The Breadwinner

I am currently reading the book The Breadwinner. In the book Afghanistan is at war with Taliban. During the war the women cannot go outside without a man with them. I f they are caught without outside without a man they can be arrested. What do you think of the rights that the women are being unprivelegded of? Also in the book Parvana and her mother get beaten by soldiers trying to rescue Parvana's dad from the prison he was taken to. Do you think it is right that Parvana and her mother are being beaten by the soldiers even though they not even supposed to be outside? I think that Afghanistan will pull through and win the war though, and the women will earn their rights to go outside as they choose.

Island

The book Island is interesting. Luke is the main charecter. The problem is that Luke gets sent to a prison boat for having a gun in his locker. My prediction is Luke and the other kids will get stuck on an island.

This book is about Parvana, a young girl in Afghanistan, which is a war torn country. One day soldiers burst into their home and arrest her father. I think that she is going to have to go undercover in order to save her father.

In the book Surviving the Applewhites the main characters names are Jake Semple and E.D. Applewhite. the problem of the book is that Jake is a foster kid and moves in with the Applewhites, but E.D. doesn't like him what so ever. She thinks hes going to ruin everything she has worked for because Jake is a mess and E.D. likes things to be organized. I think at the end of the book Jake and E.D. will become close friends and Jake will learn how to be organized and that E.D. will learn how to trust Jake with things and I think they will like share the same feelings at somethings and sometimes.

Blizzard's Wake

In my book Blizzaard's Wake by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor the main characters are Ezekiel Floyd Dexter and Kate Sterling. Ezekiel was in prison for three years and he's coming out. I think he is going back in very soon. I also think he is going to cause a problem for Kate. Kate is a girl that lives next to a criminal. She is a sophmore in school. She hates Zeke. That's what I think about my book.

The Zebra Wall

The book I am currently reading is The Zebra Wall by Kevin Henkes. The main characters are Adine, Bernice, Carla, Dot, Effie, Baby, Mr. and Mrs. Vorlob, and Aunt Irene. Adine's problem is that she does not like the aunt that is staying with them while her mother is recovering from her latest pregnancy. Adine also wanted a little sister but got a little brother instead. That means the bunch of "F" names that were on the 'fridge are going in the trash can. Now, the family doesn't know what to name the baby boy. My prediction is that they will start at the end of the alphabet since it's the boy and give him a interesting "Z" name. I also think that something bad will happen between Adine and Aunt Irene. What do you think will happen?
