I finished the book

Today we finished the book me and my partner were reading (Drown). We think the book  was confusing because I used to get lost while reading the book. Sometimes the author got flash backs and sometimes I lose who is speaking. I read in ELA class, at lunch and a little bit at home
Tomorrow we are going to start working on the essay and start brain storming thesis statements that we are going to use when writing our essay.
 If I was going to to write a sequel o my book, the first scene will be Yunior, the main character of the book sitting with his family all together before they got separated, or when his dad left them and moved to the United States. Or may be a scene of him and his dad playing together cut to shot of him saying bye to his dady in the airport.

Where I am so far in the book Drown

The word that describe the book I'm reading is confusing. the reason is that the main character or the author of the book have some flashback about his life in DR. when he in the U.S and that's confuse me and sometimes i got lost. but when me and my partner have a meeting or a discussing about the book i understand much better and  beside that she's been helping with with the Spanish words in the book.
I read when I'm bored. I read in class and during lunch. i don't read at home, because I have other stuff to keep me busy. I am where i suppose to be in the book which mean I am not behind even though my partner is a head of me in the reading. My favorite seen so far is when Yunior and Rafa imaging how their dad would look like when he comes back from the united states. and the way he would greet each one of them Yunior, Rafa, Grandpa, and their mom. The Activities we been doing in class is reading and take notes, and ask questions, basically analyzing the book.
