Book Talk

    The book that I am reading is called The Distance Between Us by Kasie West. The book, The Distance Between Us is a humorous live story about a girl who has her lifelong disdain of the wealthy challenged by the son of a hotel mogul. Whose attention and loyalty almost convince her that being rich isn't a character flaw. Until she finds out that money is a bigger part of their relationship  than she realized it would be. The book is about a seventeen-year-old named Caymen Meyers learned that the rich are not to be trusted. She's been studying them from behind the register of her mom's porcelain-Dallas shop. But then one day enters Xander Spence, a tall, handsome, and oozing rich guy. Despite his charm he actually understand Caymen than anyone else she knows, but Caymen is smart enough to know that his interest won't last. But then Xander is starting to convince Caymen that money isn't all that as she expected it will be and she starts seeing the loyalty about him. “With so many obstacles standing in their way, can she close the distance between them?” Says Kasie West.

I chose to read this book because my favorite genre about books is fantasy, romantic, mysteries and this book has romance and it is a fantasy. It also teaches us a lesson that you can't judge people by how they act or look. The book, The Distance Between Us has a mystery in it cause Caymen is trying to find out who Alexander is and how he lives his life. Also Alexander is trying to figure out Caymen too. I would recommend this book to my cousin because she likes the same genres that I do. She also read the other books that were wrote by the same author, Kasie West.

Quarter 2 Reflections

          During second quarter, it was easier for me to do things because I am all ready used to the process of having homework every day. One of my classes that I had everyday is English language Arts. English Language Arts  was hard for me in the beginning and I had some trouble doing the IXL that we were supposed to do every week. But I have improved over the 1st quarter and 2nd. One of my biggest challenges is turning in homework early. I always turned my homework late but I can improve that in 2nd quarter.  Another challenge is doing my IXL. By improving this i will do the IXL right when I get home and not get distracted all of the time.

In English Language Arts we are doing a 20 book challenge. So far I have read 3 books, which are, Dead Is The New Black, by Marlene Perez. Also Choose your own Ever After (The Call of the Wild). Finally, On The Fence, by Kasie West, and The fill-In Boyfriend, by Kasie West. The one that i am reading right now is, The Distance Between Us, by Kasie West. Which is my favorite book so far in 2nd quarter. One of the book i want to read is, Shark Girl, by Kelly L. Bingham. I saw the movie of Shark Girl and now I want to read the novel.

My favorite thing we did in Quarter 2 is doing vocabulary. Doing vocabulary helped me because every week we learn new words and prefixes. We take tests every Friday and the class grades other students papers. Also, the prefixes help me learn me words with them. Another thing I liked about Quarter 2 is doing the 20 book challenge. The 20 book challenge helps me with my reading and I learn more and more about different books.
