This book was so good! It is summer and Pacy is going with her family to visit Taiwan for the summer. Pacy isn't quite thrilled, but she knows she has to go. They're celebrating her grandmother's 60th birthday! To keep her occupied, Pacy's parents sign her up for a painting class, her sister a lettering class, and her younger sister a paper cutting class. Except...the class for her isn't going to well. She can't seem to do any of it right. Pacy makes all sorts of memories and experiences on this vacation. One of her favorite are eating dumplings! Who doesn't like dumplings? This book was magnificent and I liked it so much because the author visited my school! Happy reading! I rate this book 5/5.

In life you need to not give up because a girl named lrene dini’t up and she has been throw a lot things in the short story Brave lrene wanted to give the dress to the duchess instead of her mom doing it in the story, “Brave Irene” by William staig Irene learns to not give up because if she gave up she would’nt be where she is right now. She probably went to see her mom face again and The Duchess would’nt get the dress that she wanted, Irene would just be freezing in the cold with nothing no blanket and it’s snowing she can’t even make a fire because snow is pretty much water and you need to put on a fire with water one reason when lrene did it give up is when the wind told her to go home thing, another reason is she fell in a hole For example the wind told her to go home lrene was scared but she didn't get up because she wanted to make her mom proud and not waste all of her mom's time stitching up The Duchess dress that's how she never give up and in the text it says, “the wind said go home lrene said I will do no such thing”. Another example is that she is brave to go bring the duchess her dress. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is lrene I was looking for the dress after she lost it and she couldn't see with all the snow in her eyes and she fell in a hole and twisted her leg I'm sure it hurt but Irene kept on walking on the path. In the text she, “said ouch and there was a little tear that went down her cheek she wipt it off quickly so it won't freeze on her face”another example that she is brave is to go when it’s snowing. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is she was freezing but she kept on walking and she was so cool a lot and she just kept on going on and he didn't think that you were going to die. And she was thinking about her mom and how she wanted to get back to her mom because she was really sick. In the text it says that she was, “shuffling through the snow.'' Another example that she is Brave is to takc care of her mom. This shows that lrene is brave. As you can see lrene it is very carrying and she is loving and she is very brave because she loves her mom and she does the work for her mom and she gives her mom a quilt and she meets her some lemon tea with honey. And she never gives up because if she did give up then she cannot see her mom’s face again and The Duchess won'tl get her dress that she wants and everything will all be messed up. And I'm sure that thay will all Miss Irene even if they don't know her I think that this book was awesome because I really enjoyed it and it made a lot of sense and it is something that I will be again and again definitelyand I am happy that she accomplished what she wanted to do.

In the book The Marble Champ Lupe learns to never give up even when things get hard. I know this because it said that she did some thumb push-ups and she was out of breath but she never gave up. She Kept on doing your thumb push-ups, when she had beat the neighbor kid that I happen to be very good at marbles. She was excited for herself and she thought “ I might be good enough for a tournament”,. She never gave up when she was practicing no matter how hard her thumb hurted or how hard it was hard to beat her brother or the neighbor kid she never gave up. And she never gave up when she saw that the girl in the baseball cap with a dead straight face on and Lupe said to her dad. “ I don't know Dad, she looks pretty tough.” but she did it and she won. My first reason that Lupe never gives up is when she is doing her thumb push-ups and she runs out of breath. She doesn't say oh well I give up on being The Marble Champ she keeps going. I know this because when she was in her room on a rainy day and she decided she wanted to be good at something besides school like a sport. So she decided to play marbles she took some marbles out of her dresser (her brothers old marbles) and started practicing she knew she wasn't going to be good unless she practiced so she practiced her marbles against her bedspread and then her legs and then she started putting them in her hand. That's when she found out she had to exercise her thumb for hitting the marble because you have to use your thumb to flick the marble. My second reason that Lupe never gives up is when she beats the neighbor kid and her brother at marbles. I know this because when Lupe was testing how good she was on her neighbor kid he said ” she can beat the other girls for sure I think” . So Lupe was good enough to go to the tournament. She didn't give up because she practiced and practiced to get better. I know it's because in the text it said “practice, practice, practice, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze she got better by doing some thumb push-ups and squeezing an eraser. An effect to her working hard was that she got a huge muscle in her thumb. Her mom even though her thumb was swollen but Lupe said '' it's a muscle”. My third reason that Lupe never gives up is when she was in the tournament and she saw the girl with the baseball cap and a dead serious face and she didn't know if she could beat her. I know this because when she was at the tournament and she was in the last competition because she beat all the other girls. She said to her dad “ I don't know Dad she looks pretty tough” and her friend Rachel said “Go get her”. (Rachel is one of the girls who competed against Lupe and Lupe asked her to join the team to cheer her on). In conclusion in the book The Marble Champ Lupe learns to never give up even when things get hard. I know this because it said that she did some thumb push-ups and she was out of breath but she never gave up she Kept on doing thumb push ups, when she had beat the neighbor kid that I happen to be very good at marbles.And she never gave up when she saw that the girl in the baseball cap with a dead straight face on and she said to her dad “ I don't know Dad she looks pretty tough.” but she did it and she won.

In life people will want you to do things you don't wanna do. In the story ‘’The Other Side’’ by Jacqueline Woodson clover wanted to play with the people on the other side of the fence but her mom and friend Sandra didn’t want her to. Luckily it didn’t stay that way forever. ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say. My first reason for this is that when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence, And when her friend told her not to play with the other girl (Annie), And lastly when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. My first reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence. What i mean by this is if she had listened to her mom she would have never met Annie. Also if she would have took her mom’s advice the whole book would have never of happened, and there wouldn’t be a story to tell about this. I know this because in the part clover starts explaining where she lives and it says ‘’And mama said, Don’t climb over that fence when you play. She said it wasn’t safe.’’ This shows that if she would have listened to her mom she would have never got to play with Annie. My second reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her friend Sandra told her not to play with Annie. What i mean by this is when they were playing jump rope and Annie walked up to them and asked to play but it says ‘’And my friend Sandra said no without even asking the rest of us.’’ This shows that Sandra probably said no because she didn’t want clover and the other girls to play with Annie. My final reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. If she would have listened to her mom and just stayed inside she might not have got to introduce herself to Annie. In the part that this happened her and her mom were going back and forth about her playing outside on that rainy day and it says ‘’ Mama wouldn’t let me go outside in the rain.’’ This shows that her mom hasn’t really been a help to their friendship. And it is also a good thing that she didn’t listen to her mom.

It really tells a lot about how one little thing,in this case a dog, can completely change you and your life. It also tells a bunch of facts and the vs about the Gobi desert. It is really cool to see this story and friendship take place. I also love that it is a completely true story! Finding Gobi is and will be one of the best books I have ever read!

Mulan is my favorite movie

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The world and the news were on fire. You were probably alive when this happened. Titan and the Wild Boars (The True Cave Rescue Of The Thai Soccer Team.) Written by Susan Hood and Pathana Sornhiran, illustrated by Dow Phumiruk. Published in 2019. Titan and the Wild Boars is dramatic, fun, outstanding, and very well written. Titan and the Wild Boars is about a Thai soccer team getting stuck in a cave. After practice the team decides to go exploring in a cave. They have already explored the cave before, so they thought it was safe (bad idea.) It started to rain, A LOT and the cave was flooded with rainwater, which was NOT good. They were stuck for 18 days! Through some deaths and tears...the boys and coach made it out alive. After the cave incident, the team went to the hospital. They were given food and water. I mean, 18 days without FOOD, I can’t even go 1 minute!!!!! Some water was clean and dripped down from the ceiling, and that’s what they drank! But through all of that… they are still alive. My favorite part of this story is all the heroes, but I have more. I like the heroes because they risk their lives for 19 people! One person even DIED for them. All of them tried so hard to try to find and rescue the team. When divers found them the world rejoiced! NEWS: They found the boys! We do not need to panic! Thank you for the Navy, and more for trying to find them! Then the worst part of the story happened…(But you have to wait) The illustrations were amazing! Also props to the authors of the story. If you are in upper elementary school, middle school or for an easy read in high school, there is a book called Rising Water. This book gives you more information about the story. (GET A TISSUE FOR THIS PARAGRAPH) The most memorable part of this story is Saman Kunan, because...he...died. (I know it’s HARSH) You see Saman was a Navy SEAL diver and volunteer. He was going looking for the team. With his partner. Let me remind you that it’s pitch black in the cave. Close your eyes for a second...that’s basically how dark it was. Even their lights barely helped! So if you lost something, you LOST IT. Well Saman didn’t lose a sandwich he… lost…his...life. I KNOW IT’S HARSH. You see he was looking for the boys with his partner, and his mouthpiece fell off. His partner tried to help, but he fell unconscious. Before he fell unconscious, he and his partner tried to find the mouthpiece. But… it was lost, he died at around, one am, on Friday, July 6, 2018. This was the first time the world stopped spinning. Not actually. But, it did feel like it. After the boys were rescued Titan’s relatives made a picture of Saman. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Make sure to pray for Saman Kunan. For we all shall meet in Heaven. Titan And The Wild Boars is fun, sad, jeerful, and very well written. I recommend this book to lighthearted people because to read this book you need to not get sad easily. I DO NOT recommend this book to people who can’t take sad things because as you know someone does die. Also if you get scared easily DO NOT read this book! Don’t forget that, 1. There is another book for upper elementary school st, middle school, and high school students, and 2. You were probably alive when this happened. HOPE YOU ENJOYED!!!

Have you ever read The Undefeated? The authors of this book are Kuame Alexander and Kadir Nelson. The book was written on May 11 2018. This is a good book because they have some famous people who broke records and made their place in history. This book took place all around the world. The famous musicians, boxers, basketball players, swimmers got hurt during their lifetime. They came to the United States because they weren’t treated right. They stayed brave and positive. It ended really well. I like this book a lot. My favorite part of this book is, I like how they describe The Undefeated. I also like how they said, “ The ones who scored with chains in one hand and faith in the other”. I like how they stand up for themselves. This story makes me feel the emotions of the characters. It made me feel like I should be strong because they said some people are unflappable. It shows me all the people that died because people don’t like black people. It makes me want to help them out and stick up for them. It is not fair to judge people who are different than yourself. This book is a good book because it shows all the undefeated people that are famous, or made a place in history. The message is to be strong, be positive. I think my mom and dad would like this book because they would be interested in it and like it a lot. I would not recommend this to my cousins Cooper, Coner, and CJ because they would think it is a funny suggestion from them. This book is one that all people should take time to read because it is always the reader to see the world in another person’s shoes.

Camryn Augustyn 11-13-2020 MCDS 4-19 Language Arts Do you like to dance? Good, because today I am going to be talking about the book Katerina Ballerina by Tiler Peck and Kyle Harris and the illustrator of this book is Sumiti Collina. The book was written in May 2020. I thought the book was well written because it captured all the action and it made me want to keep reading and reading the book! In the story, Katerina Ballerina, Katerina is the main character. The story usually took place at home, school, or ballet. But there is a problem, Katirina’s dad was running low on money to pay for her ballet lessons. When Katirina found out about that she immediately went to town and danced to make some money to pay for her ballet lessons herself, but her dad would not let her. At her ballet there was a show where you could perform a dance that you made up on stage and Katirina decided to do it with her friend, but right before they went on stage her friend got hurt, so Katirina had to do it by herself. What will happen,........SHE WON!!! And she got to take free ballet lessons. Some things that I like most about the book were it captured all the details like what they said, did, and thought. Another thing that I like about the book was there was a problem and it went throughout the story so it made me want to keep reading it to see what would happen next. My last favorite thing about the book is I liked how the story was ordered. This paragraph is going to be my opinion of the characters in the story! The first character that I am going to be talking about is Katirina. In the story, Katrina is the main character,I thought she was a really good character in the story because she told the story really well and had good character traits. The second character is Katirina’s dad. I liked Katirina’s dad as one of the characters because he was nice to Katirina, but he was not one of my favorite characters because he did not have much to say. The next character is Katirina’s friend. Katirina’s friend is one of my favorite characters because she was a good friend and I would love to be her friend. Also the story would be very different without her in it. The last character is Katirina’s dog. The dog is one of my favorite characters because he sounded really cute and friendly in the story, even though they did not really talk about him too much I still think he is an important character. Those are some of my opinions of the characters!!! If you like to dance then this book is definitely for you and I recommend it, because it is a really good story and you will want to keep reading it to see what will happen next! If you do not like dance or are not interested in it then this book is probably not for you because it is about a girl who dances.
