How did the author bulid suspese in this book- English

The author built suspense in this book by really not knowing or having any idea what was going to come next.... almost getting caught.

What i plan to read next- English 1

I plan to read Breakfast At Tiffany's as my next book, the reason I am going to do this book is because I love reading older books. I also love the movie so much, it's so cute. I feel as if I read this book I will fall in love with it even more. I really want to see if the book is any different than the movie...

Letter to the author- English class

Dear Ms. Donoghue,
Your book, Room was amazing, I love it so much! You are a fantastic author and I love the dialogue you use. When I started reading this book I thought oh this is slow and they're going to have someone find them and escape but it was so much more than that. I love it so much. It makes me really think of how sick people in this world are. You really have inspired me to read more and I love that. Thank you so much!
Your biggest fan of Room,
Maddy Recker

Post 3: book 1 project, best sellers

Wednesday, September 10, 2014

These long-awaited collectibles are in stores near you! These crayons are here to make you remember the colors of things in “Room.” They’re related by Violet: being the color of the blanket on the bed that they slept with every night, Red: being the color of the wardrobe that Jack slept in every night so Old Nick wouldn’t see him, White: The color of the sink that Ma and Jack used every day, Orange: being the color of the table that they would eat off of and sometimes move on to the bed to do their physical education every day, Yellow: being the color of Jack’s toothbrush that e used every night before he went to bed and every morning he woke up, Blue: The skylight that jack and Ma saw but never thought it was actually real, Indigo: The color of the walls that Old Nick has painted to make them “sound proof”, Green: The color of the rug that Ma had baby Jack on about 5 years ago.

                In Room, Ma talks about how she never asked Old Nick to buy Jack markers or Play-Doh because it dries out so instead she asked for pencils and crayons otherwise she would have to keep asking week, after week. “’You never got Play-Doh for one of your Sunday treats?’ he asks. ‘It dries out.’ That’s Ma butting in. ‘Ever thing of that? Even if you put it back in the tub, like, religiously, after a while it starts going leathery.’ ‘I guess it would.’ Says Dr. Clay. ‘That’s the same reason I asked for crayons and pencils, not markers or cloth diapers, and- whatever would last, so I wouldn’t have to ask a week later.’” The reason I chose these colors to do for the crayons because when Jack was explaining the room that Old Nick had locked them in. When jack was explaining room though the book he didn’t quite know how because he has never been to school, never taken a class, more been taught what he needs to know to be at an average five year olds English. As jack explains Room he does a really good with color because he has never left that his whole life, he sees those colors every day, he knows what they are and what they are not.

                This idea of making the crayons the color of things in Room is going to work because a lot of little kids use crayons and pencils so when parents see that they are selling things like this with popular colors on them they want to see what the book is about and when you start reading this books it’s almost like you can’t stop and if you can’t stop then your friends are going to notice you are reading the book and they are going to want to read it too. My idea of the crayons is going to net attention by giving examples of the book and people thinking “Oh, what is this book about, it looks really good!” My idea encourages people that already have read the book and love it, can use the crayons when they need them, can get them for presents and little kids that need crayons, but also can just keep them as a collectable, it shows a good part of this book and shows that being in Room is really hard on not just MA but also jack. By doing this it could also get someone who may want to do it to someone to show how hard it is on the children and how cruel it is.

Post 2- What is a book- Best sellers

Some people say books are fanatic and some say books are stupid, but as I sit here, not knowing what a book really is, a bundle of pages wouldn't leave my head... Now someone may say, it’s a bundle of good and joyful pages and some may say it’s a bundle of pages that have boring words on them... When you don't know what a book is about, if it’s good, or if you'll even like it you still read it. Maybe you have a reason on why you want to read it, maybe you don't but you read it anyway. You may end up loving it, you may end up hating it... In the end you still read it, it might be magical and it might be stupid, but good job you finished a book. Some books are so bad you just can’t finish them but that's alright because you tried but you always could end up loving the book to pieces, for example I started reading Room by Emma Donoghue and everyone said it was good but disturbing and sad, I am still reading it, even though I'm not completely done with it, what I have read is absolutely amazing, Emma is great writer. Ever just look at a book and think "oh that covers cool, I'm going to read it" but end up totally hating it? Yeah that's because you judged it by its cover, do you hate someone because of what you see or hear about them? That's the exact same thing... All I’m saying right now is, books are great, and they can really bring out something in someone that no one has seen before. Have you ever done something and think, this really makes me happy or this really makes me feel like myself? That's exactly how some people feel about reading. Now before you go and judge your next person or in this case, book make sure you see what is on the inside because you may end up loving that true inside meaning of that book.

Why i chose this book- English

I chose the book Room by Emma Donoghue because, I look mysteries and suspense kind of books. I have also heard great things about it. I wasn't sure what to expect and wasn't sure if I was going to like it because it I've heard it is kind of disturbing and scary... Because so many people had good reviews I thought I might try it. I am about half way though this books and I just don't want to put it down!!
