  1. Title: someone named Eva.
    By: Joun M wolf
    Eva has discovered Elizabeth has hidden a gun in the woods, her and Elizabeth have shot the gun for practice. Eva has also discovered a construction camp as she was struggleing to rember her old self. Next I think Eva will get back home later on and become Matilda again. The book always says, Eva thought to herself " when the war ends I'll be back in Czechoslovakia." This helps my understand that she really wants to go back home and back to her old life.

  2. Title:a man named Dave
    By:Dave Pelzer
    Topic:Main Character

    Right now in my book, Dave is at a church because his father died. Also while he was there when the man said the things that his dad wanted people to hear, Dave's mom deliberately made sure that they forgot to mention Dave's name. Some Evidence is that in the story it stated that his dad thanked wife and his kids Ron,Stan,Russell, and kevin. This is important because Dave's mom left him out when Dave was the only kid at the hospital who was there when he died. This makes me understand that not everybody in the world is going to like you, even if they are your own parents.

  3. Title: MockingJay By Suzanne Collins
    Topic: Conflict
    Right now in my book things are getting worse for Katniss. Mostly between her and Gale, cause they keep arguing. Also I am sort of confused because im sure that Gale likes Katniss, and Peter also likes Katniss. But who does she really want? I also think that Gale was jealous when Katniss and Peter were "Acting" to be in love for The Hunger Games. But have Gale and peter ever cared or wondered what Katniss wanted? There is also getting more and more conflict between district 13 and the capitol, cause Beetee is taking the footage of Katniss that they filmed and over riding it into the capitol during President Snow's speech With Peter. I wonder what will happen next?

  4. BOOK: TRACKERS
    by: PATRICK CARMAN
    in my book what is happening is that they are talking about basket ball and there is three seconds on the clock and you only got one shot to make it and you can play bit how ever you want. And then Adam said i don't know how. Then they tell Adam they thought he knew everything in the world? Then he tells them "i don't know everything all the stuff i know is about math and computers. Then i think if you only know everything about math and computers then tell them that you don't know how to play basket ball and you don't want to answer that question.

  5. blackout girl
    by Jennifer storm

    Jennifer parents split up and her mom doesn't want anything to do with the kids.Jennifer starts hanging around older and starts doing drugs... but her dad doesn't know that she doing drugs. what i think going to happen next's is that Jennifer will be caught doing drugs by her dad and she will never get to do things she likes to do. i think this because in my book it says" i locked myself into my bedroom,because i didn't want my dad to see the red slits my eyes had become."to me this means that your parents are going to find things out one way or the other even if you try to hide it...

  6. Divergent by Veronica Roth
    Right now in my book Beatrice is getting tested on what faction she will go in. Well, first she was told to pick a knife to fight a rabid dog. Then weather or not she would lie about something.
    A question I have is why do they have different factions? Also why do they test because they choose on their own anyways.
    I think they have factions because in my book it says in each faction there's a different belief. Also it says they have a choosing day where you pick what faction you go in.
    This helps me to understand its pretty nerve racking on choosing day because you choose to stay with your family or leave them forever.

  7. Throw like a girl By Jennie Finch
    Right now in my book her coach told her she was not a champion pitcher. But her dad told herto never give upand keep trying.I can tell be the pictur on the frount that she will be a champion pitcher for the girls U.S.A. team..In the textit says thatherparentsknew she had a hard throw when she was 5 years old.The text also said that Jennie and her family went to spend the Christmas in Iowaand she had a snowball fight and one went so far that they could not see it land.To me this means thather coach was not seeing her the way her parents and other people were.This helps me to understand that you have to practice and practice untill you get it right.Also you can never give up.

  8. Code talker by Joseph Baruch
    right now in my book Kli Yazhi is heading to school and does not have the 1st clue how long he is staying their.

    a question i have is why does he have to go to school if he is in the tribe Navajo?

    The author says your not going to school for the tribe your doing it for yourself and living the your dream as being in the army as a code talker.

    this helps me understand what life was and how it was like in the old times when i was not even thought of.

  10. Book: The Alchemist the Secret of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
    Author: Michael Scott
    Right now in my book Sophie has got magic powers awoken. Her brother , Josh, is a little jealous because his powers were not awoken. Then they went south to see a witch to train Sophie in air magic. Dr. Dee found them there and they had to run away. I think Dee is going to make Josh want to work with the Dark Elders. The Book talks a lot about a prophecy. In it , it says that a pair of twins will save/end the world. One twin will help save the world and one will help end it. This helps me understand that Sophie or Josh will help Dr.Dee at some point.
    I think that it is more likely that Josh will help Dee because Josh doesn't trust Nicholas that much and Sophie does trust Nicholas.

  11. Book: Last Shot
    Topic: Main Character

    Right now in my book Steve and Suzanne have just won an essay contest to be guests at the Final Four in New Orleans, Louisiana. Once they have arrived at The Dome, they over hear Minnesota's star player, Chip Grabber, trying to be blackmailed by their Athletic Director. If he does not win the first and choke in the championship game, he will fire Chip's dad, the assistant coach and say that he was ineligible since he has control of the grade book.

    This is important because he will lose all of his endorsement deals with the "big time" companies who have wanted him to represent their products since he was in high school. This is also important because he will lose all of the NCAA records he has broken and the games he has won.

    This helps me understand that this will not be a very good impression of him to the NBA teams who are looking to draft him. Another problem is that his dad will lose his job and then they might not have enough money for him to continue in college since his mother died in a car accident. Chip has a decision to make. Which one will he pick....lose a championship or not be drafted by the NBA?

  13. Book: Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
    Right now in my book the main character Sal "isabel" and her friend have just crossed the river jordon and have escaped to freedom and are on their way to save isabels little sister from her slave owner
    This is important because it shows me how deturmened isabel is to save her and make sure that she is okay. It is also important because it shos how much isabel cherishes her friendship with her friend because she almost left him but in the end she decided to save him.
    this helps me understand that isabel is a very determend child and dosnt care about what will happen to her as long as she is free and with her sister. I love how she is still trying to be free after all of her hardships that she has endurard threw her time with this slave owner. it shows that she dosn't give p and will keep on fighing no matter what.
