readers journal#11

Dear ___________(your name)
The book I read for a memoir is called Chicken Soup for the kids soul 2. I really liked this book.I thought i would like to read it because last year Mrs.Klink always read us one and I enjoyed listening to them.The author's (more than one author.) of my book are called Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Patty Hansen,Irene Dunlap.I think two of the authors are married because they have the same last name or they might be family members.
The characters of my book are:There are a lot of characters in my book so i can't list all of them.But I'll tell you the ones from my favorite section in my book.
                                          The Race
Characters:


Todd: He is a racer in the boat races.He built a milk carton boat.      ( Boat made of milk cartons.) He really want's to win.


Brett:He is also a racer in the boat competition.He is Todd's partner.They both want to win.1st place.


Little Boy: He is very frustrated that he can not move his boat.He is helped by the 2 boys.
The setting:
The setting is in a huge lake where the boys race.The weather conditions sounds kind of cool and not breezy.I think that there is no breeze because the boy can not move his boat.But whit a breeze i would at least push him far.
Plot:
 The plot of this part in my book is that people should always be nice.This is true because the two boys Todd and Brett want to win the race.So the race starts and they are far ahead winning.Close to the finish line Todd Said let's turn back and help the little boy.Brett was against that but Todd still kept saying to turn and go help the little boy so he can also reach the finish line.They went back and got the boy's boat and paddled to the finish line even though they lost they were very happy they helped someone win also.They were very glad and sad that they lost.
The conflict:
the conflict is that they can't get to an agreement to turn back and help the kid.
The resolution:They remember how they lost badly and so they went back to help.
My personal opinions of this part is very good.I think that because it's very nice that they gave up first place to go help someone.
My favorite part is the part where the boy's go back and help the little boy.I think it is very nice to do this.
My least favorite part is the part where Brett said "No".It is very mean to do that.






                                      Sincerely Your friend,
                                              Julio Lopez




P.S  Read this book. It is extremely good.

  1. Dear Julio,
    I really liked your RJ. It was really well-written and the plot was really interesting. Do you agree with Todd's action of helping the boy and losing the race or do you agree with Brett's choice of not helping the kid? Why was this story your favorite? Do you recommend this book to anyone? Next time, I suggest that you should write a little bit more details. Other than that, I really liked your RJ.

    Sincerely,

  2. Dear Julio,
    I really enjoyed reading your blog post! It was very detailed and well written! I really liked how you described each character in such and informative way. You wrote a lot about who they are and what did they did!I am really looking forward to reading chicken soup stories, they are very interesting!
    Some questions I have are:
    If you were the two boys, would you turn back and help the boy, or just continue and win the race? With which character can you relate with the most and why? Would you recommend this story and to who? A suggestion that I have for you is
    for least favorite part, write why you didn't enjoy that part. Other than that, great job!
    Sincerely,
    Dore Dadon

  3. Dear Julio,

    I like how you included that Mrs.Klink read the book to us last year. I also read chicken soup. Now for some questions, what would you if you were the little boy and realized your boat wont move? Why did you chose this story other than the reason you listed? Do you think winning is important? You should write a little more in your favorite and least favorite parts.

    From your friend,
    Lucky
