This week we started reading October Sky. Before reading we watched 2 videos; one of the 1930s and the other on the 1950s. The book Of Mice and Men is placed in the 1930s and October Sky is placed in the 1950s. From watching the videos, I have learned that there was a lot of poverty in the 1930s. Life was happier in the 1950s with starting movies and music. After reading the first couple of chapters of October Sky, I started doing a traits chart on the different characters. I have learned that the mine workers are focused and determined on their work. Sonny is very imaginative. He has a lot of imagination and wants to build a rocket of his own. I have also learned that the people of Coalwood are caring and are close to each other. I am enjoying reading this book. I really want to know more about the relationships between Sonny and his family.
