of the mysteries.

Maddy

2021-02-19 16:07:10 UTC

I wonder why he was such a trouble maker. And I wonder if he would not get in so much trouble if he did not have the abilities.

Edwin

2021-02-19 16:07:38 UTC

I wonder why things would go wrong when he was in a field trip. I wouldn't read this book because it doesn't have all of the details like in the movie.

Adrian

2021-02-19 16:08:03 UTC

He must be crazy because he tried to blow up a bus. And I wonder why he gets in a lot of trouble.

This is a book I would like to read because it's adventurous. I like how the writer's style is very detail about his life.

Aaron

2021-02-19 17:06:06 UTC

I like the part when Percy said "will you shut up" he said it too loud and they heard him. I would not read this book its not that I don't like it its just that it not something that interests me.

landon Holtzman

landonholtzman20 — 2021-02-19 17:06:07 UTC

I liked the part when he described the teacher he liked. I though it was interesting that Percy "exposed" himself over writing.

Nilofar A

2021-02-19 17:06:11 UTC

I wonder why Percy was a trouble maker. I would like to read this book because it is related to Harry Potter. Also, I watched the movie on Disney Plus and it was a very good movie to watch.

Victor H (pod 3)

vhernandezrosal11 — 2021-02-19 17:06:12 UTC

I like that Percy blew up a school buss. I wold absolutely read the book because how the characters are and because of the fantasy.

joseph p3

jhernandez02a — 2021-02-19 17:06:36 UTC

I like the how the story is in 1st person. I like how he was going to start a fight on the school bus.

It seemed that Percy was a real trouble maker and in the story has a lot of problems.

Ariana M p3

2021-02-19 17:07:24 UTC

I think I would read this book because of the comedy scenes written in it. I also wonder why Percy always had bad luck on school field trips.

Blake

2021-02-19 17:54:45 UTC

I wonder why Mr Brunner doesn't seem like he likes Persey that much. Why did his parents let him go to that school or was he forced?

Rosa

2021-02-19 17:54:49 UTC

When Percy said that he was a half blood it kinda reminded me of the Harry Potter movies.And I wonder whats going to happen in the next chapters.

Camila

2021-02-19 17:54:50 UTC

I think I would defiantly read this book because I watched the movie and it was really good. I liked the part when it said something that Grover had a muscle disorder but when it said that you should have seen him run when it was enchilada day because it thought it was funny.

lena

2021-02-19 17:54:54 UTC

It caught my attention how in the opening Percy how he warns you as if the things in the book are real. It surprised me how much detail is in the book! It feels like Mr Burner keeps giving him clues and hints, You could tell Burner cared a lot for Percy.

Kevin Hergert pod 4

khergert01 — 2021-02-19 17:55:04 UTC

I would probably like this book because it seems interesting and would be fun when he find out his power.

2021-02-19 17:55:13 UTC

I like the part when Percy was describing how the teachers looked and the students in his bus.

Nadya

2021-02-19 17:55:16 UTC

What does dyslexia mean? Also, I wonder what caused Percy to become a troublemaker.

Jimena A.

jarredondoperez20 — 2021-02-19 17:55:25 UTC

I like how in some parts Percy tells us things about him self for example his age and how he has never gotten a higher score than a c. I also like how he describes his classmates.

Anjana

2021-02-19 17:55:30 UTC

I like the part when Percy was describing how the teachers and students acted like also how they looked like. I wonder if Percy cause more problems?

Khang

audrina

2021-02-19 17:56:11 UTC

This book was very entertaining and funny. Also in the beginning when he was describing his favorite teacher it made me think about my favorite teacher who would let us play games and was a fun teacher to learn with.

connor A

canderson228 — 2021-02-19 17:58:54 UTC

I thought that it was interesting because it talks about kronos and how he ate his kids. I wonder who teaches the class because I don't know.

Eva Muniz

emuniz20 — 2021-02-19 18:54:44 UTC

I wonder why the kids like to bully Grover, because it doesn't look like he did anything to them. I like the part where he describes Nancy's bright red hair and her red embarrassed face. I think this story is interesting because it described how Kronos ate his kids and went deeper into the story about Kronos (Greek mythology). I like the foreshadowing, and I think I would read this book because I like the description. I think the main character is a bit suspicious, because he talks about how he just got off probation, and at one part he wanted to punch Nancy/kill her.

Mickayla J.

mjohnson1616 — 2021-02-19 18:55:01 UTC

I like at how the beginning of the story How the author is trying to warn us that this book may not be a book to read if you were half-blood. I wonder why the teacher looked at the stele like that.

Aarinay

2021-02-19 18:55:13 UTC

I like how at the beginning the story sounds like he's talking to the readers kind of like a diary. I found it interesting on how this book talks about kronos and him eating hes kids as greek manology

Dennis

2021-02-19 18:55:16 UTC

I wonder why they were born half bloods then you shouldn't read if you feel something. I also wonder why Percy had bad luck on field trips. I also like how the story caught my attention. I would read this book because it was interesting.

Ivy Davis

idavis08 — 2021-02-19 18:55:20 UTC

I like the part when its goes form "Ill murder them" to "i like peanut butter " in under a second. I like it because, it was funny

Jannet SC

jsandovalcastaned15 — 2021-02-19 18:56:07 UTC

I wonder why Percy did all that bad stuff and what was going through his head. Also, I noticed the book was written by first person.

Lindsey R.

lreyesmanzo24 — 2021-02-19 18:56:39 UTC

I wonder why there was something wrong with being a half-blood? I also wonder who or what is trying to kill the half-bloods? I feel like i would read this book because it seem like something I don't usually read, plus I love how detailed it is.

Aramina M

2021-02-19 18:57:13 UTC

I think I would read this book because its funny and interesting. I thought it was interesting because I wonder why Percy was doing all that bad stuff and why the author said to not read it if your half blood.

Efrain Gomez

I would read this book because I sometimes like to read Greek mythology. I did not like the part in the trailer when they DON'T show the wing force ones.

Devin

2021-02-19 18:58:02 UTC

I'm not interested in these types of book but Percy as a character make me want to read more.I found him interesting because he like a trouble maker.i

Analei

aalvarado11b — 2021-02-19 19:02:23 UTC

I like this story because it was very interesting and Percy would always get in a lot of trouble and this could help him in his future.

Elyas

2021-02-19 21:34:50 UTC

I think it is discusting how Kronos eats his kids. I want to know how Mr. Brunner even knows all of this or is it just make belief.

Brisa L.

2021-02-19 21:34:58 UTC

This made my think of how we also went to field trips and learned about new things. (We can't anymore for now) The writer's style was very interesting and they had a relatable tone, especially since we're one grade above the kids in this book. (Level 7)

Shayla P.

2021-02-19 21:35:00 UTC

I like how even though this story is fantasy they make it seems so real. I think that is a smart way to draw in readers.

Diego

dyanos01 — 2021-02-19 21:35:02 UTC

I liked how he accidentally blew up the school bus. This book sort of reminded me of Harry Potter.

Janne

jromyen07 — 2021-02-19 21:35:03 UTC

I like how there are many gods like Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon. I like when they said her name Nancy Bobofit because her last name sounds like Boba Fett. Boba Fett is a character from Star Wars.

sage

2021-02-19 21:35:13 UTC

I think I would read this book because of the comedic part of it and how in that there is still information.
I also think I would like this book because I can learn about Greek mythology.

Jennifer Lopez

2021-02-19 21:35:16 UTC

Im not really interested in this book but Percy sounded like a real troublemaker. I wonder why Percy was doing ball stuff all the time.

Daniel

dhernandezcastro13 — 2021-02-19 21:39:33 UTC

I think I will be interested in this book because I like how this story is starting because it explains about what thing are going on and you can just visualize it in your mind. I could imagine them standing in the museum and the guide talking about Chronos.

felix

fcasias20 — 2021-02-19 21:40:43 UTC

I wonder why he blow up a school bus? What kind of god eats his own kids?

Anna

acole291 — 2021-03-05 15:04:40 UTC

I am in love with this story! The story line in general is very entertaining. If I were to recommend a book/movie, this would be one of them. I do have one question though, who came up with the story line? Did the writer experience it, or did they make it up?

Ms. Augustine

joliea2 — 2021-03-05 15:13:57 UTC

Camp Green Lake sounds terrible. Camp should be fun and instead these kids are in the middle of the desert! I think Stanley's family history is funny. I wonder if the curse is real and if so, will it be broken? Why was Stanley arrested?

Lezzlie

2021-03-05 15:14:39 UTC

because there's dangerous bugs and scorpions and that doesn't sound as fun.

2021-03-05 15:14:45 UTC

I've seen the movie but not read the book. I recommend the movie because it is good. If I was in that situation. I would try to stay away from the animals.

Nevaeh D

ndeleon28 — 2021-03-05 15:14:49 UTC

I really liked the story I've never read the book but I've watched the movie. But I'd read the book because it sounds good from the first chapter. I wonder how the creator came up with it did it happen to him or just his imagination.

This made me think of the time of when i saw the movie. The desert is a place where they dig to find treasure but there is a lot of venomous snakes when they find the treasure. I read this book a few years ago.

I like the part where he said That if you get bitten by a yellow lizard you'll die and I never knew that..I would read this book because I want to know more about it.

Marciano S

2021-03-05 15:59:51 UTC

I would want to read the whole book because I already saw the movie. I wonder why its called "Camp Green Lake" when there is no lake.

Maddy

2021-03-05 15:59:54 UTC

I wonder if anyone will rename Camp Green Lake? I wonder what got him arrested?

Ariana

2021-03-05 16:00:16 UTC

I like the movie and I will like to read the book I like the author's kinda writing I just wish that I read the book before I seen the movie.

Eber

2021-03-05 16:00:28 UTC

I like the part when Stanley looked out the dirty window. He couldn't see a lake and hardly anything was green because at first it sounded like it was green and wasn't going to be that bad but then it was a total surprise.I would like to read this book because it has mystery and its funny.

Pod 2

ggaona07 — 2021-03-05 16:00:36 UTC

I liked the story But I have never read the book I saw the movie though. This sounds like a place I would not like to go to because of all of the dangerous bugs.

Adrian

2021-03-05 16:03:55 UTC

This made me think of the movie because I never read the book. In the movie it shows that his dad is an inventor and that if you get bit by a lizard you'll die.

Nilofar A

2021-03-05 17:00:08 UTC

I like the story of how it is, But I wonder of how the movie will be like because I haven't watched the movie. In the first chapter it says he is going to Camp Green Lake but there is no Camp Green Lake which is funny.

jhernandez02a — 2021-03-05 17:00:25 UTC

I like the part where the shoes fell on his head. I wonder why they allow that type of camp as a punishment.

Victor H (pod 3)

vhernandezrosal11 — 2021-03-05 17:00:43 UTC

I like that when something bad happens they blame it on their grandfather. I also like that the grandfather stole the pig.

Alexa

2021-03-05 17:01:00 UTC

I don't like the part were they were snakes and few water like a cup of water a day. they would have to dig each day until the dark.

Landon Holtzman

landonholtzman20 — 2021-03-05 17:01:06 UTC

I wonder why did his great grandfather steal the pig? I like the part when they try to steal the water truck to escape but then actually wreck it in one of the holes they dug.

I enjoyed the part with the snake and the scorpion.

rgonzales11a — 2021-03-05 17:01:15 UTC

I like when they dug a hole to find the treasure.

Camila

2021-03-05 17:37:56 UTC

I thought the part when he said that there was no lake at Camp Green Lake was funny. This made me think of one time when we were at school and we read a little bit of the book

2021-03-05 17:38:10 UTC

I like how in the story how he described how is Grandfather stole the pig.
I like how descriptive it is.

Madison Schnur

2021-03-05 17:50:20 UTC

I like the part when Asher came in and told the people why he was late, because the author told us
that he was always late and said the same excuse every time.

2021-03-05 17:51:02 UTC

Why was Stanley arrested?
I wonder why Stanley's great- great grandfather stole the pig and why they would always blame him when something went wrong.

Jimena

jarredondoperez20 — 2021-03-05 18:10:44 UTC

I like the part when the guard was telling Stanley what he needs to do because it gave me an idea on how the camp works. I also wonder why Stanley is so unlucky.

Khang

kpham09 — 2021-03-05 18:50:45 UTC

I wonder why the great grandfather steal the pig. and I also wonder what will happen in the next chapter.

Mickayla

mjohnson1616 — 2021-03-05 18:57:44 UTC

I liked this story because it talked about how this boy named Stanley Yelnats and how he was always getting into trouble. If I were in that situation, I probably wouldn't be able to last time out in the desert digging holes

Ivy

idavis08 — 2021-03-05 18:57:52 UTC

I generally like the book Holes because of the jokes the characters names etc. I my favorite part of this book is probably then ending of it. Also fun fact kinda my favorite character in Hole is Zero.

Devin Blanton

2021-03-05 18:57:59 UTC

I like the part when the writer made it feel like Stanley was talking to us. Also I loved the humor the writer added

Dennis

2021-03-05 18:58:02 UTC

I wonder why the grandfather stole that pig. I also like how they named their son after them because that happens in my family.

Aramina

2021-03-05 18:58:13 UTC

I wonder why Kate Kissin Barlow robbed the grandfather instead of killing him like she did to other people. I think I would read the book then watch the movie because this seems like something that I like to read. I also thought that their names were interesting.

I like this book because it gives specific details. I also wonder what will happen in the next chapter.

lreyesmanzo24 — 2021-03-05 18:58:33 UTC

I wonder why Stanley's great grandfather stole a pig from a Gypsy. Also what did Stanley get arrested for but it must not be so bad, I mean they did give him the chose to go to jail or the camp, but the camp is pretty bad so I would have to read more to understand.

cristopher

2021-03-05 18:58:42 UTC

What I liked about the book was the he called his great great grampa mean names. And dug a hold to get to the chest

Efrain Gomez

2021-03-05 18:59:18 UTC

What I liked about the book is that it reminds me about the movie. I wonder why Kate didn't kill Stanley's grandfather.

Analei

aalvarado11b — 2021-03-05 18:59:36 UTC

I like this book because they have a very interesting name for Stanley's Great Grandfather I also find it funny when every time things go wrong Stanley can hear his grandfathers name.

Aarinay

2021-03-05 18:59:43 UTC

I like the part where Stanley was talking about how he was blaming his grandfather and how it was a joke in his family.

Eva M

emuniz20 — 2021-03-05 19:00:21 UTC

If I was in Stanley's situation, honestly I would be a little scared, because the place he is going doesn't sound pleasant, also he is a troublemaker so that doesn't change my opinion. I think it is interesting how Stanley has the same name as his whole family basically. Also, I wonder why the family believes in a curse, and why Stanley's dad stole a pig from a Gypsy. I would read this book (again), because it seems interesting and fun!

I wonder why Camp Green Lake is for the bad boys, I also wonder why Stanley's great grand father stole a pig.

Janne

jromyen07 — 2021-03-05 21:24:23 UTC

It’s cool how he’s last name is his first name backwards. I wonder if Camp Green Lake is a real place. I wonder how digging a hole will turn you into a good boy.

Brisa L.

2021-03-05 21:32:48 UTC

This made me think of when my mom was in Mexico the wouldn't steal pigs but they have some. Why did they handcuff the kids on the buss, the handcuffs must have hurt.

Shayla P.

2021-03-05 21:32:58 UTC

I like how whenever something went wrong they would blame it on their great-grandfather. It seems like that would be an easy escape rather than actually trying to explain the terrible luck.

D'Angelo P

I like how they dug a hole for treasure. I also wonder why the great grandpa stole the pig.

I wonder why his father also has the same name as him. The story sounds interesting and why was the camp in the middle of the desert?

felix

fcasias20 — 2021-03-05 21:33:54 UTC

There was a part when he would use his imagination to pretend to be at camp and when I was younger I would play with my toys and pretend. I can relate to the story kind because my dad and I have the same name.

Diego

dyanos01 — 2021-03-05 21:33:56 UTC

I thought it was funny that his first name was spelled his last name backwards. I would play with my stuffed animals as well.

I like how they use delinquents for their own needs. The writer's style is very Intriguing and wonderful.

sage

2021-03-05 21:34:18 UTC

I wonder why Stanely got blamed even though the police knew that Zero stole the shoes. I also thought this was interesting that the family blamed the great grandfather for anything bad that happened.

Elyas

2021-03-05 21:35:02 UTC

I dont like how the kidnappers treated him so poorly. Why did Stanley got in trouble when they knew it wasnt him.

Lezzlie

2021-03-12 15:15:49 UTC

I like the part where he says that to his Mom and brother Shawn he was always William and says "I wish I would continue to laugh at Shawn's dumb jokes." Shawn is longer there to make him laugh.

what is going to happen it frustrates me not knowing

2021-03-12 15:47:55 UTC

I can relate to the story in the part when he said I have never been in an earthquake. but the ground definitely felt like it opened up and ate me.I can relate because I have never been in a earthquake But I have felt the same way.The writers style was very descriptive because I understand ed everything perfectly.

Anna

acole291 — 2021-03-12 15:48:16 UTC

This book itself was very intriguing, but also filled with emotion as well. I would say I did enjoy the book when just reading the 9 pages of the book. I do however have one question, who was the person who shot Shawn and why did they do it?

Nilofar A

2021-03-12 16:50:00 UTC

I like the first part of the story when he introduced his name Willam Holloman because most books that I have read didn't really introduce their names. Also, I wonder who killed William's brother Shawn.

Victor H (pod 3)

vhernandezrosal11 — 2021-03-12 17:33:46 UTC

I wonder who was the person that killed Williams´s brother. Also, The story starts out nice William introducing himself and after it just starts to get bad.

Jimena A. pod 4

jarredondoperez20 — 2021-03-12 17:47:24 UTC

I like how the author starts the story because he tells us a little about him self for example his name and how he was only William to his mother, brother, and Shawn. I also like how this story is based on a true story because this can maybe be relatable to someone.

Luis f

lfernandez141 — 2021-03-12 18:04:23 UTC

Its interesting because i want to find out who killed Shawn

I like the way this story was written and the words the author uses. Also, I would definitely read this book I like it so much there was a lot of mystery and I wonder who killed Shawn I will keep reading to find out. It also made me love my siblings/family even more.

Aarinay

2021-03-12 18:44:40 UTC

I like this poem because it read like a story. I also like the description of the pain because you can feel the authors heart through the words. I like that it seems like a newer poem.

Eva M (pod 5 Eagles)

emuniz20 — 2021-03-12 19:14:47 UTC

Why did the people kill his brother? I don't like how some parts of this book are sad, but I hope this bool has a meaning towards the brother's death. I think this book would be good to read, because it would keep me entertained. The writer's style was a bit different, because of the word choice. Over all, the start of this book sounded scary but intriguing.

Jennfier

2021-03-12 19:19:24 UTC

The story starts out nice, William introducing him self and after, it just starts to get bad. Why is the reason that the people killed his brother.

Shayla P.

I like the different type of writing. I think its written different from the usual stories but that's what makes it unique.

Janne

jromyen07 — 2021-03-12 21:27:38 UTC

I liked how he introduces him into the book. I also liked how he is telling about his childhood probably and I also liked how this book can get emotional sometimes.

Anesto

I like the author's style of writing. I wonder how his brother being killed affected his mood.

Audrina

2021-03-14 22:42:22 UTC

I like how he started in the beginning of how was telling who he was and what name to call him by. I also liked the part “I Don't Know You,”. The “the sadness” part was amazingly descriptive.

Nadya

Landon Holtzman (lang way down)

landonholtzman20 — 2021-03-17 15:44:58 UTC

I Thought this book was sad but it showed truth and the writing style was interesting. I wonder why he wrote a poem like story about his brother, and what happened to him.

I wonder who the two people are. I think maybe it is her parents or some kind of family member or friend.

Giana G Pod_2

2021-04-09 14:57:55 UTC

The beginning of the book is sad. . It made me wonder what happened to her parents I would like to read this book because it would make me laugh in some parts of the story. But its also kinda like a mystery Of like what happened.

Josie

The book has a lot of details but it is also sod the part of the book i like the most is when she said not every one likes fat duck's also is the main person a girl or a boy?

Adrian

I would read this book because its interesting not sad but funny at the same time. I like the part when she gets cops on her because she's running away from them,

Its a sad story just to think that they people you love most are gone. It is a bit disturbing to think about what happened. I wonder what kind of accident happened?

Nilofar A

2021-04-09 15:58:00 UTC

I would read this book because I would want to know what happened to his parents. This book didn't really decribe what the characters were doing.

Shaila C

2021-04-09 15:58:14 UTC

I like how the writer describes how the chocolate gets hard. I also liked the book because it is talking about his family maybe troublemakers.

She was scared about what had happen to her family and that they were going to be gone forever, and how she was alone.

landonholtzman20 — 2021-04-09 16:03:20 UTC

It's really disturbing and terrible to even think of your parents being dead. I feel that a lot of people can relate to this story. And I wonder if there was a car accident or a different type of accident accident.

2021-04-09 16:46:09 UTC

It was weird to know that dipped ice cream had wax in it. It was sad that Willow mom and dad had an accident.

I like the part when Willow said, " We eat soft ice cream". I wonder how many friends Willow has?

Connor A pod 4

canderson228 — 2021-04-09 16:46:26 UTC

One of my favorite thing is how well they described the ice cream and the chocolate. I think I would read this book because of the descriptiveness and the topic.

Lena

2021-04-09 16:46:27 UTC

I appreciate the way Willow describes humans, she puts in a very funny way. I admire how she puts so much detail into her words, She does so well at describing I can picture everything she is talking about. In the last part of story it shows how in life things can be sweet for a moment and then turn very sour the next.

Nadya

2021-04-09 16:46:30 UTC

I would read this book because it can teach you to always cherish those people around you because you might not know when they disappear. A quote I liked was, "We are all imperfect."

Nakyla

2021-04-09 16:46:31 UTC

I think I would read this book because it sounds mysterious and sad. This made me think about one of my favorite TV shows and how her parents also got in an accident.

Jimena

jarredondoperez20 — 2021-04-09 16:46:40 UTC

I liked how when the police officers asked Duke a question he started to stutter because it gave me an idea on how nervous he was. I also wonder what kind of accident his parents were in.

Camila

2021-04-09 16:47:03 UTC

I wonder what the word muffled means. I think the writers style was very descriptive. I also liked the part where she said the ingredients of the ice cream.

Stacy

2021-04-09 16:47:21 UTC

I think I would read this book because the concept of the story and the conflicts the MC will face seem like something i would like to read.

Kevin H pod 4

khergert01 — 2021-04-09 16:48:33 UTC

I like how they describe the setting.

Khang

I like the part when they sit in the forest and eat ice cream. I would read this book because of the topic

Aramina M

2021-04-09 17:49:43 UTC

I think I would read this book because I would like to find out what happens after she found out that her parents had died. If I was in this situation I would be lost and sad because I couldn't imagine losing my parents.

Luis Fernandez

lfernandez141 — 2021-04-09 17:50:09 UTC

It seemed that Percy was a real trouble maker and in the story has a lot of problems.

Mickayla

mjohnson1616 — 2021-04-09 17:50:23 UTC

I liked how the story makes the story makes you get interested. If I was in the situation of knowing I just lost both of my parents, I don't think I would ever be able to recover from what happened. I also like when she describes her and her friend sitting at the park eating ice cream. The writers style is a bit more traumatic especially just to start off the story.

Lindsey Reyes

lreyesmanzo24 — 2021-04-09 17:50:32 UTC

I like how curious willow is it shows how much she pays attention to things. I also think I would read this book because it seems so interesting.

Brenden

bdostal03 — 2021-04-09 17:51:53 UTC

Although I barely saw the story I could really feel the emotion from the ending as she received the news about her parents. I couldn't imagine the grief and swirling thoughts going through her brain.

Dennis

2021-04-09 17:52:23 UTC

If I was in her shoes i would be scared because the cops are at my house. I also like the author choice of words. I also like how it was kinda like a mystery. But overall I like this and would like to read something like it

Eva M

emuniz20 — 2021-04-09 17:52:31 UTC

I wonder why her parents died, and I wonder how she is going to react with the news. I think I might read this book, because of how the beginning was calm and happy and then towards the middle of the book it got juicy. I like how Willow is not Vietnamese but she speaks it, and I like how she is very gifted. If this situation with my parents happened to me, I would be devastated. This story was sad, because Willow's parents died.

Gabriel

2021-04-09 17:52:34 UTC

This makes me wonder what the bad news was. And if they did some thing bad or something bad happen the them.

Jannet SC

jsandovalcastaned15 — 2021-04-09 17:53:47 UTC

It's really sad that her parents died. Also, I wonder how they died. I would read this book because it seems misterious.

jromyen07 — 2021-04-09 20:26:41 UTC

I like how it says nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. If she speaks Vietnamese, is she living in Vietnam?

Shayla P.

2021-04-09 20:26:45 UTC

I like how in the story it describes the ice cream in such a way that makes me want to have some of my own. “Keeps the vanilla prisoner” That is a really cool way to describe it.

I thought it was cool how she can speak a different laguage than her own. I would read this book because it looks interesting and fun.
