  2. Book: It's Only Temporary

    In my book right now the young girl Skye got her stech book back from the football jocks. Skye invites her friends over & tells them that the drawlings where something she did before she even really got to know them. They are all confused and wondering why she would do something like that but, skye tells them that she was having a hard time adjusting to moving & she well took it out on them through drawlings. They were still a little upset with Skye but they did forgive her, because of what she has been dealing with lately.

  3. Title: stone fox
    Author: john reynolds gardiner
    Character: little Willy
    Feeling: sad.
    why: Willy is sad because Grandfather wont get out of bed. He just now found out that he hasn’t been paying his taxes, which is now $500. And if they don’t pay it soon, the tax person will take their farm.
    This is important because Willy and Grandfathr have lived on the farm for years and they don’t want it to be taken away. So Willy has been doing all the work, like farming and making dinner and etc, with his wonderful dog Searchlight, shes been helping Willy get the jobs done. I think that later on Willy will find a way to save the farm.

  4. Travel Team
    By Mike Lupica
    Conflict
    In my book right now Danny's dad was in a car acident and he broke one of his ribs and one of his sholders. The problum is that he coaches Danny and they don't think that he will be ok.He told his team that he would buy them pizza and they get wored that he won't be there.This helps me to understand that some times you have to be careful and not go to fast or to slow because you might hit someone or something.

  5. Book:Breaking Dawn book one Bella
    topic:main character, setting, and conflict
    Right now in my book Isabella Swan is about to marry her true love, Edward Cullen's so that in return Edward will turn her into a vampire and be with him for the rest of her life. In the past, both Bella and Edward have had rough times, especially with her best friend, Jacob Black, and his undieing love for her. Though loosing Jacob would be the most heartbreaking to her, that doesn't stop her form saying the two mos important words you could say at a wedding, and those ore "I DO"! But during their honeymoon, something both surprising and shocking happens.
    This is important because not only will it jeopardize her plans on getting changed but also a big risk on Bella's life.
    This helps me understand that this will bring Edward to go crazy knowing that his wife on the love of his life is at the edge of dieing and that this will bring a whole lot of tension between the vampires and the werewolf's because of the treaty. Also it will cause tension between Edward and Jacob with their love for Bella. Will this be the end of it all of just another new beginning?

  6. pray hard
    setting
    Right now in my book ameila (after her dads plain crash)still goes out and cleans the runway as she always did we he went on a trip. Also her mom and her goes out to his grave every 2 weeks to exchange his flowers with new ones.
    This is important because they aren't just forgetting about him after a while like most people do when someone dies.
    This helps me understand that they loved him very much and will never stop thinking about him. They probably moped for days after his death. Also they have ben doing this for quite a while because he died 2 years ago.

  9. Book: The Face
    Author: R.L Stein
    Topic: Conflict
    Right now in my book, the main character Martha is slowly regaining her memory after suffering the traumatic death of her friend Sean during a skiing trip. She thinks she murdered him after finding evidence that points to her involvement.
    This is important because Martha blames herself because she doesn't understand why she is the only one to have memory loss while all her friends were also there.
    This helps me understand that Martha must feel so guilty, that she keeps drawing Sean's face and finding so much evidence that she thinks she killed him.

  10. Twilight
    Right now in my book Bella is still worried about her dad because he keeps asking about her trip to Settle, I think he is worried about her because she is his little girl and does not think she is ready to go that far from home.

  11. book:monster
    Author:Walter D. Myers
    Topic:THE END

    Right now in my book the judge finally decided that Steve Harmon was not guilty! Steve thinks that the judge must have liked what ms. O'brien had to say. This is important because Steve learned that without the help of others, he would have never been found not guilty. This helps me understand that even when the whole world is against you there is still A way out if you try.

  13. Mockingjay By Suzanne Collins
    Conflict
    Right now in my book Katniss is in a difficult situation with the capitol and she is getting footage of herself to help her out. Also she is with two soldiers and Gale and a guy named Boggs as her bodyguards to go with her to district eight to help the people that were injured in the uprising. Also when the injured people ing the hospital reconized her their faces were so full of joy and happiness.
    Because they didnt know if she was alive or not, but they do now. But when Boggs says that they have to get out of there right away, because they're were incoming bombers coming in and that the bombing was scheduled and that the capitol doesn't know that katniss is there. but the capitol MUST
    NOT see katniss, otherwise it can end VERY badly. Katniss's Bodyguards and team MUST do ANYTHING to keep her ALIVE.

  14. Last Shot by John Feinstein
    Topic: Conflict
    Right now in my book the main Characters Steven Thomas and Susan Carol have just won a huge sports writing contest and have been flown down to New Orleins for the final four in collage basketball. But al goes wrong when they over hear a conversation with a secret man and the MSU's star player Chip, telling him to lose the last game against Duke or else. So they go on a mystery hunt with Chip to try and stop him from having to lose the last game and make Chips father (MSU's coach) proud. This is important because it shows how badly they don't want to lose this game because if they win Chip is on deep trouble with the collage basketball ocociation and it can badley hurt his dads carer. This helps me understand that Chip really cares about his father and dosn't want to hurt him at all. It also shows how much these two kids love basketball even if Susan is rooting for Duke to win.

  18. Topic: Main Character
    Book: Summer Ball
    Right now in my book Danny Walker has gone to Right Away one of the best basketball camps in the United States. There are college scouts there looking for their next "big thing". He has been put on a team with a coach from Providence College. This coach had tried to recruit Danny's father when he was going into college, but his dad choose some other college instead. Now the coach is not playing Danny at all because he still has hard feelings that his father didn't go to his college.

    This is important because there a bunch of college scouts there, and his parents don't have the money to send him to college without a scholarship. The only time he has to impress the scouts is during the mandatory one quarter that each camper has to play.

    This helps me understand it is going to be hard to for him to get a scholarship to college if his coach isn't playing him much. He will have to show his coach that he deserves to play more by working hard and improving his skills. His coach is going to have to get over his hard feelings about his dad if he wants his team to win at all.

  19. Book: Artemis Fowl the Atlantis Complex
    Topic: conflict
    Right now Foaly, Holly and Artemis are going
    to Atlantis trying to stop a space probe that is being controlled by a criminal. During this Artemis can't really help them because he has caught this thing called the Atlantis Complex. It means that he feels really guilty about something, he got OCD and has multiple personalities.
    Between all this I still think that its all going to be fine. I think this because Artemis is planning even when his other personality is in control.
