Why did you choose this book?

I chose this book because in 5th grade, when I had Mrs. Zhang, she told the class that it was her favorite book, so I decided to read it.

My friend on my hockey team suggested it to me and he said it was really good, and so did Mrs. Rosevear.

I chose this book because some of my friends told me about this series and I finished the first book so im on the second.

Emerson - I am continuing The Heroes of Olympus series

Because I am re-reading the Percy Jackson series before the new book comes out.

In the spirit of poetry week, write a few lines of poetry that relate to your poem.  This could be character, situation, event, emotion.  Give a short explanation of how your poetry relates to your novel.


Kissing, kissing everywhere

but only on her hair

I cannot kiss her face, 

because it would be out of place


pg 74 - Mark and his guests discuss the differences in kissing to the Chinese and Americans


Jason is so cool

He Kinda lost his memory

He has a cool Sister


I chose this book because my sister read it a while ago and said it was good. Last night she was doing my nails and i wanted to read so she told me to read it. 

Emerson - Go to Alaska

Find Thanatos and free him.

Come back by sundown on June twenty-fourth or die.

"Rules and schools are tools for fools. I don't give two mules for rules!" In the book, one of the main character orphans answers this in her test, which then leads the directer to choose her in the story.

Julia- Dont let the door hit you were mother nature split you.

Insurgent doesn't have any poetry i think.

This book is really good

It is peculiar

Refrigerator


relate it yourself, write your own poem about a character or event

Tobias is mad, 

Because of Marcus his dad, 

His dad is quite cruel.

Percy is confused.

Hazel is supposed to be dead.

Frank is a klutz.

I had been reading the previous books from the series and i wanted to know what happend next.

What is the reading level of this book for you? Easy, just right, a bit tough?

 Some parts of this book are easy, some parts are hard. Overall i think its just right.

 This book is perfect for me.

 I general i think it's just right, beacause since theres not to many new words, the book is easy to enjoy.

Just right

 Most of the book so far has been just right, but there was like one part that was a bit tough to understand. 

Emerson - Just right

Julia: Just Right maybe a little inappropriote but oh well.(:

How long do you think it will take you to complete the book?

 I think I can finish the book by the end of the week.

 Probably in around 2-3 days.

 I could finish it by the end of the month.

 A week or less

Emerson - I don't know

Julia: Not Sure

I dont know, but i just started today. 

Has anything like the situation in the book ever happened to you?

I don't think so, because the main character and most of the other characters are orphans, and I've never felt that way.

Nope, and i doubt it ever will.

Not really because I had never wanted to be an explorer.

Emerson - I forget things that happen to me sometimes and wonder if I was dreaming things or they were real.

Well yes a monster or two has attacked me but besides that i have not found camp half blood yet so weel see what happens.

I have witnessed police cars and those accur a lot in the book im reading.

Nothing so far.
