Book Club Post #1

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.
