Significance

I chose to read this book because my friend Olivia read it and she loved it. She told me I should read it so I did. I also read this book because I love to read realistic fiction.

Perspective and  Connection

The author, Denise Vega, also had humiliations during 7th grade, and still wears her chuck taylors like she's been doing for four years.

Evidence

A fact is a true statement like,"The world is round" An opinion is what someone thinks about something, but is not true. Example,"Palm trees are pretty"

Supposition

If Mark and Rosie hadn't been there helping Erin through the "hard times" I think 7th grade would have been a lot harder for her.

Ida B. By Katherine Hannigan

Significance

I chose to read this book because it looked good and I love to readrealistic fiction. This book realates to other people because many daughters have mothers who get cancer.

Perspective

Catherine Hannigan Doesn't seem like she is against or for anything in this book.The problem is that Ida B. feels very worried for her mother and decides not to like or be nice to anyone.

Evidence

A fact is a true statement, like,"My name is Lizzie." An opinion is someone's view of something and is NOT true. Example,"I like to play in the ocean."

Connection

I know of a woman who had cancer that was so bad she was in the hospital for three years. The cancer got so bad, she couldn't keep living. In the story, Ida B.'s mother gets the same type o cancer, but she is able to get chemotherapy and overcome her sickness.

Supposition

If Ida B.'s mother had never gotten cancer, the whole story would have been different and unless something else terrible happened, there wouldn't be a point to the story.

Shadows on the Sea By: Joan Hiatt Harlow

Significance and Perspective

I chose to read this book because it looked interesting and I love to read historical fiction.This book relates to people who were living during the 1940's. in the northern east coast because many ships were either bombed or torpedoed and many lives were taken.

Evidence

A fact is a statement that is true, and an opinion is your view of things or what you think about something.
Fact:There ate 50 stars on the American Flag.
Opinion:Spinich is gross.

Connection

Knowing that just this little piece of time that "happened" in history, it gives me the feel of how scared people were in the war and how people felt.

Supposition

If the author had made the Caribou -the ship that Jill's mother was on- had gotten torpedoed, it would have made the book a lot sadder and some of the events that happened probably would not have happened.
