book report- language arts

book report- because of Winn-Dixie
by:Jaehoon Jeong


The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket-and comes out with a dog. A big, ugly, suffering dog but has a sweetheart and good sense of humor. A dog she dubs is named Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn-Dixie is better at making friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of War and Peace. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and Otis, who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then lulls them with his guitar.


I think this book is very important because it tells even animals and things can make people happy and fun. For example in this book, all because of that ugly and big dog, Opal made so many friends. I think that is the reason why it is titled “Because of Winn-Dixie”. Furthermore, I think animals can think and do just like us or human. They can respond and react in different situation.


I really feel sorry for Winn-Dixie and thank to Opal because if Opal didn’t adopted Winn-Dixie, it would have suffered from hunger and sad. So I think I should adopt an animal or a kid when I grew older, if not possible, I would donate.


I really recommend this book to people who think that animals has no thinking and stupid. I want to tell them that animals can react and see just like us. Also, there is a very good movie for this story, I have watched it and I think you will understand better like me if u watch it.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.-A photographic story of a life
Amy Pastan


For a few days, I have been reading this book and at the same time learning new facts too. This book shows courage,bravery, and also freedom and many other traits too. This book mentioned some very high level vocabulary but I still was able to read it. I would say this book is okay.

The setting of this book takes place in many different places in the U.S.A. The setting was in Montgomery ,Simsbury, Connecticut, and many other places.Read to find out the others.

The main character of this book is of course Martin Luther King Jr.  and he is devastated about the segregation between the whites and blacks. As he grows up, he tries making a difference to stop the segregation. There is a very sad ending but NO SPOILERS! What will he do, will he finally succeed or will he fail his objective?! FIND OUT IN THE BOOK!!!!!

I would rate this book okay because it is not the most interesting  compared to Realistic Fiction’s like Percy Jackson series’  . I would say this is great informational wise.
HAPPY READING

Futa's book review #3

    I read a book called Found. The reason I got interested in this book is because I like Mystery book and I also "found"  out that it is also Realistic fiction!  I love Realistic Fiction and plus Mystery, it was my best collaborated book type. Anyway, this book is a full of Mysteries. The most interesting mystery for me is when the Airplane laded in gate which there should be no airplane and the airplane is the plane that has been lost 27 years ago. I think my best mystery type is when something comes out that was lost. I like these type because this makes me want to read more and more and more.  This  type of Mystery is really major but this book made this mystery type made me keep reading and reading that my mom had to take my book and pull me back to the bed. This book was so super good. I hope I will find next series of this book.

Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer

I just finished the book Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer in the month of November. I just kept turning the page one after the other. It was so good. It was about a boy named Artemis Fowl who is thirteen years old and is a criminal mastermind. He has his butler always by his side. Then he made a cube called the C Cube. It's basically a supercomputer that can hack into any network in the world and with that you can do anything. He makes a business deal with an American (Artemis is Irish) when it goes terribly wrong. In that process, Artemis is almost shot. Luckily for Artemis, Butler (his butler) dived in the way and got shot. The good thing was that Butler was wearing a bulletproof vest. The bad thing is that the bullet went through the bulletproof vest. Butler was severely injured. Luckily, Holly Short, Artemis and Butler's fairy friend comes to the rescue and heals Butler. Everyone advised Artemis not to do the healing process for Butler because there would be some side effects. Artemis still wanted to do it because Butler was like his only friend. When the healing process is done, Butler got about 15 years older! Then they battle public enemy number 1: Opal Koboi and the traitor: Cudgeon.

Do they defeat them? You'll have to find out yourself. This book much better than the 2nd book The Arctic Incident. It is not as boring and there is a lot more action.
This book was interesting and I recommend it to people who like fantasy and action books. I would rate this book 4/5 stars.

Dead is the new black - Marlene Perez

 I read 'Dead is the new black' by Marlene Perez, in November and it was so C-O-O-L. Its all about mystery and supernatural!(Good combination). Some of the  main characters are, Daisy Giordano, Poppy Giordano, Ryan Mendez, and Samantha Devereaux. Daisy has just got back from her summer vacation to Italy, but only with her sisters and her grandmother. Her mother is a psychic investigator, she works with Mr. Mendez/Ryan's dad, and she got caught up with a case in Italy, so her sisters and her are alone at home until their mom comes. Ryan is her boyfriend, he is a werewolf and he plays for the school's football team. Poppy, is Daisy's bigger sister and she is still upset with her ghost boyfriend. Samantha, is her best friend and her boyfriend, Sean, is best friends with Ryan, that's what Ryan thinks. Her neighborhood, Nightshade, has a lot of supernatural stuff going on, vampire, werewolf, but this time, it's 'Doppelgangers', they are an evil twin/clone of someone. Someone has been making them! She found out that one of her sister's boss, was a doppelganger. Doppelgangers have chunks of memories from the real twin but they love sugar, they would die without it~!. When she was 12, her dad left her family for an experiment(he was a scientist) and after he just disappeared, there are rumors that he started a new family but Ms. Giordano believes its about something else. While Daisy's mom was away, people kept saying Mr. Giordano is back in town, and once in the afternoon he went to her house and she was in shock, she saw the same keys and the same key chain she gave him '#1 dad'.He even had the same scent and handsome look. Could it be her real dad? Or is it a doppelganger? Should she call someone? 



If you love a story that has a little bit of romance, mystery, and fantasy, than this is the right book! :D make sure you read her other books~ (Dead is a new state of mind, Dead is the new black).

I would rate this a...

I begged mom for many years to let me go swimming and finally I got to go, I never got to go swimming ever before.And then on the first day of swim class in grade 7. I noticed something very unusual about myself,so first my legs turn heavy and turn into a block and finally I start getting scales like a fish and the next thing I know I am a mermaid.
well, I meet allot of new friends on the way and get new enemies. And I even might meet my dad??

One minute, I was skimming along like a flying fish.The next, my legs suddenly seized up.I felt as though somebody had glued my thighs together and strapped a splint on my shin! I tried to smile up at the teacher as I paddled to the side,but my legs had turned to a block of stone.I couldn't feel my knees,my feet,my toes.What was happening?A second later, and I almost went under completely. I screamed getting a mouthful of water.

I rate this book 4/5 stars because the author could have made the characters talk a little more.

I recommend this book to everybody that likes to read fantasy and mystery it is a great book and it is full of adventures.

John, is number 4.
He devolopes legacies and eventually can take down hundreds of human beings. He are being chased by Magadorians and have to constantly move and change all his ID. This time, in Ohio, he wants to stay with his friends, his dog, and live like a normal person. This is about the struggle to survive of a "alien".
It does contain a bit of language, but its not too bad. There is violence.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes suspense and drama books.

Book review: Brave new world By Aldous Huxley


Brave new world by Aldous Huxley

This book is about a time where we have to grow humans out of test tubes and make them slaves. And there is a factory dedicated to the system. They have a meter system, to put the child on the meter and over 9 months of time the meter will circulate, from the beginning to end in 9 months. What is amazing is that Aldous Huxley came to the idea of genetic mutation and lab growing, and that was in 1932, it's 2014 now and we just achieved the tech.

I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars, I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a little dough on the future of earth.

Queste by Angie Sage


About two weeks ago I finished the fourth book in the Septimus Heap series.
5 STARS!!!!
This book is AWESOME!!!

Septimus's older brother Nicko is trapped in time with Snorri Snorrelssen. It has been six months since Jenna and Septimus last saw them. They don't know what to do, how will they rescue Nicko and Snorri? Will they be stuck back in time forever? Marcellus Pye comes the rescue. Ever since he drank Septimus's Tincture he looks as young as ever. The immortal 500 year old man no longer looks like a 500 year old man! (but he still thinks like one) Marcellus tells Septimus, Jenna, and Beetle(Septimus's best friend) about The House of Foryx, the place Where All Times Do Meet. He said that Nicko and Snorri had set off for The House 500 years ago. He gave them a copy of a map to the House that Snorri had so carefully drawn, 500 years ago! He said that Nicko and Snorri had forgotten that people who enter the House may only exit when someone from any time arrives, and when they exit, they will enter that person's time. So Nicko and Snorri might be trapped in the House of Foryx! They can still rescue them! Jenna keeps the map, but a boy (Merrin Meredith) stubbornly bumps into her and Jenna drops them! The 500 year old papers were very fragile and tore in many tiny pieces when she dropped them. Meanwhile Septimus has an even bigger problem. That stubborn ghost, Tertius Fume, is trying to make him draw him draw from the Questing Pot! The Queste is something that every Extraordinary Apprentice goes on on the last day of their Apprenticeship. If the Apprentice draws a stone with nothing on it he will not have to go on the Queste, but if the stone has a gold Q on it, they have to go. One more thing, no one has ever come back from the Queste

Will Septimus go on the Queste?
If he does, will he survive?
Will they rescue Nicko and Snorri?

Read the book to find out!

Half magic Edward Eager



The girl name Jane found a nickel at the road. But it was not a normal nickel. It was a magic charm. The magic charm has a power that when you wish for something, half of them will come true. And that made a trouble. Some time, her sister gets half invisible, and some times, they get lost in sahara desert. And at last, the children learned something. I think this is a three star book because, its is little comedy and we can learn lots of things from this book.
