"The earth is speaking to us, but we can’t hear because of all the racket our senses are making. Sometimes we need to erase them, erase our senses. Then–maybe–the earth will touch us. The universe will speak. The stars will whisper."
~This quote reveals Stargirl's feelings towards humans and the earth.She's saying that the earth has its own way of communicating with us but us humans don't realize that or even notice it beacuse of what may be going on in our surroundings (Lives).So she says that we sometimes need to just sit down and just think about what is going on in our lives and to not let that interfer with what we need to do.And probably the day we do that we will understand what the earth is telling us and we will be more open minded to what's going on in the world.~
For my third independent reading book i'm going to read a book called StarGirl by Jerry Spinelli. I barely started reading this book and it seems really interesting. It is about a girl that everyone calls StarGirl. At school everyone is talking about her and she doesn't really seem to care or notice. She was the center of attention. A guy discribed her as not gorgeous but not ugly as any other girl you would see in school except she wore no make up and she had the biggest eyes ever. For now that's all i know about this girl and about this book.
My second independent reading book is called 13 going on to 30 by Christa Roberts. I am reading this book because it caught my attencion. It caught my attencion because of the title of it. In fact this book is a very interesting book. It is about a girl named Jenna and it was her 13 birthday and she invited the coolest people in her school and the coolest people in the school took advantage of it and told Jenna that they would go but they had to do a school project. So because Jenna really wanted them to go to her party she told them that she would do there school project so the cool kids took advantage of that. At the party they tricked Jenna and they left right after she gave them the school project Jenna felt really sad and disappointed and she kept on repeating i want to be thirty, flirty, and thriving then some of her wishing dust fell on top of her head and the next morning she was thirty and she was in shock and very confused. She went from being 13 to 30 in one day.
Well the highlights (good things) about reading this school year are that i learned new things by reading different types of books this school year. Also i learned new words and now i read more often then i use to.I also have a really good time reading some types of books. Well i dnt have a good time reading all the books ive read only sertain types of books and i actually enjoy reading the really interesting good books that are out there waiting to be read (: i also in a way get relaxed. Like theres highlights in reading books there are also lowlights (bad things) about reading a book. For examlpe if the book you are reading is pretty boring then that would make you not even wanna read it rite haha thats how i am. Also i can get pretty lazy when it comes to reading because i dnt really like reading. I guess that would be it for now. (:
