my reading life so far is really good because ive improved in ly readong alot.i have read alot of books this year because this time i really do enjoy reading books.i think ive read hard enough books for my grade and maybe harder.what i need to improve is probably not stopping before i finish reading the book because i have a habbit on that.alos i have to improve on my book talks because i dont think i did such a good job.i think i do really good on my dialectic journal.

the burn journals

the burn journals made me cringe and cry.it made me cringe because when hes burning himself in the restroom he tells the readers how much it hurt and that it was the worst pain he ever felt and he just wanted to die and be over witht he pain.i cried because he thought that no one wanted him alive not even his parents but it turns out that when he was in burn care everybody was really worried about him and they wanted him to get better soon.what also made me cry was that his mom is always crying because she his so happy everytime she sees him getting better.i think it is a good book because it really happened and its not some make up thing he is really talking about hiss life.

the alchemist

i connect with santiago because he is also a teenager just like me.i think we are also the same because i like to dream alot too.also santiago is very determined in lokking for his treasure and trying to reach his goal.i am different from santiago because i am not a shepard and because im not as wise as him.im also different because i dont like to walk that much.i do agree with his choices because if i could go and find my treasure i would.i think it was a very good choice because this could be once in a lifetime.i woul make the same choice because i would also like to find my treasure as well.caring for someone might change my mind because i wouldnt want to leave them and i would miss them alot.too much that i wouldnt want to leave.

words from the alchemist

the word OASIS is an isolated area of vegetation in a desert typically surronding a spring or similar water source. oasis also provide habitat for animals and even humans if the area is big enough. URIM AND THUMMIM were used to answer the question innocent or guilty,the old king probably sed urim and thummim to answer if the criminal was innocent or guilty and he gave it to santiago so that he can answer his important questions.OMENS may be considered either good or bad depending on their interpretation.the same sign mat be interpreted differently by differnt people pr different cultures.

the alchemist

this is in the second part of the alchemist.i thought this was intresting when santiago and the englishman took a ride on the caravan through the desert to find santiagos

treasure and to go tomecca.i think its really cool that santiago went on a ride throught the desert and for it not to take as long as it would walking.

the burning journals

the book im reading is called the burn journals by brent runyon. it is a true story about his life and how he tried to commit suicide by trying to burn himself. the reason he did it was because he was going to get expelled. when he told his friend, his freind said "hey,thanks". he had tried to kill himself many other ways but they never worked. he is telling his life and i think that he souldnt have done that but i do recomend this book to other people to read.

author letter

dear gail carson levine,
i really like your book "fairiest".i think its suck a good book because the people talk like if they are in the older times.to me the book is like if you are trying to re-write the fairytale of snow white except that aza doesnt think that shes pretty and thiks tat everyone thinks shea the ugliest thing in the world.Aza is the same as snow white because they bout have a beautiful voice.I think that Aza is going to find herself in alot of danger and is going tbe in an adventure.
