This week we wrote and finished a comparative analysis for the books October Sky and Of Mice and Men. While writing that essay I've learned that friendships can encourage us. Considering Sonny and Quentin from October Sky. I learned that if you have a friend that believes in you, you will be able to believe in yourself and follow your dreams. I also learned from Of Mice and Men that friendships can be a range of different personalities and qualities. Lennie and George were very different from each other, but they still cared for each other. Towards the end of this week we started to look into the characters of A Raisin in the Sun. I am going to read the character of Ruth. We haven't started reading the play yet, but from reading the introduction and background information I think I will enjoy it.

This week we read more of October Sky and I am almost finish with reading it.(I am on chapter 21.) We worked more on the Character traits chart. The character traits chart has really helped me understand each of the main characters in the book. I have learned that Sonny was determined to get Calculus as a class in his school. Even though he didn't get into the class, he was still determined to learn on his own. I also learned that the mine workers are being more supportive of the Rocket boys. Mr. Ferro has helped make some rockets for the boys. The character traits chart is going to be a big help for me when I have to start writing the essay on Relationships serve many Purposes. My chart is now 2 pages full of notes on different characters, so I will be ready to write the essay. This book has been very interesting for me. While some may not like the book, I really like it. The book continues to draw my attention with more appealing things happening. |
