persepolis

Today I started reading a new book called "Persepolis" it is a comic book. It is a good book. My favorite part so far is when they had to wear the hijab or the veil

where some of them were with good with it and others who think it is against their freedom.

and also when the man character wanted to be the new prophet. We also where discussing some sonnet poems and now we have to come up with our own sonnet poems that present on of the

problems we faced in our life. I got to say it I am not good with poem so this next unit is

going to be a little bit challenging.

An activity we did in class this week

We had a little discussion in class about the book" The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" and as group we came up with these.

What about the book you're reading now

This book is getting more and more interesting. I'm up to when junior left the reservation and went to white people high school (Readan). To the moment where that big fat boy named Roger walked up to him in a way of insulting or fighting and definitely not to be a friend with Junior. My favorite scene so far is when he was talking about Mr P, when he said"let me repeat that: MR. P SOMETIMES FORGET TO COME TO SCHOOL!.'' I only have been reading at school. Mostly in ElA class and Media Litercy class

I'm to lazy to read at home. I will finish this book by this monday.

Hey we have a new book

The new book is rock. It is so interesting and has a lot of humor in it. Mr. O assigned us to read 10 pages a day, but I may do 3o pages a day or more. the saddest moment I read so far is when Junior's dad shot the dog because they didn't have the money to take Oscar to the Doctor. At was reading the book " Girl from foreign country" It was somehow interesting and I can relate to it. By now I am so excited to read " The Absolutely True Dairy of a Part- Time Indian", the first two chapter were good. The funny part was when junior was describing how many teeth he has."First of all, I end up having forty-two teeth. The typical human has thirty-two, right? But I had forty- two.

Ten more than usual.

Ten more than normal.

Ten teeth past human.
