 * April 23th

First of all, Dr. Maya talked about the skin colors of people of all around the world. She told us that all of us look different. And she said my friend and "I" are more alike than are unalike. I agree with her idea, because even if we have a different skin color, we don't really have any difference. I think she chose this title to make us perceive that humankind actually don't have any difference. (even if they have a different skin color) **

 * Number the stars**

Lois Lowrey wrote number the stars by getting an idea from her Danish friend. Lois began to get an idea of what it was like for her during World War II. Danish friend also told her how it felt like when Jewish families in her neighborhood started to disappearing. After Lois started writing, she saw that she would need to do a great deal of research for the story, so she went to Holocast Museum, which is in Denmark.

The main event of this story was when German soldiers came to Johansens apartment, they were looking for the Rosens. Johansen family told them that Rosens are in their home. Actually one of the Rosens were in Johansens house, and her name is Ellen who is best friend of Kirsti. The German soldiers observed the Johansen family's house.Luckily, Ellen took off her necklace quickly, so she didn't got caught by the German soldiers.

The setting of this story was Johansen family's house, which is the time that is having a war. The German Soldiers were looking for Rosens, and Ellen was in Johansen's house. This adds to the story because Ellen would've been caught, if she was not in their house. This house had a photos, that could be used as a evidence.

The main characters of this story was Annemarie, Kirsti, Ellen, and dad. I think all of them seems real and likable, because all of them acted bravely, kindly,and calmly. For example, Ellen is Danish Jew, and when German soldiers came to see her, she was kind of scared, but she had a calm attitude. Even if Annemarie was young, she behaved like a grown-up. Dad was a brave men, because he even lied to the German soldiers.

My favorite part of the story was when German soldiers came to their house and went into the children's room.There is a several reason why I like this part. The first reason is, because I was curious about the result.Second, It might be scary, if Ellen got caught by the soldiers. Fortunate thing is, they didn't know that Ellen was a Danish Jew.

Old Yeller**
 * April 14

When Fred Gipson was young, he worked on his family's farm in Mason Texas. When he started writing fiction, he used his Texas background to inspire his stories. Fred Gipson's most popular book was Old Yeller. He later wrote the screenplay for the movie based on the story.

Major event of the Old Yeller was When Arliss was holding onto the hind leg of a little black bear cub no bigger than a small coon. Little black bear cub screamed. But the problem was, the cub's mama bear came to save her baby, so Arliss was in trouble. Arliss's mom and his brother knew that his in trouble, so they ran to the river. Suddenely, old yeller came to save Arliss.Because old yeller hadn't let bear get close enugh, Travis didn't had to strike the bear with axe. Old yeller ran really fast that the bear couldn't chase him.

The setting was in the birdsong creek. It adds to the story, because its the place where all the major thing happened. Most of the story takes part there. For example, When Arliss was holding onto the hind leg of a little black bear cub, the mama bear was furious, and she tried to attack Arliss. Another setting was Arliss's house. That is the place where the family live. It adds to the story because after the attack they went inside their house.

The main characters are Travis, Arliss, mom, and old yeller. I think all of them seems real, but except for Travis and Arliss everyone is likable. First of all, Travis seems real, because when Arliss was in trouble, he ran to the birdsong creek, but I don't think he is likable, because at the first time, he didn't really liked old yeller. Second, Arliss seems real, because he sreams and cries a lot. For example, when he was almost attacked by the bear he screamed. I think he is unlikable because he always cries. Next character is mom. I think mom seems real, because she cares a lot about little Arliss. She is likable, because she is always worried about Little Arliss. Lastly, old yeller seems real, because he always protects his owner like the other dog. He is likable, because he is brave and protective.

My favorite part of the story is when the mama bear try to attack Little Arliss. This part is my favorite part, because this is the most important part of the story and my favorite character, old yeller comes out and save little Arliss. Another reason is, It is kind of cool when old yeller and the mama bear is having a fight. Eventually, this part is the most exciting and fun part.

 * Saving Shiloh**

Phyllis Nayor came across an abused dog was too frightened to even allow her to pet her. she couldn't get her out of her mind. So she did what writers usually do in that situation. She started a book. The real Shiloh is named Clover, and she ws adopted by friends of her in West Virginia.

The major event of the story was when Dara Lynn fell in to the water. After Dara Lynn fell in to the water, Shiloh jumped into the water. But the weird thing is that, Dara Lynn was holding a nearby branch, so he got out of the water. But Shiloh was still in the water. Now Shiloh was in danger. Now he is getting swept away by the river. Judd Travers jumped into the river to save Shiloh. Good thing is that he eventually saved Shiloh.

The setting of the story was river. That is the place where Dara Lynn fell down. This Setting adds to the story, because if they didn't go to the river, Dara Lynn wouldn't have fall down. Also, Shiloh wouldn't had to go after her. So river was the most important setting of the story.

This story's main character was Shiloh, Judd, Marty, and Dara Lynn. Almost all of them seems real. For example, like Shiloh. Almost all the dogs protects his/her owner. Shiloh tried to save Dara. And I do think that Shiloh is likable, because he could've died when he jumped into the river, but he jumped in. I don't think Judd seems real, because it is dangerous to jump into the river. So other people might call the police. Obviously, Judd is likable, because he tried to save his dog.

My favorite part of the story was when Shiloh jumped into the river. It is kind of fun, because he actually didn't have to go after Dara. Dara was rescued by people. But Shiloh just jumped in. Also, I liked the picture of that part. The picture shows us that he is ignoring Judd.
