The name of my book is Bad Girls Don't Die, And the author of my book is, Katie Alender. The scene that i am thinking of in my book is a scene in the very beginning of the book. On pages...1-8. This scene is out in the woods. The scene contains the main character and her sister.
It all started when The main character(Alexis) was out in the woods, being curious, taking pictures. She was taking pictures when she heard a rustling in the bushes. She started saying things like "here kitty Kitty" and things like "present yourself kitty". But when it didn't present it self. She started getting worried until her sister(kasey) came out and burst out laughing because she thought what Alexis said was funny. But then they saw a light in the window of there house where they had never seen a light before. It wasn't there room and it wasn't there parents room so what was it...You will have to read it to see!

I am reading a book caleed "The Green Glass Sea" by Ellen Klages. I am on page 106.When Suze arrived in Mexio,where her dad lives she was very surprised. The reason is because when he arrived there, they were only some tall buildings and nothing else around. HEr dad was in the army,and were they were no one was able to have anything.They were no stores,schools,or parks around. The only thing that they had were big open fields, and little houses where everyone lived in.Before she moved to Mexico,she lived in St.Louis. That place was always field with people around stores all alround, kids running up and down the streets, and everyone was always shareing everything with there frinesd. When Suze was in MExico with her dad, no one was ever able to tell their personal information, like where they live, and their phone number.

Right now I just finished a book called A Boy No More and started reading the next book A Boy At War. I am currently on page 14, the author is Harry Mazer. My book is a novel about Pearl Harbor. The most important scene is when the main character, Adam, and his friends, Davi and Martin, are fishing in Pearl Harbor. Adam's father is an officer in the Navy on the USS Arizona. The boys see plains flying above their heads and they think that it might be a practice run until Adam sees Japanese symbols on the planes, but before he can say anything the planes start dropping bombs on Pearl Harbor and shooting. Adam is shot but the bullit only grazes him, and a stick getsimbedded in Martin's chest. Then before Adam's eyes the Arizona is lifted out of the water and it splits apart and sinks before his eyes.

I am reading "The Grave." By James Heneghan, and I'm on page 79. To start, there is a scene where Tom is curious about the grave site and wants to learn more. It was a cold stormy black night, Tom and his friend Brian decided that they wanted to adventure into the unknown. The jumped a tall black fence surrounding the perimeter, and silently avoided the guard. Finally they made a little bit to much noise the guard heard them, Tom was startled and fell in to the construction site, to later awake alone in 1876 Ireland.

auoellette3 said...

The name of the book i am reading is Bully for you, Teddy Roosevelt and the author of the book is Jean Fritz. The scene i want to discuss is the beginning of the book when we learn about who Teddy Roosevelt. This is the part that explains what kind of man Teddy is and brings what the whole book will be about. Teddy doesn't go around on his adventures yet! This is the part of the book that forshadows what happens next in his adventures and personal life. This scene goes on from chapter 1 to 2. In the process of reading the book i find this book cliff hanging even as a biography.

aouellette3 said...

amonari2,
You descirbe this scene to the extent that makes me want to read your book.

aouellette3 said...

Your discription is very, very interesting.

My book is Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli. I am on page 68. The scene I am going to talk about you need back round info to make since of it. Maniac Magee ran away from home and is in a town where the town is split up between black and white people. Maniac live with a balck family he befriend and the entire rest of the black communty hates him. So in my scene Maniac goes with his "Brother and sisters" to a hydrent that the top was popped off of. He was having fun and splashing in the water when he heard someone say "go home white boy." This was on page 61. This is when Maniac saw that he was not welcome on the East side of town. His "Family" tries to plead with him but Maniac runs again. He leaves his family behind.

I am reading a book by Walter Sorrells called Hunted:Fake ID. I am on page 102 and a mass of events are occuring. One of the events is when Chasity, the main character, is kidnapped, took deep into the forest, and forced to dig her grave. I pictured the sky very dark as they were driving down the road and then, as they pulled into the forest, pitch black. In the forest I imagined that, looking up, you could not see the sky, not because it was dark, but because the branches from all sorts of trees were entwined with each other creating a canopy. I pictured Chasity looking petrified with a steel shovel in her hand, like she didn't know what to do next. There was a small clearing of trees, in my imagination, in which Chasity began slowly digging a long, rectangular ditch.

I have began a new book so there has not been a important scene yet but i got one. My book is Woman Against Slavery The story of Harriet Beecher Stowe. John Anthony Scott wrote the book. The scene is a neighbor going to visit a slaveholder. The neighbor tells the slaveholder that if you are a slaveholder you cant be christan. The slaveholder disagrees with the neighbor. He sends for the slave and wants him to tell the neghbor that he is very christan. The slave says he cant because he was not christan. The slaveholder had the slave beat until he admit that he was christan. The slave did not so he was beat to dealth.

Watership Down
By: Richard Adams
Page number(s): 110-111
Bigwig lay on his side kicking and struggling. A length of twisted copper wire was looped around his neck. For a moment he lay panting, there was a pause. Then Bigwig's back legs began to kick again but feebly. His ears drooped and blood dripped from his mouth. He scratched at the ground covering himself with wet dirt and blood. Hazel and Fiver stared at him with horror and distress, they needed to help their friend.

Gcosta3,

I am reading Tom Cruise, by Phelan Powell, I am currently on page 78. The scene in my book is when Tom first played a villain's role in a movie. The movie was named Interview with the Vampire. Tom portrayed a young guy with a moral dilemma who just happens to have a young woman nearby to loyally engourage him onto the right path. Tom really got into the role, and even before filming the book stated, 'He would even walk around and talk to the stage workers, acting like he was from back in the day.'

cmazza3 said...

The book I am currently reading is called "Harry Potter and the Socerers Stone." I've just finished the book and it was pretty good and the author's name is J.K. Rowling. One of my favorite scenes is when it was Dudley's birthday and Dudley went to the zoo with his mom and dad and Harry. They all went to the Reptile room, Dudley saw a snake and demanded his father to wake it up. But then Harry said" Hes asleep!" The family got bored and walked away, Harry began talking to the snake about where it lived, did it know it's parents all of that stuff. It woke up and started responding to the questions util Dudley came over and knocked Harry to the ground. He yelled " Mom,pa look at this!" Harry gave him a angry look and all of a sudden the glass was gone and Dudley fell inside. The snake broke free and made his way out of the zoo. Dudley got up to get out but he was trapped, the glass was back.

djknowles3 said...

The book I am reading is SEER OF SHADOWS by Avi. I'm on page 99. The scene I am picturing now is when Horace is secretly taking pictures of the VonMatchet's daughter. This scene takes place on pages 66-78. Horace and his boss are taking pictures of this family's dead daughter, Eleanora. The reason he was doing that was to trick Mrs. VonMatchet into thinking her dead daughter is haunting her. So, Horace's boss hooked him up with a secret camera device that was disguised as a button on his jacket. After that, he went around the house looking for pictures of Eleanora. He clipped three good ones and then there was the fourth one he took. It was an accidental picture that he took when the servant Pegg bumped into him. In that fourth picture he spots Eleanor’s ghost...You will have to wait to hear what next happens!

As soon as everyone was dismissed, Massie ran to the private teacher’s bathroom, avoiding everyone. She was so embarrassed because everyone is going to have to wear uniforms because of her. She was fighting back her tears when she heard the bathroom door open. Massie immediately recognized that chipmunky voice. It was Claire. Massie asked if it was safe.

The scene I am thinking about is when Harry jumps into the luggage cart (under his invisibility cloak) to listen to what Malfoy has to say. Harry doesn't really hear anything useful. But when he jumped into the luggage cart Malfoy saw him and pretended he didn't see him. After everyone leaves he stuns Harry and throws the invisibility cloak on him so that no one can see him or hear him. Luckily someone finds him.

The name of my book is Don't tell anyone and the author is Peg Kehret.
When she looked back at the street, she saw a minivan coming toward her from the right. She realized she and the minivan would reach the center of the intersection at the same time. Lacie slammed on her brakes, blasted her horn, and yanked the steering wheel to the left, trying to avoid a collision.The cars collided. Lacie smelled the hot rubber from the tires. The minivan hopped the curb and shudder to a stop in an empty field. With her heart thundering in her ears, Lacie stepped on the gas and roared up the on-ramp to the freeway.

The name of my book is A Child Called It. The author is Dave Pelzer. The sence that i'm thinking about is when mother made Dave eat his vomit. Mother normally wouldnt let Dave eat. When she found out that he was stealing food from other kids lunch boxes and from the store she beat him. Then she walked him to the bathroom and tried to stick her finger down his throat. Dave then bent over and threw up the food he stole from the school. She made him pick the chuncks out of the toilet and put them into a bowl. She walked him back to the table and made him eat it.

My book is PLANTS WITHOUT LEAVES. The author is Ross E. Hutchins and I am on page ninety-seven. Fungi is the source of life for many insects. These insects are commonly found harvesting plant parts like leaves and such. Nay, they do not eat these products that they collect. The bark and leaf scavengered by the insects, such as ambroasia beetles and carpenter ants, are instead used as compost for their own mini fungi farms!

The name of my book is The Glass Castle. The author is Jeannette Walls. The scene that I am thinking of in my book is a scene in the beginning of the book. It started on page 9-14. This scene is in a hospital. The scene contains the narrator, brian her brother, mom, and her mom. It all started when the main character's dress caught on fire and was on a stretcher going to the hospital. She was filled up of bandages and patches, which covered her up like a mummy. The nurse showed her what bubble gum is and gave her hospital food anytime she wants. She thought it was paradise until her dad carried her running out of the hospital. It is an amazing book and you have to read it.

The title of my book was Forged by Fire. The author of the book is Sharon M. Draper. I'M done with the book now. In my head i could see second to last scene in the book. It was after Jordan (angel's father) had raped Angel (Gerald's little sister). The house ended up catching on fire during the situation between Jordan and Angel. Jordan did not know because of how drunk he was. Gerald was walking home from practice andsaw smoke coming from his apartment building. He raced up stairs and saw what Jordan had done to Angel. Gerald had become furious and began to fight Jordan. Jordan had fell bumped his on the television' knocked it over, gathered his things and left while Gerald tried to save his sister.
