Book report

My book is about a plane that has cocaine in it and it crashes at the same time a windmill is vandalized. The setting of this book takes place in new mexico in a desert town. The time period is 1984. The conflict is that Jim Chee a detective who is trying to solve the case gets a lot of cold spots in the case.

A child called it

1. There was a little kid around 10 years old and his family loved him. Then when his day left to go to work his mom would make him to chores and not give him food until all the chores were done. Sometimes he only had 2 minutes to eat his food. His mom would beat him if he didn't do something right or tell anyone. He lives downstairs in the basement on a green cot. Soon later on in the book his mom threatens to kill him with a knife. It jabs right in his stomach and then she's nice to him somedays.

2. It was in his house all the time. It usually after school until he went to bed.

3. He has to do chores, His mom beats him, He goes to jail for a night so he doesn't get beat, His mom stabs him.

4. His son and him went back to the house and his son said it was his favorite place to me and he says me too. What made me pick out the book is everyone always reads it and it was pretty good.

Wow! I'm horrible at monitoring this blog :)

Well, I suppose since it's been over a month since our last posting, we should probably get at it again. It seems like we have so much other stuff to do that I put the blog as our last priority, but I do think it's a good way to talk about your books to the whole class and get ideas for other books you may be interested in.
For your posting by Friday, March 12, answer the following questions:
1. First of al, give a short summary of your book.
2. Where is the setting of your book? If there are multiple settings, list them all. Setting includes place and time period.
3. List the conflicts in your book. Who is having a problem(s) in your book?
4. Make a prediction about how you think your book will end. If you are reading non-fiction, explain why you chose to read about this person and/or event.
Thanks!
