Book Club Post #2

Book Club book: Scorpions
Pgs: 37-50

Summary:
So far in the book something really funny happen, Jamel got pimp-slapped by a pimp because he was try to defend Tito(one of his friends). Tito was laying on the pimps chine(his car in other words) so the pimped pushed him. After that a lot more happen but the most important was that Jamel is trying to make money to get his brother out of jail. So Jamel meet up with Mark(a friend of Ranny), Mark is the war-lord of the Scorpions gangs he is trying to make Jamel the Head of the gang for they can make money to get his brother out of jail. Jamel has to meet up with Mark again, ask time they meet he said "I'm going to bring the stuff". Jamel thinks that the STUFF is a gun but he don't know what the gun is for. Later on Jamel go's to Tito house. They were talking about how they are going to make $2000 to get his Ranny out of jail. Jamel said that he waited to get a job to help his mom out.

Opinion:
It's sad that Ranny went to jail for killing a man, but in jail he can't get hurt; I hope that he don't get hurt. If Jamel gets a job he can help his mom. What Jamel doing is go but why did he take that gun from Mark. If someone give me a gun I wouldn't even take it from them. I would just drop it on the floor not like him. How he tooked a gun to school, if they find him with that he would be in big trouble they maybe will out him in jail or take him away from his mom. So his mom would have lost to childs if they found him with the gun.

Prompt:
What do you think is going to happen in next weeks reading?My first book club meeting went bad at first but then it turn around and we starting talking about what we need to talk. We were talking about Jamel was going to keep the gun and shoot somebody. But I agreed with Kevon when he said it was funny with Jamel got pimped slap. I also areed with Enmaanuel when he said that the book is like things that happen in everyday life. I didn't agreed with any thing that Dedra because that day she didn't read the book. I think next next week Jamel is going to do something bad and get in big trouble because the gun.

Book Club book: Scorpions
Pgs:1-37

Summary: The book im reading is about a poor family that lives in New York. In the book Jamal has a little sister an mother and an brother that is in jail. So far Jamal olny have one friend in school and his name is Tito. Jamal mom told him to go meet Mark, Mark is a friend of Jamal friends that is in jail. When he went to meet Mark it was a crack house(pg36). That is all that happen so far, but sometime the author leave you with out knowing what is going to happen next so that make you keep on reading.

Opinion: I feel that the book is deep. It make me think about all the kids and bum that are in the world. It sad that his brother is in jail but it be sad if he go's to jail to. But if Jamal start selling crack I think he is going to go to jail, if you are killing someone else with what you sell you should go to jail. It also sad that the gang his brother was in (scorpions) want him to join. If I had to recommend someone to read the book I would recommend them because this book make you think about the world.

Prompt:How do you feel about this new unit of Study? How did your book Club group perform this week? What role did you get the chance to play this week and how did that go for you? Tell me at least two new words that you learned this week as you read your book.
I feel that this unit of study is cool because we read and then we blog about what we read. This week my group has be good but sometimes we act up. This week I only done two role in book clubs I have been deep thinker and the historian. When I was the deep thinker I understander the job that i had to do, as a historian it was easier because all i had to do was write was big invents happen in the book. This week I learned the word heavyset means with a compact and powerful-looking build; I also learn the word addle means to make something rotten or spoiled.
