January 5,2011 last blog I am reading //nineteen minutes// by Jodi Picoult. So far, many characters have been introduced which has set up an interesting plot because you see what is happening through everyones eyes. Reading this makes me feel how fortunante we are at Boone to never have to go through what these kids had to that day.My sister told me I should read this book because she knew that Jodi is my favorite author and she knew that I really liked her other book //my sisters keeper//.

Happy December! To be honest I just haven't read these past weeks but in class we are reading Julius Caesar. I like this play a lot better than Romeo and Juliet because i think is is easier to understand. I also like it more because I have a little more background on Julius and what it was like during the Roman Empire from world history. I cannot wait to find out how the rest of the play goes now that Rome is without a leader. :)

I am reading Small Steps by Peg Kehret. I stopped reading my other book because i just was not getting into it. My sister referred this book to me and said it was her favorite book she read in high school. This is a true story about Peg when she was got diagnosed with polio. She was only in high school when it happened. I love this book so much. It has become one of my most favorite books I have ever read.

November 4, 2010 Blog 1 I am still reading Small Steps by Peg Kehret. It is about a girl who got polio and all of her obstacles she overcame during her battle. This book makes me feel a little selfish because you never know what could happen to you. It teaches me to appreciate the little things in life. When she finds out that she has polio she is sad at first but then later on in the book, she learns to accept what she has and does not let that effect the way she will live the rest of her life.

November 18, 2010 Blog 2 Hey! I am reading __Tuesdays With Morrie__ by Mitch Albom. I really like this book. So far i have learned about the two characters Morrie and Mitch. Morrie is hanging on to his life now that he has discovered he has ALS and every tuesday Mitch goes to visit him. I feel like I can connect to this book because I used to go visit my grandpa at the nursing home and talk with him all the time. Even though me and my grandpa didn't talk about the same stuff they do I feel a strong connection to them.
