The Best Book Ever

This is the best book ever.

I Am Number Four By Pittacus Lore

Amazing, fantastic, and suspenseful are some words you you can use to describe this book! This was one of the best books I have ever read! Might not think this book is for you? Think again! This book offers many different genres such as action, suspense, and romance. For all you guys and girls out there that like suspense, this book will keep you up all night and even sneaking the book under your desk during class when your not supposed to be reading. This book also contains romance and action. Romance + action= Raction! Kind of like The Hunger Games, this book can keep up a fast pace with a lot of fighting but also has time for some kissing scenes. I must say that John Smith, the main character, and Sarah Hart, his girlfriend, make a very good couple and it completes the book. I think this book has something for everyone! It truly is out of this world! Also, check out the movie coming out 2/18/11 and the next book, The Power of Six, coming out 8/23/11!

This week in english class we learned about different kinds of poems and literary terms. Some of the different kinds of terms we learned were anaphora, assonance, diction, enjambment, hyperbole, rhyme scheme, slant rhyme, stanza, allusion, and onomatopoeia.

English Class January 3rd through 7th

This week in English Class we started with a BANG! (bang is an example of onamonapia)
The week began with a poetry intro. Then we took some notes on literary terms, and we found the terms in different examples of poetry. Finally the week ended with some practice for our EXPLORE TEST. Now we are all prepared for what ever that test can dish out!

This week in Mrs. Nickows seccond period class, we read scenes out of the book A Raisin in the Sun. The picture to the left shows characters Ruth and Walter in the kitchen. Walter looks confused about the paper in his hand and Ruth looks worried.
