     I am currently reading Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. I am on page 42. In the book Ron, Fred and George Weasley took their father’s car and flew to Harry’s house and took him to their house. When they got home Mrs. Weasley came out and scolded them for flying the car. As their punishment they had to de-gnome the garden. 

     While I was reading I was wondering if Harry might have had regret about leaving the Dursley’s. I also wondered why Ron said the house “Wasn’t much,” when Harry said “This is the best house I’ve ever been in.” When I was reading I noticed that Harry seemed shy at the Weasley’s even though he wasn’t that shy with them at school, maybe he was shy because he was unexpectedly picked up in a flying car. When Harry noticed all the orange things in Ron’s room to represent his Quidditch team I wondered when that team was from. When they had to de-gnome the garden I visualized a GIANT garden, because it said it was a big garden with a lot of weeds, with a bunch of stubborn gnomes, Mrs. Weasley said she didn’t  want to see a single gnome when she came out to inspect it, who walk kind of slow and talk in deep voices or really high pitch voices .

Sincerely,

     I am now reading Refugee by Alan Gratz. I’m on page 192 right now this book is split into three different stories Josef, 1930’s in Germany, Isabel, 1994 in Cuba and Mahmoud, 2015 in Syria. So far Josef is on a boat at Cuba and his father had been taken away by Natzis earlier on in the book, so he is kind of traumatized. Josef also has a younger sister and a mother. Isabel is lost at sea trying to escape Cuba with her family aswel her best friends family. After floating into the Bahamas they try to get back on course for Florida. Mahmoud and his mom are lost with only one life jacket to keep them aflote and they had to give is baby sister to a shrager on a boat that wouldn’t let them on. His father and brother are far from them because he and his mom grabbed onto the boat and his father missed it.  

     My prediction for Josef is that his father will be taken away since he tried to commit sucide by jumping into the water off of the boat. For Isabel I think that they will make it to Florida and all be safe in the boat. I think that Mahmoud and his mom will find his father and brother then when they get out of the water and on land they will search for his baby sister.  When Mahmoud and his mom were out in the water stranded it made me picture two people trying to stay aflote, kicking there legs a bunch, with a gray and stormy sky with a lot of waves in the water. While I was reading Isabel’s part I wondered if they would be able to make it to Florida without the boat sinking.

Sincerely,
Reine

     I am currently reading The Theif Lord by Cornelia Funke. Right now I am on page 20. At the beginning of the book a couple had traveled to Italy to talk to an investigator named Victor . When the couple arrived at Victors office they told him that there two nephew’s were missing. They assumed that they would be in Italy because there mom had told them all the “magical” things about Italy so they asked Victor to try finding them. The two boys were in Italy and they had met a girl that helped them survive since they didn’t have money or food.

     While I was reading I was wondering what the backstory of the girl that was helping them was. I noticed that the older brother was very protective and cautious while the younger one didn’t really care as much. One example of the older brother (Prosper) was being over cautious with his younger brother (Bo) was when Bo saw a photographer and got his picture taken and Prosper told him not to since they were trying to run away. The reason I want to know the girl’s (Hornet) backstory is because it never really told us much about her. I predict that there aunt and uncle will find them since there both in Italy.


Sincerely,
Reine

     I am currently reading Couning by 7’s by Holy Goldberg Sloan. So far a girl and her friends were driving around with there counselor. After they were done driving the counselor drove to the girl’s house to drop her off. When they got to her house there was a police car in her driveway. The counselor was walking up with her and the police officer’s go out of there car and pulled him to the side to talk to him. The girl was trying to listen but they were whispering and all she had heard was that her parents had died. That was the end of that chapter but the next one went on to telling her “backstory”.

    When I was reading I wondered why the police officers were only telling the counselor that her parents had died and not her. I noticed that her other friends stayed in the car and didn’t really want to get involved. While they were driving around I was wondering why it was there counselor that was driving them around. I wonder what would’ve happened when f they had gone home earlier and if her parents would still be dead if they did. I was thinking that her friends were going to get out of the car to see what was going on but they didn’t.


Sincerely,
Reine]]> 2020-01-31 23:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/64011957/s2sqdeex79fe/wish/439049829
