The Gadget

Dear Ms. Zrihen I am currently reading the book the Gadget By Paul Zindel.
I chose to read this book because This book seems interesting I looked at the front page and I read the back and this is a book that I would be happy to read. The two reading strategies I used before reading the book   was that I read the back of the book and I skim and scan. So far I am in the middle of the book and the two reading strategies I used were that I asked myself questions about the book so far and I went back in the story to look for more details and clues in the book. I am not yet done with the book but when I will be done the two reading strategies I will use is that I will ask myself more questions about the whole book this time and the other one will be that I will go back to the story to reread the pages that I marked and didn't understand that well. The protagonist is Stephen and his friend Tilanov. The genera is non fiction. The Main idea is that Stephan and Tilanov to stop the gadget. The Authors purpose to write this book was to entertain. My point of view of this story is so far this is a good book and has a lot of action. straddled because it said straddled his suit case with his long legs,Quonset because it said houses and metal Quonset huts. I rate this book from what I have read so far a 6 and a half. I rated it a 6 and a half because this book is interesting but not always to me but that is just my opinion so to other people who read this it might be interesting to them. But at the end of the book it might be better or i am at least hoping that it will be better.

  1. Dear Maor,
    You are missing quit a lot of things in your Blog.
    I didn't see your plot, and that means, that no one understood what the story was about. We don't know the order in which the events took place.
    And you also mentioned that you used the strategy of looking at the back of the book.
    The back of the book with the paragraph on it.... its called a Synopsis.
    Read :)
