J- Great Maddy how are you?
M- Great, I just have some questions for you...
J- Sure thing!

The best thing about the color of water- English 1

The best thing about the Color of Water,

 I really like this book because it gives a great messages, I love how it shows that everyone is equal... Whenever we talk about this book in class there is always something to discuss and that shows that a book is really good. I love how they go from the mom's perspective to the sons.

Best seller- Blog post #4 adapting book 2

Breakfast at Tiffanys-

KEEP-
Holy eating breakfast outside of Tiffany's because she was upset... This scene talk about how whenever holly is upset/ stressed she goes and get a coffee and her breakfast, goes to tiffany's and eats it there while looking though the windows at the jewelry. I think the director should keep this because the book is called breakfast at tiffany's but she doesn't eat breakfast much there... Well she only eats it once there.

Holly talking about getting paid for going to visit the convict for 100 dollars a week. This scene was about Holly talking about her life and how she doesn't do anything with her life... she calls her cat "cat" and she thinks that there is no point to give it a name...

Holy is having people and she get out of the sower, walks out and see's OJ and Paul in the room talking about her, she walks up to them puts Cat down and then OJ kicks the cat while talking bad about Holly and being very rude...

DISCARD-

When Holly and harry are talking and he calls her baby, he likes her a lot and always asks for her to let him inside because he is a very likable guy but Holly is constantly rejecting him and saying no... After he constantly is calling her baby and telling her that he is a likable person but really he is not, he's kind of creepy and pushy.

A character that I would take out of the book, is this girl that came down to Holy's room and started talking about her drunk husband... Holly doesn't like many people in fact she would rather live by herself with out a cat and with out a man but this girl came and did nothing to Holly and didn't change Holly at all just annoyed her.

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
