My Impression by: Rodney Rainey

So far,this book makes me want to write a book myself because it some how relates to my life.I remember those days when I lost somebody important in my life like for instance my grandmother on my dad's side that I never got the opportunity to meet.Soon hope to see her very soon when my time is up.This was how Joe felt when he was driving southward down to the sunrise near the beach where he would see other people having a good time.I felt just like him missing very important people in life that I loved and adored all my that inspired me.At first,my impression was ok but then I read the paragraph in chapter three that explains how he missed his wife and daughters,I just wanted to stop reading the book because that reminded me of the day I heard that my grandmother passed away.Have you ever felt this way about any close to you that passed away?

Getting it on

The Bachman books,by Stephen Kings
pgs 1-170

This book is a collection of 4 Stephen Kings early novels. He published these books under the psuedonym of Richard Bachman.The 4 stories the book contains are called "RAGE","THE LONG WALK","ROADWORK"and "THE RUNNING MAN".My impression of the book so far is a good one. I have read "RAGE" and the author delivers a well balanced amount of suspense thoughout the story with his main character Charlie Denver . A high school senior in a small town of Placerville. Charlie is a unique boy who has ... what can I say ? alot of bottled up aggression ! . Charlie is an extremley intresting specimen and soon after he takes his first murder victim(Mrs.Underwood his school teacher shot in the head inside of her classroom ....)he calmly takes the class hostage ,after announcing to the cheif of police that they were to remain out or he would take another victim(even though he tells his peers he wouldnt harm anyone) he begins slowly sharing his secrets with his peers. Gradually telling them about his dramatic chilhood that is considerably the fuel for the fire that is burning in Placerville High. He explains how his life was with his abusive war veteran father and how he was more his moters child and his father despised him for that.The awkward feelings and emotions of Charlie and his peers create an extremley sensitive setting for a group discussion wich occured students telling about their personal experiences with there teaher lying in cold blood on the floor !

horror

I think these genre is a good genre cause i never read a book on horror and idk if i am going to get scared like i do when i watch a movies. i think that these wel work my imagine very good and i think i would read more scary books in the future .My group members like these genre to cause first its is not a boring genre cause who ever read scary stories like them unless u a girl no envice ladys and it kinda make u wonder on how u going to get scared throw reading a story on scary things so these exicted me and all my groups members be back to tell u more .

Horror by: Rodney Rainey

My definition of horror is like when scary things happen for no reason.In most scary movies or stories the characters would make the wrong decisions.This genre shows acton and mystery and that is the type of books I read often.I am glad that we picked this genre because it really makes me more interested in reading more books.

Soul Survivor by: Dean Koontz Pages Read:17

One thing that I can say about this book is that the more I read it, it feels as if I was there. Joe Carpenter is a man with determination that was involved in a plane crash that was claimed to have three hundred people killed with no survivers.I think that this book has a good impression on me because it shows much detail and can be never forgotten.I like people that are determined to figure out and solve problems even though they don't have alot of evidence.This reminds me of a day when I was walking to the basketball court in the Delaware Park.I was shooting around and a 35 year old man that was 6 foot 6 asked can he play me one-on-one.I was very determined to win and I knew not to ever give up.With time flying by,I had these thoughts in my head the so much that I played hard and won the game.What skills do you have that would make you a survivor?

Point of View

The story is told in many ways .The first way i recongized was the third person, she talks about her self dicussing when she was younger and worker for the lady she apperantly killed . The second view i recongized was the second person , when she would tell stories about others in the past .Also at the same time she is being investagated by the two detectives .Furhter reading will open more point of views, till then?

Dolores Claiborne

Dolores is a old lady is the book . she a crazy old lady. so far she is being investagated by two people , one is well known to her. she is being investagated about a murder . the person who was murderd was the person that Dolores worked for. she and old lady too. She does not say she murders her, but confesses about her husband being killed by her. She tells stories about the past. According to her she was driven crazy. She kept talking about how her husband was so terrible of being a husband.

characteristic

The characters were decribed very well .I got to know each character good enought too tell you what there personallity.Most of the characters i would not get along with,mainly because they are all punks that desever what they got .the only character i would be friends with would be the main character . she is a city girl thats smart,stays out of trouble.



By Gerald Bucino

Horror

We picked horror for a reason . We are interested in the things that happen in the horror , the killing , the scared ,the unexplained . we read for the heart pumping rush, the adrenaline rush.
Horror makes us what to keep reading to see what will happen to whom ever is involved with.

Motivation

The main character is a girl name julia she is motivated because she is going too her home town soon. her cousins friends are being killed by the kid the try to burn alive. she was speared by the kid one point in the story. she was trying too stop the madness. she is trying too find him to talk to him, to try to make him stop killing.

T...good job completing your work, but take my advice.  Avoid plot summary.  Stick to the questions.

Rodney, nice job finishing your work.  This next project I want you to focus on developing your thoughts.  Way too skimpy.  

SETTING

THE SETTING OF THE BOOK IS IN VENICE , ITALY .THE AUTHOR GIVES A VERY DETAILED DISRCIPTION ABOUT THE SURROUNDINGS IN THE CITY. IT GIVES YOU A FEEL OF A FANTASY WORLD DISCRIBING STATUES OF WINGED LIONS AND MERMAID SCULPTURES AMONG THE GONDOLA RIDES .THE STORY IS ALSO SET IN A MORE HISTORIC INE PERIOD WICH GIVES THE BOOK EVEN MORE OF AN EDGE TO ME . THE BOOK KEEPS PULLING ME DEEPER INTO THE CITY WITH EACH CHAPTER . THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK PROSPER AND BO ACTUALLY ONLY VISIT VENICE BECAUSE OF THE STORIES THERE MOTHER TELLS THEM WHEN THEY ARE YOUNGER

The Right Decision

the five characters in the this book made a bad decision.The night they all got drunk,and burn down the old hunting cabin with some one in.the they decided too not tell anybody,and hope this would just pass by.Fortuallay he was not dead.he is taking revenage in his own hands.one character has already been shot in his garage.the decision they make are catching up too them fast.I would have not made there decisions,i would had too tell somebody. the police would be my first choice.in this case the right decisions are matter of life or death. I always make the right choice.

Gerry .B

The plot of the story made me keep reading. It kept me inerested in what was going to happen next in the story. The plot is a thriller. It keeps me thinking about the next events that occured in the story. each chapter in the story grabs a hold of you and makes you keep going until you become satified with what you wanted to read, and so far i cant put my book down.

These book is very interesting because it kind of relate to real life. It talks about how people become super stars and every body think there life is all gud until they understand whats go on behind laugh and smile . for example dillon have problems at home with his parents. and that real some people have problem with there family and they are superstar in other people eyes . so i hope by the end of these book everything come out gud because its realer as the book goes on .

Fifth Response By: Rodney Rainey

In the story so far,things get more serious and dramatic.Everybody starts to settle down and live their new lives.If their was a chance that I had I would make teir lives more better and acceptable.The characters would live rich with little financial problems and sometimes things would go wrong at home.It would be better if I was the author of the story because the story would have much humor and detail.There would also be sad and romantic moments that would lead to good futures for the characters in the story.

terrell book chris crutcher by chinese handcuffs

so far the book is talkin a girl now who had switch to a different school and she is one of the best beketball player in the state and senth the city they come is very small prese is all over it and they ask the coach waz she going to be the key player to the game and the coach said no there are more than just one player on the team so if she focused her team around one person then the other team will notice that and that wouldnt be right and fare for the others players . the prese said more than likely she going to have to work her she is the best in the state .

So far the book has been very good. the characters are very believable the thing that happens is the group of teenage kids get drunk and burn a kid alive in a old hunting cabin. This could happen any where too any boddy.You probably can predict there next move, i will tell you what happens next . The groups of kids decide not to tell anyone, they even threaten the one girl who trying too stop the madness.she was not from around there ,she was a cousin of the one girl in the group .I will make a list of characters later on a different post.This book would never relate too me, because i would never get drunk in the woods and burn some one alive.this book could relate to someone else crazy enought too this.I dont know how long these kids are gonna keep this thing a secret, because this book is named "back from the dead".
