Mr. Falker's Trisha
I liked this book for multiple reasons. First, I enjoyed how this book was paced. The author could have spent less time on the students bullying Trisha and more time on Mr. Falker teaching her how to read. However, she chose not to which helps the reader really feel how Trisha feels when the students bully her and makes Mr. Falker’s actions so much more meaningful. Secondly, this book pushes readers to think about tough issues; in this book Trisha is being bullied. Students can think about how Trisha felt, and about Eric’s, the bully’s, actions to help them understand that bullying is not nice and is not ok to do to other people. Additionally, it shows that it is ok if you take longer to learn to read or solve problems in math, everyone can

    Summary Of Sharon M. Draper's Tears Of A Tiger

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    Summer Ball Book Summary

    A few main things that i really liked about this book was once Danny got to the camp he was not favored because of who his dad was, in fact it made it even. Harder on him due to the coach he drew as Ed Powers. Page 53 explains why the coach was so hard on Danny as he was living in the past and made up the story of Richie Walker backing out of his offer last minute. I liked that in the book as it lasted all summer and made Danny prove himself at the camp and was not just a free easy pass as his dad was Richie Walker. One other thing that I really like and showed what kind of a kid Danny really was when he stayed in the younger kids group and his room mate Zach was having a ruff time and Danny was there for him and got him to end up liking and staying at camp instead of going home. I didn't really have any dislikes about this book as it included many other…

    Outline: The Evolution Of Calpurnia Tate By Jacqueline Kelly

    I didn’t personally like the book I thought it wasn’t very exciting. Maybe if the book was more exciting or had more twist or turns it would be more enjoyable. It did change my attitude about boys being smarter than girls but even when Calpurnia was talk all science to her brother he had no idea what she was talking about. I probably would not recommend this book unless you're more into having the same idea throughout the whole…

    The South Since 1865 Summary

    It gave me in depth understanding of the South and the way that they interact with the rest of the country. As a woman from the west coast I only know of the great migration of African Americans from the South to the North. But now I understand it was not just because of the poor way that they were treated but for many more reasons. The couldn’t get work because they were thought of as inferior, and it was made harder for them to vote people of the long lines and the voting tax. ‘The southern Negro’ had to be my favorite chapter. The only thing I disliked was how the book justified why the South wouldn’t free the slaves. The booked looked at in more of an economic…

    Annabel Pitcher's 'Silence Is Goldfish'

    Events such as bullying are things some kids won’t understand. “ Tess got changed for PE in a stall today. What’s she trying to hide? #SheIsAHe” (Pitcher, 189). They make fun of her all the time, calling her a he. They also talk about how her mother gotten a sperm donor, and Jack is not her actual father. “I couldn’t give your mum what she wanted more than anything.” (336). Most kids under twelve years old would not understand the more mature events that happen in this book.…

    Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer Essay Example

    I love the authors writing style in this book. First of all its written as a teenage girls journal so as i reader i get to know everything thats going on for her. I can almost relate because i know i would be going through a lot of the same issues as her. I also like how it dosnt focuse on a big group people so its easy to keep track of everyone and everything that is going on. In some parts it was a little unbelivable like when they went to the grocery store how could everything fit into there car with four other people in the car too. Im glad she put in the part about the stores though because it was intesersting like i could imagane all the chaos and frenzey of everyone running around trying to get what they might need and not know how long they would be in this situation.…

    Geoffrey Canada Book Analysis

    It has very tough issues and a lot of language. This would be a book for upper middle school to high school. This is a book you would have to be very careful with, you would need a lot of parent permission and a class/student that you could have great discussion with. However, that is not to say that it is not worth reading. I think that a lot of students today have a hard time backing down from an issue, even if it is meaningless, so this could really be relatable. Some strategies that could be used with this book include predicting, inferring, and making connections. I think that inferring could be a great strategy for this book because you can use the pictures and the text to find out what the author is really…

    How To Write An Essay On Freak The Mighty Book

    My opinion that this book was a little sad because Kevin (also known as Freak) had a disease that made him stop growing at three feet so he had to wear metal leg braces and crutches. Also in the beginning Max was a bully because in the beginning of the story Max was called Kicker because whoever touched him Max will hurt that person by punching and kicking him/her. The book also talks a lot about friendship and trust because when Freak and Max first saw each it was only for one afternoon and that afternoon they barely talked to each other but once years have passed, some how Freak moved next to Max’s emptied neighbors house (the only reason the house was empty because the old neighbor was still in jail) So after Freak got out…

    Song of Solomon Reading Response

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    The book is really interesting because it shows some of the characteristics we still find in today’s kid life. In today’s kid life we find bullying being occasional.

    Essay On The Outsiders

    The first reason it should be read is it portrays the life of kids that are around our age. It’s a eye opener, what I mean by this is it shows you that not only you are going through hardships in your life, which can be very relatable to some students. For example one connection students could make is they might have been beaten just like Johnny was by a 2 x 4. Another connection students could make is to Ponyboy, he lost his parents so he lives with…
