1.Using your notes from your reading, summarize what is happening in your story using 2 examples from your book. Include at least2. one connection and3. one inference that you made while reading. Keep in mind the previous feedback that you've received so that you don't make the same errors.

 The book that I felt I should do this on is my second book I'm reading Miss Fortune, by Ruth Ames. My book is basically about a female vampire who name is Claire and who is also around the age of 13. She is your typically girl when it comes to school. She has her typically bully or should I say bullies, and her typically best friend. I the scene that I'm at right now they are all getting ready for their Halloween party at school. I know this for two reasons. 1: 'The halls swarmed with witches and wizards and more.' (Page 5) 2: 'They think their costumes are oh so sexy." Say's Emma.' (Page 8) Clarie has a best friend who's name is Emma. Claire and Emma doing everything together and they also stick up for each other.
     
     I had many connections to my book that it wasn't even funny. In the book she is talking about her school bullies. I noticed that our school has bullies and then I thought some more and noticed that the whole world has some type of bully. I know how she feels because I have been bullied throughout my life also. It's not that fun. Not at all. Then again in the book and in life their will always be bullies. No matter what you do. Noting will change unless they change.
    An  inference  that I had made to my book is that Claire and Emma would soon concede to the so called popular girls. I think this because, when the popular girls had walked into the dance at the school. Everyone had turned their heads in fascination at their beautiful costumes. At the dance their is going to be a costume competition. So due to the fact that everyone their loves their costumes. I believe that they might be chosen 3 years in arrow for schools greatest costume.

Question time. 11/9/10 week 1

Lizzy, You seem really interested in your book, but what things about the book do you like the most? Bryan

    My book Witch & Wizard by Stephen King  is yeah really awesome. But what I like the most about my book is the two character's whit and wisty. They always use team work in any situation.(113) "I'm sorry, but he left, Matron," We said forcing ourselves to sound respectful. Now that is team work. I also like the fact that they give each other complements. (130) "My sister- WOW! Dang you're good," Whit told her. "Yep," She agreed. " I'm a bad scary witch, all right." It's just so cool how the can be so sarcastic in the times that they are in too. (56) "WOW, Is that for me? Why thank you!!" Whit said as the new order matron brought them there handcuffs. I also like it when they have to do disgusting jobs and make fun out of it just by singing. (103) I DIPPED THE TOOTHBRUSH in the gray-watered toilet and scrubbed another inch of floor. I was sing as if I had lost my mind, and probably I had. "I've been working on the railroad, all the live long day."These are only a couple of reasons on why I love this book. It is so interesting in so many ways. So there's another reason on why I like the book. A real world example would be me and my cousions life because we feel that we have been put away in a jail for who we are. Just like whit and wisty. We also make eachother feel good about ourselfs and we will always and for ever stick up for eachother and love eachother just like the characters in my book.

Answer to Bryan. M's question.

I love the fact that Whit and whitsy are no they afraid of the place that they are in and how they are determined to get out of the place that they call a hell hole. I also like the fact that there is a lot of action going on in my book.
