The endings of Chinese Handcuffs, Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, Running Loose, and Stotan! leave the reader with some unanswered questions. Chris Crutcher assumes the reader knows the ending, but he doesn't come out and say it. You take control and write the overview of one more chapter to these books. If there was one last chapter, what would it be about. How would you tie up loose ends, if you were the author?
Overall i extremely enjoyed my book. My book was wonder and i read it because a friend recommended it. My favorite part had the be the end. In the end there was a speech given that was very touching and talked about how much Auggie has grown as a person. I would recommend it to our age group because it talks alot about school life and i feel as if some people might related to the way the school is.
ReplyDeletethis sounds really intersting i. i havent read the book but the movie is fantastic
DeleteI have read the book wonder and the movie is not that bad eithier.
DeleteI also thought this was a good book. I remember reading it when I was young and I especially loved all the Star Wars references.
DeleteThis book sounds like it is a very relatable book to high school. I also feel like it would be interesting to read
DeleteI did enjoy my book Code girls. I liked the fact that it was an untold story and to hear what it was like to live back in the 1940s. There were some boring parts when it talked all about these different codes but it was also cool to see how they figured them out. My favorite part of the book was listening to Dot and Crows friendship and how a job brought two women to be such good friends. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to know more about women in the war but if you do not like anything about that kind of stuff this would not be the book for you!
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to read about a book that talks about the past and shows the reader what all happened. These codes also seem a little interesting and how they figure them out, it would be cool to see how they did it and what it meant. I like reading books when a friendship is built around something like in your book, it is cool to see how the two people can grow together and create a special bond.
DeleteYes I enjoyed my book, My favorite park of the book is when where whole town floods by the red tided sea. Really only because worse things kept building off of that, like how the red tide is chemically dangerous for you and how so many fish are dying.
ReplyDeleteThroughout our discussions as a group your book always grabbed my attention. It would be interesting to read to find out what all happened with the family and all their problems. It also would be cool to read about the problems that built off of the events like you said.
Deleteim glad you got to enjoy the book it sounds interesting
Deletethis book sounds really interesting
DeleteI think I would enjoy reading this book as it sounds interesting.
DeleteI did enjoy my book The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise. I liked that everyday I read there was always something new going on throughout the book. It always left you wanting to read more. The amount of adventures in this book were endless, and there always a lesson that you could learn from them. The author never left you confused or not knowing the full content which I liked because I like knowing what is actually all going on. My favorite part was when Coyote drove the bus the rest of the way to her hometown so she could finally find the memory box that she wanted from the beginning. I would recommend this book to teenagers who like fun and adventure. It is not a mysterious kind of adventure, but more like a book for someone with a lot of curiosity. It would be for someone just wanting to read a fun book.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of how my book made me excited to read everyday. I never knew what was coming next and that made it enjoyable to read. Although this book was intimidating at first, once I started getting deeper I was reading almost 100 pages a day. It sounds as though your book may have been the same way.
DeleteJulia Zalaznik-I think I would really enjoy this book because it seems like there is always something going on and never gets boring!
DeleteThis book seems very interesting I will have to read and I also like mysterious and adventurous books.
DeleteI'm in between whether I enjoyed it or not. I don't think I enjoyed it as much as I would have liked. My favorite part is the first shootout because it was the first exciting part in the book. I don't think I would recommend to anyone strictly because it was boring.
ReplyDeleteIn our group discusion the book sounded good but from what you have said I may not read it.
Deletei definitely love my book, it was easy to read and understand and very interesting. my favorite part was reading that they died in each others arms, that warms my heart! I would recommend this book to older class people.
ReplyDeletewhat book did you read?
Deletehonestly mine would be optimal for older reader, lots of hard topics.
DeleteShort books are probably what most high-schoolers look for. and I tend to agree with them!
DeleteFrom here this book through book talks it sounded like it related more to girls then it would be for guys and sounded like it would be more interesting to girls.
DeleteI do believe that u read the book the notebook. Although I have never read the book but I watched the movie and I loved it I really am a sucker for romance novels.
DeleteI wouldn't consider people dying in each other's arms very "heartwarming", but it sounds like an interesting book.
DeleteI read The Forgotten Heroes by Clinton Cox and I did not really like it because it really just told about how the soldiers helped the other groups.My favorite part was when Geronimo how he killed an animal and started cooking that for dinner.I would recommend this book to someone who wants to learn about the Buffalo Soldiers.
ReplyDeleteyeah kind of sounds not that active and a boring read but also could be interesting how they helped others.
Deletesounds boring if you ask me, try my book!
Deletedoes reading a book this boring make you dread reading it?
DeleteI read the book Night and was very good as it was the best book that I read this year because of how easy it was to picture in my head. I've always like learning about the holocaust and is crazy to hear the story's that have happened to innocent people. Also liked how he talks about the things we learned in history and Sophomore English so that also made it easier to wrap my head around things Elie was talking about.
ReplyDeleteI read this book too. It was definitely easy to picture, but I didn't think it was very good. I gave it an ok.
DeleteNight is a very graphic book I have heard this from many readers. I think this makes it easier to read because you can comprehend the book by visioning it in your head.
DeleteI agree this book was probably the best book I've read in English.
Deletei loved reading american sniper. my favorite part was when he was describing the weapons he used in the war. i enjoy researching ballistics and hunting so the book was right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI loved American Sniper the movie. Learning about different weapons is intriguing for me so I might have to take a look at this book.
Deletethe movie is also really good but what did you think was the saddest part about the book?
DeleteI really think you should read lone survivor as I have read both they are great books and I truly think you would enjoy it as they both deal with similar stuff but just different perspectives.
DeleteMy book was ok. I was expecting it to be a lot better because of what people said about it. I still think it was good though. My favorite part was when the factory was bombed, but it was a pretty small moment. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history, especially WWII era.
ReplyDeleteI read Night by the way
Deletethe factory part was pretty interesting especially when the one guy went for the soup :)
DeleteI think that people would enjoy "Night" but only if they were interested in the Holocaust or the WWII area.
DeleteI did enjoy the book I chose for my last read mainly because I can relate to the main character because of his age. my favorite part in this book is when he decided to run away from his home, this is my favorite part because it was the best thing he could have did at the time.
ReplyDeletewhat book did you read?
Deletewas this book your best choice of book for the last read of this tri? is this book the best one you read out of all 3 books throughout the tri?
Deletewhy did he run away form home
Deletemy book and yours had a similar connection as both of our characters ran away
DeleteI enjoyed the book Found. Fiction is one of my favorite genres because the plot can go anywhere, realistic fiction is a little bit more limited but I think the author did a great job being descriptive and making a good plot that you can follow. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes short books with big payoffs.
ReplyDeletewhat was your book about and do you like this book more than the other two books that you had read earlier in this tri?
DeleteI like the thought that realistic fiction is something that could actually occur in the world. It really allows your brain to consider what you would do in an outlandish but believable situation.
DeleteI read the book Girl, Stolen. It was okay. My book lost my attention a couple of times. Girl, Stolen was a little repetitive at some scenes it felt like the same stuff kept happening every chapter. Cheyenne would be treated badly and Griffin would help. My favorite part was when Cheyenne was able to escape because I felt bad for her the whole time and she could never catch a break. I would recommend this book for a fast read, but not for an engaging read.
ReplyDeleteI have read this book before and I also thought it was a bit repetitive but always seemed to keep my attention some how!
Deletei read the book " Ghost of a Spirit Bear" and overall i liked the book a lot. my book was non-fiction and i thought it explained the book in good detail as in when Cole was stabbing the polar bear with his dads pocket knife he had stolen from him. it explained how Cole had blood dripping down his arm and how he had a scratch about four inches long underneath his eye from being clawed. i would rate this book a 9/10 and anyone who enjoys survival books should read this.
ReplyDeletei also think in the book night the author really put a lot of detail in it to really show what he saw and smelled and I feel like those images never will leave his head.
DeleteMy book small spaces was also a little bit about survival because the children had to figure out how to live off the little food that had and find out where to get water.
DeleteAre books have similar connection and deals a lot about survival as in my book Marcus is in Afghanistan with Taliban all around him and never knows if it could be his last.
DeleteI read the book Night and I really enjoyed the book. it had its dark moments but other then that it really got my attention like why would anyone do that to someone else. it is sick that someone would even do those things that my character had to go through. its not really my favorite part because its terrible but it is something that stuck with me. it was when Elie was running the 42 miles and the person next to him stopped running and he got shot. It made Elie want to keep going because he didnt want to die.
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy that the author went through everything you read and you just feel really bad for him.
DeleteI loved my book that I read for our final reading this trimester. Stephen King's "Misery" is by far the best book I have read throughout high school. He writes his novels with fluidity and suspense, and I never got bored while reading it. My favorite part of the book was when Paul Sheldon finally got his revenge on Annie by lighting the book she made him write on fire right in front of her eyes. I would recommend this book to someone who likes other Stephen King novels and harder to read books.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always wanted to read one of us books but I got put off by how many pages he writes. But I think I might try to explore his novels.
DeleteI really enjoyed my book "Alaska Wolf Man" because it was about this guy's life and all the hunting that he did, and I was able to connect and related really well with him. I would recommend this book to anyone who really enjoys hunting and fishing and the outdoors in general. This book really puts life during the 1900s into perspective for people in Alaska and the hardships that they had to go through. Winter especially because they are so harsh. My favorite part of the book was when he went on his biggest grizzly bear hunt ever because that's my dream hunt in my future for myself.
ReplyDeletewere there any other hunting stories he told
DeleteI did enjoy my book. For how short it was, it was a lot to take in while reading it. My favorite part the person in the camp that helped him out and didn't let him get killed. I would probably not recommend this book to anyone just because of the graphic parts of the book.
ReplyDeleteI also thought Night was a good book but yes it sure was graphic and a little hard to understand.
Deletedo you think that i would like this book because i like to read books with hiistory
Deletei agree night was a really enjoyable book to read even with the graphic scenes.
DeleteYes I did enjoy my book it was interesting and always kept me interested. My favorite part of the book was the chapter about the Atlanta murder's. This was interesting because I knew about that case and it was interesting to learn more about and get a more in-depth look of the case. I would recommend people to read this if investigating murders is something that interest you.
ReplyDeleteThe book I read was Night and yes I did enjoy my book, mostly for the reason that I am interested in books the involve the Holocaust. I did not really have a favorite part because the whole book was awful and painful for someone to go through so that is why I do not really have a favorite part. I would recommend this book to someone who is interested about the Holocaust but if your not I would say this book is not for you.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that this book is very graphic hard to read. This book wouldn't be one for me but I do find the holocaust interesting.
DeleteI still think it would be a good read for everyone just to see what people had to go through and so people realize that this should never happen again.
DeleteI read the book Divergent and yes I very much enjoyed it was a combination of action and romance. Throughout the book it left me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for what's going to come next. the main character felt out of place most of the time until she found Four it was someone that looked out for her and would do anything to keep her safe. I would recommend this book to someone that likes a book that really grabs your attention and like action with a hint of romance.
ReplyDeleteFrom your description of the book, and who you think would enjoy it, I think I would enjoy reading this book.
DeleteThe book sounds pretty interesting, books that grab people's attention are the best.
DeleteI think that I might have to check out your book. From discussion it seemed very interesting and I like that there is a movie to go with it so you can compare both versions.
DeleteI enjoyed my book a lot because It taught me a lot more about the holocaust and what people had to go through to survive and I didn't know all the stuff they had to do to survive everyday from barely getting and food or water and working long days. i would recommended this book to everyone because it is a book book for someone to read because it shows what people had to go through.
ReplyDeleteMy book is kind of similar, as it discusses tragedies that people go through, and I enjoyed my book, so I'm sure this book would prove interesting to me.
Deletemy book the kite runner is also similar because it follows through out Afghanistan when the Taliban where taking control and all the bad they do. its bad to believe people go through things like this.
DeleteI enjoyed my book as a whole, as I stayed intrigued throughout the entire novel. I do not, however, think I necessarily have a favorite part. I enjoyed pretty much all of the book in it's entirety. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about sexual assault, and how the victims are treated. This is a good read for anyone, but people wanting to learn something would benefit the most.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed my book Night because of the setting of the book. I really enjoy subjects of history especially WW2 or the holocaust which was this books theme and this book was constantly keeping me reading with how action packed this book was.
ReplyDeletein my book the kite runner there is a lot of history too about Afghanistan and everything that has happened there. this book that i read also has a lot of action in it as well.
Deletei really liked my book Boarder Patrol because of all the action and the setting. i really enjoy reading boooks with a lot of action. i would recommend the book to anyone that likes to read action packed books and winter sports.
ReplyDeletei also enjoy reading books with a lot of action otherwise i have a hard time getting into it
Deletei feel like a book has to have action otherwise it is hard to read.
Deleteour books had the same author, i would agree that his writing is action packed, and very enjoyable to read.
Deletei enjoyed the book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. My favorite part of the book was when they where escaping to America it was the most dramatic part of the book. i would recommend this book to someone that wants to read about Afghanistan and learn.
ReplyDeleteI would consider this book as one of my most enjoyable reads. This book kept me hooked on. My favorite part is probably at the end of the book, I enjoyed seeing it all come together. I would defiantly recommend this book for others to read.
ReplyDeletei had the book Wildlife and i would highly recommend it to people that like the outdoors. one of my favorite parts of the book was when he shot his first pheasant with his hunting dog and how excited he got.
ReplyDeletethis book is like mine. it had a little deer hunting in it and was outdoors all the time both sound equally interesting.
Deletei had the book the burning maze by rick Riordan and i recommend this book to anyone that enjoys mythology. my favorite part is how the main character changes throughout his time. I enjoyed this book because it always kept everything fresh and it never got boring.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed my book, it was exactly what i like with outdoors stuff and building cabins in the woods with my brother. my favorite part was when he got the cabin fully done and built, and got to use it. iw would reccemend this book to anyone who likes the outdoors and building things with their hands.
ReplyDeletewas he building the cabin to live there
DeleteI really enjoyed my book because it is about what i like to do hunt and try and live off the land. My favorite part of the book is when Erik finally gets the hang of of shooting pheasants. i would recommend this book to any one who likes hunt and live of the land.
ReplyDeleteOverall I did enjoy my book. My favorite part was when Ollie, Coco, and Brian who are very opposite from each other unexpectedly become friends. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror stories.
ReplyDeleteI truly did enjoy my book. Lone survivor was a great read and i think everyone should read it. you learn so much about the mentality that people should have even if you close to death. People who enjoy war books or even true story's. I read American sniper and thought that was my favorite but when someone recommended me this book I had to take a chance and read it. I have watched the movie and now read the book and I love the book way more as it goes way more into detail about what Marcus went through mentality and physically
