Catch A Killer - George Woods ( Chapter 31-38 )




In Chapters 31-38 it was a emotional ride for Andrew Morgan. Andrew Morgan went through alot in this book , he gets slapped , he gets kidnapped and tortured and now getting blamed. I find that they need to cut some slack I know he did some bad deeds but the stuff there putting on him needs to be a little more understanding. Also Andrew is weak from the torturing Craig Corso put him through. My opinion on that is that Corso had nothing againest him at all and it is stupid that he tortured him and then was being nice.

Catch A Killer - George Woods ( Chapter 21-30 )




In Chapters 21-30 there was lots of childhood memories coming back to Craig Corso. The main events happening in these chapters. They are trying to figure out who killed the two cops in the cellar, they are suspecting its Andrew.Also Andrew is getting tortured by the person who kidnapped him and that is very hard for him to put up with. My thoughts on that the main events are very emotional and tragic its very hard for Andrew's mom and the investigators to cope with what is happening. It's really interesting that how the story is going on and what is making me very anxious in how it's going to end. That is one of the best parts.

Catch A Killer - George Woods ( Chapter 11-20 )


In chapters 11-20 there was allot of things happening all at once. Two cops were murdered and they are all thinking its Andrew Morgan who killed them and Andrew got kidnapped. My thoughts on chapters 11-20 is that they jumped to conclusions to quick in the book , I found out weird that all of the sudden two cops got murdered and they are pointing the figure to Andrew and that Andrew got kidnapped I wanted the author to have more details about that and when was the exact place it all started. Those were my thoughts on chapter 11-20.

Catch A Killer - George Woods ( Chapter 1-10 )


In chapters 1-10 there was allot happening. A twelve year old Andrew Morgan one of the main characters. Had a horrible argument with his mother , which lead his mother to slap him and caused Andrew to runaway. My thoughts on that is that Andrew and his mother should of settled things differently in how they did. Also there was another event accuring in the main events. Craig Corso was at the time a innocent little boy but when he gets angry with his friends his friends get very scared and apoligize very sudden. Tommy Tutie was the one when him and Crag were 5 punched him for tipping his truck.Those were basically the main events and characters in chapters 1-10.

The Day Of The Triffids - John Wyndham




The story is about a big rupture happening and it is not pretty at all. It seems like a Wednesday starting like Sunday when it all happened. He knew things were awry. No one showed up and not in site. May 8 was an occasion at particular personal importance. He doesn't really care if it shows. He asked himself why does the traffic stop in the middle of the time. It gets odd each time in the chapter. He wants to get drunk and be crazy the main character said. He could see things other people can't see.





The interest that got me was that all the sudden it jumped to conclusions to fast and it went to one big drama that was amazing how it all started. I also find very cool that he could see things other people can't see. It seems like this book is like a mystery .




What did not interest me was that they did not even introduce the character in the beginning of the book. They should introduce the character first then they should go on. I wasn't really interested in this book at all.


I wouldn't want to finish this book because its very long and it doesn't introduce the characters and also doesn't really make sense in the beginning. They should of introduced the person it was good but it needed to make a little more fun in it.












The Wild Children - Felice Holman


The story is about a boy named Alex people are starting to disappear. He finds out his parents are gone. He has no one to live with. Alex is homeless. He likes this girl Katriana. Katriana is his teacher who is trying to help him , and try to find his parents. Katriana said that the new government will want the students to think particular. Alex listens to his dad whatever he says. He's going to go live with his uncle in a upper town of Russia. He is homeless and has no where to go but his uncles.

The interest that got me was that everyone is getting missing in where he is and that his teacher is helping him out. That is a very generous teacher who is willing to sacrifice her generosity to Alex.

The part that I'm not interested that it jumped to conclusions right away that they did not describe anything well at all. It needs to describe more of the theory that's happening in the story. I think they should of first talked about the parents disappearing and they should of described Alex more better.
I could see myself reading this book because this book was very good and I liked how the author made it kind of wanted it to be a to be continued chapter. It was such a good chapter I would read the whole book if we were allowed to.

Catch A Killer - George Woods



This book is about a 12 year old boy named Andrew. He wants to have fun in his life but can't because his mom is over protective and doesn't want him to get hurt even if he wants to go to his friends house. His dad died and his mom never been the same since she's stressing out allot and she is very strict and needs help raising her only child. Andrew's mom slapped him , for talking back to her and he was so mad and left the house in anger. He ran away from home and his mother was yelling running out of the house and was telling him to come back here right now he was just ignoring her and walked away. He was thinking about his life and what was happening in the situation. Andrew wanted to test his love for his mom , he wanted to stay out until his mom was looking for him. But I don't think it will work , she will probably give up on me searching everywhere for him. Also he went to his friends and he didn't really want to go after the fight him and his mom had. So the chapter ended with him about to go to the club.


I was interested that how the book started it started off as a conversation then started the story. It's very sad that how it's all starting off but it gets interesting in how it goes on. I really want to know what happends next with Andrew and his mom.


I wasn't interested in the last chpater we had to read. It wasn't interesting. It did not really interest me it wasnt as thrilling as the first chapter to me. I also did not like the part when his mom slapped him for that reason its very rude and mean it should've not of happend.


I could see myself reading this book because I really like going on to different books like this one. I really liked it. I hope we get to read it some more and get more into it.

The Chrysalids - John Wyndham




This book is about a boy who had dreams about the city when he was little.David is the main character he's very abnormal. He thinks about devils half the time and he thinks threats are going to happen to him. His friend Sophie is very vulnerable and she doesn't really live the life was wants to. Sophie is different from other people. Sophie has six toes which isn't normal in the book. Sophie's mom doesn't want David to tell anyone that he visited her house. David is assuming that god hates Sophie just because she has six toes. Which doesn't really make sense. When David went home his family is very religious.They had religious sayings on the wall such as " only the image of god is man" and also watch thou for the mutant! There was other religious things in the house.



The interest that got me was that the theme in the story was very different , and interesting at the same time. To me I never read anything like that before its actually different from all the book we have to read.



What didn't interest me was that Sophie had six toes and nobody talked to her and she doesn't really get out of the house just for that reason. It's pretty stupid to me that is the only reason why. With god hating her for its not true its just very weird.



No , I can't see me reading the rest of the book because I wasn't really interested in the topic. I am not really a big fan of fantasy and science fiction books, and the 2 chapters I read wasn't really interesting.
