One thing I find interesting about this book is the ending. The end is his biggest fight against a really strong kid from another town over. People were real doubtful on Sonny winning this fight since the other kid was undefeated. His coaches wanted him to quit boxing and not fight this kid, but he decided to anyways. I think that is why the book is called the Brave. This was a real interesting book and this is what makes it interesting to me.

SSR - Zachary Smith - 11/13/2011 - Touching Spirt Bear - Mr. Kenealy (Ms. Buys)

I am reading "Touching Spirit Bear" by Ben Mikaelsen. The story is centering on Cole being banished to an island because of the bad things he has done. He has encounters with a "Spirit Bear" and sometimes those are very gruesome. He's fought the Spirit Bear, been attacked by the Spirit Bear, and is learning to understand the meaning behind all of this. Cole has been alone so long and is feeling he's learned his lesson and ready to return home, however the two other characters in this point of the book, Edwin and Garvey, feel he needs more of a lesson before leaving. Cole has to understand and learn to deal with his anger issues. He needs to understand why he has them, and what he did to Peter was wrong. That is why he's being punished.

What do you find intresting about your book?

What I find intresting about my book is the format of how it is written. The way this book is wrrtn is in texting or instant messaging format. I find thing this intresting because texting is something I do everyday and when you find a book written this way it makes the book fun to read. The book is given me more motive to read because the way it is written makes me want to keep reading. Also, what makes the book intresting is that this book is about teenage girls who have drama in their lives, just like in every other teenagers life. This is what makes my book intresting.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

This is for the post that was late for last week). Well so far in my book i like that Henry (from
the future) travels back to the past of Clare's childhood and he meets her several times and they fall in love. But when Henry and Clare meet in the present he has not yet visited her childhood because that was Henry's future self, so Clare knows all about Henry. But Henry thinks hes just meeting her for the first time. I thought that was interesting because its an odd twist to the
story. It can get confusing at times but its interesting to read. Its just such a unique book.

Zach Smith - Mr. Kenealy (Ms. Buys) SSR 11/5

I'm continuing to read the story "Touching Spirit Bear" by Ben Mikaelsen. Cole who has been abused and tormented other people is now being tormented by a Spirit Bear on a deserted island. Cole has no food to eat so he has to find a way to survive. He eats a mouse and other gross things but is basically starving. He realizes the bear isn't going to kill him even though it's fought with him a lot. Cole is beginning to realize that if he is ever going to live through this, he needs to change the way he treats people. Even though he's been abused, it's not right for him to have beaten the boy up from school. Cole continues his stuggle on the island.

Zach Smith - SSR 10/30 - Mr. Keneally (Ms. Buys)

I'm reading "Touching Spirit Bear" by Ben Mikaelsen. Cole is the main character and has been abused and gotten into a fight and is now sent to an island for punishment from the court system. He met a white bear that is who is referred to as the Spirit Bear. Cole had a violent attack with the Spirit Bear. While Cole was at home and in his normal activities, he was the one that was in charge, as in being a bully to people and having anger issues. Now the Spirit Bear is the one that's overpowering Cole. This book is very interesting to read.

JOE ALONZO 1st period

My book is the BIG FIELD, by Mike Lupica. I really don't find anything interesting about my book. I mean I'm interested in it but I cant say an interesting thing about it. I can relate to the book and all. Like how the main character Darryl took over some positions, I did that a few times. That is about the only interesting thing to me. So the character is interesting to me. Only because I can relate to him and he is interesting like me. So that is what I find interesting about my book.

Monster by Steve Myers by Quassim Winters SSR P1

My book is called Monster. It was authorized by Steve Myers. The point of the story as if it were a movie. Steve Harmon is the main character and he tells the story from first person and then to a movie. I think the point of view should stay the same because its an interesting way to read a novel. In some parts its told as a play, but overall is basically a movie setting
