The Setting Of My Book

Whisper Of Death, Christopher Pike

pages: 29-47

The setting in the book reflects the entire story. The setting makes the book. It takes place in a little town outside of Texas somewhere and there is a population size of like 250 and everybody knows everybody. What makes the setting so unique is how everything in the story falls in to part with the setting as each scene. For example when they went to a special place on the mountain it was just them nobody else which made the scene so real as if you were there in place of everybody. It makes you relate to things happen in the story. Without the setting the story would be dull and boring just overall not interesting. Every spot and every place the book takes you brings it to life . I am responseing to the first bullet in setting.

How do you feel about the setting ?

The First Conflict Of My Book

Whisper Of Death , Christopher Pike
1-32

As I read I came across my first conflict in my book. The characters Pepper & rox are a young couple in love and are experienceing some problems. Rox thinks she is falling in love to fast and is not sure what to do. I think they will face many more conflicts as the story progesses. The characters seem angry all the time and only happy when they are together which is good. I believe this will affect them having more problems in the future. I want to know next if they will continue to have issues. But i think they will make it though. They way rox acts thoughtout the story so far. Pepper is more of a layed back type guy so i don't believe there will be problems from him. The suspens is killing me. I'm dying to know whats going to happen next. I am responsing to the first bullet in conflict

What do you think will happen next?

impressions on the book

aliens in the sky

christopher pike

page # 1-25


It starts to get real spooky up in spooksville . Adam and his friends stay up late one night,then they seen these bright lights in the sky. The lights looked like flying saucers.The next night ,one of the saucers lands by the reservoir and when they came out the ship , they didnt look like people at all. How I feel about this book is shocked ans surprised. I did not expect to read something like this .this bbok is like some type of extraterrestrial mystery. I didnt feel scared by this , maybe a little curious because i wanted to find out if the aliens will realese them or not .Maybe they didnt capture them it might be some sort of prank or the aliens could be coming in peace. I will just have to keep reading to find out what might happen later in the story because i am deeply interested to find out.

Christopher pike's, The graduation

The name of my book is called The graduation by Christopher pike. So far I read about 10 pages and the book has 238. I know it sounds bad but, right about now the book is not that interesting to me. Right now the book is about some high school Seniors approaching graduation.The main character is a girl name sara which is class president. Sara has the hard job of sorting and passing out year books to her peers. Hopefully this book gets more interesting as I read it.

Post For New Book 1-18-08

I don't like my book so far. It seems very boring and has no intersting parts to it. My book is a myserty book but the way the myserty unfolds it's wack to me lol. I hope as i contiune to read this book becomes more fun and i also hope i enjoy reading it. The backround of my book is that a girl & her boyfriend goes campin in a strange place with differnt people. Then everythin seems to fall out of place. This really brings no fun into this book at all.

Group Response 1/14/08

The reason my group choose mystery because we thought mystery would be good and interesting. Mystery is a sense of a crime or usally something bad happening and we though this would be good to read. The reason other people read mystery is for the same reason. Mystery has that special exictment thats draws you in to read it.

Nice work Kearia.  I'm glad you found a book that you liked.  Just be a bit more specifics with your responses.  That last response wasn't really backed up by much evidence.

Jamar - 3/5 Responses

Jamar, I'm going to focus on the second response since it is representative of the high water mark of your responses.  You set that response up nicely.  It's well organized and sheds real insight into the connection between your book and your life.  Nice job.  Let's bring the rest up to that level and make sure to keep up on your reading.

I like that you are varying the questions you are responding to.  Although they are a tad on the short side, they really show that you are trying to get inside the book to understand it.  Nice job so far this quarter.
