Give the title, author, publisher, copyright date, genre (how do you know the genre - from the back of the book, the title page, the text?), a description of the cover of the book, and the main character(s) you have met so far and on what page you first met them.For the last Quarter of my 8th grade year i have been reading my class book named Sounder by. William H.Armstrong published by William H.Armstrong copyrigth (c) in 1969.
I think that the genre of this book is realistic fiction. I know that this book is realistic fiction because its telling me about how it use to be back in the days, and i also know this because my teacher told me. I on because I could really tell that this book is realistic fiction because of the author notes he does a really good job by letting me know what the genre is.
The cover of this book is not very interesting to me but the cover doesn't matter because the first page of this book could really grave you as a reader , it have very interesting things that you would probably want to know about. The cover isn't interesting but thats just the pitcher because i don't thing that a dog and a black kid on a cover is interesting but what is interesting is the Newbury modal.
The mine characters of this book are "the boy" thats what he is known by the book i know this because on page three it says "the boy said" and thats all it names him by. "Sounder" i know that he is one of the other mine characters because on ever page it talks about him.
I would be a recommender i recommend this book to anyone that would be interested of knowing how the life of people were back then.
Pollo,
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job with answering the question for this! I like how you talk about how you are able to determine what the genre is by how the book talks about "back in the day" but I also wonder if you really know who the publisher is because I don't think that the author would publish his own book.
I also like how you talk about how not to judge a book by the cover, how it's not interesting but that the book has interesting things.
Next steps: Make sure that you are answering all of the parts of the question. You forgot to put on what pages you met the main character. Also, make sure that you are spell checking before you post! "I" is a proper noun. It needs to be capitalized.

P.S. If you are going to be recommending a book to someone, talk about what makes the book interesting aside from "life back then" because, really, back when?? Give specifics and examples. :)
