I am a book called Beast. So far Stephen ran over a dog but it didn't die, so he decided to keep it. I have always wanted a dog because people are always talking about their pets and I have wanted an animal since I was young.
I once had a cat it was the most energetic ever, everyone loved that cat. We used to play with it all day. That cat was so fast when it wanted to be, because even cats can choose if they want to do something or not. We couldn't keep the cat because my grandma was allergic to the cat so we had to give it away.
I wish I had my cat back even though it wasn't a dog it was still an animal and it was awesome. I loved my cat, all my friends loved it too. Only if I still had that cat life would have been a bit more fun.

Beast (reading response)
Dear Mrs. F
I am reading a book called Beast, it is about a 17 almost 18 year old Foster child who feeds his monster that he found every month. This book is confusing to me right now because I think they are going to make everything fit in later.
In this book Stephen is about to be kicked out of his home because he is almost 18. so he got a job. I was thinking about getting a job but my parents wont let me. I don't know when I will be getting a job. I wont be sure because so many things are coming up. My Parents say I wont get my Learners Licence until I'm 16, so i Wont be getting my drivers until I'm 18.
I am also moving so it will be even harder getting my learners. Maybe I wont be in the place I'm moving to, maybe I might go back to Pakistan who knows? Most likely I'm going to move to Calgary because my brother lives there and my dad got a job there. I think I will be moving at the beginning or the end of summer. So I can sort of imagine being in his situation because I have lived in 6 cities 3 countries and 2 continents. Stephen has also moved a lot so i could be in his situation but im not a foster child and I could not know how I could survive without my family.

Inside my Non-fiction reading bubble.
1. The non-fiction books that I have been recently been reading would be text books. It is different from reading novels because a text book is basically information a novel is a story. A text book is different because it had information to memorize and learn where as a novel is for reading for fun.
2. When I read a text book I am usually focused on memorizing the text. I also notice myself reading over what I read before.
3. I find my way around by the index because it has all of the definitions of the words we learn. The glossary because it helps me find my way around the book.
4. I really do not have any strategies of reading my text book. Well the only strategy that I think I would look at the subtitles to help me.
5.I think the most difficult thing about reading a text book is pronouncing the words I have never seen and memorizing things I don't get.
6. I don't think that anything would help me become a non-fiction reader because I think I read my non-fiction books better than I read fiction books.
7. The purpose I read a non-fiction book is either for school or learning more information to use in my everyday life. The purpose I read a novel is for fun.

Reading response - ( Lawn Boy )
Dear Mrs.K
I have finished reading a book called Lawn boy. It is about a 12 year boy who makes $500,000 buy mowing lawns and Stocks/Shares.
I have a lot of thoughts about this book. At the end of the book his dad faints after seeing how much money he has and his Grandma says something and it ends. What I don't get about this book is that the ending just leaves you thinking what would happen next, and there is no sequel so you wonder what he did next. In my opinion the author should have gavin a few more pages about what happens next. At the end the grandma says if you take care of your tools they will take care of you. This book ended really meaningful for a not that meaningful story. This book does relate to me because it did not remind me of any experiences, in my opinion this book was more Fiction than Non-Fiction. The only part that reminds me of something is that his parents are both very smart. My parents are very smart, my mom is a doctor and my dad is a traffic planner. That is the only connection I think I have with this book.
