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 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.

Today the book I read was "Nelson Mandela: Voice of Freedom" by Libby Hughes. I read this book because it was just gathering dust on my book-shelf and I wanted to gather more knowledge on Mr. Mandela's life. Also because I read the blurb and it reads "Let us join hands with all people of conscience throughout the world... Let justice triumph without delay. Blessed are the peacemakers."- Nelson Mandela. This quote made me think that when I read this book it won't only tell me just about his life, but it will explain the truggles of everyone in segration.

Something I learned was that Nelson Mandela was released from jail in Cape Town, South Africa. He went to jail because he was outspoken and showed militant resistance to the racial segregation in South Africa. He was happy that he could walk out of jail 27 years later with his wife by his side, he was about 44 or 45 when he was arrested and 71 when he was released from prison. Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa along the Umbashe River which flows into the Indian Ocean. His mother's name was Nosekeni Fanny and his father's name was Mphakanyiswa Gadla(Henry Mandela). He did have the right to say speek the truth because he believed that blacks should have the same rights as white and segragation sould stop and all people should join hands.

The book I am reading is called "Swindle" by Gordon Korman. Today I read from chapter 4 to chapter 10 and these chapters were funny just like chapters 1-4. One of the funny parts was when Savannah started talking weird she was talking about "a miserable waste of dog food, I've shown you nothing but kindness. You don't deserve rabies, you should get in a rock and fly to Alpha Centauri. Evil soulless ill- tempered psychopathic canine!" Then Griffin and Ben were looking shocked at her because of what she said. This was funny because i could just picture how Ben, Griffin, and Savannah looked when they were standing there. I pictured the a image in my mind the same way as the book described it with Ben grabbing her and she tugs away from him and starts speaking weirdly. Then Griffin and Ben look at her weirdly like what are you talking about.

I think another part that was good, but not as funny as the first one I talked about. This part was on page 85 when Griffin was talking adout Ben and how he was the smallest 6th grader. Also how Ben would be able to sweeze into a tiny space. Ben didn't care because he would say "no pain no game, this is for million dollars." Griffin knew the money was fake and so did Ben. It was to help the Bings keep their house.

The book I am reading is called "A Chet Gecko Mystery: The Mystery of Mr. Nice " by Bruce Hale. Today I finished reading this book and at the end of the book Principal Zero was deciding whether there should be school during their school break. The principal had this idea because of the food fight that happened during the lunch period and no one would confess to starting the food fight. Soon after Chet Gecko, Natalie (Chet Gecko's side-kick), cops, the froggers and Principal Zero planned a PTA meeting to discuss whether the students should attend school during the break. The parents on the PTA committee and Principal Zero decided that the school will have a break and the students would remain out of school because Chet found the person, Emerson Hicky, who started the food-fight.

When I read the end of the book I thought it would have ended with something more interesting other than Chet catching the bad guys and going home. I would have liked it to end with Emerson running away so that he wouldn't get caught by Chet Gecko and more action involved between Chet and Emerson.

The book I'm reading is "A Chet Gecko Mystery: The Mystery of Mr. Nice" by Bruce Hale. I think millions of people may have read this book because in 2007 and 2008 it was the best saling kids book. Also I think that alot of people have read it because almost every one chose this book when we did book talks. I would recommend this book to any one because first it is exciting, second is that it is like a normal school day but just as animals, and third it makes you think 'Sould he have done that? What would I do if i were him?'. A book I would like to read is a book called "A Child Named It". This book is not connect to the Chet Gecko series at all this, is a book I have been looking for in the class library to read. I found out about this book through a 7th grader in my school they were talking about it and what it was about. I think I have read 17 book through out this school year.

A non- fiction book I read was the book "YES WE CAN", a biograph of Barack Obama by Garen Thomas. This book was published in July 2008 a fue months into his election champaign and before he was President Elect on November 4, 2008. This book talks about how he was home schooled and his mom would wake him up at about 3:00 am and would teach him until 9:00 am or sometimes 11:00 am. Also how when his fahter died in a car cash. Then at the end of his year in high school his mother died of cancer. Also how he went to three colleges (Harvard Law School, Columbia University, and Occidental College). This book also talked about him being Senator of Illinois. The last thing it talked book was Michelle Obama and their two daughters, also his road to become President of the United States.

I read this book because I was forced by mom, but as I got in to the I read it because Barack Obama had a hard life his dad died and his mom didn't have alot of money to go to a good elementry school. I like non- fiction better because it has alot of adventure and crazy events ,but that could really happen. I would like to read Caribeania pioneer, sings, and sports players I think we should read about the Caribeans history and famous people because they arent't be told.

In 2010 I don't have hope for this year to be good. I first don't have hope because 2009 hasn't shown me that something good is going to happen, this year I am I am just turning 12 there's nothing special about that. I also think that Barack Obama is not go to do anything about the economy, he did a good job on health care now all we need i to do now is fix the economy and Global Warning, then the world will be one big happy place to live. I also think this year doesn't have a good out look because one of the greatest performers in the history of R&B and Pop. I think that This year for me is going to be special, I plan on not being in trouble all of the time. I am also going to try to get my grade average up in each class.

2010 is going to be good for me, I don"t know if it is going to change for some one else but for me I want a fresh start so i can say: This I the New and Improve CHASE REED of 2010. This year I want to be more successful, because of different motivations, feel so ambitious, I can make anything possible. This year I hope there is less violence. I also hope for the troops in war win and come home as soon as possible. I also hope people decide finally that hate verses hate equals hate. Everyone says it but never apply it to them self. I also hope the Cleveland Cavalier beats ht Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals if they make it.

The book I am reading is called "Dairy of a Wimpy Kid: Greg Heffley's Journal" this book is funny and is good its like the book was specially made for me. This book probably screaming my name saying "Chase come to me. Read me I am the the best book you will ever find." Now that I have read the book I am alreadly planning on reading every book in that series. In the book the funniest part was when he was excited to be sitting between two girls and they were passing notes to each and they were saying how much he was a dork. He also said that on the first day of school be early so that you can have a good perminate seat. At the beggining was also funny when he was explaining why he had the word "Dairy" on the front of the book.

I think that Jeff Kinney may not have been a dork but he is to shy and doesn't care about first impreesion. If I were Kenny I would even know it to late to go from dork to cool. Maybe he should get a trainer to train him to out run Bryce so he could be cool for once.

The book I am reading is "Chocolate Touch" the theme of this book is "lying" is because the main character John Midas lied to his mother. He said that he was not going to eat chocolate again after he had went to the doctors office and the doctor gave him a prescription called "Tonic" for his heath. John hated taking his medicine ,but it became no problem after he ate that magical peace of chocolate. John had lied to his mother also because she told him not to stop taking his classmates candy. When John went back to the candy store he gave the old man another coin with the picture of a fat boy , also the initials JM, for a chocolate and when he got home he hid it under his bed. When his mom finished giving him the tonic he ate the chocolate.

I wouldn't have went back for more candy because my mom would go looking something in my room and would find it.

The book I'm reading is the "Chocolate Touch". The book is good so far because the theme of the part I read was about forgetting. I think him forgetting about eat vegetable because ever since the man that was working at counter gave the main character, John Midas chocolate. The man at the counter said this is the best chocolate in the world, he probably said that to John because he meant it was magic chocolate. I get this idea because when he put something in his mouth it turns to chocolate, for example it was his friend Susan's "Half Dollar Coin" that her dad gave her for her birthday; he ate it because he didn't think it was real so she asked him to bite the coin and it ended up turning into chocolate, then she walked away crying with a crescent shaped coin.

I think that if I was to be in a situation like that i would have freaked out, when doctor can out with a cure for it I my have probably would have went back to the store.

The book I'm reading is "Road to Memphis" . The main theme of this chapter is friendship. The main theme is friendship, know this because the name of chapter two gave it away "Friendship", even if it didn't say friendship; I would know that this is the theme because in this chapter Stacey, Cassie, Moe, and Willie,also the main character had been talking about going to college. Then Moe, his dad, and the rest of the friends were talking about Moe having a car and where they going to keep it.

If I had been Moe I would have ask for each person to contribute some money because they were telling him want he should do with him money. Also I have a connection between the tittle and the book. The book talks about going to college and they may all be going to a college in Memphis.

The book I'm reading is"The Road to Memphis". The main theme of this chapter is about not having patience. I know that this is the main idea because the narrator was being impatient when he and his brothers Christopher-John, and Little Man were waiting for their older brother Stacy, at the bus stop. The narrator was being like that because it was a hot day and they had waiting there for about an hour. Even though he was going to be happy to see, Stacy the bus was taking to long. His brother Christopher-John was getting very frustrated because he couldn't stand people always complained. The narrator was being selfish because he wasn't worried about his brother.
I would have started walking toward where the bus should have been coming from to make sure my brother was okay even though it was hot or dangerous. I would have been mad when the bus came because the wake was to long.
