The jacket thesis paragraph

The Jacket by Gary Soto is a story where you learn about how you people shouldn't care about what you look like on the outside. In this story, the boy has to get a new jacket and is kind of exited until he saw what he got. It was super ugly and thought everyone was judging him and that is why everything when wrong. "I blame that jacket for those bad days".

Summaries of readings

Flu summary: Fay is a girl who was very sick. She ends up getting better and going back to work. When she gets to work, she talks to Aldo who she falls in love with. This shows you that good can come from bad.

Jacket summary: The Jacket was about a boy who grew out of his coat and had to get a new one. He was exited until he saw what his mom got him. It was a guacamole green coat that everyone judged him for. He felt bad, but he realized that he should be grateful.

Romeo and Juliet perdiction

I think that Romeo and Juliet will die, one because Romeo said that exile is worse than death, so I think that because of that and because he is implosive, he will make a rash decision, so he doesn't have to live without Juliet, instead die. Than I think that Juliet will be super sad because of that and she will decide that if she dies that she can possibly be with Romeo because she loves him so much, so she'll just kill herself.

Romeo and Juliet movies

On the first movie it stuck to almost exactly what happened. I probably liked this one the second best. I liked how you could see what we read. Everyone had masks in this one.

The second one they did a lot of singing and dancing and it was still in more of an older setting, just more singing and dancing. This one is my third favorite. Only some boys had masks in this one.

The third one I liked the best. It was in more of a modern setting and I liked seeing how it would be more now, and seeing the conflict more with the families and with two boys fighting over Juliet. This was a costume party.

The last one was knomeo and Juliet and it was... I just don't know.

  Romeo is a player, he doesn't want to be alone, but he doesn't know what he wants. He was originally obsessed with Rosaline, and now he is totally over her and into the enemy, Julet. The huge theme that I see is love.

  One quote is "Go ask his name-- If he is married, My grave is like my wedding bed."
This is important because it shows us that he loves him so much that if he is married, she would die a non married.

Another quote is "The fearful passage of a death-marked love."
This is important because it shows us that their is going to be love in this story and that people are going to die... kind of important.

How did the book end? OR How do you think it’s going to end?

My book ended with Agust dying, he wrote a letter to Van Houtlen and was basically writing Hazels story but saying that it was the end to his book.

Was the problem resolved in a satisfactory way?  Why or why not?

I don't think it did. I think that it's mostly because Agust dies.

Would you recommend it to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, It's a good emotional book. It's fun to read and be in the story.

I think that I enjoy reading realistic fiction. If it's a real story, I never seem to find it interesting enough, but I really have enjoyed reading ones that aren't real, but could happen. I think that these were good themes in my books, love and cancer, but I wouldn't want to read them forever. I don't think that I would want to read only this autor, I liked it, but I don't think that it's perfect for me. I think that this difficulty level was good for me, but I sometimes do enjoy reading easier books. It was wrote from 1st person, I like this type of person and seem to read this type of book a lot. 

Divergent-- it's a good book

Nicolas sparks-- relate to life

Unwanteds-- it's a good book

The Fault in our Stars-- Book Review

   One conflict that has happened in my book so far is when Hazel wanted to go to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author of her favorite book "An Imperial Affliction" that doesn't really have an ending. She wants to meet him to find out what happens. The story does not go on because it's most likely a diary, and the narrator had cancer and was either to sick to continue or died. Hazel wanted answers to what happened. Some cancer patients get a wish and Hazel had already spent hers, so she didn't know how to get to Amsterdam. The part about getting there was solved, but she has not gotten answers to her questions.
   The problem of getting to Amsterdam has been competed, but she meet the author and she hasn't gotten answers, because he's a dumb drunk.
   YES!!! I would recommend this book to a friend. It is very engaging and a very fun and real book that I have LOVED so far!!!
    This book is about a girl who's name is Hazel. She has cancer in her lungs. She goes to this support group and meets a boy that she is into. She decides to try dating him. One of the things that they do when they first meet is exchange books and they discover that they are both into to this book called "An Imperial Affliction". Hazel wanted to go to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author of her favorite book "An Imperial Affliction" that doesn't really have an ending. She wants to meet him to find out what happens. The story does not go on because it's most likely a diary, and the narrator had cancer and was either to sick to continue or died. Hazel wanted answers to what happened. Some cancer patients get a wish and Hazel had already spent hers, so she didn't know how to get to Amsterdam. Will she find a way to meet her beloved author? I think that this book is a 4.5, it's good, but not all books are perfect.
