Night By Elie Wiesel

Night by Elie Wiesel

Page 12/120


When I first heard about this story the only thing I was hearing is that it is really good. Now starting to read it, it is turning out to be good. I know I am not that far into the book but from what I have read it gives a person insight on what was going on at that time in Elie. This book is interesting because it’s based on a real life. It tells what Elie Wiesel was like when he had to stay at a concentration camp. This time in his life was during the Holocaust, one of the brutal times in history. In this book I have noticed that from the very beginning it starts off with his life and what’s going on. It doesn't seem to have a slow like beginning where u has to wait to the middle of the book before something interesting happens. Although I am not very far in this book, I do look forward to reading the rest. Hopefully the reading actually comes along easy.

Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers

Pages (1-67)

At first this book was boring me. There was no action and the story was so far lame. Then it got to the point where the people when into Vietnam, thats where I now could follow the book. The characters evolved big time as they made friends and enemies. Now I like war in general and when I get into a book it really takes me in as if I am a part of it.

So far I have noticed that the characters are bonding, changing, and getting more war like. But the fact that one of the characters dies out of action had me sad. I look forward to the rest of this book. Well back to reading.

Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl (pg.25/268)

The Diary of a Young Girl, is a classic diary written by Anne Frank, a thirteen-year-old, during World War two. So far i think i this is a good book and it's easy to get into it beacuse it is a true story and everything that happens in the book is what Anne Frank was really going through each day she wrote. Althought I have already learned about her in history, when reading the book you get vivid details that help you imagine and understand more of what she was really going through, and how brave and couragous Anne Frank really was.

War Fiction - Why?

Our group picked War Fiction for the simple reason that it involves the general sense of war, military, and fiction. It's good to learn about history from a fiction or real point of view. It is a very interesting genre in that their are many different types of stories in this genre. War Fiction is something many of us can get into, war is something that all men see until death.

We believe people read this genre because they like war or the general world based action of battles. People also read this genre because they want a hero that follows the battle all the way to the end like in Forest Gump.

Robert - 5/5 Responses

Robert, well, you finished the five responses.  However, they lack substance.  It seems you are just finding different ways of summing up the book (and the last one...?).  Choose a question off of that list of questions.  It will help you be more analytical/responsive.

Amy - 5/5 Responses

Amy, I'm glad you enjoyed Cut.  Some students have really enjoyed McCormick's Sold.  Maybe you can look into it.  Your last couple of responses are a bit short.   Make sure you are developing all of your thoughts.  

Derek 4/5 Responses

Derek, your responses are well developed, and I really enjoyed the second last one.  Let's get that work done.

Dude, not another Halo book!  Argh.  I'm glad you have a reading niche, but for the next project I'm going to have to bump that birdy out of the next (the bird being you in this metaphor (the nest is Halo)).  Anyhoo, very well developed responses.  Nice job.
