Mr. McGuire said: Why do you read? The reason I read is because reading relaxes me and it makes me feel good about myself. I usually read entertainment, information and sometimes magazines. Most of the time I read because I feel I just need a good book to read. If your like me you're always getting caught up in reading, especially if it is a great book. Every time I want to learn something new or I am doing a project for school I always get on the internet and look it up. Whenever I think about it the internet is not the best place to go. A informational book is the best place to go because it is full of all kinds of information and the internet may just have information on what people think, not what is true. Also when I read I want to read in a nice quit place because I feel when I read in a nice quit place I can picture all the action, drama and mystery. When I read a book I feel like all my worries and all my surroundings just disappear or go away too. Books to me are just an amazing adventure of life. That keep you wondering and excited. I like to read in the car. Every time we go somewhere I try to make sure I have a book in the car. When I read a book in the car I feel like it makes time fly by. Also when I read in the car I feel like the movement of the car makes me more into the book and it relaxes my brain to read more and grow my vocabulary. I feel like the more I read the stronger I become at school skills and at life skills. No matter what I read it always relaxes me and makes me feel good about myself. I think everyone should read because I think it will help them at everything they do. That is why I read. Good job Tatum!!!! I love your post because it is so detailed!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

I read for entertainment. Reading helps me relax. I can't just sit and not have a book in my hands. I'm always reading things. I read on the bus in the car everywhere. If it's not a good book I abandon the book I don't waist my time on it. If I can't relate the character to me between the first two chapters normally that's not the book for me. Good books you can put your self as the character. I can sit and read a book for an hour or more if it's the kind of book that you can put you self as the character.
I'm always checking things on the internet and researching words I don't know the meaning to. If my parents or someone tells me a fraise that I don't know what it means I get on Google and look it up. I'm always looking up places to visit and reading about them. I'm also always looking up things that could happen to my Mom when she is going through Chemo. Reading is really enjoying. I love to read. I read all kinds of things to scary stuff to funny stuff.
Reading is amazing!
Kaylee I love your writing!! I agree, reading does help me to relax. Sometimes reading just takes me into another world!!!! When that happens I know that it is a good book!!!!!!! Anyway keep up the good work!!!

I am reading the book The Secret Of The Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I think someone should read the book because it has a bunch of twists and turns that you do not expect to happen!!!!!!!! It is a mystery book about Nancy Drew and her detective friends. One great example from the book is Nancy headed straight for the building and drove in. The next moment she heard a piercing scream!!!! That part made me want to keep on reading and find out what will happen next!!!! Another great example from the book is ''they've left me here to starve!'' She thought frantically!!! I couldn't wait to read more!!!!! I think what makes this book special is there is none out there like it!!!!! If you like mysteries then you will love this book!!!!!!!! It sounds like a good book I might read it. Thanks, you would really like the book !!!

I read for a lot of reasons. I read mostly for entertainment! I love to read mystery books a lot because it feels like I am in the story!!! I also read for information. I read a lot of sports articles in the paper to see how all the sports teams did that night . I am a really big sports fan if you already didn't know that!!! Whenever I read I feel that I am in a totally different world!!!!!! I also read for better knowledge in English class!!! I feel that when I read, I get a better understanding of different words!!!!! I have always read a lot of books and I think that I will always continue to read in the future!

My book is Password To Larkspur Lane. The main character is Nancy Drew. Nancy Drew is an 18 year old detective.
Nancy Drew is a lot like me because she is great at figuring things out! Another thing me and Nancy have in common is we both are very caring people and put others before ourselves!!!!
In the beginning of The Password To Larkspur Lane Hannah Gruen and Nancy Drew are outside picking flowers when suddenly a plane looks like it is getting ready to crash and a wounded pigeon comes crashing to the ground!!! Nancy went racing to the wounded pigeon and started caring for it. That is exactly what I would do!! I know I am a pet lover and I think Nancy is too!!!!!
Another thing me and Nancy have in common is we both love helping people with their problems they may have!!!!!! One more thing me and Nancy have in common is we both love mysteries!!!!!
I think that I will grow up to be just like Nancy Drew!!!!!

The book I am reading is called Hideout by Gordon Korman. The Main Character is like me because he is independent and VERY VERY determined!!! He and his friends got rid of this mean guy by the name of S. Wendell Palomino, A.K.A. Swindle. Swindle got ran out of town, and left his dog behind at a shelter! An animal lover (like me!) rescued the poor dog! It was the dog's birthday when Swindle returned!Swindle claimed his dog and said HE was the rightful owner! The pound lost the paper's to show that Swindle DID abandon his dog! The main character (Griffin) would NOT stand for this!!! He HAD to do something!!! Griffin and his friends left that instant and try hard to get Luthor (Luthor is the dog!) back! Griffin Is like me because he loves animals and is determined that what he wants WILL happen!!! (Not like the spoiled brat kind of way!) He loves to help and is a nice kid! And that is how the main character in my book is like me!!! Mckenzie I love your writing!!!! I am a total animal lover too!!!! I cannot wait until you do another post!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!

In the book Game Changer the main character is KT Sutton. KT Sutton and I are alike because....... We both play softball and have the same attitude. KT Sutton plays softball like I do. Well she got hurt really bad where she couldn't play any more. KT Sutton was so mad so upset that she couldn't concentrate when she was in the hospital, because she knew she wouldn't be able to play softball. I would be so worried to if i couldn't play. Softball is my life basically, because I play 24-seven. I always practice have games like on the back of my softball shirt it says "there's no place like home" you know like home plate. Well later KT Sutton is having a hard time not playing. Being so hurt can't concentrate I wouldn't be happy if I got hurt and had to miss a year of softball. Later on KT Sutton starts having the best attitude around I would do the exact same. Just keep a good attitude and go with the flow. Lexi I love your writing!!! I would feel really bad if I let my softball team down because I had an injury and I'm sure you would feel the same too!!!! Anyway I love your writing and I cannot wait until you do another post!!!!!

The main character from my book is like me because she is crazy. Always getting into trouble. Talking back. Having attitude. Yelling at her little brother. Well Amamda has a little brother like me that she is always yelling at. The only thing that we don't have in conman is that my parents are not together like hers. Amanda is always driving her mom crazy to go to friends house or have someone stay with her. That is what i'm always doing. I'm always bugging my mom if someone can stay the night with me. We also both have a really big mouth! Amanda and I both are not a girly girl! But we still both like to go out and have fun with our friends. Amanda and I are not exactly the same but we don't have all things in conman. Kaylee I love your writing!!! I love how your writing is detailed!!! I cannot wait until you do another post!!!!!!

The Nancy Drew books are an old series, but they are a good one. The mysteries in them really keep you thinking and wondering. I can see how you would be like Nancy, especially after reading your example. Good Job! Thanks for the comment. I do love the Nancy Drew series. I am going to keep reading the series and hopefully finish the series before the school year is over. Tatum I absolutely love your writing. I love how it is so detailed!!!! I cannot wait to see more of your writing!! Keep up the good work!!!!

My favorite color is blue. I have always loved blue for as long as I can remember but I'm not sure why it is my favorite. There are a lot of blue things that I like. I like the ocean the best. My family and I took a Caribbean cruise over the summer and I could not believe how blue the ocean was!!!! It was the brightest blue I have ever seen!!!! I think the blue skies always put you in a good mood!!! Sure beats a dark, gloomy day. I think the color blue makes me happy!!!!!!!!!
