I just started I Am Number by Pittacus Lore and I am obsessed. Lore starts off the novel with intensity and grabbed me with his first paragraph. I started this book and ended up reading to the sixth chapter in the first sitting! In the novel, there are eight children from the planet Lorien that have special powers. These eight children are now living on Earth, hiding from their enemies named the Morgadorians. According to a sacred Lorien charm, these eight children will be hunted down in order by the Morgadorians. The first three are dead and now the main character, number four, is next in line. Although, I said in the last two entries that I had wanted to read Mrs. Kennedy and Me, I changed my mind, and have become to adore this book. I have changed my question I want answered to: "How has the author made this book so addictive?"
I think I am doing really well with my personal literacy narrative. Mine is about how reading and sending letters at camp helped me overcome my separation anxiety from my parents in the fifth grade. I still feel like I still need to develop and edit my draft more. My description of me opening the first letter from my mom needed to be a lot more vivid. My opening paragraph also needs to grab the reader's attention, so that they will want to read the rest of my narrative. I really like getting constructive criticism from other people. It makes me a better writer and helps me learn what I need to do better. Other than those minor edits, I feel like I am on the right path to a successful paper.
