​ ​ Nicole's Page Hi my name is Nicole and I am reading a book called //My Sisters Child// and the book is about a woman named Juilia and when she was at her house she got a phone call from her mother and she knew that was not a good sign and it was not. When Juilia answered the phone it was her mother and Julia couldtell that she had been crying when she found out what it was she was shocked herself, her mother just told her that her sister had killed herself she had drowned herself in the pound behind her house, Juilia did not know what to say before Juilia got anything out of her mouth her mother asked her to come back home. At first Juilia aswered her she said, "Of course mama I'll be there as soon as possiable, but when she got off the phone with her she thought, "maybe I shouldn't have done that", but once she was off the phone with her mom it was to late. So when Juilia got there she saw her mom and her sisters child Cora (her mom) and Katie her 8 year old niece. So a few weeks later when Katie was about ready to start school again so while Katie was waiting for her aunt to sign her up Kaite just sat aroung the shop that her grandma owned and helped out if there was any help needed. So one late afternoon when it was raining Juilia's old professor from collage come tothe store and just wanted to stretch a little before geting back on the road. But Julia did not want to see him so she staying behind the door so that shewould not be seen. So after she left her mother (Cora) told about it and Juilia acted as if she never herd of saw him. So a few moments later all Juilia, Cora, and Katie herd was a screech and Cora and Juilia new what it was and so Julia offered to go out there and Kaite did not want her because she was afraid she would loose her aunt the same way she lost her mother.

Dear Nicole,

Wow! Great journal entries! //My Sister’s Child// really sounds interesting. Did Julia end up caring for Katie? What a circumstance to find one’s self in.

You seem to lean toward realistic fiction: realistic characters in real-life situations that are challenging and emotional. Do the relationships that people have with one another (families/friends) interest you when you read about characters? Do you like reading about characters who are about your age?

Well, I’m sorry that we didn’t get to finish //The Hunger Games// in class, but you’ll have to pick up where we left off (chapter 9) when you get the chance. I thought that the book was a little slow until I got to the part where the actual “Games” begin, and then it really gets intense! I couldn’t put the book down.

Again, thanks for the outstanding journal entries.

Happy reading,

Mr. McFadden

September 15-17, 2009 Dear Mr. McFadden, Now in the last time I told you about my book Juilia found out her sister died so she went and lived with her mother and niece, she also did many activities to help her niece get over her mothers death. So when Juilia’s professor comes she does not want to see him so hides, then he gets in a car accident, and Katie is afraid she will loose her aunt the same way her mother was killed water. Okay now I will tell you more about what happened so Juilia is driving to where her teacher got in an accident and finds it and so she rushes out of the car and does not see her professor or his car she just sees car marks on the road, so she looks over the cliff to find her teacher barley on a curb on the side of the cliff so she calls his name no answer, so then she rushes down there and finds her professor unconscious in his car beside a waterfall. So she sees if her teacher is breathing and or alive and he is still alive and breathing. So she new that his car was not going to stay on that little edge for very long so she had to get him out of the car. So she was able to get him out of the car through the window so she did but when she got him out his was too heavy for her to hold and he fell on top of her. So about an hour later Juilia herd sirens and she new it was the ambulance. So while Juilia is on the edge of a cliff with her professor on top of her the medical guy finally decides to show up and it is a guy that Juilia went to collage with. So he goes down there gets them up and the teacher finally woke up and while he is in the ambulance the media shows up and wants to talk to Juilia so they ask her a few questions then the medical team want to check Juilia out to make sure that she is okay but she said no so the guy asked her to at least come over to talk to the teacher and so she goes over there and ends up going to the hospital with her professor.
