Maya Angelou-Poems-8/14/2011--Poetry.

          Dear Readers,



              I currently finished reading POEMS By Maya Angelou. I picked this book because it seemed nice and the bookstore lady said its a great book that has great poems. The significance is that she is talking about her life in that book what shes been through.

The genre if this book is Poetry. There isn't really character in the poems it just talks about her life. It takes place in her Journey. There is not really a conflict because it just talks about how she is living and what shes doing, and its a character vs. self.

The tone of this book is relaxed. The mood is also relaxed like laid back and some of the pages were excited. The moral is like to always be independent. The point if view is first person. The authors purpose is to tell you how she lived her life. I think its a nice book and lots of people should read it. I would read it again just for the fun cause its really nice.

I think this book is very interesting it tells you a lot about life and great poems about how she lived. I think its really nice I would recommend it to people. I would rate this book 4 star.

Author...Maya Angelou..

Sincerely

       Dear Readers,



                  
                    I just finished reading THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS By:John Boyne. I picked this book because a person who works in the bookstore recommended the book to me. The significance of this book is a boy who goes on an adventure throughout his life. This book passed the 5W test.

The genre of this book is fiction.The characters are Bruno the 9 year old boy and his sister Gretel, and Bruno's mother and father, they are static and motive. The setting is that they leave in Berlin. The conflict is that Bruno's father got a new job at a place called Out-With where Bruno needs to live his friends in Berlin so when they move to the new house its kind of small and there is no kids to play with and soldiers walk around their neighborhood all day long, but then Bruno saw people living in tents behind his house in striped pajamas, then one day Bruno was curious so he went there and saw a boy his age sitting and just doing nothing, so he met the kid and his name is Samuel they talked and talked for days Samuel told Bruno that his father disappeared and he cant get out of this place so Bruno and Samuel figured out a plan to get Samuel's father back and get out them out of that place and its Man Vs. Society.

The resolution is that at the end Samuel and Bruno found his dad and Bruno helped them get out of there and live close to Bruno's family.

The tone of this book is exciting. The mood of this book is excited. The moral of this book is that always you can find and help friends anywhere you go. The point of view is 3rd person. The authors purpose is that you can always help a friend. I think this book was very nice and interesting it made me feel like i was in the story and i would recommend it to my friends.

We Beat The Street By:Drs.Sampson Davis,George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt.8/4/2011

Dear Readers,



                      
                 I just finished reading WE BEAT THE STREET BY:DRS.SAMPSON DAVID,GEORGE JENKINS,AND RAMECK HUNT. I picked this book because it was suggested to me by the summer reading list. The significance is that dreams do come true.

      The genre of this book is Non-Fiction Biography. the topic is that 3 boys who were judged because  they were black skipped class one to shoot hoops and they ended up in a lesson about medical school. The main idea is that 3 boys the first is Sampson he has a brother named Andre one day his mom asked Andre to watch Sampson,Sampson is is 6 year old and Andre is almost 10 so he walked with Andre and his friends they saw a park that was broken apart and wanted to help and fix it. Sampson picked up a piece of big wood to help them and by accident it fell on his foot he screamed out of pain when he got home his mom was with a broom,she asked Andre what happened and then chased him around with the broom till he went upstairs his mom toke him to the Doctor and he found out that he got some broken bones and put on a cast. The second person is Rameck,he has problems in school he gets in trouble almost everyday,he is 9 years old he is in a catholic school which he just moved in from a public school he hates his new school and everyday wishes to move from that school to his old school. The Third person is George he is 8 he has a brother Garland.George loves school he always gets upset when he misses days of school even when he is sick but his brother is the opposite of him he always skip classes one day his teacher told him he is the smartest kid in her class and that he should go to college and then George said but i wont have so many friends if I go to college so he thinks if someone is too smart he is a nerd and wont have any friends They all get in troubles.

            They also have a hard life all of them. All of them are not bad kids. The Main idea is Stated. If i would give it another i would call it LIFE IS NOT EASY!...The cause&effect is that if they would do the right choices they wouldn't get hurt or anything. The authors purpose is to show readers that they should be nice and behave good.

         The connection is Text to world. My response is that this book was OK i wouldn't recommend it to someone,and i wouldn't read it again.I would rate this book 3 it wasn't so great.

These are the 3 doctors...

Sincerely,
