2nd Quarter

Blog Entry for December 6,2010.

I am still reading the novel //My Sister's Keeper// by Jodi Picoult. I haven't really had much time to read, because of my mothers chemo and drivers ed. I don't really like the book we are reading in class. One reason I don't like it is because I've missed class and I don't really know whats going on in it. I'm still going to keep reading //My Sister's Keeper// and finish it.

I am still reading the novel //My Sister's Keeper// by Jodi Picoult. I am only on chapter 2 in this book which is page 22. The reason i haven't read that much is, because I have been really busy dealing with my mother going throw chemo. In my first blog of 2nd quarter i wrote that it was told in Anna's stand point but now that I am on the second chapter I realized that each chapter is wrote in a different persons stand point. This chapter is told by Campbell Alexander, the man that Anna want to sue her parents. He had to make a hard decession. He has to decide weather or not he wants to help Anna sue for her own body. Campbell thinks that she want to sue her parents, because they wont let her use birth control. So, he doesn't want to help here for that reason. Anna is really tired of her parents using her just to save her sister Katie. This is as far as I have gotten in my book. I like this book and I'm going to keep reading it.

This Quarter I'm Starting to Read the novel //My Sister's Keeper// by Jodi Picoult. I decide to read this novel because I had seen previews of it and realized that it self connection to me. In my life I have always had to live with family members having cancer. For example my mother has had brain tumors scene I was three years old, she has always gone throw the pain of cancer and there has never been away for anyone to help her get better. After i had seen the previews I want to buy it, so i could see how they where able to watch their love ones go throw it and how hard it is to be able to do nothing about it. So far these book is wrote in Anna's standpoint. Anna has been talkin about her sister kate and what she has had to go throw. Also Anna has talked about the painful things she has gone throw.

1st Quarter

Hello. This is Emily Larson and I am reading Maggie’s Door  by Patricia Reilly Giff. I decide to read this novel because I have always been interested in mystery. I found this novel in store and decide to get it, after I read a few pages I couldn’t put the book down. This book is about a girl who is on a journey for Ireland to America. This novel is also told by to different people Nory and Sean. The first part of the novel is told by Nory. Her neighbor Anna and her are taking a journey and along the way she is remembering old memory and things she’s been told before. The thing I remember most was when Anna said “you must go now and never look back. Take that road.” I think that Anna is saying don’t give up and keep trying even if its hard to do. I like the characters because the author made them interesting so I would want to keep reading the novel. I also want to keep reading because I want to see if she well find what she is looking for.

I finished //Maggie's Door// by Patricia Reilly Giff. I liked this novel because it kind of seemed like a mystery, and I really enjoyed books that make me think about what will happen. I read in this novel about a girl named Maggie that was searching for America. It was hard for her to get there, because she walked from Ireland to America.
