We were on our way to the colmado for an errand, a beer for my tio , when Rafa stood still and titled his head, as if listening to a massage I couldn't hear, something beamed in from afar.
this book is called Drown, bye Junot Dias. it is a collection of short stories about the same character yunior. i have read the first chapter ysreal. this book is about a dominican boy.
I think it is interesting book and it not so long and that's was one of the reasons why i chose to read this book for tis unit.

1. I have been reading all about self perception starting with the reader and
Sherman Alexie book, The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian. I really enjoy the

book because it was my first time to learn about Indians. Every thing in the book was
interesting. The book had some sense of humor. While reading the book we had to take few post- it notes that we used for class discussion. Then we did an essay about self perception. I'm doing great in this class and it is my first time to love ela class.

2. This class is indeed connect to we do in media literacy class with Mr. Justice. For Example in ELA class we did an essay about self perception and in media literacy we had to do a slide show of self perception and we are going to use part of the essay to read as the narration for our slide show. SO they are pretty much connected.
