Blog Post #2 Favorite Reading Responses

     One of my favorite reading responses is by Helen Albornoz. Helen did a response on the book Before We Were Free by Julia Alvarez.  The reason why i liked her response, was because she told the readers only the important parts of the story. She didn't go into all the details, she only wrote down the important ones. Also when Helen wrote the problems that Anita had, she gave her opinion. She told the readers that Anita would get through that problem because Anita is strong, and she promised herself she wouldn't cry. Helen made the book seem very interesting, and i now want to read the book.

    

      My second favorite reading response is by Romiya Siddique. Romiya wrote a response on the book Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass. Romiya wrote about how the 3 main characters in the book were different. She mentioned that Ally is a type of girl who doesn't care about what others think about her. She could do anything without worrying what the people would say about her. Another character is the opposite of her. Bree, she only cared about boys and her appearance. the 3rd main character is named Jack. Jack has a very low self esteem in himself. In Romiya's response, she said that she can relate to jack. I like how she actually relates to someone in the book, and mentions it in the response.Relating to a character in your book is a good thing, because it shows that you could actually understand how the person is feeling.
