My Connections

The book I am currently reading is called
Report to the Principal's Office by Jerry Spinelli. 

I like that in this book the principal is actually very jolly and happy. When a kid is sent to the principal’s office they have lunch with the principal instead of being shouted at -- which is what any other principal would do.

I relate to Salem {one of the main characters} the most because she is a writer just like me. Also because she talks a lot and is not that shy. I think she is a ‘different’ character that I have never seen before in another book. She reminds me of myself last year when I was in sixth grade.

I would recommend this book to a friend because it is a comedy book that will make you laugh. Up to where I have read I would give it an 8/10.
Mostly because I am a fan of books with humor. It also has some gross humor.  Like when Sunny Wyler flicks a booger at Eddie. These are some things that would gross you out if they happened to you but would probably make you laugh if you saw them happen to someone else (or maybe not).

My favorite quote in the book is probably when Salem says to an eighth grader: " I wouldn’t give you a carbuncle off my nose, if I had a carbuncle." I don't know what a carbuncle is and neither does anyone I know...but I think the word is funny.

Perspectives

Year of the Dog  by Grace Lin

The year of the dog is in first person. You can see that because the main character Pacy is sharing her and only her feelings. She is the narrorator. You can also tell the book is in  first person with lines like 'I through myself on the bed.' As you can see she used I and myself. But because in the book there are plenty of characters there is a part where Pacy's mom is telling the story which is confusing. There is also a lot of dialogue which can confuse you as well. Pacy shows most of her feelings when she is at school, at a red egg party and at a Taiwanese camp. She feels anger, embaresment, fear and joy in most of the story. I enjoy this book because it is in her perspective it gives more emotion and feeling to the story.
