Today I have read the book “keeper of the doves”. So far I have read have read a paragraph. It is mostly about a little girl named Bella. The first word her father said after she was born was “Another girl? Not another girl? Dont tell me I’ve got another daughter!”She didn’t remember. Only because she was only one minute old, way too little to remember.

It all started on a hot summer evening. On the year 1891, when a thunder could be hear as the storm rolled in from the west. Whenever her papa was upset his voice would get louder. He was getting upset on not knowing what should be his new daughter’s name should be. At first he thought of “Amen”. Then he remembers that they have got “Abigail! Augusta! Arabella! Annabelle!” he thinks that he used all of the beautiful “A “names so he thought he should name her a “B”.

She was born in 1891, as a fine, healthy girl. Yet here her dad did not want another girl he wanted a boy. In fact he didn’t want another child. She was going to be named amen. But she was not. She had a grandmother that loved when she was born .she had a mother that had a mad time giving birth to her.

This book is very fun to read.But sometimes hard to readsometimes. But when I read further into the book the words start to get I little bit harder.

4-25pages It is about the Bellas and Amie are playing a game. But amie didn’t know what they where doing. one of the bellas said "fee fi fo fum" one of the bellas sat at the table where we have their lesson.the other was disappearinginto the hallway. amie had to keep on asking “when is the game starting?”when do I know the game has started?” the bella said “when the game starts you will know. Then the door flung open. The bellla said “I am old man tominski and here I come!be ye black be ye blue! You’ll be both be for I’m through!” the bella stormed into the room.she smiled, and her grin was terrifying.she had blacked out her fount teeth with black paper.the effect was so starling that she could not move.the bella next to me ran to the closet. the stomping ws heading to her.the bella with amie yelled “run.” Amie ran so fast that her chair fell.the foot steps stoped at the closet door. (where they were hiding )the door flune open and the toothless bella fell with a roar.the bellas were laphoing but amie was afraid.

They wanted to play again .So the bella that was after us befor gave the other bella the black paper.the bella next tome was twiching with excitement. Then the other bella said “ fee fi fo fum.” The girls ran fast as they again .but befor she could say fee fi fo fum again she said “be ye black!be ye ” she couldn’t say the other color because a hand fell on her sholder .it was her dad looking not happy.their,he saved my life .” “girls sit down ,I was out hunting by myself,my father had told me never to do that ,but I disobeyed him. I was climing a fence when my gun shot me is the sholder. Mr. Tom was at the train tracks. He heard the gunshot and heard me yell and found me.carried me 3 miles home .if he didn’t I wold have died.all of us should owe it to mr. tominski.

This was mostly about the bellas .the are older then amie but still young .funny but helpful.then will get in troble once in a while but still have fun after they do .sometimes they try not to get in troble. They are still very greatful for what they have even when they mest it up. They are all ways cheerful

Chapter seven  In this chapter the bellas and amie would be waiting at the front step everytime their grandmama comes there.they try to be the first to see her .they even have a contest to see who see her first, the last ,the best ,even the worst.they always wore pinafores of white dotted swiss over paleblue dresses of lawn. They thought it,s name is even lovly. Their grandmother calles them white butterflys.they couldn’t wait for her.  This is how it became…she am not going to be sleeping downstairs. So we had gone into her bedroom for approval.She had us turn around,and as our skirts swirled about us. As we had been doing that she called us her white butterflys. “I see the bird on her hat,”they said.  the girls (the bellas and amie) are the main people in this play. They are funny like I said befor. But they always have contestwith each other. They tried to get the first to see her. The last person to see her .The best person the greet her. Even the worst.but they always have fun doing it. They never fight. Yet they always have a fun and happy time with their grandmother. This book is fun to read and I am not having hard time doing it.this is the kind of book if someone wants to read about a fiction book about someone’s life. Also I love reading this book because it is different then any other book. __ Entry 4 __ ** In chapter 8, Amen spilled papa’s ink while writing a poem. Her grandma was doing an impression of papa and how he was going to act. She wasn’t terrified but was giggling at her grandmother because she made a stern face. Then papa called “hands” from his study and checked her sister’s hands. They were clean. Then he called for Amen. Amen was now terrified and scared. When she was in his office he said “hands”. On her hands was black ink. He asked her why did you do it and you know you can’t come to my study. **

** She replied I was trying to write a poem. Papa asked” Can you read and write?” “Yes, I can” she answered. Papa looked astonished. She’s only a six year old girl. He then asked her how her poem went. She started to say it but papa interrupted her. “It doesn’t rhyme” papa told her. Then, she told him a doesn’t have to rhyme. Papa was so proud of her that he took her on her lap and started to write. At the end, Amen was really happy. **

** I dislike the character papa because one time he is happy and then he is mad. It’s like he has mood swings. Also, when the book described him I imagined him as the Grinch except without green fur. I also, think he should be nicer to his children then just yell at them. **

** I really enjoy reading this book. It’s so different from the other books I read. I just can’t stop reading these books. It’s like a magnet and I’m the metal. **
