This week, we switched up our SSR books and picked out new ones. My new book is Death Be Not Proud, by John Gunther. I already like this book so much more than my other one. It is about a boy named Johnny, who died of a brain tumor as a teenager. The story goes through Johnny's short-lived life and how he impacted those around him. I have not gotten very far into this book yet, but it is already intriguing and easier to understand than The God of Small Things. I think it was just very hard to keep up with and I did not understand any of the culture references in the book either. This book feels more like an actual story and is particularly interesting to me because I love anything having to do with medicine, since I want to go into nursing. We have also been working hard on our elements of literature presentations, which we will present next week. Our prezi is coming along very well and I think that Lydia and I know a lot about the literature pieces we read and will do well. It took us a while to close read all the stories for our elements of fiction, because some of them were really long. We also had to read them a couple times to pick out all the different elements that corresponded with structure and point of view. After that, we just had to put our presentation together, which is almost done. I really hope that we do not end up having to go on Thursday, because Lydia would have to present by herself since I will be on a field trip to Northwood with my Business Management class. xoxo, Gabby
