1. I really like/dislike this idea because...

The book that I'm reading is "Ida B".One of the main idea in this book is imagination.I know this is a

main idea because in the book it talks about how Ida B ,the main character talks to trees.

For instance,when Ida B ran outside and speak to one of the tree ,the tree said that there are

bad things going her way. So she got scared and ran to a big old honest tree to ask him

if the bad tree was telling the true. When the old honest tree told her that the other bad tree was telling her the truth she became more frighten. I like this main idea because i think the author reflect to how young people could have an imaginary friend and also that young people are creative.

2. This character reminds me of somebody I know because...

Ida B reminds me of someone i know because Ida B talk to trees and one of my cousins talks to an imaginary friend named "Jazmin". Ida B and Rachel,are similar because their imagination

are creative . For example,when Ida B send a piece of paper in a bottle to Canada asking

how the people over there live ? and when Rachel use to pertend that she is putting

make up on Jazmin . Also when she was pertending that she was her mother.

3. This character is like (name of character) in (title of book) because...

This character is like Melissa in How to be a Bride and A Flower Girl,Too,

because this book is about how Melissa go's crazy because she can not find a flower

girl. Then she comes up with an crazy idea, to be a bride and a flower girl in the

same time .This book is similar to Ida B because they both have a big imagination.

4. I like/dislike this writing because....

I like this writing because i never have read such a wonderful writing . When i first pick

up the book what caught my attention was the discretion of the book. When i read the

first page i was surprise how wonderful the book talks about a little girl that talks to tree

and how she communicated with people in Canada about her life ,and what she does everyday .

5.This book makes me think about......

This book makes me think about myself because when i very little i had a very creative

imagination . Forexample, one day when it was summer i use to dress up and pertend

that i was a princess with a big castle full of chocolate chip waffles ,and there was one

room full with million of dulls.

H.W #31

The song that reminds me of a special person is "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion.
the reason i pick this song because it reminds me of my mom ,forexample,when Celine Dion
say "Thanks for all the time you stood by me ,for all the truth that you made me see "
and when Celine Dion said "when i cant speake your my vocie . The thing that she is
similar to my life and how my mom loves me because my mom stood by me
all the times ,even when my dad left me,my mom,and brother.And my mom is the
one who was there when i had my up and down with people.When o was down she
pick me up and said" honey dont worry im always goin to be there for you.My
mom is the most special person in my life because she loves me a lot and even thro
i kick and scarem when i want something she always tell me that she love me and that
if i could understand that she cant buy it today.She is the most coolest and nicest mother
in the world .She could be sometime mean but i will ALWAYS LOVE HER.
