Please answer both questions in your blog.
1. Upon finishing your book, share any lessons or themes that the book has taught you or left you with. When you look back on this book 5 or 10 years from now, what will you remember about it? Where does this book rank in your list of all time favorites?
2. What lessons has this class as a whole taught you? With freedom comes responsibility. What did you learn in English 4B.

The lesson this book has taught me is even if your going through a hard time don't give up push through it and the outcome might be better than what you expected. This book is probably my all time favorite book because it was the only book i actually enjoyed reading and it was a great book. This class taught me a lot of different things even though i'm not a big fan of English i'm glad i pushed through it and learned the stuff i did. I've learned a lot of different thing but mainly how to type papers and i'm glad i learned that because i might need it later in life.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty true, with rough times we sometimes come out on the other side more strong willed and strong willed then we were before. Bad things just make us tougher for whatever comes our way in the future.
DeleteI agree this class taught me a lot about writing papers, and even though sometimes it was difficult we pushed through.
DeleteI totally agree with you in saying that this book is one of the only books I actually enjoyed reading, and that this book that you read was on your favorite list.
DeleteI agree that when you're going through a rough time, you have to push through. Those things may get easier, or they will make you tougher for things in the future. There's a lot going on right now as seniors that we might think is very hard, but we push through them to prepare us for things in our future jobs and life in general.
Deletesounds like you really enjoyed the book and like you took a valuable lesion from your book.
DeleteAs seniors i think we are all trying to rush and get out of here but when we look back this might be the best 4 years of our life
DeleteI agree with you about not liking English but at the end of the day you never know when you are going to need to write a paper or a resume for a job you really want.
DeleteI can tell you enjoyed this good which is good and I agree/relate with you on the lesson because my book had basically the same or similar lesson.
DeleteYour book's lesson is very similar to my book's lesson.
Deletethat was interesting learning how much this book has enjoyed you and it seems like a good one to read.
DeleteI agree with not liking English I never have liked it but we need to know the things that it taught us

ReplyDelete1. The lesson my book taught me is that no matter what happens in life and no matter how bland and boring one's life becomes. Never, ever let it control your actions and who you are. Otherwise you become a complete and total bad mamma-jamma and it is also a clear indicator that some form of karma does exist because this guy got what was coming to him in the worst form. Also this is probably my 3rd top 10 book just because it was very philisophical.
ReplyDelete2. In this class it was pretty easy, the only hard part was following with all of the rules and regulations that B put on, even though NONE OF THEM MADE SENSE, it was still fun because I got to argue with B and test out my abilities of winning arguments
I agree with what you said. Just because your life might be very boring at certain points, you should not let that boredom change the way you are because maybe if your fun personality could change the boring lifestyle around.
DeleteI also agree with what you said, just because the world is changing around us, doesn't necessarily mean we have to change with it!
DeleteI can relate this to my book. Everyone else in my main character's life seems brainwashed by the government and television, but he thinks for himself and that is where he got into trouble. He chose to act differently and go against society.
DeleteI am going to have to disagree with you on winning arguments against Mrs. B because she pretty much owns that English class so I don't think you can win against her when you argue with her when you don't like something or want to change something.
DeleteI have to agree with your statement, even though bad stuff can and will happen in your life, it doesn't give you an excuse to become an awful human being. We all have to learn to deal with pain in our own way, but that doesn't give us the right to force others to feel the same pain.
DeleteI agree with what you said also because if something bad happens in your life that doesnt mean you have to turn into a bad person as well.
DeleteMy book "The Last Lecture" really did leave me with some of the most important life lessons that I will remember for the rest of my life. The lessons are that every moment of every day counts, savor it cherish every time you wake up in the morning and the sun is shining. Don't take anything for granted. When you see your mom hug her, when you see a baby laugh don't be afraid to laugh with it. Also don't be afraid to chase your dreams. Nothing is impossible in today's day and age. There is no dream to big. English 4B taught me that getting your work done on time or early is really worth it in the long run. It has also taught me that reading can be more fun if I make connections from the book to my life.
ReplyDeleteI agree! If you actually take the time and read your book you might actually really like it and not be able to put it down!
DeleteSounds like an absolutely life changing book.
DeleteI feel the same way about my book, it was a great book and i wasnt able to put it down!
DeleteMy book talks about dreamers a lot to and I feel the same way that no dream is to big and always follow your dream and leave no regrets behind following your dream. I really think I would like to read the last lecture sometime.
Deletesounds like a great book with a lot of life lessons to teach people. Having a connection with your book is definitively important and will keep you interested.
DeleteSounds like you really enjoyed your book. I agree getting things done early is worth it.
ReplyDeleteThis class has also taught me how to get things done on time and that its better to get it done early or when you have work time because then you don't have to worry about it later on.
DeleteI think those are great things to live by. Making everyday count is a very important one, if you don't live life to the fullest, you're really going to regret it when you're older and can't do those things anymore.
DeleteMy book, Girl, Stolen has a theme to never give up because Cheyenne is blind and she can find ways to escape kidnappers no matter how hard things got. This book also taught me that other people have it more difficult than me. When I look back on this book I will remember that this was one of the first books that I actually enjoyed reading and felt like I understood what I read. I would put this on my favorites list because there is not many other books I remember reading that I liked. This class has definitely made me become a better reader because I got a little bit of a chance to choose the books I read instead of just being handed a book and told to read it. I loved this class amount of freedom because it taught me to get my stuff done instead of pushing it off, which can be very easy to do.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that this class has taught me to become way more responsible in getting my books done on time rather than putting it off until the last minute!
DeleteI would have to agree with the amount of freedom we had. It was nice that we got to pick our last book instead of being handed it.
DeleteMy book has a similar theme which is not to give up in tough situations.
DeleteThere's nothing more impressive than the human spirit, it sounds inspiring
DeleteMy book has similar themes to never give up.
DeleteMy book Night, has a very similar theme that deals with not giving up in hard situations. Elie's situation is very hard for a young boy to overcome, but somehow he pushes through every struggle he has to deal with and survives.
DeleteI also liked the freedom we got and getting to chose are last book i think we should have got to pick all three
DeleteMy book taught me the importance of books in society. If there were no books, everyone could be made equal and no one would be able to learn about the past besides what the government wants them to believe. I will remember the courage that Guy had to have to fight society like that and go to live as an outcast. This book isn't my top favorite, but it is definitely up there in books that i enjoyed reading.
ReplyDeleteThis class has taught me more about time management. There is so much free time, it is easy to slack off but i powered through and got all my work done early so i didn't have to worry about it at the last minute.
My book also has to do with society. Women are suppose to marry a man that will provide for a family and bring home the bacon, things like that. Instead, Allie chooses Noah, not the richest an, but the one she loves truly.
DeleteDearest Ben,
DeleteI also enjoyed the novel and I agree that It could be possible to have everyone be equal and believe whatever someone in power wants them to believe without the knowledge that books give us. I also think that the novel is good and I really enjoyed reading it.
if you put forward the time and effort you can get stuff done early or on time that yough will feel at eas that your done early and you can relax
Deletei also felt the same when reading this book, books are an important element in society. we need to be educated, or we become enslaved
DeleteMy book taught me that no matter how big of a conflict you are in or how bad you think you have it that there is probably someone that has it worse and would much rather be going through what you are going through. In a few years from now looking back on this book I think I would remember how strong the main character was and that he never gave up on life. This book is in a tie for being my all time favorite with Ishmael Baeh because they both are going through something that I could never imagine going through so I cant choose which one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOur books have the same themes. Someone will always have it worse than you. Its important to remember that when your going through a tough time.
DeleteMy book also shows that someone always has it worse, and to not give up no matter what.
Deletei agree i the main character was strong through out the whole book
DeleteSo glad more people are learning this lesson! It could be the person you sit next to everyday, that you have no idea what's happening in their lives. It could be anyone honestly. Some people complain about the smallest things, if only you lived through others lives. It's a daily challenge to keep going and try not to give up. Remember that next time you think you're issues so small, think of others for a change. I hope you enjoyed your book and glad you were able to learn something your senior year.
Deleteyour book sounds like a good one aseptically after hearing about the lessons that have left a long impression
Delete1. My book taught me that when the Mr./Mrs. Right comes around, they will love you for you. They aren't going to care what clothes you wore, how you had your makeup, or anything like that when you both are 80 years old. They will love you for you as a human being and all of your qualities. We all care too much about what's on the outside and not enough on the inside (where it really matters). If I had to rank this book out of my top 10 favorites, it would probably be a 9. Only because it was very hard to keep up with the author, while she throws a new character at you, ever chapter. The storyline was really good, and very funny/sort of relatable!
ReplyDelete2. The lesson that English 4B has taught me is to try not to rush things. We all are in such a hurry to get our homework done, and graduate. We all just need to take a step back and just appreciate our time left here and finish off high school strong, and on a positive note. Take pride in our school work, and in ourselves and how much we have grown as students/people.
I agree with you so many people pick a boyfriend/ girlfriend based on looks and money when in reality that is not going to matter in 50 years when your both old. You need to pick a person that you can relate to and have fun with and love. That is what matters
DeleteThis is also true, to take life day by day and not take anything for granted as we finish up our last days in this school. Bobcat nation forever.
DeleteI like what you said about mr/mrs right. Finding someone that loves you for you is all that should matter. Also i like what you said about not rushing things. High school goes by fast and in a blink of an eye its over!
Deletethis is a great lesson but dosnt sound like a book that i would be interested in
DeleteA lesson I learned was don't be too quick to judge. There were many times in the book that Pen would think the killer was someone because they had a bad past, or had something against the person dead. She also though a couple of times that it was her boyfriend. She was one to just take one thought and keep it going until proven wrong. I will remember the love story and intense ending. I absolutely love the relationship between Cass and Pen, it kind of reminds me of my boyfriend and me. The ending was also something I will remember, it was so intense and it was so detailed that you could almost see it happening in your head. I would have to list this in my top 10 favorites. Probably around 6th if I had to be specific. I really enjoyed the "on the edge" theme and the mixture of romance and serial killer.
ReplyDeleteBe organized. You need to know when to set aside time to be able to have your book done in time along with everything involved. That way everything is finished in a timely manner, and done correctly.
How was it a good relationships if Pen though it was her boyfriend that was the killer? It doesn't sound like there was trust in there relationship and that one of the most important qualities in a relationship to have. But overall it sounds like a good book.
DeleteThis sounds like a great book. Full of different emotions. I'm glad you can make connections to your own life. When I read I like making connections to my own life as well it makes it so much easier to understand.
Delete1) This book has taught me to go with what life throws are you, don't just give up because it didn't go how you imagined it would go. Even though Toby, Bailey, Lily, Ellie, Bear, Buddy didn't want to be born he still dealt with it as his best ability and always found his purpose in that life. Another theme in this book is that love can do so many wonderful things. The dog had so much love for each of his owners, and he helped each one of them to overcome what they were going through with the love that the dog gave.
ReplyDelete2) This class taught me how to write different kinds of papers and how to handle each one of them. This class also taught me that no matter how different books are they can be related somehow. When I heard that we would be put in groups with different kinds of books I was really confused but it went really well.
I would have to agree with you on not giving up fight through it. I would also have to agree with you that it doesnt matter on the book, you can still connect them together even though they're different subjects.
DeleteThis kind of reminds me of my book a little bit because so much was thrown at my main character August and he took it like a champ.
DeleteI also agree that you should not give up and to fight through the bad stuff that is happening. That happens a lot in my book especially with the main character and her mom and the main character took it like a pro.
DeleteThat kind of reminds me of my book because the character in my book did not give up even though she was looked at as the "weakling"
DeleteI can relate because my character also didn't give up. She tried to make the days better in some way. She went outside her comfort zone to make friends so she didn't want to give up and drop out.
DeleteMy book has a very important lesson in he content. The lesson is love who you love and don't be ashamed of who you love. This means don't just settle for just anyone even if you think you will be financially stable with someone you don't actually love. I will look back onto this book 10 years from now and hopefully have found my husband, and look at the qualities that my husband posses and see if I actually love him for who he is and if he loves me for who I am as well. This would probably be top on my list just because I had total control on what book I could read and I already saw the movie. I have learned from my class that just because we are all different and have different talents and personality's, doesn't mean we can't come together as a class, as a grade one last time before we graduate. Mrs. B gave us a lot of freedom which is nice but I had to make sure I got all my stuff done myself because she really gives us a feel on how college will be like. I will always remember this class in the best and worst ways :)
ReplyDeletesounds like you took a very good lesson from this book. also from what you wrote the book sounds very true.
DeleteThis lesson is very true and should always be remembered because it's about you and you being happy. I can agree with Garrett and say that from what you said I'd say you enjoyed your book.
DeleteI think this book can be really relateable to our time. We are all not the same, I hear a lot people compare themselves to someone else, and say I wish I was like so and so, but they forget that they are different from everyone else. We all have our own talents and gifts and I think that it is important we realize that and embrace them.
DeleteYour lesson reminded me of the song Most People Are Good and it sounds like your book really connects with that song. I agree with you that someone should choose who they are with because they love them and not because of money or any other reasons.
DeleteYour book's lessons are also pretty similar with the lessons that are in my book as well. I also agree with the freedom in this class can be amazing, but you have to get the work done because this is preparing us for college.
DeleteI think in 2018 this book can be super relatable, no matter who you love or hangout with you should be comfortable with whatever you do and whoever you are with. As for the class i think the freedom to chose the last book really made it fun. The lesson of responsibility also had a great effect on people to get there stuff together.
DeleteThe lesion i learned from this book is you can always learn from your elders. This is taught when they go and talk to the old Indian. He tells them about the gold and where to find it but he also teaches them about the "after worlds" how the ancestresses were and what they knew about the world.
ReplyDeleteThis class has taught me that you have to hold your self accountable for staying on top of your reading. It also taught me that people may read the same book as you but they can take a different point of view away from it.
My book also teaches the lesson of learning from your elders. Guy talks and listens to an old man because he knows the old man is wise and down-to-earth. The old man helps him express himself.
Deletemy book does the same he doesn't really know what to do so he always talks to his dad about what to do
Deleteyour book has some words to wisdom to it, good lesson to know
Deletethis is a very cool and unique lesson to learn in a book and i like it!
DeleteThe big field by Mike Lupica taught me what its like to really love a sport. Hutch never gives up even after he gets into a fight with Darryl and almost gets kicked off the team. Even when Darryl has the shortstop position and Hutch is just a wing man at second. Even when his dad doesn't support him and just drinks all the time and never asks for Hutches opinion on things. Hutch truly with all his heart loves the game of baseball and i love that him and his dad can make amends and have a real relationship in the end. Baseball tore them apart, but in the end it brought them back together.
ReplyDeleteI learned that English isn't the hardest of classes but if you don't stay on top of things you can really sink, just like if you don't stay one step ahead in the real world you can lose everything. By being able to do whatever you want in this class it taught me responsibility, i knew i could get through this class but it was tempting just to sit on my phone all class period. I believe this class will definitely help me in the long run!
Even though I really don't enjoy English class or reading books this class taught me that
ReplyDeleteI can not only read books but enjoy reading books when I thought I could never read a full book or find a book that I liked and kept me interested. I also learned that you have a lot of responsibilities in this class because you are pretty much on your own to do what ever you want and it is very temping to procrastinate and sit on your phone and you will realize that it is not worth it when you are struggling because you are behind.
i would also agree i think i was on the same boat as you and we had to learn that the hard way
DeleteI agree i never liked reading books but this class has taught me to like reading
Deletei also never really enjoy reading books i thought i wouldn't enjoy this coming into it but i really enjoyed reading the three books.
DeleteIn my book Among the Imposters the lesson I have taken away is that whatever you believe in you shouldn't give up on no matter what is in your way, keep trying. I don't really think I will remember the name of this book later in life, but what I will remember is probably the message/lesson. In general I don't know for sure where this book ranks, but what I have taken away from this class is to get your work done and on time to be efficient. What English 4B has taught me was to write a paper and continue reading no matter what it may be.
ReplyDeleteI agree life is tough and it is hard and for someone to say it is easy they are lying. I agree that you should never give up keep pushing and trying because you will regret stopping if you do. I think this book sounds really interesting.
DeleteIn my book night i think the main theme of the book is to never give up if you keep your mind to something you can succeed and get what you want. when I look back this book will definitely will be in my top 5 for books just because it is an important time in history. I learned from this class that when your by yourself you need to try your hardest to succeed other wise you will keep digging a deeper whole for yourself
ReplyDeleteIn my book the theme could be never give up as well. Hannah never let anything stop her from finding out who/what is in Edith house. This sounds like a great book. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Delete1) In my book Looking for Alaska, the lesson I learned is that no matter how hard your life is, someone always has it worse. Everyone has hidden struggles. The thing I will remember 5 years from now is that when you're going through a hard time, hiding it from your friends will only make it worse. This book would be in my top 10 favorite books. It gave me so many different emotions and I was left in shook.
ReplyDelete2) This class has taught me to use my time wisely and not mess around (too much). I learned its easier to get things done early and have extra time than to rush the day before.
That is definitely a lesson others should learn. Many people don't know about others struggles and open their mouths anyways. It's so easy to have secrets no one knows about, so you learn to watch what you say. That's a great lesson to learn!
DeleteI can connect our books because Rachel thinks Darcy's life is so great, but Darcy is super insecure. Rachel's hidden struggle is that she looks like her life is put together, but she feels like she's not really living her life.
Delete1) In my book Return With Honor there are many lessons i learned. The first is that in a survival situation like Scott was in you would do anything for water. In this book Scott Wrung his wet socks out into a bag and drank it. This shows how desperate you get for water. When i look back on this book i will remember how well that Scott was prepared to survive and that is why he did survive.
ReplyDelete2) This class taught me that even though i don't like reading i found books I enjoyed. I also learned that when you keep a ready log it helps you discuss in your group.
I completely agree that if you keep a reading log it helps in discussions. When I couldn't remember what happened I would look back through log and find some information to add to the discussion. I also learned how to use class time wisely to get my papers or blogs done on time or earlier. Getting your assignments done early makes life easier so your not scrambling at the last minute to turn your assignments in on time.
DeleteI agree that a reading log helps you remember stuff that otherwise you might have forgotten. And being stuck in a situation like that would be the worst.
Delete1) there were several lessons in my book and one that sticks out to me is when Olivia doesn't want August to go to her play because she doesn't want people to know her as the girl with the deformed brother and she learned that family comes first and that she is very proud that August is her little brother. Another lesson that sticks out to me is that August may have not wanted to go to school, but he learned throughout the way it wasn't going to be easy and at the end he was happy that his mom suggested him to go to school. 2) I feel like in 5-10 years I won't remember much about the book, but I might still be able to make connections with the book. If I had to rate the book 1-10 I would give it a 8 because I don't really have favorites.
ReplyDeleteMy book has the same lesson! In the end of mine, my main character finally sees the importance of family
DeleteI have seen the movie to the book and the movie has the same lessons and connections and I would definitely recommended for you to watch the movie.
Delete1) Fahrenheit 451 taught me that everyone should care about each other and not fear having a personal connection with another person. It also taught me about the importance of learning about our past mistakes in history. Without that knowledge, people in power will tell us what to believe, and we would never know if it was right or wrong. When I look back on this novel in the future, I'm going to remember the novel's constant need to describe something. The novel can a full two pages of nothing but describing a farm where the protagonist spent his time during his childhood for no reason whatsoever. I'll also remember it's cool setting of a dystopian future where books are illegal. I don't really have a list of all time favorites, but I did enjoy the novel and will most likely read it again some time in the future.
ReplyDelete2) This class has taught me about how much fun reading can be. I haven't read a book all the way through since Freshman year of high school and this class made me want to start reading again. It also taught me about time management, even though it was a class that we had a lot of time to get our assignments done, I didn't wait till the last minute to get everything done.
those seem like some pretty good lessons and an interesting book
DeleteMy book Me and Earl and the Dying Girl taught me to make other peoples day/ life as great as possible. I will remember how Greg was determined to make Rachel's last days as memorable as possible. It ranks in my top 10 favorite books. This class has taught me to use my time wisely to make sure I get all my work done.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that this class has taught me to use my time and not wait till Sunday night to do things.
DeleteThis book has taught me that life might not go the way you want but you will have to make the best of it. The characters in my book weren't living the life they dreamed of, but they made the best of it. I will always remember this book because the story line was not like any other book I have read. It wasn't your typical love story. This book is in top 5, I really enjoyed reading this book.
ReplyDeleteThis class has taught me that you need to have good time management to get things done in this class. Mrs. B didn't hold our hand to make sure we got everything done, we had freedom, which was good. I learned that reading isn't as bad as I always thought it was.
I agree that English 4B taught us have good time management because with all the freedom we had in class some people don't like to work and goof around. This class us to use class time wisely because if we didn't have the stuff we needed done, we would get a 0 on it. I also agree I learned that reading isn't has bad has high schoolers think it is.
DeleteTime management was definitely a huge part of 4B! It also gives us a sense of how college will be!
Delete1.) In my novel Stotan! I learned that when things aren't going your way you need to find a way to put the difficulties behind you and push through them. When Jeff got diagnosed with a blood disease his friends wanted to end the swim season, but the team found a way to get pass the difficulty of possibly losing their friend to perform well at state. When I look back at this book 5 to 10 years from now I'll remember how the swim team came together to get pass their tough situation to perform well at state. I rank this book around an 8 or 10 because I could relate so much to this book and I like reading books I can relate to.
ReplyDelete2.) English 4B has taught how to use class time wisely especially when we get a entire week to write papers. This class has also taught me that life is a lot easier when you get things done early so you can have people read over your papers so you can make them better. Getting stuff done early is also easier so you don't have to rush to get it done at the last minute.
I feel the same about English 4b because it let you go your own pace at times but you shouldn't procrastinate so much that you don't have enough time in the end, I feel like it's an important life lesson to go by for the future.
DeleteI agree with you because in this class at first I didn't do anything and then I realized that I needed to do these things to pass this class so then I became more responsible about getting my stuff done.
DeleteIn my book Michael Vey 3 the theme would be even though it will or may be hard, if you start something you need to finish it. I will remember it because I have always been taught that principal it is something I try to commit myself to doing no matter what it is this book series is one of my favorite, it is really interesting, and pulls you in right away. It is not a hard read, but it is not an easy one either. I love the plot of Michael and how he finds out more about himself, and how he changes from being a kid with no self esteem to a great leader.
ReplyDeleteMy book has taught me the lesson to keep trying. all through this book Evie has faced and overcome obstacles. In five years i will remember the writing style of this book more than the lot or action itself and this book is within my top 30 books. this class has taught me that writing down and discussing the book gives you a much better understanding of the book. Before i had understood most of the books, but when i wrote down the highlights, i was able to link certain parts of the book with other parts of the boo that i had never thought of before.
ReplyDeleteMy book also taught me this lesson of keep trying. If you stop trying you will never accomplish what you are trying to do.
DeleteMy book also emphasizes that lesson of keep trying. It is a very important lesson and can show grit.
DeleteThe lesson night taught me is that how negative the situation is someone has it worse. what i will look back at and remember is how vividly it described the smell or how things looked. Night is probably on of my top 10 books. the class has taught me that reading isnt all that bad
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly with your lesson for Night. Those people were once hard working citizens who did nothing to get that treatment leveled against them. People now think they got it bad because they do not have the newest smart phone, or the fastest car, but they don't realize that other don't even have enough to put food on the table or to even have a table or house.
DeleteWe all make mistakes, Nobody is perfect, although we make mistakes the challenges we go through can be insane, but all we can do is learn from what we go through and go from there.
ReplyDeleteI think that that is a good lesson and that we need to keep moving forward no matter what happens to us.
Deletethat is a great lesson everyone should learn.
DeleteThis sums up all the lessons from the books.
DeleteThis relates to my book because in the end Louie decided to forgive the Japanese men who tortured him. No one is perfect even in war time conditions, also the over all theme of the books are so similar in relation to the people who made mistakes and regreted it.
Delete1) This book has taught me that life can change fast than what you think. Just because one day is good doesn't mean that it's going to be good all the time. It also taught me that if a dog has rabies that it isn't something that you should mess around with because it could end really bad. This is one of my favorite books that I have read this year.
ReplyDelete2)This class taught me that I am going to set a schedule for me so I get stuff down on time and that I shouldn't wait for the last minute to do things.
same thing for me to.
DeleteMy book was pretty similar... One day it was a nice cozy well maintained town and the next day a guy was killed by a werewolf. It was a pretty drastic change! And then another person died every month it was kinda crazy.
DeleteI feel like my book can relate because one minute Dex and Darcy are getting married and then the next Dex was moving in with Rachel.
DeleteMy book also taught me that. When she moved away she didn't realize so much had changed back in Chicago until she went there to see her friend again.
Delete1) This book has taught me that life is not always as easy as they make it sound because Apollo went from being an immortal god to a mortal not knowing what to do with his life and had no where to go starting out he was robbed beat up and many more things.
ReplyDelete2) This class has taught me to get stuff done early instead of waiting until the last minute.
My book kind of had the same characteristics because my main character August didn't have the easiest life, but always made the best out of it.
Delete1. Promise Not to Tell has some very good lessons throughout the book. One of them is to always be honest with yourself even if others do not support it. Another great lesson that was talked about a lot is to respect and be kind to everyone, no matter who they are. If I choose to read this book again in ten years, something that I will remember about this book is to give second or multiple chances even if the person does not deserve it.
ReplyDelete2. On my all time favorite books this one would be number five. It would be number five because overall it was a good book but it took me a little while to like it or to not put the book down because it started off slow, but it ended really good and exciting.
1) My book has several meanings and themes behind it, but the one that sticks out the most is to be yourself. Libby didn't care after a while of being bullied, and became who she really is. The author did a great job at showing that beauty is only skin deep, and that people should like you for who you are and not your appearance which seems to be an issue in today's society. The book is actually inspiring and hopefully I can make it to where Libby is as a person. She forgives and forgets, loves and learns, is friendly to anyone and everyone even the popular girls in school. Libby is strong mentally and physically, confident, and awesome. This book was very well written and ranks high on my list just like the author's other book.
ReplyDelete2) English 4B actually taught me quite a bit! Kind of surprised. The class taught me the skill we will all need right after we get out of this place called high school. Discussion and speaking skills. I thought it was nonsense to sit down and talk about some random book, but even though we had to speak for an adequate grade, it was a time that uncommon people sat down to talk that may not have talked before, and listen to what to say.
1) I have learned multiple things but some things, I already knew. I learned that it is possible to get away from someone dangerous, even if it's hard. I saw it in the book. When Britt found out the truth about someone she thought she knew, she kept denying he could do such a thing. By the end of the book, she never wants to see him again. This book revolves around people changing, and being different than you used to know them. It's almost as if it's not the same person but a completely different one. The front of the book says "Danger is hard to resist". I knew that but am happy someone brought attention to the issue.
ReplyDelete2) I learned the importance of reading logs and how they actually help. Reading logs also connect the book to your life easier. You can tell by a few quotes how it relates to your life. This is something i'm willing to do in the future because it's so much help. It helps you remember what you last read also! You can look back at your reading log some day and actual remember what book you read and what it was about thanks to the reading log!

ReplyDelete1. The theme in More Than You Know is love because in the begin of the book Hannah Gray says "Somebody said 'true love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.' I've seen both and I don't know how to tell you which is worse." Through out the book there is strong relationships and weak relationships. Hannah always had a strong relationship with Conary Crocker who she meet at Miss. Clossy Apple Orchard. They where perfect for each other. But not only did she have a strong relationship with Conary, she also had something with ghost or the ghost had something for her. If I were to look back on this book five years later I will remember everything Hannah seen in Edith house. If I had to rank this book it would probably be way at the bottom of all of my books. It was not one of my favorite.
ReplyDelete2. The lessons I learned in this class is the importance to take notes as you read no matter how many pages it takes. It is also very important in participate in group discussion and work on you communication skills. In English 4B I learned more on what kind of books I like and what kind of reader I'm!
1.) This book taught me that even if you didn't have the best past, and you've made a lot of mistakes, you can become better and do great things with the right kind of inspiration. It also teaches you how good it is to have people there to help you.
ReplyDelete2.) This class has taught me to get better at getting things done on time, though not great at it still, I am far better at turning in my work than I have ever been. With freedom definitely comes responsibility.
Yeah, I can totally agree with your second answer. This class has really taught me how to reach my goals and manage my time. The time management was highly important in keeping caught up with the class.
DeleteYour book reminds me a lot of mine because of the mistakes that caused many bad things to happen and that there are oodles of other people who are willing to help a friend out of a crisis.
DeleteThis book i read has a very obvious lesson in it and that is not to give up. This was shown when he was all most kicked out of the army rangers when they found out that he was color blind. But he a really hard work and a really good sniper so they then deiced to let him stay. He was always pushed in his training and in hiss life at home.
ReplyDeleteThis book have taught me a few lesson on how to push myself and the class in its self has shown me that i can still read and finish even though i haven't done it in awhile.
Deleteits sounds that like the lesson is if you are good at something be the best person there is at it and dont give up till you are
Deletein the book blue lily lily blue has taught me that no matter what happens in your life.no matter how much you think everyone is against you . that you cant no give up and that things will get better over time. in 5 to 10 years from now i will probably not remember this book at all.this book probally ranks lower on the books that i like.
ReplyDeletethis class has taught me to take more responsibility in getting things done and that you only get from it as much as u out forward
My book also teaches this lesson, and I agree that this class has definitely taught me more responsibility.
DeleteThis book really wasn't one of my personal favorites, the way inn which it was told from different views threw me off for the majority of it. It didn't have a solid story in my opinion. The only life lesson that I really got from this book is to no underestimate someone. Because, in a town full of people a young kid in his wheel chair was the only one capable of killing the Beast. In ten years I feel as if I wont even recall this story. It really didn't have a main focus point or leave much of an impression on me.
ReplyDeleteEnglish 4b has taught me that I really can't slack off for the rest of my life if I want to keep up with it all. I have learned how to manage my time better and focus on what needs done and when it needs done.
ReplyDeleteThis class has taught me so much and it taught me grow up because you gave us a lot of freedom and you were not going to babysit us to get our work done. We had to have the responsibility to get it done and turn it in on. This class has really help me grow up and get my work done.
ReplyDelete1) I read the book Divergent and a big lesson it showed was to not give up because she came to the dauntless fraction as a weakling and was scared and by the end of the book she was one of the top dauntless transfers. I choose to read this book because the movie is one of my favorites so I would have to say this book is definitely in my top 2 of favorite books. In 5-10 years from now I will remember the book being very similar with the movie.
ReplyDelete2) A big thing thing this class taught me was that procrastination is really bad because I really liked to procrastinate on reading the books and than felt rushed when they were due to be handed in the next day. Another thing I learned was that reading can be enjoyable if you choose a book that you like and find interesting.
I agree with you that this class taught you that reading is enjoyable. and it sounds like you read a good book.
DeleteIn 1st To Die, the lesson it teaches is that you should never give up when things are looking down and to always move forward in your life and to not worry on the past. I will always remember this book for its view on police life and that the truth is stranger than fiction.This book ranks 2nd in my favorite list below Along Came A Spider.
ReplyDeleteThis class has taught me that you can never judge a book just by the name and cover. It has also taught me to try new books that I never heard of.
i agree with this and thats how my book is
DeleteThe lesson that I learned from my book is to live everyday like its your last and take advantage of everything you have. The main character in my book thought he was invincible going into the war because he was an officer. The lesson i learned from all the books i read was do not take anything for-granted, because Someone else probably has it rougher than you. Alot of the books had some messed up things going on in them that the characters didn't want others to know about.
ReplyDeleteThis lesson you learned from your book is a good one because it will make you have plenty of memories to relive when youre going through your final moments but it will also have many risks in life
DeleteThis overall theme in Unbroken is simply in the title. Unbroken though all the torture, starvation, famish, and getting beat up. In 5-10 years I will look back on this book because it has taught me a lesson about how everything we go though is not as bad as it may seem. Whether it is running your fastest time in the mile or wanting to give up on a hard class or being hungry and tired from working an 8 hour shift i think this book teaches an overall lesson that will be good in most peoples's lives. The number one lesson i learned in this class is to get your work done on time and it only matters what you do and how well you can finish it. With all the freedom and responsiblity i learned to make sure i get my stuff done correctly and on time. Having the control over when you read and how fast makes you responsible.
ReplyDelete1) I learned that everything is not always as perfect as people try to make it seem. Darcy always tried to play it off like her relationship with Dex was so perfect when they were both cheating on each other. I also learned that taking risks can end up making you happy. Rachel was so scared of dating Dex because she didn't want to lose Darcy, but once she lost Darcy, she actually felt better because they didn't have to hide their relationship anymore.
ReplyDelete2) This class taught me to be responsible and have my crap together so that I don't get overwhelmed at the last minute.
Dearest lexi,
DeleteYou will never have your crap together. but neither will i. so lets just be overwhelmed cry babies together.
1.) I read the book Tell Me Three Things and the big lesson that showed in my book was that everyone has a different life outside of school and what you say can affect them with their daily life. Jessie moved to a new school because her dad married a new woman after her mother passed away. She didn't know anyone there and felt out of place. She got mocked a lot during school and called names and started to feel like she was what they called her because she didn't feel like herself anymore with her mom. When I look back on this book, I will remember that it takes one person to step up and help someone feel welcomed to a new area. I would rank this book towards the top of my list for my favorite books.
ReplyDelete2.) This class has taught me that you have to chose your time wisely or you will procrastinate a lot and push things off until they are due that day. I also learned that never to judge a book by its cover because you might like it more than you think.
Same procrastination in this class killed me i put to many things off for later and never really got to them
DeleteOne lesson this book has taught me is to always believe in yourself. If you believe in yourself then you will be able to do it. Once Harry believed he could do something he did it. In 5-10 years I will remember this books story line because it is really good. This book ranks pretty high on my all time favorites but it is not my favorite book. My favorite book is the 4th Harry Potter book.
ReplyDelete2. The lesson this class taught me is to be responsible and get all my things done. For example I had to make sure I read my book so I could participate in group discussions.
I agree with you on how we had to be responsible to get our stuff done for the group discussions because I would always wait util the very last day to do my reading log so then throughout the year I got better at filling it out and turning it in on time.
Deletei also agree being responsible was one of the hardest parts of this class being at the end of the year and everyone wanting to let loose and all.
Delete1) i read the book Night and a lesson i learned from my book is not to take anything for granted. People have had things worse off than I do. This book is not high up on my favorites. if i look back on this book in 5 years i will remember it as the book that kinda messed with my head there was so much stuff that was just heavy and messed with my feelings.
ReplyDelete2) a thing that this class taught me was not to put everything on the back burner. i need to learn how to prioritize.
PREACH IT SISTER!!!
DeleteI've known you for a long time and I agree with you. You used to put things off but lately you've been facing things head on! Keep it up. Ily!
Deleteyes i agree with the back burner thing.
DeleteI agree with what you said about what this class taught us. It helps us when we are in college and have more freedom but we have to be responsible and get things done.
ReplyDeletei aggree 100% with time manage ment i didnt not do that so well at the begining of the year .
ReplyDeleteMy book taught me that when life gets hard to use your head and you can make it through anything. Hardy uses the knowledge his father taught him to survive and keep moving west against all odds.If I had to rank this book, it would be in my top 5 favorite books to read.
ReplyDeleteThis class taught me responsibility. We were given the freedom to do what we want and if we fell behind or didn't get our work done it was our fault.
I agree With the time mangent.
Deletethe biggest lesson i have learned from a long way gone is. in the end of the book he tells the story of the monkey and the hunter. the hunter points his gun at the monkey an the monkey turns and looks at him and says"if you kill me your mother died but if you dont your father dies" and then are presented with the question what do you do. and Ishmael says he would kill the monkey so that no other person would have to go through the same decision. and what hes taking about i think is the war, if given the opportunity he would make the hard decision so nobody else would have to i think this book in on the top ten all-time favorite books. In English class i have learned its easier to journal good while you read verses after a big chunk. and that papers are better done sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read that book that part did stick out to me. I didn't think of a solution like that but when he said that he would shoot the monkey so nobody else would do that I thought that was a very selfless reason.
Delete1. My book has taught me a really big life lesson. that even though that times are hard right now that things will get better. in 5 years when i look back on this book ill remember that boys are stupid and cause drama! I liked the first book way better then the second one.
ReplyDelete2. the lessons that this class has taught me was that never wait till the last day to read 100 pages in one night.
Lol, agreed! I also had 100 pages to read in one night!
Delete1.) The theme that i got out of my book is to keep pushing through and moving forward even through hard times. One thing i will remember about this book is how Elie kept pushing and trying to survive even in times that he didn't want to and thought he couldn't. He kept moving forward and survived from his situation. This book ranks one of my all time favorites because it kept me interested and had a great story to tell.
ReplyDelete2.)This class has taught me to not wait until the last minute to do something. because then you're just stressed out and unfocused. Its also better to take notes on a book so you don't forget about things that happen, big or small things.
1. my book play makers has taught me a couple different lessons like don't doubt your self confidence. It also told me that don't focus to much attention over one dumb thing. i will remember that in 5 years to focus on myself. this book would be ranked around my 5th.
ReplyDelete2. this class has taught me that with free time always use it and never wait until the last secound
the lesson you learned from your book seems like a good one to keep in mind because it will stop you from doubting your abilities and it will lead you to become a greater person.
DeleteA lesson the book taught me is that there are people worth trusting with secrets, but taking a chance to figure out whom that person is, is the scary part. A lesson this class taught me is that you are given an assignment and a due date, and you are not forced to work at all, however you choose to spend your time is up to you, whether you pass the class or not.
ReplyDelete1) In my book The Returned, I learned that people will always find a way to discriminate others even when the people they discriminate against have done nothing wrong. I believe, in a way, that I will always think of this book for the future because after I get out of school there are going to be many different cultures and opinions on topics that you don't experience much in school. I think this book ranks probably second or third because of the relation to today's society without making it about politics.
ReplyDelete2) English 4b has taught me many things such as; time management, teamwork, and most importantly problem solving. I feel like there are many things could have gone better but in the end our group worked it out.
In my book Two Minute Drill the main theme I think is to never give up. I say that because in the book Scott has to overcome the bullying from Jimmy Dolan, and with how he never gets put in the football game but loves football. The entire book Scott is just waiting for his opportunity to get put into the football game, and he finally gets that opportunity at the end of the book, because he ends up making the final kick to win the championship game. Every day Scott would still go to the games or practices and have to listen to Jimmy Dolan talking back to him, but at the end he proved almost everybody wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis book has taught me two things 1. Never judge a book by its cover. Cracker was a beautiful dog with a bad behavior, you could classify her as on of the worst dogs in Vietnam but with a slow beginning she came around and ended up being the best.2. Always make the best of any situation no matter how bad it is rick could have been a snob about the terrible conditions of the war but instead he met new friends and worked out and made him self a better person while at war. 5 years from now i will remember that rick was so close to giving up on cracker but then he did not and that made all the difference and ended up making a best friend out of the deal. This is one of my favorite books only because i do not read much and i normally do not even finish a book unless it hooks me.
ReplyDelete1.)Something I will never forget about this book is Zoe committing suicide by jumping off the Grand Canyon. Zoe had gone through so much with battling her diseases. She needed help but she always refused. Hannah and Zoe’s friendship really stuck out to me in this book also. Hannah did everything to try to help Zoe in any way she could but unfortunately just wasn’t able to help her. Hannah was a very loyal person. Even when Hannah got a boyfriend, Danny, She never left Zoe. She always did things with her and continued to try and help even tho she basically had a different life outside of her friendship with Zoe.
ReplyDelete2.)I kept myself organized from the beginning and planned out my calendar before I even got it. Although some nights I decided not to read because none of us were reading the same book so if i was not at my stopping point, no one else would know. It caused me to get behind on my reading but I got caught back up.
The lesson I learned by read the book a long way gone how bad the war was and how like when you do drugs and then you have like with draws and you start to get messed up in the head. Also the way the war messed people up. The lesson that this class taught me is that you have to use your time wisely.
ReplyDeletethe lesson i learned from Storm is that even though i dont like to sometimes i will need take the lead because not everybody is capable of it and i think i should play my part. And english has taught me that i need to be prepared and on time if i want to reach my goals.
ReplyDelete1. My book taught me that not every thing turns out they way you want it to because in my book Ted expected to be starting the first game and he got benched because they all ready had a third base man. This book is one of my favorite books because i like to read about baseball and sports books.
ReplyDelete2. The class taught me that when you have that much freedom you have to make sure you get your stuff done and turned in on time because for the first two books I slacked off a lot and I did a lot better on the third book.
1.)the theme i can take away from my book is to stay strong and keep your loved ones close to you and in your life.
ReplyDelete2.) this class taught me that you can be friends with anyone and bond over anything. you just have to sit down and share time and stories with other people.
i agree with you and what the class taught us. i liked how the book taught you and what it showed
ReplyDelete
