Space Station Seventh Grade

The book that I read over the summer is named “Space Station Seventh Grade”. The author’s name is Jerry Spinelli. The genre of the book is fiction. The book told a very good story and I liked it very much. I think the plot sounds believable because this story sounds like it can really happen to some one. It was hard to concentrate in the beginning but after a couple of chapters it stated to get better.

 The setting doesn’t really make the story exciting because the story could have happened anywhere. Yes the setting matters because say if what happened in the school did not happen the story, the story would not make sense to the reader.The conflict in the story is that Jason is having a hard time making it though the seventh grade. The book showed me what seventh grade might be like.

 Some characters did connect with me in the book. Yes the characters did develop though out the story. I can identify with Jason because we both are in seventh grade and we both played linebacker for our football team. Yeah some of the surprise in the book kept me interested. Some chapters did end in with cliffhangers. I think this book would be good for kids my age or anyone who is entering middle school.      Lord of the Flies Book Review

 The name of the book that I read was called “Lord Of The Flies.” The author is named William Golding. This book’s genre is fiction. This book to me was one of my favorite books to read because it talked a group of kids getting trapped on an island with hope to survive. I like books like where you and a group of people have to survive on your own. Even though the first part was hard to follow I liked the first part of the book.

To me this was a very good book and I would recommend it to other people. I can actually see this really happening to a group of people getting trapped on an island so I say it is believable. Some time when I would read if the part was boring and some one was seeking to me I would answer them. But if I was on getting ready to get on a good part I wouldn't answer them. The book in the middle was kind of boring because nothing was really happening. But in the beginning like when he blew the conch and every one started to come or at the when Piggy was killed it kept me interested in the book.

Their plane has crashed landed on to the a mysterious island that they have never known. The story never really told me when they had gotten to the island. Most of the island was ether covered with a forest, a beach, and a mountain. The mountain covered the back part of the island and the beach acted like a ring covering the outer part of the island. While the forest covered the middle part of the island. With out the island there wouldn’t be a story to tell, so the island does play an important part in the story.

The problem in the book is the plane crashes, they’re stuck on an island, and they have no way off of the island. There were a lot more problems than that like when Piggy was killed, the fir going out, them needing to build shelters, and the beasties. What I learned from the book was how to to survive with you and a group of people. I also learned that you can’t always trust people who are with you. If I were on this island with these kids there would be a few number of kids I wouldn’t trust like Jack, or Roger.

  The Outsiders

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The book that I read was the called " The Outsiders." The author was S.E. Hinton. The book was mainly about a boy named Ponyboy running away with one of his friends. He ran away because his older brother got mad at him for coming home late. His friend's name was Johnny. Ponyboy ran away because They were apart of a gang called the "Greasers". Their rival gang were called " Soc". Soc is short for Socials. The Greasers lived in the east while the Socs lived in the west.

The book told a excellent story. A lot of it sounded believable. The plot as almost perfectly made and it wasn’t forced. It was not hard to concentrate on the story because it was so good. My mind didn’t wander a lot when I was reading. The story took place in. The setting makes the book a great book. The setting plays a big part for the characters in the book.

The problems in the book were Ponyboy running away, and the Greasers and the Socs fighting. What the book taught me was that it would be a bad idea to run away, or join a gang. They did connect with each other. Some of the characters did develop during the story. I can com pear my self with Ponyboy because we are both the middle child in are family.

A couple of surprises that kept me liking the book was Johnny dieing, Pony boy running away, Dally getting killed, and getting jumped by the Soc. Some chapter did end with cliff hangers. Most of the dialog was believable. I liked the book because it was believable.

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The Boy In Striped Pajamas
<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The book that I read for the third trimester was called //The Boy In Striped Pajamas//. The author's name was John Boyne. The genre of the book is fiction and nonfiction because the holocaust did happen but the story about Bruno did not happen. The book told a pretty good story even though. I think that plot is believable and that it could have happened in real life. <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The story told a good story. Most of the story I can believe could happen like Bruno moving away because of his dad being in the military and all. <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
