1. This novel has taught me a lot of different things. I would say the biggest one is to never give up and cherish moments with the ones you love and never take it for granted. Adrienne struggles with lots of life problems like dealing with relationships with all her peers. She ends up finding the one she loves at a time she never thought she would. She was very happy until things went downhill.
ReplyDelete2. This year English 4B was a lot about being independent. I really enjoyed that and I think that is super important for the future. Usually 4 out of the 5 days was of us reading or writing in our journal. The one day was our group discussion which was nice to interact with peers, because that will also be important throughout life.
The message of your book is very inspiring and we should be reminded to cherish the moments and memories that we have with our loved ones, just like my book. Charlie has to remember to cherish his loved ones more, which in the end he learned to do.
Deletesounds good maybe i should read it.
DeleteThis sounds like a very memorable book. I agree that you should never take moments with loved ones for granted.
DeleteYour book sounds like a very good book, and that is such a good message to take away.
DeleteThose are very good lessons, I also agree that you should never take moments with family and loved ones for granted. Sounds like an interesting book to read.
DeleteYour book sounds really good I might have to add it to my list of books to read!
DeleteThis book sounds a lot like my book. There are a lot of the same themes as American Sniper.
DeleteI read the book "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman. The message she left me with is cherish the good times you can with your family and friends. You don't know when your last time seeing or talking to someone. I really enjoyed reading this book because it kept me on the tip of my toes. Mia would always be so close to just letting go and there would be something to keep her from letting go. The ending of my book was not the way I was expecting. When I look back at this book I'm going to remember everything about the car crash and hoping when I grow up and have a family I will never have a situation like that. In English 4B, I learned how to work with people I didn't think I would be able to work with. Also I have learned if I'm told to read and know I have to get something done, I have to get it done. I actually really enjoy reading and reading used to be one of my worst nightmares.
ReplyDeleteOur books were very similar because of the way our main characters got to chose if they stayed or got to go. The message sounds very strong and worth reading about. The movie was extremely good as well.
DeleteMy book also has a car accident scene in it, and I could not ever imagine having to deal with something like that. I could only imagine how heartbreaking that would be.
DeleteI would have to say the same about my book. Cherishing all the times you have with the ones you love is so important. You never know what could happen. Your book sounds interesting and I will have to read it.
DeleteThis class also taught me to like reading a little more and I am so glad it did.
DeleteI didn't hate reading before but this class made me open my eyes, I always thought no book could make me want to read it again, until now. I enjoy it a lot.
DeleteI read Charlie St. Cloud, and the lessons I learned in this book are do not take your loved ones for granted because you never know when the last time together will be or if you will never see them again. In the book, Charlie loses his brother Charlie in an awful accident that left a hole in his heart. Thirteen years later, Charlie has visited and practically lived at the cemetery when one day Tess Carroll stumbled along him and instantly they both felt a spark. Later on after there first date they both had extremely strong feelings for each other and both fell in love with each other. Shortly after that Tess went missing and was later found in a deep coma. Charlie could not lose another one that he loves. In five to ten years I will remember the amazing story this book tells about loving those you love every second. This book would be ranked as one of my top ten favorite books because it had an amazing plot and story but some parts were a tad boring.
ReplyDelete2.In English 4B I learned that you have to get your work done because you do not have any specific deadlines besides the end of the trimester obviously. I have learned to get my work done early so I can get the rest of my work done early.
sounds like a good book maybe i should read it.
DeleteWe have really learned through our group discussion how closely related our book are and I find it truly amazing! I might have to give this book a shot next!
DeleteThis is a lot like mine also. Ours both have to deal with death and losing loved ones. I believe that you should never take your love ones for granted.
DeleteMy book also deals with the loss of a loved one. It was the main character's older brother Kyle. The main character regrets that he wasn't ever nice to his brother, and didn't spend much time with him before he joined the military.
DeleteI really liked how the class was set up because you know what is expected right away with each new book. Even if you are sick a few days you still know what you need to do so you don't fall behind.
DeleteThis class definitively taught me responsibility and how to get stuff done in a short amount of time. But be honest I still procrastinated too much, that's probably because I am not a big fan of reading. But I really enjoyed this class anyway.
DeleteAs i finished my book i realized survival as a major theme and in 5-10 years i don't think i will remember this book at all it really wasn't one of my favorite books.
ReplyDeletethat sounds very interesting matthew i hope you remember it in 5-10 years
DeleteI hope your book wasn't that bad! PS you forgot to answer the second question.
DeleteI read I Pledge Alligance and it taught me alot about the vietnam war and the troubles the U.S. soilders faced. It taught me to appreiciate everything i have and everyone in my life. In 5 to 10 years i will not remember unless someone shows me the book then i will probley remember. English 4B didnt teach me nothing the only thing i kind of learned is that writing 1 paper every week is very boring and reading 3 books is way to much
ReplyDeleteyour book sounds like it fits you very well! maybe i should read it sometime.
Deletei'm sad to hear that you wont remember your book.
DeleteThat sucks that you aren't gonna remember your book after school is over. I agree that English didn't teach me much besides typing and reading isn't much fun.
DeleteThat's good that it taught you some history background.
DeleteSounds like a good book Walter
DeleteThe theme in Harris and Me is have fun with what you have because they do not have much but they have fun. when i look back on this book i will remember all the crazy stuff they did on the farm. this class taught me how to use my time wisely because you go at your own pace and no one tell you to get back on track.
ReplyDeleteyour book sounds fun austin and im glad you will remember this book
Deletei agree i learn to not mess around and get the book done
DeleteI agree this class taught us to use our time wisely.
DeleteSounds like you read an interesting book im glad you will be able to look back and remember your book. I agree using your time wisely makes your life easier outside of school.
DeleteSounds like a good book and it is good that you can look back and relate to it!
DeleteHarris and Me, I find it interesting from what you explain. This book would be something new for me to read!

ReplyDeleteHoly cow Austin you found something that was worth reading cool!
DeleteThe book Percy Jackson and the Lightning thief teaches you to never give up even if your dreams sound impossible. Percy had to fight gods, and many monsters to complete his quest which seemed impossible. I will probably remember this book in 5-10 years. It is a good book but not one of my favorites. In English 4B I learned to use your time wisely so you can get your work done on time.
ReplyDeleteI agree that using your time wisely was a very important part of this class. It allowed us to have more free time.
DeleteI agree this class taught us to use our time wisely
DeleteI remember reading this book a few tears ago and it defiantly will stick with you.
Delete1. Deep Zone by Tim Green has a lot of lessons to be learned. One of the most memorable is probably that there will always be someone there for you no matter what. The only family that the main character Ty has is his brother. His parents died a year ago so Thane took Ty under his own care. This book is in my top five favorites because it always kept me guessing about what will happen next and made me keep reading. I'm not sure that I will be able to remember it in 10 years though.
ReplyDelete2. Overall this class was very laid back. It was mainly all about being independent besides when we met in groups. As long as I got my work done on time, I had plenty of free time to work on other things. I learned that it is easier to get things done when assigned than waiting till the last minute especially with the papers.
I agree this was a laid back class that taught us independence.

ReplyDeleteThe book The Choice by Nicholas Sparks has many lessons in it. I think the biggest lesson I learned was that if you really want something, don't give up on it. Travis was madly in love with Gabby, and he didn't let the fact that she was in a relationship stop him. He was her friend and was always there for her whenever she needed him. After a while she finally realized that Travis is the guy she wanted to be with so all of Travis's effort and patience paid off. Travis also wanted to hang on to Gabby because he had a feeling she was going to wake up from her coma. He decided to put her in a nursing home in hopes she would wake up, and she did. Once again Travis's effort and patience paid off.
ReplyDeleteEnglish 4B taught me how to work with people I don't normally work with. Even though it may not be easy, its doable.
Sounds like a very interesting book! It kind of relates to my book because of the relationship and the theme really tie in.
Deletei love Nicholas sparks books!
DeleteI agree, it also taught me how to work with others I don't normally work with
DeleteMy book that i chose to read was Night by Elie Wiesel. As far as lessons learned throughout the book i wouldn't take a lesson from this book. The theme of this book would be to not everything in life for granted, or to never give up on anything you do in life there is always a better side of life. In a few years if somebody asked me what i read i would be able to think back and remember because of such a big event that happened in this world.
ReplyDeleteSounded like a good book, and the lesson they taught is a reasonable lesson for us as high schoolers to take in.
DeleteThe book the Fault In Our Stars by John Green is such a great book to read. It makes you stop and think about how lucky you are to not have to worry and go through the hardships that Hazel, and Augusts go through. The treatments and seeing doctors day after day would not be easy and be able to still live a normal life. The lesson i got from this book is that no matter how hard you may have it, never give up and always look forward towards the positive things in life. They still live their dream and make it to Amsterdam to talk to Peter Van Houten about his book even though it did not go the way the expected it to go. I really enjoyed reading this book and it was a great story to hear. I recommend it to anyone who likes love stories or drama books.
ReplyDeleteThis class has taught me how to stay organized and keep up with your work at your own pace. I liked how there was a time limit to get your work done and we could work at our own pace but yet we did have enough time to get it done. I really enjoyed having English with you and i think everything went really well!
I also like having a deadline yet being able to work at our own pace. It helped me manage my time and do things they way I wanted to do them.
DeleteThe book you read really gave off a good message. I get this same message when I work with the special needs kids in the peer partners class. You really do not know how lucky you are until you see it first hand how hard some really have it. I also liked how we got to kind of pick how things went because it taught us time management and when to get things done on out own time.
DeleteIn my book Air Raid-Pearl Harbor I learned the lesson of helping others and don't be selfish. the book taught me that friends will allows be their for you when you need them. when i look back in 5 to 10 year i hope i will remember this book. i really liked reading this book and reading about all of the events leading up to the pearl harbor attack.
ReplyDeleteThis class taught me to use time wisely in class and not to procrastinate. it taught me to manage my time out side of class. i liked how we got to choose what amount of pages we got to read.
Sounds like an interesting book, Ill have to check it out sometime
Deletethat is a great lesson to be learned. the people in my book could use that lesson.
DeleteI'm in favor for history books like that. I wouldn't mind reading it.
DeleteA lesson I learned from my book American Sniper is to never give up, push yourself to do your best, and use doubt from others as motivation. When I look back on it in 5-10 years, Ill remember how Chris never gave up, pushed himself to do his best, and eventually his work paid off by living his dream.
ReplyDeleteThis class taught me to manage my time outside of class and get what you are supposed to get done on time
that sound like i really good book.
DeleteThat is a great lesson to learn and have in life. This class also taught me about time management.
Delete1.) A theme that this book taught me was to try and put others before yourself as much as possible. For example Denise always put her son Kyle before herself by spending over half of her free time teaching him and playing with him, when she could be doing things for herself. Another example is when Taylor was always the first one at an accident or fire and is always willing to do anything to save people. When I look back on this book in 5 to 10 years I will remember the relationships everyone had with each other and how selfless each and everyone of them were. This book is probably one of my all time favorite books now.
ReplyDelete2.) This class has taught me time management and responsibility. I learned to manage my time in order to make sure I had everything done on the deadline. I liked having a time to get things done but also being able to work at it on our own pace. This class also taught me to enjoy reading a little more and I used to not even want to pick up a book.
I read this book and I also got the same message from the book. She would do anything for her son over what she needed to do. In my book it was like the same thing with Lexie, her grandma was sick and she took care of her and did so much for her no matter what she had going on. I also agree this class taught me management skills, it was a really helpful class.
Deletethe lesson of my book "rules of attraction" is basically not to let people get you down in high-school. there will be people who act like they are better than you because maybe they have more money then you but whatever the reason you just got to keep your head held high. looking back at this book five years from now i feel like what i will remember most is how much the book relates to the actual high school career. i rank my book at a 9 because i really enjoyed reading it. the entire class as a whole has taught me to manage my time better so i can get my stuff turned in on time and to keep me reading my book each night.
ReplyDeletesince we got to pick our own books and had the freedom to do so we also had to manage our time well and pick a book we were actually going to read and enjoy.
1. My book Harry Potter talks a lot about friendship. The things I will remember the most about this book in the future is all the things Harry, Ron, and Hermione have done for each other. I have ton of other favorite books but if I were to put this book in with my favorite series it would probably come third behind the Lunar Chronicles and the Hunger Games series.
ReplyDelete2. In English 4B I had a lot of freedom of what to do in class but with all of that free time I learned how important it is to follow a schedule so I am not reading 10 chapters in one night.
I have always wanted to read a Harry Potter book. I have seen the movies, maybe I should read the books now too. Books about friendship are always a good choice.
Deletei have never read the Harry Potter series but i might have to read the books now.
Delete1. I was reading “Carrie” by Stephen King and to be honest there is nothing really that this novel taught me, but I will definitely remember this book. I chose this book because I enjoy reading horror books. In this novel there are definitely few scary, bloody scenes. One scene that I will remember is when Carrie’s classmates kill two pigs in the middle of the night to put the blood in buckets and use it for a revenge act on Carrie. That was a really gross and cruel chapter to read. I really enjoyed reading this book and it is one of the best books I’ve read so far. So I would rank it pretty high up in my list of all-time favorites.
ReplyDelete2. This class has definitely taught me to be responsible for my own work. It is nice to have the freedom to plan your own reading schedule but it also puts a little pressure on you to get stuff done in time. I think this class is a good preparation for college because you will have to learn to get assignments done in time otherwise you won’t get credit for it.
Horror books are always the best! Carrie is a good movie but i have never read the book.
DeleteI would want to read, at least, one Stephen King in my life.
Delete1. My book The Kite Runner deals with a lot about being independent and over coming challenges on your own. A few things I will remember is how different the culture is, how things operate, rape, and having servants. I'd give this book about a 3 out of 5 wasn't my favorite but still a pretty good book.
ReplyDelete2.This class has taught me to be independent but also be able to work in a group. I learned how to read in English 4b
Even though I might not read anymore books, but if i had too i would probably read this one seems like its got a little bit in common with my book
DeleteSounds like a interesting book Cody
Delete1. my book american sniper deals alot with overcoming challenges on his own. things i will remember is that how many people he killed and how many times he served overseas. id give this book a 4 outta 5 it was a pretty good book.
ReplyDelete2. i learned that i need to read so i can finish my book and not be rushed
I also learned that if you just get the book done you do not have to be rushed at the end
DeleteI also figured out that it is much better if you finish your book easier so you don't have to worry about anything
Delete1. This book really taught me that it is never to late to make anything happen and to not give up on something you really want or care about. The main character in the book really liked this girl but they lived in different states and they did not think that they could make it work even though they really liked each other. After sometime of being away he went back to her and they both still liked each other and they were going to make sacrifices to be with each other. It also taught me that sometimes you have to sacrifice something that you think is the best right now to find out that there is better out there. He also really cared about her and could not let her go so he kept fighting for her and in the end it was worth it. This book was very good and I would defiantly put it in my top 10 for sure, I really enjoyed the story.
ReplyDelete2. I learned a lot about getting my homework done and how much of a procrastinator I am. I put a lot of things off that I should not and I should just do them right away. This class taught me to just read what I need to for that day and do my log with it. Also do my blogs the day they come out so I get them done and do not push them off. I learned to just do my work when I need to and get it done and do not push it off for later. This class really prepared me for college because next year I will have so much more homework and I just need to do it right away and not put it off.
The Color Purple, This book has shared a theme that I find to be true for most people, even myself. In one of the letters Nettie writes to Celie she shares, "Unbelief is a terrible thing. And so is the hurt we cause others unknowingly". I think we sometimes do or say things we might not find hurting but in reality they are. I know that if one day I find myself looking at this book I will remember the connection between sisters, sisters who are separated by distance, but not by heart. This book ranks on my list of all time favorites. It was such a good read. I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteIn this class I learned to be organized and work with others. I also learned how to work with a schedule. Reading the pages necessary for the day and also writing on my reading log. I was responsible to finish my own work and not let my groups down by not finishing, and that is important.
1) Spend more time with family, because they won't be there forever. In the end, Justin wishes he would have spent more time with his older brother Kyle before Kyle joined the marines and left. Kyle died, but his military dog, Max was sent home to Kyle's family because Max would no longer do his job without Kyle being there by his side. Justin and his parents kept Max because he is the last living part of Kyle. No matter what happens, your family will always be there for you. This was another great lesson my book had. Justin and Max got into a lot of trouble throughout the book, and his family and friends were there for them the whole time. In 5 or 10 years from now, I will remember how; you have to earn respect from others, it is not just given to you. This book is my all time favorite, along with the movie because they are both filled with suspense and emotion.
ReplyDelete2) In this class I have learned that, it helps to use your time wisely and do not procrastinate. That way you do not have to rush to try to get everything done later or the night before everything is due. I noticed that it is a lot easier to do everything right away than wait.
1. The book American Sniper has taught me a few things. First is that yo have to know what is most important to you. Chris knows that going into the military is what he want is his life so that's what he goes after. Even through it may have hurt his family he knew it was what would make him proud of him. I also learned that if you love something fight for it. Chris was losing his connection with his wife and children. He knew he couldn't lose them and he faught to keep them in his life because he loved them dearly even if he spent years away in the military he knew what was with him the whole time.
ReplyDelete2.This class has taught me that i need to make sure i stay on task and get my work done on time. Getting work done in this class makes it very easy and low stress. I felt like the class was easy going and a good working environment. There was plenty of time to get everything done that needed to be done.
1.The book Night has taught me a few lessons, it taught me not to take anything for granted because you never know when your last day on earth is going to be. Like in the book, Elie was thinking that he could die the next day but he never knew if or when he was going to die.
ReplyDelete2. I learned that reading a book isnt all that bad. Also that you can keep track of a lot more stuff by taking notes while reading the book. Like some of the parts in the books i probably wouldn't remember unless i wrote them down.
1. The book I read was Ferguson Rifle by Louis L'amour, this book taught me is trust. Always trust your friends because they got your back. Will I remember this book more than likely but it might take me a bit to think about it.
ReplyDelete2. I learned in English how to type papers the right way and to turn them in on the due date. Also reading wasn't bad at all just choose what is interesting and you might like it. Also you get some freedom, but you have to get some work done. Just put your time on things to get done and they will get done. Hell yeah finally done!
1. The lesson I got from Perks of Being a Wallflower is don’t let anything get in your way, do what you feel is right. If I were to look back 5-10 years from now I would remember this book because I had some of the same problems as Charlie, like being shy and not talking to anyone.
ReplyDelete2. English 4B taught me to stay on task or you will fall behind. It taught me to use my time wisely also.
1. When i finished Wolf Storm one of the main lessons i learned though reading it is you have to get along with people in the worst of times. I don't think i will look back on this book but I will recommend it to other people down the road. Also the book isn't up there with my favorites but i did enjoy the book.
ReplyDelete2.English 4B taught me how to hold discussions better and do my work on my own time.
that is probably a lesson that the people in my book learned also.
Delete1.i learned from my book that you should not trust people you just met. i read first hand what error of trust can lead to.
ReplyDelete2. This class had taught me how manage my time wisely and how to work with others.
I really did like the theme of No Country For Old Men. I think the theme was "no one is safe from coming danger. I thought of that because of how the entire book centers on one big hunt. I'll probably remember this book as a confusing, but most thrilling novel. It's hard to compare other books I've read with this because of how my understanding in novels was developing over the years.
ReplyDeleteWhat I took away from this class is that keeping track of the events in my book will help me know what happened in early previous events.
