drama. – Weekly Reading Response Blog

1. Tell what like or dislike about the book and why.

i like this book it is funny because it explains about her life and how its like just like mine how stupid it is and the way it can be funny sometimes is that it makes you think a guy likes her but then he is gay. i dislike about the book is that sometimes it does not tell you something till the end of the book.

2. Tell about parts of your book that puzzled you or made you ask a question.

when the guys liked Callie but then he just stopped talking to her or when he kissed Callie and then after that did not wanna talk to her or wanna really be friends he totally forgot about it.

3. Tell what you noticed about the characters, such as what made them act as they did or how they changed.

Callie changed when she was with different people, when she was with the guy she liked she acted shy and weird and when she was with her friends she was funny and more out going. also with the twins they acted like they liked Callie but then the next day not then on and on.

4. Write about something in the book that surprised you or that you found interesting.

i found that when the twins were singing and making weird loving faces at each other that came out of no where. what also surprised me was when the guy that Callie liked, started to like her but then they kissed and they still hung out after that but totally ignored her the next day.

5. Write your predictions and about whether your predictions were right.

Bonnie will want to get back together with Greg and yes she did. they are going to let Callie use her ideas in the play, and yes they did. Callie is going to sign up for the play, i don’t know yet.
