The book I am reading is “Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Paterson”. The part of the book I read was when Leslie and Jesse started to really get a close connection. Jesse would always be king of Terabithia and Leslie was queen of Terabithia. Then for Christmas Leslie gave him a pack of art supply, and he gave her a nice little dog who they have called PT. Also for Christmas he gave Joyce Ann a head- band which she would blame Santa Clause for, May Belle got a paper dolls. Jesse and Leslie are growing a closer relationship.

At after Jess had broke a 7th’s grader heart because of a note, at recess Jess and Leslie heard her crying because the 7th’s dad beats her and she had told her friends and her friends told everyone which was a rule at the school no matter what happens at home never rat your parents out. In the book Jesse’s mom doesn’t like Leslie because she dresses in jeans always. The father doesn’t like her because he thinks she is probably turning his only son into a woman. Jess always felt sorry for PT because Leslie’s father always kick him out on the street to stay out there over night. I think Jess is mad at May Bell because she follow him and Leslie to Terabithia.

The book I am reading is “Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Paterson. So for this book is good I got up to the part when Jess and Leslie had gone into the wood were Jess didn’t wouldn’t to go to deep into. Jess was scared because it reminded him of the bottom of the ocean (Jess was scared of the sea, ocean, or lakes). The only reason Jess and Leslie got to hangout was because bride May Belle to say Jess was at the Burkes house. They bride her with just paper dolls to not tell momma Jess was with a girl.

Jess and the other younger boys stopped running at recess because of Leslie after she won the heat. The boy stopped just playing “King of the Mountain”, Leslie had officially ended lower grade boy racing at recess. She also became the teacher’s pet with her excellent and outstanding writing; which Jess thought wasn’t a good idea to do at Lark Creek. Then there was a homework assignment that got her teased because she didn’t have a TV; also thought she shouldn’t have said she could have used his TV. Then I also learn that Leslie’s family moved to a poor area because they thought they were taking money for grannit. The chapter I learned a lot about Leslie and her life, also amagination.

The "Bridge to Terabithia" by Katherine Paterson. The part of the book I read was when Jess met a girl that moved across the street. Her name was Leslie Burke, she came across the street and started talking to Jess, he had the feel that she liked him. Then he walked away to milk the cow. Earlier on in the chapter him sister, May Belle, said that she wished that the girl across the street was seven because she needed some one to play with so Jess thought that wouldn't be happy.

I think that Jess' life is hard. It seems hard because he is the only boy of four girls. I think that it is also hard because he has to do all the work.

1. The right that I thought was most important was “Receive a written copy of the school’s policies and procedures, including the discipline code and the New York City Department of Education Bill of Student Rights and Responsibilities, early in the school year or upon admission to the school during the school year”.

2. This student right is surprising because I didn’t know high School education was given to people at the highest age of 21 “Attend school and receive a free public school education from kindergarten to age 21 or receipt of a high school diploma, whichever comes first, as provided by law; students who have been determined to be English Language Learners are entitled to bilingual education or English as a second language program as provided by law; students with disabilities who have been determined to be in need of special education are entitled to a free appropriate public education from age 3 until age 21, as provided by law.”

3. No, I don’t think my right are protect FDA because of the High School and some of the classroom prosegers my teachers classrooms.

The book I am reading is called “The Secret to Teen Power” by Paul Harrington. This book is like a book for solving problems you may come across, or maybe problems you didn’t solve that well. This book is also a book of thinking then solving mentally the strategy. So the chapter I read was called “Powerful Processes: Secret Power Plays”. In this part of the book it talked about gratitude and how teens always say thank- you and please. And when you don’t mean it so that we are ingrate for our family, classmates, teachers, even our best friends.

Then in my book they gave examples of things you are grateful for: god, family, clothes and etcetera. I did not finish this part and I can’t wait to finish it.

The book I am reading is called “The Secret: To Teen Power” by Paul Harrington. I decide to read this book because it was a new book that my mom brought me from Barns and Noble. So I thought since I was about 1 year away from being a teen I should read it so it can give me advise. A quote that I like is about the book it. The quote said that this book lets you “Be all you can be and achieve all you can achieve”. Then in chapter two the book started talking about Shane Gould, the lesson learned was to never sweat someone else winning gold and to always go for yours.

Also a paragraph or three that talks about that the lesson learned in his story was that the reflection of your life is a reflection of your vibe. Also another good quote is “We are the music- markers, And we are the dreamers of dreams “- Arthur O’ Shaughnessy a quote from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I would give this book 90% out of 100%.

The book I am reading is Called "Holes" by Louis Sachar. So far I like like this book it seems to interest me. I give this book two thumbs up. Today I have read that Stanley gets sent to Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake is a camp for young teens. The camp is only for boys, at this camp they dig holes in order to find a object that has not been notified in the book, but when they find an object they are to give it to the object to the warden.

There was no one on the bus when Stanley was on his way to the camp except the guard who was holding a rifle laid across his lap. Stanley was seated in the last row with hand cuffs on. Camp Green Lake was a lake over one hundred and it was the biggest land in Texis now it was just dry waste land. Stanley also was named Caveman as a nick name that mean that he was welcomed and accepted as a friend to the people in his cabin. He also mad Zero talk. Zero was the boy that got Stanley caught but Zero got in the camp first. Zero got his named from him never talking.

The I am reading is called "Swindle" by Gordon Korman. This book is a good book so far but not the best I have read. If I had to do a survey I would give this book a thumbs up and one down or a 6/10. so far I have read from chapter 4 to chapter 9. Today I read that this boy named Luther got hold of what Griffin, Savannah, and Ben were do in S. Wendell Palomino house.So Luther was held hostage and then he threaded them to let him go or else he would tell ever one what was going on in there.

The one thing I like about this book is that it shows notes from Griffin notebook in the book I am reading, its like a book inside of a book. In his notes he writes:

Major Obstacles

(i) Padlocked GATE

(ii)7- foot- high FENCE

I think that this is like the best part of the book because it show the Griffin is ready it get his card back. Also this shows that his first step is be organized and I like that.
