    My favorite part is when Alex thinks he has a great curve ball, so he goes to show his friends but it dose not tern out great. It was so bad the ball couldn't even touch the home plate. All of Alex's friends laugh so hard they almost thew up.

  9. My reading the book called The Secret Language of Girls by Frances O'Roark Dowell.The main characters are Kate and Marilyn, who changes her name to Marylin. This book is really good, in my opinion. Kate's dad had a mild heart attack, with a good recovery.Marylin and Kate had a big fight at Marylin's sleepover with all of her friends. I hope that Kate and Marylin become friends again!

  10. The book that I am reading right now is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. My favorite part is when he is flying to his Dad's house in Canada because his parents are divorced, and the pilot has a heart attack and dies. Brian doesn't no what to do, and then the plane runs out of gas, so Brian steers the plane to a lake nearby to land on! The reason I liked that part was because it has a lot of action, and I like action! One of the parts I don't understand was when he is in this little cave like a cave you can see from the front to the back. He was using it for his for house, and it said that a porcupine comes, and Brian was at the front of the cave I don't really know where it came from?

So she went in the shop and this big dog was running around, and the man said whose dog is this no answer okay we are taking him to the dog pound and then she came in and said this is my dog said the girl. Really said the man then what is his name? Said the man. Winn Dixie said the girl. The questions I ask was why did she take the dog and what would she do with. She kept the dog and made sure he was okay.

  13. My independent reading book is called The Kind of Friends we Used to Be by Frances o'roark Dowell. It is so far about two girls named Marylin and Kate who used to be friends that could tell any thing, but now that Marylin becomes a prissy cheerleader and Kate becomes the nerd of the school they do not really fit together like old times. Kate is now a girl that is not very liked many people because of her boots and taste in style. While Marylin is being a popular prissy princess like one of her new friends Mazie. My favorite part in the book is probably when Marylin met Benjamin started to dance his ballet dance that he learned in dance school. A question that I have about the book is if Kate takes Marylin's advise and changes her sense of style will Marylin be her friend again?
