Summer reading- Crispin: At the edge of the world
I'd rate this novel 3.5 stars out of five stars. It's the sequel to the first book but it milks the main plot by a landslide and some of it can be confusing to read, though other than that the book has interesting characters such as Crispin and Bear, the main character, and relatable scenes. -
The Outsiders
A group of kids in a society split by social class, greasers and the Socs. I'd give this book a 4 out of 5 stars because of it's relatable characters that bring us into the story of a battle for peace and equality. -
Marking period 2 novel- Middle school: Big fat liar
I'd give this book a 3 out of 5 because it had a childish sense to it, but it lacked an attention grabbing plot, so you only read it for its illustrations and comedic lines. -
Literature circle novel- The book thief
This book deserves a 5 out of 5 stars because from the very beginning of the book, it entices you with ominous characters that you learn to love and favor. It also leaves you breathless with vivid imagery showing you a whole world inside a book. -
3rd workshop novel- Coraline
this book deserves a 4.5 out of 5 rating because it entices you, but it lacks character explanation in some ways. Other than that this book is a great one to read and leaves you on the edge of your seat. -
The Giver
This book deserves a 5 out of 5 rating because though this is the first book in the Giver quartet, it shows you the downside of what we all think of, a perfect society. -
Self Assessment
As a reader, I've grown by learning new words I've found in books such as the word tyke, meaning small child. As a thinker, I've grown by now being able to think of new ideas to create a better future for myself, and others.So as a personal goal for next year, I want to learn all this again to perfect my skills as a reader and a thinker to make sure I can give everyone a better future.
