<Begin with a freewrite about your book. Write non-stop about your book. What have you been thinking about your book since you read last?>

I'm not really understanding some of <Title>, by <Author's First and Last Name> because <Finish this sentence.> An example of what I mean is on page < ___ >.  "<Copy a couple of lines or a paragraph from the book.>" I think this is <adjective> because... <Add 1 or 2 sentences>

My questions started on page < ____ > where it says: "<Copy another 2 or 3 sentences or a pagagraph from the book>." I think that this is important because <Explain the biggest events or conflicts in the story so far, then go on to explain why you think this particular event or conflict is confusing , surprising, unsusual, odd, or unclear.>

Another place where I had questions in <Title> was on page < _____> where <Explain what happens.> I think the author is trying to make the point that <Make a guess -- speculate -- as to what point the author is trying to make with this section of the book.>

I <am / am not> looking forward to reading the rest of this book because <Add 2 or 3 sentences explaining why you feel this way.> What's probably going to happen next is <Make predictions about what will happen next to one or more of the characters in your book>

    I am read Kira Kira this book these days, it is very emotional book. and i love this book very much. it tells that how a 14 years old girl look toward to this world, how the lives of japanese immigrants to the US, and so on.
    I do not understand when Lynn wakes up crying one night and says that in her dream she is swimming in the ocean. How does this dream foreshadow her death? i think it may tells her that her death may would be coming, and hse no longer lives in the world.
    Another i do not understand is that The first time that Katie experiences prejudice is at the motel in Tennessee when her family is moving to Georgia. Why does Mr. Takeshima quietly give in to the motel clerk and take the room in the back?
     I am looking forward this book and i have so many questions abou tthis book, this book is very emotional, and curiosities.

I was bored so I decided to whip out my book " The Giver" and give it a read for about 30 minutes. The more I read this book, I enjoy it. Reason for this is because it's so unique. It gives the audience an outlook of society and how much society can affect an individual. Unlike other books out there, " The Giver" gives out a subtle but at the same time, an exquisite feel.

Just like any other reader, I tend to ask multiple questions while reading a book. I would ask questions about the character and try to figure out what the theme of the story is about. Although I'm not close to finishing the book, I believe the theme of "The Giver" is to teach us a lesson about life. I'm guessing Jonas, the main character of the book, will find his inner abilities towards the end of the book.

Like I said before, it's a habit of mine to ponder about questions in my head. One of the questions I wasn't so sure about was why the author made Jonas the way he was. Was he in love with Fiona?

Last time I read Breaking Dawn things got serious. Bellas life was at stake and so was her baby. Edward and Jacob didn't know how to deliver the child. On top of that Rosalie was mad anxious about Bella giving birth. So things got crazy and wild in the Cullens house.

I do understand the Breaking Dawn book by Stefanie Meyer because the book isn't so complicated. I mean this book it is so detailed and it explains everything part by part.  So thats why it is hard to not understand the Breaking Dawn book. You just have to pay attention and imagine it.

I think it was important when it mentions that Bella was dying and that Jacob had to save her and her baby. Jacob wanted to kill her baby but out of no where he imprints on her. I think this is important because it shows a love between a werewolf and a vampire/ human. It is cute and weird at the same time.

Another question I had is how is Bella going to react as a newborn vampire? Will she kill humans? I ask this because jasper is a newborn vampire and he almost killed Bella in New Moon. So i am a bit curious on how Bella will react when she is immortal.

I am looking foward to reading the rest of the book I mean it is so eyecatching and dramatic and full of love. :]
