Ben, Day 1, I do love bloging its so much fun! A few weeks ago I was reading a book called inkheart and it went from character(s) to character(s) point of view. This book reminds me of " Bridge to Terabithia because they are both very confusing. This chapter reminds me of "Ice Magic" because the main character made it to the finals and if you lost 1 game you were out of the playoffs. this chapter so far is good. I found a similie on page 3 "-- and as loud as things were permitted to get in that , large cold room. Where are the other characters?. New vocab to me " derive " what does that even mean? I think it means to come from. my favorite ( and the only one we've met.) is Mrs .O she sounds very nice. I hope you guys like being in my group! Guess i'm the first one.
