I read a book called Rodzina. It is set in the 1800's orphan trains. This is a time period in America when orphans were put on trains and taken out West stopping for hopeful caretakers and food. Our main character, Rodzina, is on this train hostile, agitated and homesick. All she want to do is go back to Chicago in the orphanage. It might not have been much but it was home for her. One the train she meets a feeble girl named Phoebe. Somehow Rodzina befriends her and becoming seperated from Pheobe and countless times of reject, makes this one of the hardest parts of her life
ReplyDeleteI believe the Kent County public library is a great place for people of many ages. They have many books and activities set up to make reading more fun. What I love the most is that the library itself may not have a specific book you can still get it. If the book you want is in any Delaware library the book can come to the KCPL and you can pick it up
ReplyDeleteBo Biden visited our school once and told us about Internet safety. Same thing with the website. What I would like to know is why are some horrible websites made and aren't deleted. Does our government not have the power to do that? Or are they unconcerned about this issue?
ReplyDeleteI am reading the giver it is amazing even thought i am only on chapter 4. Its about this kid whos name is jones, live a very strict life. (it is like the hunger games but worse in a way of rules but better in a way of conditions and health and there are no deadly games. Still it relates so much but ist so diffrent.)

ReplyDeleteI read a book called The Youngest Templar. The main character Tristan lives at a time in which England is at war. He goes from an orphan to a squire and is entrusted with the holy grail which he must see to safety. It's a very interesting book and I'm going to read the next one in the series.
ReplyDeleteThe setting of my story, Les Misérables, is 19th Century France, in a town called Montreuil-sur-mer. This is important to and impacts the story because it is a town that is abundant with poverty, and part of the book focuses on poverty in this time period.
ReplyDeleteThis story is told from third person omniscient, which means it uses pronouns such as he, she, and it, and focuses on the lives of many characters instead of just one. If one of the characters in the story, such as Fantine or Jean Valjean, were to narrate the story in the first person, the format would be different in the fact that it would focus mainly on that person and their life.
*I accidentally commented this previously on the Fiction: Science section.

ReplyDeleteI have read a book called the False Princess. It is sent in 1100 and is about a girl named Sinda (Thought to be Nalia). What jappems is before a baby to the royal family is born they go to the oracle and they get a telling of something that happens to the child, like how they die or winning a battle. The king and queen learned that their daughter might die before the age of 16 so they sent her away and brought Sinda. After 16 years Sinda learns she has been a fake a whole time but when she goes to visit her best friend from the castle she learns something is not right beause now there is a second false princess, the real princess nowhere to be found
ReplyDeleteI recently read A Study in Scarlet, a Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This story takes place in late 19th century London, the place where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson reside as flatmates at 221B Baker Street. This setting impacts the story because it is where the murders of Messrs. Drebber and Stangerson occur. Without the murders, there would be no plot, and no need for the consulting detective and his colleague the retired military doctor.
ReplyDeleteMy story was called "Seeds of Hope" which was a gold rush of 1849 based diary. It took place in (You guessed it) California. It is told by a girl named Susanna Fairchild traveling to Oregon with her sister and father. They stopped in California however because their father wanted to try and gain money he lost. If the story was told in a different point of view, it would tell about a different story but have the same historical events. There is a character that Susanna meets along the way called Rosa. She has many brothers. I think one of those brothers remind me of me the best because they help Rosa a lot like I help my family a lot.
ReplyDeleteYou got me hooked now, Keino. Does dad get his money back? Does the family get to Oregon? I guess I will have to read this myself :) What will be your next summer read? More historical fiction?
