<Begin with a freewrite about your book. Write non-stop about your book. What have you been thinking about your book since you read last?>

Submitted by xzhou on Mon, 11/09/2009 - 4:02pm.

     Kira kira this book is very interesting. this whole book is basic tell about the japanese immigrants' lives.  katie's family when her parents close their Asian foods grocery store in Iowa and move to chesterfield in Georgia. Uncle Kutuhisa helps them live in a small apartment, and they began save money for long time for purchase this house. working conditions are bad, even terribly, but the people are optimistic, they support one to another to be more brave.but when Katie is ten, and Lynn is fourteen, Lynn is ill and died. even though Lynn is died, but katie remember the special way of lynn look at this world forever.
     I am depressed, but i am also be hoped toward this world, because even though the person who near me died, the world is not end, the person may took his or her own hopeness to go to the heaven. this story also tells me that we should have hopeness towards our future, do not fell nothing to do in this world, so kira kira, this name also means hope  for future. i like "always something glittering kira kira in the future."
     I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book because it was interested me to look at it, and i want to know the results. it is probably happened when lynn died, her family was very depressed and whole family began to fall.

 

Ever since I saw the movie

Submitted by tmonteiro on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 3:56pm.

Ever since I saw the movie New Moon a lot has been on my mind. Lol. I mean I read the book before I saw the movie and I understood the movie better because I read the book. I mean when I read New Moon the only part in the book that confused me was when Bella and Edward and Alice were with the Volturi in Italy. Hehe. But the movie made it clear.

I did enjoy New Moon by Stefanie Meyer I mean she is a gifted author. I love the series of her books. I am looking foward to reading more. In New Moon Bella hung out with Jacob a lot when Edward left her I mean I didn't expect that at all. I expected Bella to kill herself.

Bella sometimes reminds me of me. I mean I made a lot of mistakes and I am a klutz and I am always getting hurt. I also hated when I had to leave my ex to go to Brazil. But I did the same thing Bella did I tried to get my mind off him and have fun.

I have loved and still love NEW MOON I love the movie even more. Because I get to see sexy Taylor Launtner. :]
