1 – 200 of 219 Newer› Newest»I'm reading Sand Dollar Summer by Kimberly Jones and I'm currently on page 172. In this story the main characters mom is in a bad car accident and is hospitalized for a while. I can relate to this because when my dad had a heart attack he was in the hospital for a while, too. The main characters mom had to do a lot to recover from the accident, like physical therapy and not being able to do anything. My dad had to stay home for an extra month and couldn't do a lot of exercise so that his heart would heal.

qdjames: It sounds like a good book.
acchritian: Keep up the good work.
I am currently reading Eggs by Jerry Spinelli and I am on page 93. I can relate to the main character in the book because at one point in my life, I made a friend who was the opposite of me. Just like him, it was difficult for me at first. The main character struggles to find things him and Primrose have in common. I also found it hard in the beginning to make friends with her, but it ended up being worth it.
emasio6,
That sounds like a great book!
qdjames
Good job!
I am currently reading 'Ghost is the Machine Ryan's Journal" by Patrick Carmen and I am on page 67. So far in the book it has talked about an unfortunate event that took place which resulted in the main character breaking his leg. Because of this event, Ryan, the main character,is no longer aloud to see his best friend Sara. Since Sara was with Ryan when he broke his leg his parents are blaming Sara saying she is a bad influence. I have had this happen where my parents jump to conclusions without knowing the whole story.
jmsmith7 I can totally relate. But sometime the best people to talk to are the opposites of you.
qdjames That sounds like a really good book I'd like to know more about it.
I am currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and am on page 115. In the book Katniss has had to move because her house got destroyed. I have also had to move, but it wasn’t because my house was messed up or anything. It took a while for her to get used to the change of a new area. This was the same for me because I moved to Florida and it was took a while to get used a new school.
mocking jay sound like a good book im going to look into reading it @amountain4
The book I am currently on is called "House of Dark Shadows" by Robert Liparulo, page 145. This book can be relatable to anyone who knows what it’s like to move to a new house. I got that feeling also when I first moved to a new house. I thought the house was creepy, or someone was "supposedly" watching me. I can’t really describe the feeling, but I'm sure it was just because the house was new to me. We all get those feelings, and that's how I can relate to my book "House of Dark Shadows".
@amountain4
Wow, I have heard of the series "The Hunger Games", and it seems to be a good series. Good job explaining it!
@qdjames
You forgot your period number at the end of your username, and you had a lot of grammar mistakes. You should pay attention more to your typing, but your relation to the book was good.
@SHenderson4,
That book seams good! Great job! :)
@jmsmith4,
I can relate to that too. Good job!!
I am currently reading Lost in the River of Grass by Ginny Rorby and I’m on page 58. In the story one of the main characters wants to go on an airboat ride. This is something I’ve wanted to do in the past but have never been able to do. When she finally gets to go on an airboat ride she goes with a guy named Andy in the Everglades. In the Everglades the area she was at was like a forest, I can also relate to the because my grandparents live out in the woods so I can get a good picture of what the place looked like.
qdjames: u forgot to capitalize and put space between your periods.
jmsmith7: sounds interesting.
I am reading "Tunnels" by Gordon Williams, I have recently finished the book. One of the many connections I have found between myself and the book that I can relate to is that Will Burrows is an adventurous and curious boy, I myself am adventurous and curious to learn new things. But I also relish it when I find something. Will is constantly searching the mines he and his father made and when he finds a new relic and unearths it he is always so excited. I am also excited when I discover a new book or any item that I can learn from. Also Will Burrows likes the Victorian time period, and that’s when all the items he found where made, which I also like because for some reason I love basically anything from that period because everything is unique.
@SHenderson4: "House of Dark Shadows sounds like it would be an amazing book, I think I would love to read it
@amountain4: I've read Mockingjay and it was a pretty good book, and I also liked reading your post :3
I am currently reading "The Odd Squad" by Michael Fry and i am on page 43. This book has related to me from a time in the past. i can connect with this book because I can relate to how they are feeling. when I was in kindergarten me and two friends did not fit in. At the beginning me and my friends got bullied then we stuck together and became popular.
@Mpickles6 nice blog
@kyesbik6 great job!
I finished reading The Paladin Prophecy by Mark Frost. What I can relate with the character is that we are both not very popular at the public school we went to. The main character of the book actually was taught to stay under the radar at school. The main character lived by a book of rules his dad wrote for him. Another relation is that we both have great parents that care about us. Until the book character's parents were taken over by a mind control creature living in their neck.
@MPickles6 Nice job on your blog, you had enough sentences and you provided a lot of detail.
@kyesbik6 Good job on your blog, you explained how you related and how you had a good idea what the setting was like.
The book that I was reading was The Maze Runner by James Dashner. In this book, the protagonist whose name was Thomas, had woke up in a random place that he didn’t even know where he was! I have a special connection to this situation because when I was in the hospital, I had surgery and after the surgery, I had no idea where the heck I was!!
I am reading DogSmart by Myrna Milani I'm currently finished with the book.In this book they tell you how to form a bond with your dog. Or how to figure out what kind of dog is right for you. I can relate to this book because I remember when I was little trying to get a puppy for myself and never knowing what to say to get one. Then one day I read a book much similar to this one telling you in great detail on how to get a pet. :)
jmsmith great comment that sounds like a really interesting book!
emasio6 great comment your book sounds like something i would read for sure!
The book I am currently reading is "Almost Home" by Joan Bauer, I am currently on page 65. In this story a girl named Sugars grandfather dies. Sugar and her mother, Reba, have a hard time dealing with that, they then have some financial problems. I can relate to Sugar because when I was younger my Grandfather died and I was really upset about it. My mom was even worse it was really hard for our family to get through it. We also had some financial problems but those had been started before so I know how sugar is feeling
qdjames good job
jmsmith7 nice job!!!
The book I am currently reading is force out. I am on page 60. The connection I have with this book is that it is about baseball. I like to play baseball and that is why I am reading this book. I also reading this my farvorite author is Tim Green.
amountain4 good job. Very discrited.
MPickles6 good job. Keep up the good work. Ok
The book I am reading is “The Postcard”, I am currently on page 85. I can relate to this book from when I was younger. The boy in my book, his grandma died and he has to go away from Boston to her funeral. He really hates it in Florida. I had to go to Alabama, I didn’t really like it there either. But, neither one of us had a choice about whether we could go or not.
@hjmaestre3 Good job. That book sounds really cool!
@amountain4 Good job.
Im reading Ghost Hawk by Susan Cooper. I can relate to this book because I'm part native American. This is stuff I would have been doing if I lived back then. It's about a boy who has to survive as a right of passage. He either comes back a man or not at all.
jmiller3 sounds like a good book
acchrishtian4 nice book
I am reading Football Genius by Tim Green, and I am on page 59. One connection that I have with this book is that I like football. This book is about football and this boy who's mom works for the Atlanta Falcons. His dad used to play football for Auburn. I really like this book because it is about football, it has conflict, and his dad left when he was little so he's trying to find out where he went.
MPickles6 nice blog!
skunklersulaica3 Sounds like a good book!
I am currently reading The Giver and I am on page 20. One connection that I have with my book is when you have to go to the ceremony to hear what job you get. This relates as a connection to me because I sometimes don’t have choices on what I want or do in my life. Like in the book Jonas is worried on what he will be picked for at the ceremony. I feel just like Jonas sometime when I can’t pick, like at school I can’t say I don’t want to do the HW I have to do it, just like Jonas has to do his job no matter how hard or boring it is.
Nice work sbrown4 you put the recommended amount of sentences and used details.
Great job tjohnson4 nice details you put for the question.
Wonderful job @ rcortes!
Awesome blog Tjohnson4!!!!
i am currently reading a book called Mind games by Kiersten white. i am on page 119. I have a personal connection with the book in way because i can relate to it.In the book Annabelle who goes by Anne is the oldest and her little sister went away for a while, and her name is Sophia but she goes by Fia. when Sophia was gone Anne didn't feel as comfortable with people like she use to. even though shes was older than Sophia, Anne still looks to Sophia for guidance.
when i went away for a long time i was over 30,00 miles away from my sister, shes 18 years old now yet she still isn't the same if i am not there with her. We are very close and we know each other secrets. we get along very well just like Anne and Sophia, and we both trust each other and look and expect guidance from each other.
I'm reading Pendragon: The Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale, I'm on page 63. In the story the boy was just a regular kid in school, like me. Also, he likes to get what's bothering him/in his head written down. This reminds me of me too. Because when something is bothering me I like to write it down as well.
@qdjames I don't think that you did a very good job at you response, all you gave were 2 sentences with no description what-so-ever, bu none-the-less at least you did you blog.
@dkeaten4 Good job
I am reading Silhouetted by the blue by Coretta Scott king and John Steptoe. I am currently on page 49. In this story the main character is having trouble keeping up with classes while rehearsing for the lead part in the wiz. She also has to take care of her little brother since her father has the blue. I don't have anything in common to relate with the story.
jmsmith7 great job on your blog, maybe I should read the book sometime.
gpanipinto4 great job on your blog, maybe I should read the book sometime.
Blog #3) I am currently reading “I, Emma Freke” by Elizabeth Atkinson I’m on page 93. It turns out that I don’t have anything in common with the main character (Emma). For instance she only lives with one parent, I live with both. She only has one friend and I have multiple. She never knew her dad I know mine.
In my book, notes from a small island, i have few connections between my life and the book. but if i were to find one i suppose it would be our shared comedic view points on many subjects. we both have a tendancy to go about things in a very humorous and sarcastic manner, making points as long as possible by trailing of on long tangents and loosely tying them into the main subject, while making as many jokes as possible.
hjmaestre3
sounds like a good read ill have to check it out some time. is it in the library?
qdjames
wow im not sure if its just me but i almost feel lucky that my family doesn't rely on me, sounds like a lot of work -_-
I am reading the last apprentice Revenge of the witch, made by Joseph Delaney and I have just finished the book. Although this book is fictional and pretty far fetched there are some relatable things that happen in the novel. One thing is that in the book Thomas must take notes on various things and after a while his hands starts to ache, this frequently happens to me because I find myself writing very fast and I often have to spot and give myself a break. In one part of the book Thomas is harassed to give some other kids some apples and cakes from the spooks bag of food, he says no and walks away. When he tells the spook the story though the spook says he could have given them some and this is relatable because it is really embarrassing and frustrating when you say or do something and later wish someone would have told you before hand the correct thing.
@gmsmith7" I've also had a friend like this maybe it would be a good read for me.
@shenderson4 I definitely know what your talking about. New houses are creepy
I am reading Scat by Carl Hiaasen, and I'm on page 231. A connection I have to one of the characters in this book would be to Nick Waters. Nick's dad is in the military and he had his right arm blown off by a rocket while he was deployed in Iraq. When Nick's dad gets hit by the rocket he has his best buddy with him, but he dies. My dad used to be in the military and he was deployed to do some work in Iraq. He also had a buddy who was in the field, and he was hurt very badly and died. The only difference is my dad did not lose his arm, and didn't do any field work, just technical stuff.
@MPickles6, great job! Sounds like a good book!
@jritter2 That happens to me a lot, too! Although I still love writing.
I'm still reading "So Far from Home" by Berry Denenberg. Even though I'm not big on reading, I still love the book. I'm on page 80 now. Mary Driscoll is from Ireland and comes by herself over seas to come to America. I guess what we have in common in life is, we've gone to a different country without our parents, and we are around the same age.
MPickles6 ~ That's great that you finished your book.
SHenderson4 ~ I've gotten that feeling before, and I think I want to read your book.
Right now i am changing my book at this present moment
Jlowe5 Good blog very good detail.
Jritter2 Thats a very good book i read that book before
The book that i am currently reading is called The Raft and as of this moment i'm on page 70. In this story the main characters name is Robie and she is almost kidnapped so she tries to take the first flight back home and the plane crashes. After the plane crashes she is stuck with the pilots nephew max and he's pretty much dead now from a major bump caused b the disruption of the crash. I can relate to this because, i have been stuck outside of shore at a beach for 20 minutes before. The characters in my book are stranded for longer than 20 minutes, but it is the same idea which is being stranded in water. Gladly i got back to shore before it had got dark. It was by far the worst beach experiences that I have ever had.
nice example @jlowe5
great job @amountian4
I am currently reading ‘How My Journals Became a Bestseller’ by Julia Devillers and I am in page 122. So far in this book, the main character, Jamie likes to write things and enjoys writing like me. I think we both like to be with friends and hang out. Also we have the same family members and same conflicts. However she became a celebrity because of her famous book, but I didn’t. Another difference is that her best friend moves and she tries to keep in touch with her. I have to read the last part.
@sbrown4 Great job. I like your book.
@jlowe5 Good blog and details.
I just finished my book. My book was the 'hunted' by Kirsten Cast and P.C. Cast. It is the 5th book in the 'House of Night novel' series. In this book I can relate to the main character, Zoey Redbird because she is very unique and often misunderstood. All of the humans think she dangerous yet beautiful because she is a young vampyre and all of the other vampyres think she is beautiful and very important because their goddess, Nyx, has chosen her to become the next high priestess of the Vampyres.However, she is just like all of the other vampyres. She is nice, happy, and really smart. I can relate to her because though I am not very important like Zoey, I am too, often misunderstood. People often think I am shy and depressed, but if they would just give me a chance they would know I am really nice and silly.
Also, Zoey has to face many problems and people in the book.One of her problems is that this dark angel who had been trapped in the earth for thousands of years had been released and he was trying to take over. He bullied Zoey and all of the other vampyres, but Zoey knew she had to stop him from taking over the House of Night.These problems scare her very much, but she is always very brave and faces her problems. I can sort of relate to this. I have been facing several problems in my life for a couple of weeks now and these problems really bother me. However, I have been trying to be brave as well. Even though Zoey's problems and life are much more unrealistic and interesting, I feel as if I am like her. From the very first book, I could connect with Zoey Redbird and I do believe that may be why I love this book series so much.
@Jkim42; That's interesting. I like to write,too!
@amountain4; Oh that's cool! I hear that the "Hunger Game" series is really good.
I'm reading 'Charlie and the chocolate factory'by Roald Dahl and I'm currently on page 80. In this story the main character,charlie found some money and he bought two candy bars and he got the golden ticket.I can relate to this because when I was 10 years old,I found some money and I bought two candies but I didn't get a golden ticket I got two more candies because in one bag there has to be one candy but there was one more in each bag. It's so happy to me, like charlie got a golden ticket.And charlie likes to share like me! I like to share too.When I share chocolate of food with people it's more delicious and happy.
@jkim4 Your book looks fun. It's cool.
@snturner3 Your blog is great good job!
I'm reading The Absolute True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie and I'm currently on page 35. In this story the main character is the Indian boy who got in problem for throwing a book into his teacher's face. I can relate to because one time I just in trouble with my teacher because she heard my phone ringing and vibrating in class. Then he was suspended for a week. I got lunch break detention.
@TJohnson4:sounds like a really cool book
@amountain4: Mocking jay sounds awesome and I think I'm going to start reading it.
In my book the Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson. In my book she is trying to find her long-lost friends. She is doing that because she doesn't remember her life before her car crash. For me the last couple months I have been trying to find some of my old friends and hang out with them. I am currently on page 126 in my book.
qdjames: Your book sounds interesting.
acchristian: Great response!
I'm reading The Lions of Little Rock an I'm currently on page 39. The main character in this is very shy and quiet. I can relate to this because I'm quiet most of the time. The girl's sister tries to help her by telling her to say at least five words a day. The main character still has trouble saying just one.
I am reading Abandon by Elana Johnson and I am on page 436. I am almost done with it. My book is nonfiction and almost nothing from it can happen in real life so it’s hard to find connections with my life. But, the characters in my book are standing up for what they believe in. My family does that too.
kjones3 good job!
emasio6 ,great book it sounds interesting.
kyesbik6: I’ve read that book and I loved it! I hope you like it too. Good job!
hjmaestre3: Your book sounds interesting!
I am reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and I'm on page 208. In this book, the main character is part of a "troupe" that is pretty much a traveling circus, and even though they are not all blood related to him, they are practically family. They travel from town to town, only staying in one place for a couple of days, so the troupe is very close because they never know anyone else. But when he goes out to gather some supplies from the woods, he comes back to see the camp in flames and everyone in the troupe murdered, including his parents. He goes into a state of shock after this, and runs away into the woods, and tries to forget everything that has to do with his family. I can relate to this because if something like that happened to me, I would probably react in around the same way, without the running away into the woods. He also has a few keepsakes from his family, which are his father's lute, and a book he got from his best friend/ teacher. He treats these like they are precious gems and protects them with his life, and I would do the same thing if I were in his situation.
SHenderson4, Nice post! Your book seems cool.
jmsmith7, Great connection between your book and your life.
I`m reading DUKE by Kirby Larson and I`m currently on page 166. in this story the main character made a choice to lend his beloved dog to the oversea war. i don't really relate to this because he went back and forth with different opinions about if the decision he made was right
@kyesbick6 sounds like a good book
@kyesbick6 sounds like a good book
kbaxter6 sounds like you pay attention to your books good job
I'm reading " Legend." by Marie Lu and I'm on page 128. I can relate to one of the main characters, Day because even though most of his family doesn't know but he supports his family in like the "shadows." I'm a little similar because even though I'm the youngest in the house, I do most of the carrying, fixing another word I do everything my mom and sis can't handle. Because my mom has a bad leg and my sister is like"tiny" and she can't carry heavy things. For example she can't even carry her suit case out to her car and I had to do it for her, or cleaning the fan like getting the dust off I'm the tallest so I had to sit on the ladder on clean it.
I am reading a book called The Nightmarys by Dan Poblocki and I am currently on page 36. In the book the main characters are currently in a never-ending nightmare, or so it feels like it. I can relate to this because when I have a nightmare it feels like it never ends. like this one dream I have about the Titanic. you can not wake me up till the dream is finished, it is really scary.
amoskalenko5 Your response was great it has alot of details. Keep it up!
rcortes5 I like your response, Good job!
Very good jmsmith4 that is very descriptive, and well written good job.
I am reading a book called, "The Land of the Silver Apples" I am currently on page 48. A connection between my life and the book is that the main character and I both like to help people. For example, on page 11 Jack help a slave clean his house.
I am reading SilverFin by Charlie Higson and I am currently on page 97. In the story James is in a race and notices someone cheating by taking short cuts in the race. James then goes and tells his friend that is in the race. His friends then tells him some words of encouragement and James goes on. This relates to me because I see people cheat a lot.
@qdjames good job
Great response jmsmith7
shenderson4, great job on you blog I have had that same feeling when i moved. I can totally relate to the book/you.
Sounds freaky iharris5
@acchristian sounds like a good book!
The book I am currently reading is Cinder by Marissa Meyer and I am on page 172. Cinder doesn't really feel like she fits in because she is a cyborg. I relate to Cinder because in certain places I don't fit in either. It can be hard if you don't know who you are or want to become. Cinder doesn't know her past or her future all she knows is that she is a cyborg.
I am reading "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner and i am currently on page 42 of my book. in my book a group of boys are trying to weave their way through whats called the maze. Thomas the main character is going to change their lives because unlike the others hes curious. he wants to know why they are in the maze, what are the grievers, and what happened to their memory. i can relate to this because I am very curious i want to know everything about what is going on.
thats actually really scary @iharris5
@amountain4 good blog, i think you should add a little more detail.
I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and I am currently on page 49. I can relate to the main character I the book because in the story, Katniss has some tough decisions to make. Her decisions may lead to her losing her friends, family, and starting a rebellion against the Capital. My decisions wouldn’t lead to anything that serious, but I have had to make some decisions that cost me to lose friends. So I can somehow see what Katniss is going through.
jmsmith7
Wow sounds DEEP!! I'd love to read it.
I just finished my book, cabin 102 the author is sherry garland, dusty is really curious about what is in the next door cabin "cabin 102" his trying to see what is in that cabin, he saw a girl but he dosen't know if is a ghost or a real girl. i can relate to the main character because i always want to know stuff, i am very curious about things.
@bmcbride5 sounds like a great book!
emasio6
I like to scheme too. Sounds GREAT!!
@iharris5 wow scary!
I'm reading the running dream by Wendelin Van Draanen and i am currently on page 43. In this story the main character was very dedicated to a sport. i can relate because we were both very passionate for a sport but then somewhat lost interest. The main character also was always hanging out with her friends, which i love to do. Her parents are also very worried about what happens about her much like my dad does so i can relate to how annoying it can be.
@emasio6 sounds like a good book.
@kyesbik6 good explaining how y'all relate.
Honestly there is not much that relates to my life in Blood and bones by Don Hoesel but I did see that some people have really bad tempers. I can relate to this in so many different things. Some people in my life are the same way.people are very irritating sometimes but in the book they kill those people. In reality you are not supposed to.I am on page 47.
The book THE UNDERDOGS by MIKE LUPICA expresses me,because I like to play football and it's fun.And the book THE UNDERDOGS is about football.I'm on page 23.And so far it's disscussing the kid and his life and how he likes football.And that kinda relates to me because I like football too.
Nice book alandi4
Nice book accook
I'm reading the book Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard and I'm on page 61. In the story the main characters are Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Hanna. I can relate to what they're having because they all seem to have problems with whatever they are doing. Whatever they do backfires on them getting themselves in more and more trouble. One time, I tried to do something really crazy and it totally backfired on me, so I ended up getting in trouble.
BMcbride5, I love that book! I love how there's so much suspense and drama. Plus, the movie Catching Fire is amazing.
THines6, I've always wanted to read that book and watch the movie. Sounds like an amazing book!
Im reading the dead boys by Royce Buckingham and im on page 95. in the story the main character just moved to Texas. I can relate to this because I moved from Massachusetts to Florida. In the story the main character didn't want to be there. and didn't know what to do there were no friends or any thing that he knew.
I am currently reading the 39 clues, i am on page 37. Umm honestly the book i a reading doesn't really have a connection to my life. Just that they ride the bus home and to school. So don't really know what to write.... Also emasio6 thats really cool, and then jmsmith7 thats really funny same here.
nice alandi4
nice book emasio6
I am currently reading "Dreamsleeves" by Coleen Murtagh Paratore and I am on page 37. A connection I found between me and the book is that I have lots in common with the main character, Aislinn. Aislinn, or in the book known as 'A', has a few struggles in her life. Or things she tries to overcome. I do to. She also , like me, is in charge of a lot of things at her home that she has to handle herself. Lastly, she sets goals for herself. I do aswell. They're all things that make a big connection. I feel I can relate to A a lot and I understand her. Thats what makes the book a lot more interesting to me.
@alandi4 , Great response. Seems like you can really relate to the book.
@rraisch6 , I've read that book. It's much better than the show in my opinion. Hope you enjoy reading it. (:
I'm reading ender's shadow by Orson Scott Card and i'm currently on page 64. A connection between the book and my life is that i can relate to the main character, bean because he is smart and I am smart aswell. I'm also shy like bean when it comes to meeting new people but then i'll just get over it. One other connection I have with the book is people underestimate me to get things done just like bean but I still get it done. The last connection I have with the book is that If such a thing were to break out like in ender's game I could probbally survive just as good as everyone else.
I'm reading Smiles to Go by Jeremy Spinelli and I'm currently on page 116.In my story the main character has an annoying little sister who bugs him all the time and i used to bug my big brother just like the way she bugs him. He's also a kid around my age who goes to middle school. He has friends similar to mine and hangs out with them every week just like me. Will also has crushes just like me and he is just a very realistic person, someone i could imagine knowing.
@acchristian I have read that book and that was not a good explanation you should put more detail in your comment before going to class.
@jmsmith7 Im also reading a book by Jerry Spinelli i'd love to read that book next it sounds great!
@TJohnson4 Sounds like a cool book I'd love to read it, mostly because I'm a huge Auburn fan :)
@oyakel4 even though it was hard for you to make a connection you still found dateail great effort and pretty good explanation of the of the whole book.
I'm reading The Raft by S.A. Bodeen and I'm on page 131. In my book the main character is left alone at an apartment by herself for a few weeks after begging her aunt. After the first night she wanted her aunt back with her because a person was grabbing on to her outside. He wouldn't let go until someone stepped in. I could relate to that because once I got to stay home alone something happened and I didn't want to stay home alone for a while.
Nice job Frank, you gave a lot of detail.
SHenderson4 nice job that book sounds interesting.
The book I am reading is “The Lions of Little Rock” by: Kristin Levine. I’m currently on page 232 of 291. In the book two girls (Marlee and Liz) become best friends, but Liz leaves school without any word of where she went. Marlee soon finds out that she wasn’t white, she was black going to an all-white school lying to everyone during segregated times. Marlee doesn’t care what race Liz is she just wants her friend back. Liz is spotted coming out of church one day and Marlee hears about the church, so Marlee goes to the church trying to find her friend.She doesn’t care what she is, she needs her friend. This is like my life because I need a friend every day to help me be happy. By surrounding yourself with people that make you happy you’re going to have a better life. Marlee is trying to do this, but because things are segregated she can’t have those friends and opportunities to be happy.
asizer3 like your connection.
jsmith4 good job
I am currently still reading One for the Murphy’s by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. I am on page 117. The main character Carley Connors is currently living with a new family that wants to adopt her. The family has a mom and dad and three brothers. The only connections that we have are that we are both the same age, we both have siblings, and we both have had to get used to a new life. I have experienced this when I moved from Puerto Rico to Florida with my family. It was a complete change, I had to learn a new language and make new friends.
@kyesbik6 good job on your post, keep reading that book because I remember reading it and it was a really good book.
@BHastings3 i read that book last year and it was really good. It is one of my favorite books.
I'm am reading Lockwood and Co and It's by Johnathan stroud and I'm currently on page 130. and I can relate to this book Because in the story where Lucy and Anthony go and investigation Ms.hope house and shes not home and they notice werid things going on in the house and hear noises where Mrs.hope husband fell and broke his neck it was like when me and my friends went to my friend grandma house where She says it was creepy and we went to see what was making all these strange noises and her grandma wasn't home and her grandpa fell down the stairs and broke his neck like in the book and to this day they hear noises in the house But they say they know it's him.
@Hwerther3 you have a good book and good details
@Rraisch6 you seems like a great book and it seems very interesting good details
I am currently reading "Scat" by Carl Hiaasen and I'm on page 52. So far in this book I have a connection Libby and her dog Sam. Libby and her parents had to chase Sam around the house at 2am. Eventually they got tired of the "game" Sam was playing. My dog Tank likes to chew his toys, at the same time my little brother likes to steal the toys from him. Its funny watching my brother run down the hallway with the toys and watching Tank chase him down to get them back.
@RRaisch6 great connection!
@SHenderson4 sounds like a really good book..
Well, i'm actually done with my book I, Emma Freke and the book pages were up to 233. My connection with this book is, well basically she discovers who she really is, because she decides with a push from her best friend, that she wants to know why she is different. After she sounds out she embraces it, and I feel that even though I know who I am and where I belong, I know I'm different. In the inside I'm different and this book teaches you how to embrace your uniqueness. She realizes that she might be similar to some relative, but she knows her heart is what makes her different. All she is trying to do is fit in and I tried doing that until just like her I realized, me being different is what sets me apart from everyone else. Another way this story connected to me was that she knew how to cook and clean and do many things, just like me. However it wasn't because of the same situation, it's just that I learned from my parents.
DWhite3 I love how you connected your animals with your book, it must be more interesting now!
NPorrata5 Great details and LOVED how you connected in a different level with your book.
I am reading Mike Lupica's Comeback kids, and i am currently on page 180 because i have finished the book. In the book Scott started out kinda bad at football and eventually got better. i can relate to this because back when i was in 5th grade, i was horrible at football. Now i am much better at it.
@kyesbik6 That's a really good book. I have read it before
@jmiller3 It sounds like a really good book!
I am currently reading 39 Clues beyond The Grave. This book is very exciting and adventurous. I am currently on page 17. In this story Amy and Dan are they main characters. I relate to this book cause Amy and Dan has been betrayed by one of their closest friends, I’ve been betrayed by one of my closest friends.
nice blog @jmartin3
good connection @emasio6
Eggs is a funny name for a book but you did a great job wording this
You made me went to read the book now awesome piece of writing
I am currently on page 67 of cover up by John Feinstein. I can connect to my book because I was too once replaced. I used to be on the fort Clarke news for the junior varsity baseball team. I was the captain since day one until I was replaced by one of my colleges. My teammate and I were the dream team on the news.When i heard the what was happening not only my heart but my teammates also had been mutilated in to pieces. This relates with my book because the main character Stevie was replaced by a boy band celeb.
I'm reading Varjak Paw by SF Said and I am currently on page 112.
In this story a young ambitious cat is set on a journey to save his family. And in some ways i can relate. for one, Varkjak's Grandpa is killed, i can relate because my auntie passed away. When he is kicked out of of his home, it reminds me of when my brother did the same thing.
jmsmith7... Seems pretty interesting, nice.
amountain4... I suddenly like this book,good job.
I'm reading All the lovely bad ones by Mary Downing Hahn I'm currently on page 64. A connection I have discovered between my book and my life is the pranks Travis and his sister Corey play on the guests at the Fox Hill Inn. The play pranks making it seem that ghosts are at the inn to trick the guests into thinking that there's actually ghost. Until they actually do start to wake the ghosts up it connects with my life because I like to play pranks myself sometimes or just joke around. But then sometimes those things starts to actually happen or sometimes when I talk about certain things it starts to actually happen. Also when I play around and play pranks it ends up coming back to me.
@Zgraham24 Sounds like a good book, great job, and wow that was weird
@jlowe5 awe, I wanna read that book now because I sorta experienced the same, and good job on the blog
The book that I am reading is The Clique summer collection: Kristen, the author of my book is Lisi Harrison and I am currently on page 65. This book can relate to my life because I know people in my life that try to act popular and professional. Another reason how I know this book relates is because they have a group of girls who love to hang around!By me saying that I mean because in my life I have a group of girls I like to hang around and in the book that's what they do.
Good job on your blog keep it up!
Great job, seems like a nice book your reading.
I am currently reading A Sudden Light and am on page 389. In this story the main character feels like he is constantly being watched. I can relate to that because I constantly hear someone saying my name. The main character always feels like there are big secrets in his family. I can relate to that because they also act very strange.
I am reading The Alchemyst the Secrets of The IMMORTAL Nicholas Flamel, the author is Michael Scott, and I am on page 29. I have found no real connection with my book with me, but I could say there just learning about what the basic start out is in the story. How this is a connection with my life is I am just learning all the basic stuff about middle school. I can’t find any connection I think because my life right now is not all really out there at the time. Also I am still at the beginning of the book kind of so that’s probably, also why.
good job with all the detail you put @hjmaestre3 you had not much spice, but it was a good amount.
@gpanipinto4 It seemed like you just rushed through this, you need to add more to make it sizzle,but at least you got yours in.
the book that i am currently reading is the bully. the author is Paul Langan.this story is about a teenager who moved from philedelphia and is being bullied. ive never been bullied before but i can make a bond because ive moved from my home town and had to make all new friends. it was devistating at first but now i have gotten over it.
great job @gpanipinto.
great job @hjmaestre keep up the good work.
The book i am currently reading is "I Even Funnier" by James Patterson. I am currently on page 297. This book show how Jamie Grimm (main character) tells jokes. I can relate to this because i try to be funny in class (although i should pay attention its fun). If you don't really like my sense of humor it would help to at least smile because it always makes people feel good when they make you laugh.
I’m reading Assassin’s Creed: Renaissance by Oliver Bowden and I am currently on page 55. In this story the main characters Ezio has his father and brother leaving him. When his father went to jail Ezio tried to break him out but his father said “No, leave.” This relates to my life because my father left me too. And I gave him a second chance he said, “No, let me be.”
Emasio6 good job on your post
Jmsmith4 good job on your post
The book that I am reading Is important to my life , everyone's life. The Holocaust happened many years ago but it is important to learn about it. This book and my life are not similar but I can relate to what the Jews were going through the pain , starvation and mistreatment. The book name is "Number the stars" . The Author is Lois Lowry, page 57
RRaisch6 That book sounds interesting are you enjoying the book ? That sounds sort of like a life lesson
@thines6 nice blog you did good . you provided a lot of detail
I am reading Heat by Mike Lupica and I am on page 110. Micheal, the main character, is very similar to me in many ways. Micheal isn't only a fabulous pitcher but he also is the best catcher and center fielder on the team. On my team I am one of the best pitchers on my team, and I'm also our teams' best catcher and center fielder. Micheal throws hard for his age usually mid to high seventies, like I throw mid to low eighties.
jmsmith7: Sounds like a great book!
thines6: I heard that was a great book and I'm going to see the movie soon
I am reading May Bird by Jodi Lynn Anderson and the Ever After and I finished the book! But in it, May had always carried this gem rock. This reminds me that when I had carried a small notebook filled with pictures(no, I can't tell what KIND of pictures because they're secret),but it wasn't as special as a gem rock. But it was awesome and I had carried it around everywhere. I would never live a day without it.
To jritter2:
Nice!I like it!
To MPickles6:
You just found my next book victim! Keep up the good work!
I am currently reading Holes by Louis Sachar and I’m on page 156. The connection I made was that camp green lake is like horizon. Horizon is a place were bad kids go and later they turn into good kids. Camp green lake is a place were bad kids dig holes and they turn into good kids. I made this connection because they are both juvenile detention centers for bad kids.
good job on your post @rabram2 and dwhite3
I'm currently reading the book City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare. I'm on page 713 and the genre is fantasy fiction. The connection between the book and my life is simply because in the book series they have a breed of super soldiers or Shadowhuters, they were created by angels when demons where ravaging around the world. It is connected to the games I play, such as halo, destiny, and titanfall. Halo has super soldiers known as spartans to battle an alien race, Destiny has super soldiers known as Gurdians to protect the last safe city on Earth and push back an ancient enemy, and titanfall has their own unique soldiers called pilots with supreme maneuverability and wall scaling. I am only about 30 pages away from the end I forgot the book is just too far away for me to reach at this time.
jmsmith4: That sounds like an interesting book and a good connection.
kyesbick6: that connection with the forest and the airboat sound interesting.
I am currently reading a book titled change-up. It is about mysteries and myths at world series,national championships,playoffs and other stuff like that.I can relate to this book because me and the main charecter enjoy watching and playing sports.
The connection that I have made with the book and my life is the fact that Hakeem the main character in my story had moved to Chicago away from his friends. So like him Ialso have moved from my friends just last year.If that has happened to you should know how it feels. Oh, and just letting you know I'm reading the book blood is thicker.like I was saying it's hard to move away from your friends and so that's my connection.
I'm currently reading the last shot by John Feinstein. I'm on pages 50. I really don't feel that I have a connection with this book yet. this book has mystery in it, so there's nothing to relate to.
amountain4 nice job!
shenderson4 your book seems good.
Book: Muckers
Page: 87
This book connects to my life because i like football and this book is all about football. But in some ways it cant connect because as i was reading this book i noticed that for strength in practice they would to push a school bus. I cant do that. But if i try im pretty sure i would get hurt. But this book is good.
qdjames: nice job
emasio6: sounds like a good book.
I am reading “the trouble with half a moon” by Danette Vigilante I’m on page 81. The connection between my book and I is that she has a very protective family and so do I. my mom is exactly like hers because she doesn’t let Dellie, the main character do anything because she’s scared something will happen to Dellie. I also understand how she feels and I get her because I feel the same way. We both have lost a brother so I understand where she is coming from in the story. jsongayab4 great work! crukstalis6 very true.
I am currently reading Storm Breaker by Anthony Horowtz. I currently on page 32. I feel a good connection between my book and I.One reason I feel a strong connection to my noel is its a realistic fiction which in my opinion is the best genre of novels. I love the feeling of suspense I get from picking my noel up and diving into the story line.
@mmoss6
good sentence sounds good!!!
@rabram2
sounds like a really good book.
I am reading How To Turn The Good Girl Bad by Angel Likkel and I am about 50% done with it. Something that I have in common with the book and my life is that they are in high school and I am going into high school next year. In the book it makes high school seem very overwhelming so I'm wondering if that is true in real life. Anyway I am really enjoying this book and can't wait to finish it. And to start high school!
@jglover2 amazing job!!! I'm sure you got a great job
@tjohnson4 nice job!! Sounds great!
I'm reading the raft by S.A Bodeen and I'm on page 131. A connection that the main character (robie) and I have is that we visit our aunts a lot. It's a place where we can chill, have fun, and even get away with some stuff. we can visit our aunts and relax. So we wouldn't go crazy from being home all the time.
Kbaxter6 your book sound interesting.
Iharris5 great job on your post keep it up!
