Post Title: What would I ask Rachel?
Title, Author: The Pact, By Jennifer Sturmaan
Pages: 100-105

I would want to ask Rachel how can she stay in a house with a murder. Although I understand that she wasn't allowed to leave town she should of been allowed to stay in a hotel for the rest of the weekend.I wouldn't be able to continue to stay in a house with a murder. But Rachel not only stay, but she also wants to be apart of the investigation teem putting her own life in danger trying to find out who the murder was. Being attacked and almost drowning should of been more than enough to tell her to get out, and out now.

I Know What You Did Last Summer By: Louis Duncan

I Know What You Did Last Summer, by Louis Duncan

This book is interesting, I wouldn't say that it is a nail bitter but it kind of is. There is a mystery of why Julie wants to move away from her mother. But there is other parts to the story that is mysterious. Things like: who wrote the letter, could it be one of her friends, does someone really know what she did last summer?

Julie seems to be an easily scared person, she seems to be jumpy alot. But there is something to be sad about. Her father died, she is the only one with her mother, and she is keeping her mother from being a full time home economics teacher. And now to be getting threatening letters in the mail, I would be scared too.

Now tell me, if there was a crazy maniac coming after you thinking you killed him, wouldn't you be petrified too?

The Client by John Grisham
Pgs.1-127

The book is very interesting. I was a little intimidated at first due to the amount of pages,but as the libarian said "Once you get into the book you'll fly right through it". My first impresions on the book so fas are great. The book immedently grasped my attention due to the character's attitude. The young boy named "Mark Sway" is an young boy with many burdens on his hands. His life so far isnt the ordanary "childhood" you expect a kid his age should have.He smokes, and uses foul language alot. He had an abusive father that didnt care, and a mother that was never home, so you cant blame him for not having a good rolemodle. All mark looks forward too is taking care of his mother and little brother Ricky.I feel that i can relate in some was to his attitude of the so called street life. He reminds of a kid that lived a cupple houses away. The most thing that attracts me to this book is that although he has many flaws, he still takes the iniative to take care of what little family he has.

Lois Duncan, i know what you did last summer

As you can see i am reading a book by lois duncan i know what you did last summer. To be honest i dont really read mysterys,I dont think there all that interesting but since my group picked it im stuck with it! When i started to read the book I was like this book is going to take me forever which it probally will.
The reason i took this book was because i have never seen the movie and evreyone tells me that it is a good movie and since I had to read a mystery i mine as well read the book of a movie i wanted to see. Well i started to read the book i got to the end of first chapter it was pretty good, this girl recieved a acepentece letter from a college but the next day she recieved a envolope the shape of a invition when she opened it she didt except it to say what it did she was scared. The note said in big letters I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER!
So far the little bit that i have read is have way decent. I like the characters in this book, they keep you juust waiting to know what happened and what is going to happen. so i have to wait till i read more to find out actually what that note was about!

So far what I think.......

Title: The Pact
Author: Jennifer Sturman

I have read and finished this novel called The Pact by Jennifer Sturman. The Pact falls into the mystery genre. So far my impression of this book is even the least likely person can be guilty.
For example throughout the novel I found that everyone had a possible motive to Richard. Richard was Emma's soon to be husband who no one liked. He wasn't a very nice person plus he didn't treat Emma very nice either. For the most part everyone had a good reason to get rid of him.
Matthew who is Emma's best friend and her mothers godson is a nice young man and is very much like the brother to Emma and all her friends, Matthew is also in love with Emma and he doesn't want him to marry Richard because he believed that Emma deserved someone better. Rachel who is also Emma's best friends one of the only female, investment banker in her company. When it comes to business Rachel doesn't like Richard because he stiffed her in a deal, but in the personal term Rachel doesn't like him because his disrespect toward her friend. When it comes to Emma's other friends Hilary and Luisa they have much more deeper reasons than others. Hilary dated Richard shortly after college and he dumped her which didn't sit in well with her. Luisa met Richard in college and he was really into her just as a lot of other guys were but, Richard put her in a different situation when he got her drunk one night and slipped something into her drink and raped her. Jane Emma other friend just don't like him because of the mistreatment of her friend. Lily Emma's mother seems to like him or does she really. Jacob Emma father really doesn't like Richard because he's just not enough for his only daughter and child. Peter, Richards only friend is just surprised that Richard even asked him to be his best man in the first place, because they haven't talked to each other in years. Plus Peter and Rachel seem to be attracted to each other.
Although Richard was found floating in the pool police believe that he may not have drown but my have been drugged by someone in the house. It's hard to solve this case because everyone has a reason to want him to be gone, not including Peter. Based on what you have read do you think that you would want him gone also?

Mystery

The Raven in our Ravens Nest represents the Raven of Edgar Allen Poe who was famous for his horror and Mystery story. Because of his famous mystery we choose mystery as our group genre. I think that many people who read mystery and worship it will agree that in mystery you'll never know what will happen next and this adds to the excitement that keeps mystery fans read and screaming for more. When your a mystery read you can find out if your a good detective or should you just stick to reading the page turning genre

Mike D. - 5/5 Responses

Mike, the last two responses kind of just summed up what you read.  I know you have to take a different approach, because it's a humorous book, but I need you to go deeper.  Any Seinfeldesque observations of your own?

Shantel - 5/5 Responses

Good responses Shantel.  Your last one gives good insight into that character's pattern of behavior.  Just make sure to proofread.  Capitalization and punctuation would be a good place to start.

Ayanna - 5/5 Responses

Great job Ayanna.  You've got a good handle on the theme, and the combination of your responses really shed insight into Annette's character and to your needs as a reader.  Great job.  Keep up the good work.  Cut out the sunflower seeds...lol.

Albona - 4/5 Responses

I like that last response (although, again...Nicholas Sparks?  How chicky can a writer get?)  Good look into theme. 

Mike M - 4/5 Responses

Mike, the last two responses are pretty dry and plot driven.  I need you to relate them to something or explore their significance.  Or use a response question.

Luis - 3/5 Responses

Luis, I read the drafts of your responses and I must tell you that I am very impressed.  I like the voice and I like the development and I like your confidence in your own opinions.  Nice job.  

How does the story The Da Vinci Code relate to my life.

To tell you the truth this story really d' relate to my life. My life has nothing to do with riddle, secrets, powerful organizations, etc... But maybe something about this book does relate to my life, probably is that every time the characters in this book, solve a problem or challenges, there's always another pops out of nowhere and stands in there way. That's how my life is , there always something that going on with me and when I think that I might have a break for once, I have it T' as hart for the next few mouths, but like the characters in the book I keep pushing on and trait to find new ways to solve my problem and challenges that I come upon in this crazy life of main. So what I have to tell to anyone that's reading this is to never give up, there's always I solution trust me, all you have to have is patience

The Plot in the story The Da Vinci Code

The plot in this story did really pull in, what I mean by that is that from the beginning of the story I always was interesting on what was going on in the story and I always wanted to know what was going on and what was going to happen next in the story. No wonder is one of the best selling books of last year. I also like that many things in this book have some truth to them. The book also teaches you to see things in a different perspectives. I like how that the book mikes you give the expression "I would off never thought about that" because of the way that they figure out the riddles. I learn a lot from this book, for example I learn that things are not always what they look like, or how one riddles can have so many different meanings or how can one symbols can have so many different definition or meanings to it. Sometimes I like to play main games with my self and tried to figure out the riddles or symbols that the main characters i in this story come upon in, for know I been pretty good at it and been able to solve most of them, but sometime there so complicated that I have no idea of how they did it. But all I have to say is that this book is rely going to leave you wanting more, and I strongly recommended.
