Literature circles discussion

Our groups' literature circles was great. In my group, we have Avni and Ian. Avni is a preson who discusses a part a lot and says all of her thoughts about the passages. Ian is good at participating and answering the questions. (Avni is really good!) First we discussed about pur passages. Avni started as the first and started to explain a particular page of the story. Avni shared her thoughts and kept on talking, talking and talking! She really took some time to explain and went on to her second passage. Her passages were brilliant because she included a lot of her thoughts and explained everything in the page. Then, it was Ians' turn. His passages were a little bit short but he did a good job in explaining his passage. It only took a short time because Ian had a short passage. Then it was my turn. My passages were a bit long so I had to shorten what I said. I made it simple so that it didn't took a long time and finished it.
Our questions were fairly good enough. Avni had one stong question and I had one too. Ians' questions were also good. I think the questions were all great. We discussed the questions and gave in good answers. I think Avni had the longest and good answer. Avni answered partly all the questions and the answers were all great. Then we went on to the volabulary and talked about something else. This was how our literature circles went.

The White mountains #2

I think that Beanpole will help them go to The white mountains safely, because he had been living on the strange land for a long time. Like he said in the book, he said to Will and Henry that he could help them get to the South. Beanpole didn't say that in a shy way. He said it confidently like he knew all the places of the land. Since he knows about the places, I think he might know places that are safe enough to travel and take shortcuts in the way. I first thought that he was unusual because he just popped up in the story like how Will met Ozymandias. It was really random for me because normally, the main characters solve the hard problems by themselves but this time a new character had saved Will and Henry but I thought that he was a normal boy and could be trusted. Since he is smart and could speak fluent english, he would be really helpful by asking questions and asking about the Tripods and all. I think Beanpole is a persoon giving Will and Henry information.

The other part I think that Beanpole will help them by is getting more food and some herbs for wounds. I think that in this journey, Will and Henry are going to get hurt a lot of times because Will and sprang his ankle which didn't allow him to walk properly. Since Beanpole knows a lot, I think he is going to help them with those kind of problems. Like we discussed in class, information was a powerful thing. With information, people could solve mostly anything. I think that this is how Beanpole is going to help Will and Henry.

The white mountains connection

Will is a boy that is foolish, selfish, careless, whiny, and adventurous. He is a boy that has all of these personalities. There are some of his personalities that are similar with me. Lets see what those personalities are.

One of the similar personalities with me is being careless. I am always careless about things. Like in tests for example. In tests, I make these silly, unacceptable mistakes that I always regret about. For example I can see 8+7 as 8x7. This is how I make the careless mistakes. When I'm careless, I also hit myself on something. If I see a wall, I accidently just bump into it. It normally happens at my home. I bang myself on to edges of tables and chairs which really hurts a lot when you bang on to your heels. In these ways, I am always careless. Seldom, I accidently take things outside and mess it up like how Will messed up his dad's watch when he took it outside.

When I think of myself, I think that there are some times when I am whiny about things. A long time ago, I was whiny about when my mom bought my brother things and she didn't buy things to me. I think that I sometimes whine to my friends about like to stop drinking my drink or things like begging for my friend to come along with me to the band lockers or somewhere. I think I do that. These are my connections with Will.

These were the personalities that I have similar to Will. I think that Will is an interesting boy because he had some weird personalities. These were all my connections with Will.
