independent reading book - Raising In The Sun

         Wilbert is the main character in my independent book Rising In The Sun. He has changed a whole lot since the protagonist came along. The protagonist is definitely his mother 10,000 dollar settlement for his fathers wrongful death. As soon as the check came in the mail Wilbert's whole mood his mind thought everything has changed. Wilbert wants to use that money to buy a liquor store instead of buying his family a home. Wilbert and his family live in the slums of a 2 bedroom apartment and share a bathroom with everyone Ianthe building. I think Wilbert cant take that money and change his family life with it instead of being selfish and using the money to his expense. Everybody in that house hold has put their dreams aside to try to make everyone comfortable except Wilbert. for example Ruth, Ruth is Wilbert's wife she put her dreams aside of being a cook to make sure her son can grow up a lot more comforting instead of the way she did. i think Wilbert doesn't understand how risky it is to be that selfish and buying a liquor store with a guy he doesn't even know that well. Wilbert definitely has alot of growing up to do.

just did my blog post at 12:49 atleast its done !:)

Independent reading book : Raisin in the sun

       The book raisin in the sun is based on the play that was made in the early 60s.  This book is about a African American family growing up in poverty in the early 1960's. Theirs a house of five people in a two bedroom  appartment. The man of the house Wilbert and his wife Ruth and their son Travis. Along with them is Wilberts sister Benetha and their mother Lena.
      This family has a huge life insurance check coming in of 10,000 dollars from their fathers death. in this time perod that amoun of money is like one million dollars to them. Wilbert has dreams to start a liquor store with the money, but his mother Lena is a Christian woman and dosent think that starting a liquor store is a good thing to do in their situation. So Lena took it into her own hands and went out and brought the whole family a four bedroom house in Clyone park. This house had a backyard a front yard, 2 whole bathrooms and a huge kitchen. This house is in a neighborhood full of white people. Everyone is excited about moving into the new home except Walter, I think Walter isnt excited at all becuase he is used to getting his way about anthing he wants and since he isnt getting his liquor store he is going to have a fit.
       In conclusion i think Wilbert needs to become more grateful for the things he already has even though its not alot because his wife and his family all have dreams but they have to put some of their dreams aside so everyone can be comfortable.

Bridge to Terabithia

       While reading Bridge To Terabithia I've realized Jesse and Leslie's relationship wasn't just a friendship. It was like a guidance a learning experience for both of them. Lesli has taught Jesse in this book. She taught him how to rule Tabatha. She taught him how to have a imagination. She taught him how to e very wise and, smart.
        Leslie and Jesse relationship began when Jesse stood up for Leslie when the guys were picking on her and being sexiest towards her because she was a girl. Also she was the fastest runner in the fifth grade. After Jesse stood up for Leslie their relationship has changed because they've both learned how to trust each other.

         During the ending of the book death is a big characteristic in the book. My reason for saying this because of Leslie's death on her way to terabithia with Jesse. Leslie died when her and Jesse where on their way to terabithia, Leslie let go of the rope and fell into a deep creek. Jesse was feasted about Leslie's death. He felt Leslie was a humongous part of his life.

        Instead of being depressed over Leslie's death Jesse he took the good things out of Leslie's death and taught everything she taught him and taught it to May-bell ( Jesse sister). The reason why Jesse taught everything that Leslie taught him to May-Bell because during every adventure to terabithia Maybelle would want to tag along. So after Leslie death i think Jesse felt that may belle can now be the queen of terabithia since Lesli isn't their anymore to be.
         Of course majority of my annotations were about Leslie and Jesse relationship because it was a very healthy friendship. I relate to Jesse and Leslie relationship because i have a friendship like that with my best friend Ava.we both learn from each other and change each other lives also.
