  1. in my book kellen got his pants wet and his friend diwight thought he peeded his pants and he he told them that the sink did it. So then diwight broght out origamie yoda and kellen ask him how to solve the proplem. So origamie yoda told kellen to go to the bath room and put water all over his pants to make it look like that they were made that way. So with 42 seconds left until he has to been in class he goes to the bath roomand makes his pants wet. And right when he was getting ready to close the door he made it into class with 1 second to spare. and that is what is happening in origamie yoda.

  3. Book:Measage in a Bottle
    Topic:Setting
    In my book Theresa Osborne has just met Garrett Brooks, the mystery writer of the 3 measages in a bottle. As they are geting to know each other they realize that after hard years of not being married they find that they are perfect for each other, but can they tell? The setting of my book is really important because it helps them get to know each other and understand each other more, it also is what drives them apart and makes it hard for them to stay together. The setting of the book helps me understand alot about garrett and his past life and why he enjoyed it so much :).

    1. Good work. What about the setting helps them get to know each other and what drives them apart? Is it because they're far away from one another?

  5. Book: slam
    topic: main character

    Right now in my book slam has just slipped past the police. But his buddy ice is not so lucky he gets caught and throw into jail. But something has changed since slam almost got arrested. he is not so cocky either i'm not sure why though. Another thing is that he stop selling drugs the reason he stopped selling drugs is that he did not want to go to jail and because his mom and dad would be diapointed in him. Will ice get out of jail in time to play slam in the basketball or will he stay in jail?

    1. So, Slam stopped selling drugs because he didn't want his parents to be disappointed in each other? What does that say about him?

  6. Book: Search and Destroy
    Topic: Main Character
    Right now in my book, Rick,the main character, has been wounded by enemy fire in Vietnam while rescuing Whiley, a fellow soldier, after he was shot while wading in a river.And while Rick was hit in the calf and chest, he continued to carry Whiley with another soldier J.D. After loading Whiley onto the medivac helicopter, Rick witnesses J.D's head exploding after being hit by enemy rounds. This is important because Rick wanted to go to Vietnam to become more of a man, and after watching what happened to J.D, I think this made him a man. This helps me understand that Vietnam turned boys into men, which is what Rick wanted in the first place, but now regrets.

  8. Title: Divergent By Veronica Roth
    Topic: Setting
    Right now in my book Tris is starting her 2nd part of initiation and she has to do something that is like a test and when she is given the injection to make her mind feel like a simulation. And when her mind starts the simulation she finds herself in a field. And a bunch of crows start chasing her and peaking her to death, even though she can't die because it's a simulation in her mind she can still feel pain. And the only way to get out of it is to stay calm and not to freak out. At this time she realizes that she will have to stay calm if she wants to get out. The author stated that she said " It has been hours since i have been alone in the field,; it has been days". And when the hallucination (simulation) is over she is rocking back in forth in the metal chair thinking that the crows are still there. Then Four tells her that it's over, and that she has only been in the simulation for 3 minutes (3 minutes less than the other people).

  12. Book:monster
    Topic: conflict
    Right now in my book, steve is still at the courtroom and the judge is asking more and more people what happend at the robbery. One person she asked said that two men went into the drugstore to ROB the owner. This is important because he said that they wanted to rob him and that they didn't want to kill him. But what realy happend was that the owner was armed with a gun so he could protect himself. This helps me understand that the killing could have not been there fault and that steve could be innocent

  13. Book:Artemis Fowl the Opal Deception
    Topic:conflict
    Artemis was mind wiped it the end of last book so now he was taken by a fairy.He thought it was a dream and had to try to remember. Its important right now because he was taken to a place called the eleven wonders and he needed to up with a plan to escape the trolls.
    I think that the plan he is going to come up with is going to fail. I think this because he can't remember anything about troll.
