Dear _____________ _________________(your first name,last).

I really liked the book. I did because it was very interesting and also detailed. I also understood it more after I read the chapters again. I would recommend the book to anyone because it is very detailed and informative.

I would really like to read a book like this again but I hope it could be better.

The characters are:

Jonas-He is a twelve.

lily-She is a 8

Dad-He is their dad.

Mom-She is their mom.

Gabe-He is a baby and he is going to be released.

The Giver-He is an elderly.

The setting is in a place that is not mentioned.

My plot is that a boy named Jonas was going to be a 12.He is very nervous because he does not want to get a job he does not want.He also does not understand one of his dreams but then he did. 

I do not have a least favorite part because I liked the book.

My favorite part is the entire book.It is because i loved it.

I would rate this book 10 out of 10.

Dear _________________(any person who is reading this).The book I just read is called The giver.The author is called Lois Lowry I think this author does not really explain so good in the beginning .I do think this because he just starts like if we were supposed to know what the story is about. and like if we were supposed to know who the characters are.So I think that the author should explain more in the beginning.The characters are :

Jonas:lily's older brother.

Lily:Jonas little sister.

Father:Their dad
 
Mother: Their mom
The setting:
The setting of the story is in a little "village".The author does not say the setting.
The plot is that a boy called Jonas is going to be 12 but he feels very nervous because he is going to have to get assigned a job.He is going to be assigned one by an elderly that has been watching him to see what job he is most interested in.
My favorite part is the part where the boy has to say why he is late to class.
My least favorite part is the part where the boy gets nervous for no reason.

Title: Animal shelter's behavior experts face life and death decision for animals
Author: John Owens
Source: The Miami Herald
The topic of the article is that animals have to face life and death.
The main idea of the article is: Stated in the title                                                                                                                                                                                                                The author’s purpose for writing this article is to explain that animals have to choose weather life or death.
The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because he is explaining details about both sides.
The pattern of organization of the article is in chronological order.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is to explain how the animals go through their tests.
The text features included in the article are: Real world examples.This helps by giving explanations to the reader.
This article is about (a summary in your own words) : The article is about how animals go through their process of being able to be adopted or not.So some animals with bad behavior and are bad with other animals can not be able to be adopted.The animals that are well behaved and they are good with other animals are able to be adopted.So I feel very sad for the ones who can't be adopted it is like you are being separated from others just because you are different.
The significance (importance) of this article is to explain to the reader that animals have the choice of life and death.
What I learned from this article is that being an animal is not very fun , and that animals could be put to death.
What I liked about this article is that the author explained this article in order.
What I did not like about it is that the author did not explain to much so I can understand enough.
Who should read this article and why it explains to you about an animals life and also it shows how they are put to death.
This article reminds me of (text-to-self) I had never put to something like this.
(text-to-text) I have never read any passage like this.
(text-to-world) Ther are animals put to this in the world.
New vocabulary I learned

 Dear Thomas (friend from soccer.) , The book I abandoned is called The Lightning Thief.The author is Rick Riordan.I chose to read this book because I thought it was intresting because of the movie and also because of the graphic novel.But unfortunately it stinks.Here are the characters that I read about:

Mr. Brunner :A Latin teacher.

Grover : Protecter.

Percy Jackson :Main character . The gods think he stole the lightning bolt.

Annabeth :She is a demi- god just like Percy.

The setting of my book is in a lot of places.

The plot of my book is that a regular boy got blamed by the gods that he was a lightning thief and that if he did not return it there will be a war against the gods he went in his first quest to give back the lightning bolt.So he did go and I suppose he gave it back without a war.

My least favorite part is the part where Percy gets blamed for something he did not do.

I do not have a favorite part.In this book.

Well hope you enjoyed.I abandoned because I did not understand most of it and it is boring.

Sincerely

              Your 

                      friend
