I am reading the book t he s ecret g arden.The little girl in the story is 9 - years old.She finds a secret garden and she also finds the key to the secret garden.She is very independent and nobody likes her at all.She is disagreeable looking (how do you look disagreeable?). She has no friends and is never a happy girl .She is also very thin and she is disliked a lot by a lot of people.She has a mom and a dad. This little girl doesent really ever want to be bothered. Everybody always leaves her behind or alone.Noone goes near her too.This little girl also has yellow hair.

The little girls name is Mary. Mary has a yellow face.She has a yellow face because she was born in india. She also had a illness when she was younger also when she was a baby .She was a sick baby and not a healthey baby.Mary had a mother that didn ' t care about her at all. All her mother liked to do was go to parties.She didn ' t even want m ary.She didn ' t even want a little girl. Mary had a servent and the mother gave m ary up to them, whitch were the Ayah .Mary wanted to learn how to learn and write.A young e nglish governess came to teah her how to read and write.

The young e nglish governess didn ' t like m ary at all .When m ary was a little baby, she was sick. She was always kept out of the way. Mary 's father was ill, too.He was always busy.He worked by (for?) the e nglish goverment, So there was nobody really to take care of m ary.She was on her own.She didn 't really have anybody to care of her.Mary was lonley but she didnt care.Mary was also very toddling looking. Mary was sick and unhealthey wheen she was growing up.

I didn ' t understand this book. It had a lot of shorten ed words.It was also cunfusing. I liked it a little bit.Not a lot.It didn 't stay on topic.This book had long words.The beginning on this book didn ' t make sense.It had words that they spoke and that i couldn 't read. I had to really look at it and try to figure it out. But it was to hard. I didn ' t get it.The shorten ed words were like in every sentence. I would take a long time to read.

=== Janelle, make sure you put a space after the period at the end of your sentences. Also, you need to start using apostrophes when you write contractions, for example, don't, didn't, can't wouldn't, couldn't, etc. I look forward to hearing what book you choose to read for your next entry. -Miss Bond ===

This boy also looked at his preestns that were under her bed. The boy likes to know what is going on.He likes to know what will happen next.He never gets to see his parents because they are always busy.Or they will be at work.The boy is also smart.

Then they found the exterminator who followed him out into the hallway. Then anje went to the next aparment. The boy was stuck in the hallway. The boy had nothing to do. The boy was on his way back into the bulding.He was getting cold.

The boy went to the loby to wait until 25minutes was over.The boy saw some deliveres on the long tables.Some we labled "dont open untill christmas".All the boy though about was the exterinator.The boy got bored so he went to take a walk around the block.Then he went back into the bulding.The boy went to the basment to get the christmas decorations.

The boy is getting more and more suspicious through out the book.the boy is very calm.But he worries.He thinks of things ahead of time.The boy is kind to everybody he meets.He is also getting more and more happy through out the book.The boy goes along with everything anje says.The boy is very agreeable.He will do any smart thing someone tells him to do.

My book is very interesting.This book is the right chooice for me.It has a lot of informatin and details.This book stays on topic.It explains wat is going to happen and wat is happening.I like it a lot.It gives information about the main charcters and the others.This book was the best choice for me.Different things happen though out the book and it tells what that is.


 * ENTRY 4**

So far in my book the boy goins downstairs.He went downstairs to get his christmas deorations.The boy found his box of christmas decorations #13.He went to open that box and there was a rat in it.The rat was long and had a long tail that loked like it had no hair on it.The rat was chewing on an angel the boy had had has his decoration in.The rat rat was standing oon its hind legs.

The rat ran off.The boy tried to run after it but the rat was way to fast.The boy went back to the loby.He ran into the exterinator (anje).The boy told anje about the rat.Anje didnt seem to happy.When the boy told him about the rat anje was very shocked and suprised.Anje told the boy to go back into the basment.He wantd him to go back into the basment because he wanted to see if the rat had came back.


 * So far the boy is very interesting.Sometimes he can get scared of certain little things.The boy likes to explore on his own.He is very brave.Sometimes he canget The boy likes to try different things and learn different things too.If the boy gets scared of something and he tries that certain thing out hes not scared anymore.Hes very intellegent.his doest look for someone to stay right by his side.He looks for someone to help him but not always be aroud him.

I really like this book so far. Its better than the book i was first reading. My book is really awsome so far too. It has a lot of desription. Also details..It also has good exclamation marks The exclamaition marks are where they are needed. They really bring out the ence. This book is really cool. It doesnt mess up anything. I'm really glad I choose this book.

ENTRY 5

So far im reading about when the boy goes back into the basement because Anje told him to. When the boy went back into the basment he was given a flashlight from Anje.The boy went down there cautiously. He looked around but still didn't see the rat. The boy turned aroud and there was the rat. The rat was standing on its hind legs again sitting on a shelf.

The boy wondered what the rat was doing. The rat was sniffing into the air. The boy went to put something down, but then the rat came right after the boy. The rat was chewing on the boys shoe lace. The boy didn't know what the rat was doing. He got scared. The boy was trying to get the rat off his shoe. The rat ran off into the dark. The boy went after the rat, but couldnt find the rat.

The boy in the book is curious about a lot of things.He is not that afraid of the rat. When the rat comes close to him he gets a little scared. The boy is very brave and at times he can get a little scared.The boy isn't afraid to really do anything. He likes to get things done with. Also, out of the way. The boy is very kind and genious. Also, he likes to help people.

I really like my book so far.Its very interesting.This book has a lot of good facts and opinions.This book uses good word in almost every sentence.My book is really cool.If i hadnt picked out this book.I would of been stuck with the other book. I like this book a lot better than the other one.Every time I put down the book I just can't wait to read more.

ENTRY 6

So far in my book i am reading about when the boy ran after the rat.Then the rat was running and then came to a dead end.Now that the rat to the dead end.The boy caught up to the rat.Just as he wanted to.The rat was not able to go anywhere.He was completly traped.He had no where to go.But then the rat distracted the boy by leaping over his shoe laces.But then the rat ran off.

The boy tried to stop the rat but he couldnt.The rat was to fast for the boy to capture him or get him. The lights were off.It was very dark for the boy so see.When the rat ran off the boy remembered he had the flashlight anje had given him.He got out the flashlight and he pointed it at the rat as the rat ran off.The rat ran off into the dark.The rat was no longer in sight.

The boy is very careful about what he does and how he does it.He always want to know if he is doing the right thing.So he checks or asks the exterminator before he does anything.The boy looks up to a lot of people like the exterminator.I think the boy trusts anje and knows he is making the right choice.I also think the boy want to be like the exterminator to.

My book so far is getting a little more confusing then how it was before.It first starts out with one thing.But then it goes off topic a little.Then it starts to talk about another topic.But other than that my book is great so far.This book seems to interest me a lot.I also like this book better than the one i had before this one.This book is the best book i could find.
