He tries to talk to other friends in his class, try to play with them and also he try to help his friends when they got struck or need help. He always helps his friends but actually they don’t like Dennis anyway, but he still keeps doing this action to his friends.He don’t mind to do this because he thought that if he keep doing this action his friends will act o him like normal.

"HERO" #2

Now a kid name Dennis Leeper, he knows that Jamie, and Jerry doesn’t want to work with him. He feels really sad, and when he got back home he ask his mother that why no one don’t want to work and play with him but his mother doesn’t answer anything. So now Dennis was wonder about two things that why all of his friends don’t want to play with and also the other thing is why his mother doesn’t tell him that what happen to him. He cry everyday but his mother still don’t tell him anything but she always said that don’t thing too much son, thing will be get better soon.This makes him think that what he will do next to make his friends change their mind to act with him like normal.

While I am reading this I still predict that what happen to this kid? Why his mother doesn’t want him to know? And I also wonder how he going to make his friends change their mind? The strategies that I used to help me are before I read I predict first that while I am reading I try to find the answer about what I have predicted and I also try to read slowly to make sure that I understand what I have read .

"HERO" by Ron Woods #1

Now I have reading a new book called “Hero” by Ron Woods. This book is for my reading respond. The first chapter is about a kid that name is Dennis Leeper, he is boy, and he is a kid that other avoids him. But one day at school he has to do a raft project with one girl and one boy name Jamie, and Jerry but both of them don’t want to work with him but they can’t say any word.

While I have reading this story it remind me of my old friends that first he don’t have anyone that want to work with him so he feel sad but no one care him. In my opinion I think that everyone want someone to care he or she. This chapter makes me a bit sad because I wonder why his friends don’t want to work with him, what he has done or what wrong with him.

All the Years of Her Life... By Morley Callaghan

I have reading a story call “All the Year of her Life” by Morley Callaghan. I think that Alfred, a boy in the story, is a bad boy because in the story tell that he had stolen a lipstick and at least two tubes of toothpaste in your pockets and he did this many times already but he still act that nothing happen and he didn’t do it but actually he did it many times already because in the story said that Mr. Carr was quick to answer, "So now you think you’ll tell me a lie, eh? What kind of fool do I look like? I don't know what goes on in my own store, eh? I tell you, you've been doing this for a long time." So this can show that Alfred had done stolen thing many times already so that is why Mr. Carr can tell. And when Mr. Carr, Alfred’s boss, called his mother to come to listen what his son did and that makes her mother feel sad.

While I have reading this story I used a reading strategy liked for example “Mrs. Higgins lifted the teacup her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old” so I try to picture of how her lips moved nervously, this make me feel like I am in the story. Another example “Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. Maybe she would be crying and would push him away when he tried to explain to her. She would make him feel so small. Yet, he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called in a policeman. Alfred and Mr. Carr waited but said nothing. At last they heard someone at the closed door. Mr. Carr opened it and said, "Come in, Mrs. Higgins." His face was hard and serious.” First I predict that her mother will come with an angry feeling but it is opposite.

"The Enchanted Garden"

I am reading the book called "The Enchanted Garden" which was written by Italo Calvino. Our class had discuss about this story and one of my friend “Pueng” said that may be the theme of this story is about life that is not easy. No matter what you are rich or poor, most of them will not have a perfect life. Same as in this story the two children; they don’t have a perfect life. They have play in the garden called The Enchanted Garden but they were not happy to play in this garden because they afraid that other people will see them and catch them.

While I have reading this story I used a reading strategy to help me to understand the story like for example some paragraph I don’t understand what is it about so I re-read the paragraph again and also read it slowly to make sure that I understand right like example in the story “they found themselves in the corner of the garden, on all fours in a flower bed, with their full of dry leaves and moss.”

Fover Angels Katie's Angel #8

This chapter Katie is not going to school because she has to go to a cemetery for her parent. She was crying a lot when she went there. She want to see her parents so much she want to spend time with them again but that cant happen anymore. She wants to do a good thing to her mother because when her mother was alive she doesn’t do good thing to her mom.

I think she is kind of a sad thing to hear that daughter doesn’t like her mother. Sometime I didn’t do a good thing to my mother like some time when she tell me to do thing but sometime I said “why I have to do” in bad voice. But now I think that she want me to do may be because of some reason. So I think we should love our parents very much because they also love you too.
