Grade 8 Independent Novel Study Journal Entries

When I choose a book to read, I read the back page as it is easy to read and it is like you are reading the summary of the novel.When we starts to read a book, it is exciting but when we get to the middle of it, we will feel bored.
The novel Getting The Girl by Susan Juby appealed to me because it sounds interesting especially when Mrs. Telfer introduce this book to the class. I read it because I think there is a lesson on this story like respecting the females and elders. As the novel begins, the main character and his friends were sitting on the bleachers eating their lunch. Then another character is talking about the crush of the main character. He asked the main character to go to date with her on Valentines' Day or a dance prom. At the beginning of this novel, I felt excitement and wonders what will happen at the next chapter.
When I read, I like to read about the character who is good at something, and like to go to adventure. He/She cares about everything and his/her friends and have manners and willing to help other people. A character that have a perserverance to reach his/her goals (not using short cuts); no matter happens, he/she will never give up reach his/her goals.
In a novel Word Nerd, the character I like is the main character because he was a cool and smart guy. His friends was helping him to defend himself from the bullies. I like him because he was very resourceful to get to the scramble tournament without his parents knowledge.
One thing I found interesting about the novel Percy Jackson and The Last Olympian is how the event was exciting and mysterious. The characters was amazing!! This series of Percy Jackson was about Kronos (the evil titan lord) trying to overthrow the Gods by building up an army. Percy must save the mountain of Olympian from this evil Titan lord. Kronos was not the only enemy of Percy, Percy and his friends and trying to stop Luke Callestan son of Hermes, who had befriended him to join Kronos. Finally, he and his friends defeated them.
Another novel that I read, is the novel A Wrinkle of Time. The ending from the story shows that the main character is in another dimension and she thinks her little brother needs help from the evil guy. She tells her father that she wants to go back to that dimension where her little brother was abandoned. The father said no but, the main character insists. The father had no choice but, he agree. She went there but, her little brother was still hypnotized, and beside him, there is a big brain trying to hypnotize her also, but she didn't. She saved her brother and went home safely. She change her attitude by saving her brother. I learned from this novel is always love your family members even your little brother/sister is naughty, we love them. And if they need help, we will do anything for them because we love them.

Ralph Del Rosario made a sign for our room. He made it in Drafting Tech Ed. He drew it first with a mastercam and then used a CNC machine to cut out the design. Thanks so much! We love it!

Sonnet
The Empire of Seth
The King of diamonds rule the empire
The Queen of diamonds sits on the left
In the land the noble Hearts tend the fire
The Spades may protect the empire of Seth
The Clubs may provide food for the empire
The Jack's of suits may rule the Clubs to work
The poorest Clubs are always force to wire
Spades are always loyal, and berserk
But in my scale, the cards are balance out
Cards make the time go faster than you thought
I make people get confuse, and they doubt
And some people may think, they know or caught
I shall increase my skills, and teach my friends
And I must keep some secrets at the end
