Summer Reading Question

My book: The View From Saturday

What sort of person do you imagine the author of the novel to be?

I imagine that the author of this book is a middle aged lady. I have a feeling that this is so because I relate the author to Mrs. Olinski; she is almost the narrator of the story as she has the flashbacks and such. Also, I think that the author likes children as she knows so much about their personality. She probably was a teacher herself, maybe even a substitute. She could even be a class mom; just somebody who knew a lot about school activities. If she knew about them, then it would have been easier for her to write about the Academic Bowl. That is what I think of the author of The View From Saturday.

Bullying (Man's inhumanity to Man)

I think that people can't put a stop to bullying for many reasons. First, they may have bigger priorities to worry about. In Lord of the Flies, Ralph doesn't worry about Piggy being bullied by Jack because his main focus is to be rescued. Second, people might be intimidated by the bully. Most of the choir and other kids were in awe of Jack and didn't want to contradict someone so fierce. Finally, it would be hard to stop bullying forever. Smoking has been banned from public places and etc, but it still hasn't stopped. It's the same with bullying.

Welcome Scientists

My favorite subject is (it changes everyday) literature, because the class is relaxing as reading is fun and it's also funny.

The best book I ever read was Eclipse.

My favorite food to buy in the cafeteria are quesidillas.

On the weekend, when all my chores are done, I like to read or call my friends.

If I won a free airline ticket to any place I wanted, I would go to Australia, because my cousins live there and I want to spend time with them.

My favorite color is blue.

If I had a pet, it would be a dog, and I would name it Scruffy.

This year, if I work hard enough, I hope that my parents will finally give me a TV in my room so that I now that they trust me to be a responsible person.
