(pages Read 11)
My impreeions on my book holes is verygood. I think its a good book so far im really getting into it. It about a kid stanley going to a place called camp green lake. Stanley got sent to camp green lake for not being a good kid. The book give full detail about everything stanley dose.The story mostley tells about stanley life befor he gets sent to camp green lake. I think that its a good thing that stanley getting sent to the camp with kidse his own age because it shows kides not to do the wrong thing and to dothe right thing the frist time.

Group Blog Response

At first our group couldnt really decide on a genre. But after fighting for a little bit we decided to settle with mystery because it felt like a good topic. We think that people are drawn to mystery because of all the great mystery stories they read growing up. One example being "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. We believe that when people read mysteries ( just like with any genre) they allow themselves to escape reality for a little bit. The only thing different about mystery is that for a moment you become a detective and get the oppurtunity to solve a puzzling story as if it were your own.

Cory, I like the first sentence of your 2nd response.  You've got to go deeper.  How does the conflict affect the character?  Do you know anyone who has been through similar conflicts?  What does it say about human beings that these conflicts crop up?

Anthony - 1/5 Responses
Anthony, that was a pretty good response.  You see the problem though.  One response.  Your effort needs to improve.  Lollygag time is over.
