Hey Guys! So yesterday I went to get my schedule and I am really excited about my classes this year! I have a lot of classes with my friends so it should be really fun! Even know school is starting soon, summer isn't quite over and our summer reading project is still in the process! Currently, I am about half way through my third and final book of the summer. If you can remember from my last post I am reading Dead End In Norvelt by Jack Gantos.
At first I really liked this book and found things that the main character and I had in common, but now I am really starting to dislike Dead End In Norvelt. The whole book is about this kid getting in trouble! First he got in trouble for playing with his dads riffle and now he's in trouble for plowing down his mom's cornfield. The weird thing about it though is that his dad told him to plow down the corn. Obviously his mom and his dad didn't have a joint agreement! The only interesting thing that has happened is that Jack(the main character) has to help an elderly next door neighbor write obituaries for the town newspaper and this next door neighbor is quite cooky. For example, she covers her hands in hot wax that burns her flesh! Now to me that is really crazy!
Even know this book hasn't been too exciting, I have learned some interesting vocabulary words! Heres a list just to give you an idea of some words that I have learned.
1.kilter
2.sly
3.slats
4.obit
5.sublime
and
6.veneration
I would like to play a little game with these words. I will blog again in about a week or so and in that blog I will include the definitions to these words. Until then, you can try to figure out what these words mean and check your definitions in my blog next week. Thanks for reading my blog and have a great rest of the summer!
Happy Reading
