Cassandra's Reading Log Week 2

Reading Log Week 2

Date: 9/13/08 Title: Bridge to Terabitha Author: Katherine Paterson Pages: 41 - 128 Quote: "Your girl friend's dead, and Momma thought you were dead too." Page 102 "They found the Burke girl down in the creek this morning." "No," he said finding his voice. "Leslie wouldn't drown. She could swim real good." "That old rope you kids been swinging on broke." They think she musta hit her head on something when she fell." "No I don't believe you!" "You're lying to me!" Reaction: I would say the exact same words as Jess and I'd feel the same way too. I feel sorry for Jess because he just met a person who had something in common with himand they became really close. Now all of that is gone. Now he has Terabithia to himself.

**Date: 9/11/08 Title: Bridge to Terabithia Author: Katherine Paterson Pages: 1 - 40 Quote: "Do you know what we need?" Leslie called to him. Intoxicated as he was with the heavens, he couldn't imagine needing anything on earth. "We need a place," she said, "just for us . It would be so secret that we would never tell anyone in the whole world about it." Page 38

"It might be a whole secret country", she continued, " and you and I would be the rulers of it."... Leslie named their secret land "Terabithia," and she loaned Jess all her Narnia books, so he would know how things went in a magical  kingdom. Page 39/40

Reaction: Thats a good idea for Leslie and Jess to have a secret, magical kingdom just to themselves. It would make a great place to relax and have fun, just the two of them. It would also be great for Jess because he always has to do chores, he would get annoyed by his sisters, and he wouldn't even have privacy in his room( obviously he wouldn't have privacy there because he shares a room with this sister ). Now he will only have privacy in his magical kingdom with his new best friend. **

Date: 9/10/08 Title: Charlotte's Web Author: E.B. White Pages: 80 - 184 Quote: "I'm done for," she replied. "In a day or two I'll be dead. I haven't even strength enough to climb down into the crate. I doubt if I have enough silk in my spinnerets to lower me to the ground." Page 165

Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both. Page 184

Reaction: Its sad that Wilbur doesn't have Charlotte anymore because she died. She was his first friend ever since he moved to the Zuckerman's barn. Also, its a good thing that Wilbur NEVER forgot Charlotte, even though he loved her children and grandchildren, none of them would replace her in his heart. ♥ **
