Visualizing

When I read "When my name was Keoko". Ms. Patrice make me do the reading strategy called visualizing. So i did it! I Visualized about how keoko's mom cried and scream when she hear that Tae-yul is doing a suicide mission. I pictured in my mind what did Tae-yul sees when he is controlling the plane. I can feel the emotions that Tae-yul had when he found out that he is doing a suicide mission for the Japanese. I can see how life was for a Korean recuit in the Japanese camp and how Tae-yul feel when the Japaneses said that the Koreans weren't brace enough for the special mission. I use this strategy all the time and I found it very helpful. I think visualizing is the best way for the reader to understand and enjoy the book easier, make it easier for the reader to understand the plot of the story, thank you Ms.Patrice for making me use this wonderful strategy and I will try to practice this skill every time I read a novel or a story.

Steel Trapp the challenge by Ridley Pearson

The title is the name of the book i have finished. It is pretty thick, 234 pages. And i liked it very much, it has a good plot and intense conflicts that make me want to read further into the book. The story is basically about a boy that is participating in a national science challenge in Washington, on his way he found a mysterious brief case that leads him to troubles with armed criminal and kidnappers. I like how the author uses a lot of itallics, it makes the stuffs look cool. In overall i would give this book a 7/10.
