Dear ms Zrihen, I am currently reading the book The Cry of the ICE MARK by STUART HILL. The significance of this book was to show how a only child a girl that is only 13 must fight to save her home. The two before reading strategies I used was that I skim and scanned through pictures table of contents. I also read the synopsis. The two during reading strategies I used was that I reread important parts in the book, and I look for more clues. I am not done with the book yet but when I will be my two reading strategies are gonna be ask myself questions about the book and to reread important parts.
Genera is realistic fiction.
The setting is in a castle and in a small town.
My point of view was that this was a great book but long for me.
The authors purpose of writing this book was to entertain.
The authors perspective was subjective and unbias.
the mood was exiting.
the oral was to not be afraid of anything even if you are young.
rising action was she went to battle.
the tone was happy.
I would rate this book a nine out of ten.

dawn
Rj # 7 10/12/11
Dear Ms. Zrihen I am currently reading the book Dawn by Elie Wiesel. I picked this book because it won a Nobel peace prize in 1986, and because my sister recommended it to me and because it is about Elie Wiesel's experience in the holocaust because he was a survivor.
The passage I chose was on page 40 "God saved me from death, Gideon repeated . " His eyes saved me. I too was arrested and tortured. They pulled my beard, lit matches under my fingernails, and spat on my face, all in order to make me confess that I had taken part in an attempt against the life of the High Commissioner. But in spite of the pain i\I did not talk. More than once I was tempted to cry out, but I kept quiet because I felt that God's eyes were upon me. God is looking at me, I said to myself, and I must not disappoint Him. My tortures never stopped shouting, but I kept my thoughts on God and on His eyes, which are drawn to human pain. For lack of evidence they finally got to set me free. If I had admitted my guilt I should be dead."
The two before reading strategies I used before reading the book was that I skim and scanned through the book and I asked my self questions like if I ever read a book from Elie Wiesel.The two reading strategies I used during reading the book was that I reread important pages in the book and I brainstormed what would happen next in the story. I am not done with the book yet but I think my two reading strategies will be summarize and discuses the book with somebody else who also read it.
The genera is biography
The mood is sad
the point of view is 3rd person
the authors purpose is to tell a story
the authors perspective is objective bias.
the setting is all day
the conflict is character vs society.
I rate this book a 10/10 because it tells you about he holocaust.
Sincerely your student /classmate

Odysseus
rj#6
10-5-11
Dear Ms. Zrihen I am not reading the book Odysseus anymore by Gerald McCaughrean.
I abandoned it because first I think it was to challenging for me and I did not understand it. That is why I abandoned it.
My first reason that I abandoned this book was because it was to challenging for me. One reason why this book was to challenging for me was because the words I did not know if it was a person a place or a thing. For example: Telemachus, bougainvilleas for that word I had no clue at all what it meant.
Another reason why I abandoned this book was because I did not understand what it meant. This book (Odysseus) was complicated for me. It was complicated for me because there was two stories in 1 book kind of at the same time. Also again the words were very complicated in the book so that was hard to understand in the book.
That is why I abandoned the book. Again the two reasons that I abandoned the book was because I thought that the book was complicated and because it was to challenging for me. Now that I know that this book was not good in my opinion so I would rate this book a three or four out of a ten.It got bad at about page seventy something I do not quite remember.
