Final Thoughts

I thougt we did pretty good with our group work but we sometimes got early fast and didnt know what to talk about. I think that probably brougt our grade down a little. I really loved this book because everybody including me could relate to Tyler and her charater. I picked this book because I thought A, would be to my reading standards and B, really interesting from when Mr.Dunn read the back of the book. I think he should continue to do this because this is way better than just doing a paper everyday we do reading!

T/S Tyler said ” I closed my eyes and promised myself not to read anything I wouldn’t want someday my daughter reading about me.” I would have said the same-thing, I would be eager to read but not. I picked this because this is a way that we connect.

T/S When Tyler said that her mom had found her Papa at the age of 25, my mom found my step-dad when she was around that age. I picked this because it was a personal experience but it wasn’t my real dad.

Skinny/ In chapter 13, where did Tyler find those papers that she was reading about her mom?

Thick/ What do you think the “Anabaptists” is in chapter 13. I think this word has something to do with the Amish or religious people.
