My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was a decent book. Strait and to the point, there is a kid that lives with his parents and four siblings. He is stuck living in the basement will his siblings live a peaceful life almost. His mom will give him old food or little to none food while his siblings get whatever they want. While he is in his room which is all plain and a couple of things he hides his note book and he writes in code. He writes in code so his parents couldn't read it. The story goes on and he finds a teacher that changes his life. He gets a job with and becomes friends with a co-worker. He starts to like the co-worker. After a while he starts righting normal and reveals his life to the world. All in all I recommend the book it’s a great story. It shows how you can always over come something no matter how bad the situation is. I recommend the book, and rate it about three stars out of five.

Reading History

History of Reading

Matthew Koch

When I think about literacy, allot comes to my mind. I think of it as a form of trading knowledge through words. It is a way of passing on experiences lessons or even just for fun. It’s everywhere in our lives, your reading and writing now, ever were you go you need to read or write. The roots of literacy were planted the day a formal national way to read and write was created.

No one really in flounced me to start to read. M teachers and when I was little I would read with my mom. My first experience reading was with my mom I think; before I would go to bed we would read. Some of my favorite nursery rhymes or fairy tales were humptydupty, little red riding hood, and Alice in wonderland. I would read them books all the time.
I had gone to Clementon elementary school all my life. I know that school like an astronomer knows the star constellations. Usually I am into science fiction, fiction or sports book allot. I found this out during school. I have never really been into reading a whole lot unless I was forced to. My teachers never got me in to the habit to like reading allot.
The middle school I went to was m elementary school, Clementon elementary school. My favorite authors that I like are jerry spinelli, Scott westerfeld, and Todd stasser. Always liked the same genres I don’t know why though they just come to my interest.
I want to read the sequels to "The uglies"; also I would like to read the call of the wild and heat. They seem like pretty interesting books to me. Some times I ready my dans comp magazine, it’s a biking magazine. I consider everyone a literate person because we all read and write on a daily basis there for I consider myself literate.
I kind a like reading all in all even though I doo get distracted some times, lol. (Laugh out loud) Right now I am reading the power point pointing out what you want in our essay, but I’m reading 2 minute drills right now. Literacy is import because you have to read every single day even if it is a stop sign. Literacy helped me in many ways, as in easier ways of communication to reading a book and learning a life lesson. Literacy is like a tree because it grows on and on and branching and expanding.
