My book that I'm reading is called Flash Fire written by Caroline B. Cooney. I started reading this book but so far I think that my impressions of this book is appealing and adventurous. I only got to page sixteen and i like it so far.Its starts off like if someone is writing in a diary. I think when I read more to this book I think that there is going to be romance and tragedy will strike with the teenagers. This book is like a mystery. No one knows that the fire would cross Pinch Canyon. No one know how the fire started. I think it started because over where Danna, the main character lives is hot. But I'm going to read more of my book to see what happens. Right now I'm confuse about whats going on but futher on in the book I will find out.

So I started reading my book, it's a mystery book by Christopher Pike, and it's called "Remember Me". So far I like the book. I've only got to page seventeen, but it's still very interesting. My book is about a girl, who was killed, but everyone thinks she killed herself. I think this is very interesting because in every mystery book they always find out who's guilty & they get to the bottom of every case. But, in my book, Shari, the main character is describing the night of her murder, & some of the people who I think could be possible suspects, so I'm very interested in reading more of my book & finding out more information & maybe figuring out who the real killer actually is. So far I don't have any idea on who it could be, but there are a few possible people that she has named that it could have been. But I'm going to keep reading my book so I can figure it out.

But his world begins to slowly unravel after he cripples a fellow player in a football game, earning him the nickname "Killer." Keir stumbles through endless pranks and parties in a drunken, and often drug-induced, haze, not really understanding what he's doing, or why he's there. When I read more into the book I notice that he rape someone.

I knew Keir was capable of terrible things like his betrayal of the soccer team showed that , and we knew what the terrible thing was going to be from the start, but I could not help but naively hope that some miracle would happen and he would not rape Gigi. That's why this book is compelling. A flawed character, a very flawed character, is sometimes easiest to like, and it thrashes us when he is shown with the monstrous flaws he has.

So im finally done with my book and i have to say it was rather good. At the end alex made up with his parents and he ended up getting a second chance to live, which i knew would happen. Alex had to just make sure he lives it right this time no more bullying and no more skipping school. He knows he only has one mre chance to make things right between people at school and his family. Alex is gunna be smart this time ariound and make good decisions instead of bad ones. I would highly recommend this book because its a good book and it helps you to learn how to deal with every day situations. so if you havent read this book i think you should.

heyy

So im pretty much done with my book and i gatta say its really good. im glad i picked this book to read because every chapter its something new lyke in this last chapter alex finds out that he's adopted and that totally shocked him because he had no idea. he also was kinda disapointed that his family hid this from him for so long. he yells at his parents and tells them to go away and leave him alone. The next day he didnt show up to school because he was still upset about the night before. any way he still wants another chance to live but he alsio wishes that his parents would have told him when he was younger that he was adopted.

Ok, moving away from plot.   Nice job.  Now you have to move into analysis.  You mention the three settings.  Do any of them create a specific mood?  Represent or mean anything larger than themselves?  Think on that a bit more.  For the second last response, instead of talking about character actions, try to go into the realm of character traits.  What is Jennifer like?  How do her actions reflect these traits?

Good effort to try to get caught up.  In the future, when you respond, try to stick to one topic.  The response about Keir kind of jumps around.  Try talking only about Keir's characteristics.  I like the last response alot, but it tends to ramble from topic to topic.  But it provides good insight into character.

I really like that last response.  It's got good voice.  When you say "call me cheesy" it shows that you are aware of your audience and anticipating it's reaction.  I like how you play that.  Let's make sure to get all of our work done, eh?

Jessica, I'm digging the voice in your responses but you have to develop them further.  When you say that a book is teaching you new things and you don't elaborate, it comes off kind of fake.
