reading response to I'll give you the sun week 4

-

  I haven't finished I'll Give You the Sun but it is very complicated. It's about these twins named Jude and Noah. Noah is a boy, and Jude is a girl. Noah is very good at sketching/drawing, but is kind of a loner and Jude is more in the "cool kids" crowd. But they are the same in a way because they both are so creative and have very imaginative minds. There was this great art school that their mom wanted them to go to but their dad was stubborn and didn't want them to be outcasts because of the school they went to was mainly focused on the arts. But when they mom died a few weeks later, their dad felt guilty and let them apply for the school.
     I haven't really gotten into the main plot yet. But I think it's about how Jude and Noah navigate high school and they deal with their mom's death. It will probably also will be about how they deals with their grandmother's death and all she told them.

    This book sounds great. I've been wanting to read it and I tried to start it this summer but forgot about it. Your post, which has good sentence fluency, has reminded me about how fun this book is!

      After seeing Evan M's blog, I realized that we all have a platform to speak our minds and express our feelings. We can also use it to talk about topics that mean something to us. I am using mine to talk about waffles and pancakes. Yes, I know that sounds silly, right? But this is a serious debate between the two breakfast items.     First off, I have more experience with pancakes so I will try not to be biased. Pancakes are just flat cakes; it's in the name, PAN-CAKES. They are delicious. However, pancakes aren't very syrup effective, and they also can get quite soggy and cold quickly.      Waffles, on the other hand, are way more syrup effective as they have little pockets specialized for the syrup. And that is necessary for enjoyment. But if you aren't careful, you could end up with a too crunchy, dry, or burnt waffle. But in the end, it isn't up to me to say which is better as they both have great qualities. I have presented my case, and now the reader

research post q3 w3

        My topic is about Mongolian Society under the reign of Genghis Khan in the 13th century.  My research question is: How did Genghis Khan make such a vast empire in such a short period of time and what was that empire like? My topic is interesting because Genghis Khan built one of the only nomadic empires to last. One reason I wanted to research this topic was that I felt like no one really knew anything about the Mongols. People know that they were nomadic and that it.      My subcategories are the Mongol army, what religion they practice, the food they ate, the Mongolian government, and their conquests in the 13th century. The empire matters because they helped start the Slik Road. They opened the entire empire for trade.

The two topics that I'm keeping up with the book are Parents and tradition. Parents. Kambili's parents are very different from each other. Her dad is more outspoken and her mom stays in the background. The dad is well liked in the community and the community thought he should leave her because she couldn't give him the right amount of kids. Her dad has a bad but well-hidden temper and her mom is very tight-lipped. Papa is so stubborn and stuck in his ways that he exiles his own father because he doesn't believe the same way Papa does. tradition tradition is very important to their family. Everything has to be done a certain way and Papa makes them pray for their sins. The kids always do what their parents tell them to because its the "right" way to do things. It seems like its traditional to have a bundle of kids and when Mama couldn't deliver that,  the unmma wanted Papa to leave her.
