Here we are in the beginning of a new quarter, and it looks like our reading competition with 6th block is fairly close. Look at the fall leaves; they are close to the same number. You can thank some of the avid readers in our class. From this point, you have an opportunity to blog about those titles you have claimed, and you may start today.
Title today's post by including the title of your current book. Give us a short summary of what you've read so far. You can include page numbers if you'd like. Find and post a picture that somehow connects with the storyline, a character, or something the book reminds you of...If you include a picture of the cover, you still need to find another picture or work of art to post for your visualization.
Next, include a short passage that stood out to you. Be sure to discuss how the quote fits in, who said it and to whom, and what it all means to you.
Last, you can discuss your reading so far this year, titles of books, book discussions and so forth. From now on, to claim a new leaf, you must have posted about that book to this blog!
I read Jurassic Park. currently in the book, a girl named Tina got bit by a little lizard about the size of a chicken. She went to the hospital and her bites made the doctors very nervous because they have never seen these kind of bites before.
ReplyDeleteI tried to read "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler and I must say that I didn't enjoy it because of how all Hitler writes about is his complaints with everything and how everyone else is wrong.
ReplyDeleteLonesome Dove is a great book. They're out in Mexico looking for horses and cattle to steal or steal back from mexicn bandits. They've ran into a couple of young Irishman who spend their nights drinking, and singing around a camp fire. They give me, and the other characters a pretty good laugh.
ReplyDeleteA little that I could describe Is when Captain Call was sneakin up on them. As soon as he showed himself, this short, chubby, and drunk irishman bolts past him, and his rifle, the captain has barely enough time to turn his head to follow. Next thing you know, the drunk is up on an unhobbled mule kicking its sides and yelling at it to go! The Mule simply flips him off and he lands in the dirt nearly back where he started.
