You Don't Know Me by David Klass, There so many reasons that I would like to reread this story. I wanted to reread this story from the start of this school year. I just couldn't find it i asked my last year Ela teacher she said someone had it already I looked in the library of my current Ela class no luck. Although i have many reasons of wanting to read this book i can only remember 3 and those 3 are.
One reason that i want to read this book is because I need to refresh and restart what happened in that epic story. I personally think that when i reread it helps me find more details and help me understand the settings, characters and conflicts. Rereading also helps me write more essays about the story. I reread almost all my books and it really does help me to understand more about the story and even help me right a more interesting, bold blog post.
The second reason i want to reread this story is because how drama filled the story was. I loovvvvve stories with so much drama and sadness. It makes me my emotions change rapidly. The more the drama the more i put myself in that situation, the more i put my self in the situation makes me feel bad for the character. But sometimes feeling for the character makes me feel terrible because of how easy i have and how hard they have it.
The last reason i want to reread the story is because it is a true story. I'm not sure why but when it comes to an interesting true story i will not hesitate to read it. Although memoirs can get very boring but this memoir never did! Well at least I did not remember any boring parts.
Therefore Rereading is a good way to understand more about the character, setting and conflict. These three reasons are the main reasons i would like to read You Don't Know Me by David Klass. I hope that i can find the book. I also hope that i will learn lots and more of what is in this story.

I have read I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore. There was a couple sentences that had lots of information but the one that was the most packed was on page 165 paragraph 1. "The First SnowFall comes two weeks later A slight dusting, just enough to cover the truck with a fine powder... we've worked everyday without fail, through the cold weather and the rain and now the snow." I feel like this sentence tells me alot about the Setting, the main character and Four.
The reason i feel that this loaded sentence was a beautiful way to explain the is because its very poetic. It explains the snow in a bright, calm, white, cold. When other books explain the setting its usually like: One morning in a hot day in the kitchen (BORINGGG). The way Pittacus Lore explains this setting is amazing it makes me actually feel what they feel and imagine my self where they are.It makes me want to bottle up this sentence in a jar and listen to it on and on and on like a new pop song.
The reason that i feel like this is a loaded sentence because it explains four. Four is a very teenage character which makes me and other people that are in the range of 10-15 relate to him, One thing we all have in common is we love snow! Four is not a person who has seen alot of snow. All the places he had moved to were hot dry places and this is his first experience with snow. What i think Pittacus is trying to do is make that sentence packed with beautiful, poetic words but at the same time make it a description that a teenager would say.Therefore the loaded sentence above^^ (In the blue) is a packed sentence that describes alot about the setting and the main character Four. The poetic and explanatory words describes the setting clearly and beautifully. The teenage like words and feeling helps me know that its Four who is seeing look at it and describing the winter snow. Honestly this is the most interesting sentence in the book. I feel like i have to reread the book for the second time to refresh and and find more details and interesting parts that i can write more about on my blogposts! :)

I have read Riley W's Blogpost called "What it is about Mr.Potter". This blogpost was about the book Harry potter. I have never read any read any Harry potter book but from reading Riley's post i felt that the series sounds very very interesting. I might even pick up a Harry potter when i'm finished with my book!
What i liked about this post was that Riley was how fun he made it. He joked around and he made it seem like he was having fun while typing the post. What i didn't like about Riley's post is he connected to his life to much. It was all Riley and no potter. I wished he just explained the story a little. I wish this because it would have helped me understand the book more and maybe even like it better.
I have never read any other post by Riley but from reading this i might just read all of them! This post reminded me of the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I'm not sure why it reminded me of that book but i was thinking that its because there these books are similar in a way. Both have to do with a boy that has magical powers, Need to save the world Blah, blah, blah that kind of stuff. What it also reminded me of was the movie harry potter. Which made me feel stupid because i have seen all the movies but not the books.
Riley's post about the book harry potter was engaging. I liked it. The post made me want to read the harry potter series and i might read it soon. There was some parts in the post i did not like and there were some parts that i did like. Most of the parts i did like, I liked the way it was written, I liked the way he connected the book with him self and i liked the way he mentioned our school. What i didn't like was he did not explain the story line of Harry Potter which i wanted to learn about.
