Text to World - Dead End in Norvelt.

     The book I'm reading is called Dead End in Norvelt.  The Newsela article I want to relate it to is an article about the Kentucky school shooting .Dead End in Norvelt is a book about a boy named Jack on summer break. When he was playing with his fathers gun it accidentally Instead of being able to do his awesome over the summer plans, he was grounded for life. Although he's grounded he goes on scary, yet mysterious adventures.      I want to use the Kentucky school shooting article because in the article, and the book, guns were fired. Although a school shooting is a lot more serious, in both story's, someone or some people got hurt. In the story, Jack accidentally fires his fathers weapon and gets a bloody nose because of how hard the weapon fired back. In the school Shooting, a lot of people were hurt. School shootings are never something that anyone would like to talk about, and it is necessary to be happy that the suspect was caught.  ...

My book is about a kid named Luke who is an illegal third child. If the government finds out about him then they will kill him. Families are only allowed to have two children because was a food problem. In one of his neighbors house, and finally gets the guts to run over there. They are putting a rally together to try to get rid of the population law and don't want it to happen. This book can relate to something going on now. Today, we have rallies and protesting for people to get what they want. Last year we had the Red for Ed going on because teachers wanted to be payed more. In the end the teachers and schools got what they wanted. Sometimes people don't always get what they want. I wish the author would give more detail about the rally. The author doesn't give enough detail about a lot of things. It would really make the story better and flow better. It doesn't make the book bad, it just makes it so I have more questions. It just isn't as entertaining, but i...

text to world, A Crooked Kind of Perfect

The book I am reading is A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban. In my recent reading of the book Zoe, the main character, has expressed her love for the piano. Her parents would like to support her and buy a piano. Her dad got attracted buy shiny lights and loud music and instead of buying her a grand piano he bought her a cheap organ. She is very frustrated but is trying to make the most of it and has a very big competition  coming up. Her parents and her teacher think she will do amazing. The problem that Zoe did not get her grand piano and instead got a beat up organ is much like one of my favorite soccer stories in history. When Alex Morgan first started playing soccer she wanted a very nice pair of Nike cleats that she had been looking for a very long time. Instead she got a pair of Walmart cleats from her dad. She was very mad but she is still to this day one of the biggest legends in soccer. I love the way that even though Zoe did not get her grand piano she still em...

Text to World- Until Friday Night

I read the book Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines which is about a girl named Maggie and a boy named West who fell in love with each other.The two had so much going that they forgot how it was to be loved and how it was to be loved. They've been through so much together with West dad dying and them falling in love with each other. In the book the Maggie and West fell in love with each other and both of them battling their feelings for each other to make sure Brady doesn't get mad because West is his best friend. This happens to a ton people now and people now actually try and hid a lot more things from there families.This happens to a lot of people trying to keep such big secrets from there families so the families don't get mad. I love how the author played out the story line. The story line was great and i liked how everything played in the end and you can really image what happens. West and Maggie were really cute and they really made the book sound more alive. ...
