Test Readiness: Compare


                                             The Story So Far:
             
                  In these pass few pages Gwilanna has forced Lucy Pennykettle to wash the dishes, make dinner, and to try to grow more red hair. Lucy has changed throughout these few chapters she has grown red hair because she is a descendant of a little girl named Guinevere. Guinevere was a little girl who witnessed the last fire tear of the dragon Gawain. Anyway Lucy has discovered a hidden cave within the cave she is hiding. Lucy has discovered ancient bones of a girl and a polar bear. She thinks that the girl is Gwendolen and she thinks that the polar bear might the ancient leader of the polar bears which is Ragnar. Gwilanna disguises herself as a Oreo black raven so she can find out where Zanna is hidden. David tells a message to a black raven and sends the bird to the artic so Zanna can know how much David loves her.



                                          Comparison
           
                  One way I can compare the character's situation my life is that in the story David is worried about Zanna and last week I was worried about my mom's surgery. I took some prayers from home to school so I can pray every hour while my mom was in surgery. In the story David even passes out because he is so sad that Zanna has gone missing in the arctic. I was so happy that my mom got out from the surgery fine, while David was happy that he was able to send a message through a bird. In the story it kind of taught a moral which I think was an enemy can be turned into a friend. I think this because the black raven in which David sent the message through used to be his enemy in the first book of the series. At the end David and I both got satisfied because are problems went away except that David is still hasn't been able to rescue Zanna. This book kind of help to get more ready for reading test because I was able to make connections and comparisons with my life and the character situations.






                            More, More, and More Comparisons

               Another comparison I have with a character is with Elizabeth Pennykettle because she misses Lucy so much that she cleans her clothes and even makes her breakfast even though she isn't there. I kind of felt that way when my mom was in the hospital because I would go to room and sometimes I would even make two bowls of oatmeal in the morning. Henry Bacon and I both similar because we both like to read a lot of non-fiction books. We both like to go to  the library even though Henry Bacon has a library in his house. When I grow up I want to buy a big house so I can put a giant library and a fireplace. One of the libraries I like is the Estate house library because they have cozy chairs, a fireplace, and a large selection of books. I forgot to mention something the Estate is how the largest house in America is called.



This icicle cave represents where
Lucy is hidden and where she discovered the ancient bones of Gwendolen. This is the place where Gwilanna is forcing Lucy to work and do nothing but grow more red hair. This is the first time Lucy has encountered  a polar bear face to face. This is the first time I hear that a polar bear doesn't do anything to a human.

Jenna Kozak,
                       I've always wanted to read your book so I just had a quick question how many pages does "Little Chicago" have"? Jenna, does this book count for your 40 book challenge and what kind of genre is Little Chicago? I liked how you explained that the boy will do anything for the girl. The other thing I like is that you would put yourself in the author's shoes and you're even thinking about rewriting the story. Thanks for writing!

Carlos,

       Last week did you read the Order of the Phoenix? I saw the movie for half blood but I wanted to ask you does Voldemort have a large part in this book than the other books? My connection is that I've only read the first book in the Harry Potter series. I wonder why Voldemort has so much anger issues because he is so determined to destroy Harry Potter. I liked how you made a long explanation of the picture you put. Thanks for the info!

Emily,

    This week are you reading another short story from your book or is it still the same short story? One comment I had is that the girl in the story is basically a tomboy because she dresses like a boy. I liked how you put "I'm walking the walk and talking the talk" in your blog. My other comment is that I always like how you put so much information in your blog. My last question is what kind of genre is your short story book? Thank for your Recommendation!
