This month I read a book called The summer I turned pretty, by Jenny Han.

This story is about a 15-year-old girl named Isabel, but her nickname which everyone calls is Belly, Belly loves summers and she would spend every summer in cousins with her mom, her mom‘s best friend, Susannah who has cancer and her sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Belly has had a crush on Conrad since she was ten, and Jeremiah was just her buddy. But since she meets Cam, Cameron, The only boy who pays attention to her, she falls in love with him, But she knows her heart belongs to Conrad.

I like this book so much because in some chapters, it is kind of funny and happy but in other chapters, it is emotional and sad.

My favorite character from this book is a Belly, her character trait is emotional, “Your the only boy I’ve ever thought about my whole life, it’s always been you. You taught me how to dance, You came out and got me the time I swim out too far. Do you remember that? You stayed with me and you pushed me back to shore, and the whole time, You kept saying, ‘we’re almost there,’ and I believed it. I believe it because you were the one who was saying it, and I believed everything you said. Compared to you, everyone else is saltines, even Cam. And I hate saltines. You know that. You know everything about me, even this, Which is that I really love you.”

My favorite quote from this book is “ Susannah was always calling us children, but the thing was, I didn’t even mind. Normally, I would. But the way Susannah said it, it didn’t seem like a bad thing, not like we were small and babyish. Instead, it sounded like we had our whole lives in front of us.” This quote is meaningful to me because it shows how Belly likes Susannah’s personality and she wouldn’t mind if she called them children because she knew she didn’t mean it in a bad way.

There are so many people I would want to invite to dinner, but these are my top three: my friends, Angelina, Christina and Gabby.
I would choose my friends because we don’t get to hang out a lot after school so it’ll be fun to hang out and talk. Also after dinner we might play a game like Uno, or Monopoly.

These are the three people who I would choose. Who would you choose to invite to a dinner?

I have been told I am to be the principal of my school for the day.

If I could be the principal for the day I would let us have more breaks and no lunch. We would have period one and two then break, period three and four then break, period five and six and seven then we would go home. I would also let the eight graders to have three electives instead of two and core would be only one period for them. Also I would make more field trips for all the grades, like a field trip to nuts berry farm and other fun places.

My dream job is being a teacher.

I would like to be a kindergarten or a first-grade teacher, because I like work with little kids and help them learn the alphabet, how to write and spell. Also being a teacher is nice because you get the summer off of work and also you get thanksgiving break, winter break and spring break. The other reason why I would like to be a teacher is because you get to spend your time with kids and bring back your childhood.

A magician has made me inviable for twenty-four hours, and the possibilities are endless when you are invisible.

If I was invisible for twenty-four hours I would do so many things, like helping people when they need help because I want to be kind to people. Also I will be able to travel places I have never been, because I am adventures and like to travel.  Then if I was ever hungry at night I would be able to sneak to the kitchen at nights and have a snack like ice cream and cookies because I am not allowed to eat sweet too much.

This month I read a book called Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. I have not finished reading this book yet; I am on page 105.

This book is about a 12 year-old boy who’s name is Roy, he goes to the trace middle school in Coconut Cove. one of the bullies at trace middle school is Dana Matherson. The bully Dana always bullies him in the bus after school, but one day he stands up to Dana and breaks his nose. Roy is used to being the new kid because his family had to move because of his dad’s job. He also follows the strange boy with no shoes nor a backpack, and he finds out that he is beatrice’s (the other bully‘s brother).

My favorite character from this book is Roy. What I like about his personality is that he is adventurous. This quote proves his character trait. “… Roy slipped out of the back door. He wheeled his bicycle from the garage and rode off.”  This shows that Roy is Adventurous, He left the house and went to find out about the strange boy.

My favorite quote from this book is ‘“Beatrice,” he began, “ I’ve got no idea why you’re mad about what happened on the bus. You’re not the one who got choked and you’re not the one who got punched. So I’m only going to say this once: If I did something to upset you, I’m Sorry. It wasn’t on purpose.”’ This quote is meaningful to me because Roy is standing up for himself against another bully named Beatrice, and it is kind of funny because Roy smiles through the whole thing and acts like Beatrice isn’t a bully.

I have been stuck on an abandoned island.

This island is a tropical island. I have gotten here by a boat while I exploring the sea. I have started to build a hut out of the wood and the leaves I have found. My daily routine is to wake up and wash my face, eat some coconut for breakfast. Then I would start to catch fish for lunch and dinner. Once i have catch some fish I would continue on building my hut. After that I would lay down on the shade of the coconut tree and relax while listening the sound of the waves created by the sea. When it’s finally time for lunch, I would start a fire with using two sticks and start to cook my fish after that I will eat lunch. Then I will  swim in the sea. then I would relax in the shade. When it’s time for dinner I would again cook my fish and eat then I would go in the hut to sleep.

This month I read a book called Hoot by Carl Hiaasen, I have not finished reading this book yet; I am currently on page sixty-four.

This book is about a middle school boy named Roy Eberhardt. His family has lived almost everywhere and he is used to being the new kid, and he has experienced every type of bullies, and if Dana, the bully hadn’t pushed Roy’s head and face against the buses window, Roy would’ve never saw the strange boy who was strangely running away From the school bus who had no shoes nor a backpack, this seems like a mystery to Roy. What will happen next? Will Roy become friends with the strange kid? I cannot wait to find out.

I like this book because it is full of mystery and twists, and it is also funny in a way.

My Hobbies are Sketching and scrapbooking.

I like sketching because I get to express myself and try new things by sketching. I have gotten a new sketch book on Tuesday and I need ideas to draw.

I also like scrapbooking because it’s so fun to do and you can get out of your comfort zone and try new things also its a good way to use your imagination and reuse your scrap paper that you don’t need.

These were my hobbies, I would enjoy hearing about your’s.

Dumbledore said the following quote “We must all face the choices between what is right and what is easy.” What this quote means to me is that the right way isn’t always easy, the right way might be hard. And you have a choice between the two. This can connect to me in real life because there are times in life where there is an easy way but there is also a right way.
