This week we finished our books that we have been reading, we spent the first 2 days down in the library reading and focusing on finishing our books and what was happening in them. The end of my book was crazy, I found out that the meanest guy in the book who murdered people in the soccer field turned out to be the bully from when Amir and Hassan were little, that blew my mind. In the end Amir got to take home Hassans son but he didn't talk for a whole year since he tried to kill himself. This book was crazy and it shocked me so many times and mad me super mad and sad a lot. But through reading this book I was able to learn about what it might be like to grow up in other countries and what is currently happening some places. We also talked in groups of people who read the same book as us and discussed what was happening in the book, I really like it when we do that because it helps me out hearing what other people are thinking about what I'm reading. I also like that when we do that we can talk about stuff we were confused about or didn't understand because I had something that I was so confused about but we figured it out together and now everything makes a lot more sense. The word for this week is dedicated because I have been very dedicated to this book and to finishing it and understanding it.
