Chain Review

Chains
Laurie Halse Anderson
Setting is taking place in Boston and Rhode Island. It takes place during the 1700’s. The culture of the book is about slavery and war. The main character of the book is Isabel other known as Sal Lackton because she is the main one that can handle things better than her little sister Ruth. Antagonist is Mrs. Lackton because she is the only person that does like Isabel and trying to get Isabel really upset with Mrs. Lackton. To me the hook is that he kind of tells me a little bit about what slavery is and it kind of keeps me wanting to know what’s going to happen next. A really sad part is when Isabel is trying to get her and her sister Ruth is almost free but they ended up getting caught and they didn’t get to and Isabel ends up getting in trouble and gets an I put on his face. The theme of the book is slaver and a lesson of this is that slaver is one thing that could really hurt somebody and that it could end up being very bad some people because they would be put in jail or something and they wouldn’t have done anything. This book is a really good it lets you know more about slavery and hard it is to get free some people

Book Talk

Witch & Wizard
James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet


Setting: The main place that this takes place at a prison in Garfunkel. It mainly happens during the dark ages. Everyone is scared of every child in the prison because they think that the children will rule the world.

Protagonist: The main character is Wisty Allgood. Wisty because she goes through the most stuff throughout the book. She finds out that she should love everybody and that she should protect everyone she learns that she should always care for her family member and to never take them for granted. Wisty realizes that her brother Whit will always be there for her no matter what happens to them.

The Hook: The reason I got into this book is because he kinda tells me a little bit that happens. He made me believe that something bad was going to happen to Wisty, her brother Whit and her parents. He tells me bits and pieces of the book and what might have happened. The most interesting part of the book is when some really weird guys come into their house without any questions and they make their house look so bad. They take Wisty and Whit from their home because they believed that Wisty and Whit were a witch and wizard but they had no prove of it no matter what. So they took them away from their parents and their homes.

Theme: A theme of the book is pretty much about withes and wizards.

My hook: That this book is a really good book and it really shows you how mean people can be to anyone that is different from anyone else. It really show how different people really are in there true form.

Where I see myself in 15 years

I see myself in 15 years living my life with the man I love and 2 children that I adore. I work at a high school with people that have disabilities. It is a joy working with people with disabilities because I learn something new every day. My house is the prettiest house around. It is two story house with lots of rooms for the children to play. I make time for my family but I also make time for my work. Work for me is something I love to work with for me is something I love to work with the students they teach me so much. Once it comes to my family I love them with all my heart and I would do anything for them. My husband helps me with grading my papers when I have to many papers to grade. My children are the sweetest kids around. They aren’t scared to meet anybody new. They help me around the house when I have a lot of work to do. I have two children a little girl named Elena and a boy named Stefan. Elena is in the 8th grade and Stefan is in the 11th grade. Stefan is a football player and Elena is into all spots.
Elena and Stefan are very close. Stefan will protect Elena whenever she needs the help. Stefan and Elena has always been close they hand out all the time and they have the same friends once it comes to their sports that they play. Elena has a lot of friend that she loves to hang out with. Once it comes to her chick friends she’s always going shopping once she has the time or when she isn’t practicing any of her sports. Stefan and his friends are always playing video games or outside playing football. Once it comes to Stefan and Elena they are titer then anything you have ever seen. They always speak their mind when one of their friends is getting picked on or they just don’t what someone said to them.
Once it comes to my work it’s like a whole different world for me. It takes me a while to grade some of my papers. These times I grade my papers at school where I can spend time with my family. I love teaching students because I learn from them and they learn from me. I always bring new things to the class room and teach them things and help them learn new things. If my student’s need help with any of their classes I would always help them.
I always make time for my family. The most important thing to me is my family they are the most wonderful thing in the world to me. We always have a sit down supper were we can talk to each other and tell each other how are day has been. There day we have family days and we go somewhere and we have fun doing whatever we want. Me and my husband normal let the kids pick the first place where we go. Then, when me and my husband picks a place to go we always try to find something that both of our kids would like.
This is where I see myself in fifteen years. With both my children, my husband and with what I will be doing as a job that I truly love to do. This is where I want to see myself fifteen years from now and live my life the way I want my life to be.

Copper Sun

Copper Sun was a great book to read, I was always reading the book when I had the chance. Copper Sun really opened my eyes and got me looking in a whole different way. I didn't know that much about slavery, till I read Copper Sun reading it made me feel really bad for the African Americans with slavery. They had to deal with it everyday; they didn't have any say whether or not they can be slaves. They had to deal with being slaves or they could escape and run south. I thought it was really smart of Amari, Polly, and Tidbit to hide when they were running. They cared for one another, and they didn't let anything get in there way when they were running south. By reading this book it tells you a lot about the authors ancestors and you learn more by reading it.
