Chapter 6: Flying Solo

Question: What makes you wonder in this book? What confuses you?



















Answer:  What makes me wonder is why the author made this layout like he did. Instead of having chapters, they are labeled as times and either a name or where he is. What confuses me is the chapters don't flow together. Once one chapter is over, you don't really hear about that person anymore. Also, the chapters are about 1 page long.

Chapter 5: Flying Solo

Question: What type of reader would enjoy this book? Why?

Answer: A type of reader that would enjoy this book is a type of reader that don't like a lot of big chapters or something new every chapter. Every chapter introduces a new person. The book does get a little confusing and pointless because you start to learn about a person then you turn the page and it's someone new. Also, it doesn't tell you about the person, it just tells you what they are doing and tell a story that connects to the whole book.

Chapter 4:
question: Examine, in detail, one character's personality. 


One character that I could explain in detail is Jessica. Her personality would be caring, and not afraid to express herself and be different. She is caring because when her sister asked her to teach her how to ride a horse she was willing to help but she couldn't due to school. Some sisters wouldn't want to help their little sisters because some think their little siblings are annoying and they don't do anything for them. But Jessica was the opposite. Also, she was not afraid to express herself and be different. She didn't mind to be different because she was the tallest kid in the sixth grade and she didn't mind being different. She thought it suited her. Some people that are really tall hate it. Also, they think they don't fit them.

Chapter 3: My favorite sentence is "'what are you going to be when you grow up?' Jessica asked her. 'A horsey rider!' Monica said. This is my favorite sentence because it was one of the funniest sentence in the book so far. Also, Monica (jessica's little sister) asked Jessica if she could help her ride a horse but Jessica had to say no becuase of school. This is also my favorite sentence because Monica wanted her sisters help.

Chapter 1: Flying Solo

Chapter 1

After reading the opening chapter, my feelings were the same as the main character had felt. The main character, Rachel, was shocked and disapointed that her best friend, Tommy Feathers had died. She was trying to ''find the words inside her.''  '' She reached deep down inside hersef to find those words, but they were cold when she touched them. Frozen. She knew those words could never fly.'' Rachel's mom also had the same emotions. ''Things got pretty crazy after that. Mom talked to her. Pleaded. Begged. Cried. That night, and for many nights after, Mom held Rachel in her arms. Mom wept and talked and begged some more.'' As you can see, Mom had the same emotions as Rachel and myself had.

Chapter 2 review

Chapter 2:

From the reader response questions I chose "I believe the author wanted the reader to..."

  I believe the author wanted the reader to connect and relate to the book. The author probably wanted the reader to connect so they could stay focused and interested. If they don't stay focused and interested the readers will get bored and won't understand what the author is trying to say. Also, the author probably wanted the readers to relate because when people relate to what they are reading they understand more and can visualize easier than if they don't relate.
