The book that I am currently reading is Heart beat by Sharon Creech. So far, what I read has truly and extraordinarily inspired me to read on. Thus far, I have learned an abounding amount of things such as how Annie’s family, friend and social life have all begun to take turns in very different directions. Annie’s grandfather is beginning to forget all of the admirable times, her friend Max is taking a twist in his attitude and her mother is having a child or, as Annie thinks, an “alien baby” that gave her mom a “disease”. Presently, this book is turning out to being an inspirational, moving and creative book and I can’t wait to read on.
Thoughts:
So far, this book has undoubtedly brought upon abundant and bountiful thoughts, especially with the different form of writing it uses. Obviously, right when I began reading this book, I noticed that it was all written in poetry. Since I am a poet, I found much interest in the book instantaneously! I knew that it would be easy to connect with because I know, from prior knowledge, that poetry is a way to get all of your thoughts and feelings out. By previously knowing this, I instantly knew that by using poetry for a book, the author can add more than just detail to the story, but they can add feeling to it also! I immediately appreciated and understood that this book would definitely turn out to be much more than what I anticipated it to be.
More Thoughts:
However, I also felt strong about some things that happened so far in the story too. I noticed how independent and deep Annie was becoming. That came to mind because when Annie and her class had to write down what they feared and what they loved, Annie thought that her answers were different from the other kids. However, even though she thought that she did the assignment "incorrectly", she kept her answers. That truly tells me that she's not only becoming strong with herself, but that she is also noticing that she has to believe in herself and not pay attention to what the others are doing. Truthfully, with all of the extraordinary and immense happenings that are in her life currently, like her mother having a child, her friend Max and his mood-swings and her grandfather and his forgetfulness, I believe that she will just become more and more independent throughout the story.

You are doing a great job telling of your reactions to what you are reading, be sure to make sure that you are summarizing what you are reading also. I think you need to be aware of length of posts though.
