Dear Mrs.Zrihen,                 RJ #3 702 9/13/11

          I am currently reading the book THEODORE THE ABDUCTION BOONE by John Grisham I am still not done with the book but I reached enough to understand what the book is talking about. This book is very suspending and makes me want to read more and more. I picked this book because it was a recommendation and also it said #1 international bestselling author so I knew the author would be great. I also picked this book because I read the synopsis and it attracted me like what happened to the girl? Did she run away? Did someone kidnap her? Were her parents mean to her? Does it have to do with Theodore? All these questions leave you clueless thats why I wanted to read it. I used 2 strategies before reading I skim and scanned for the literary elements, and I also looked for text features. Two strategies I used during was I reread what I did not understand, and I also summarized to myself some chapters. Two strategies I used after reading was I summarized the part of the book that I finished, and I also tested myself to see if I understood what I read.

          "Someone has taken our April! Then she burst into tears and reached to hug Theo, he wanted no part of being hugged but went long but went along with the ritual out of respect" page 7

          This was very meaningful to me I kept on wondering where se could of have went? and why did she go? I felt very bad if maybe she got kidnapped.

          The genre of this book is realistic fiction that means it is based on a true story that could of happened. The characters are round dynamic the protagonist is Theo Boone, the antagonist is not exactly told, the setting is in Strattenburg, Pennsylvania that is where Theo and his friend lives. The setting to the story just right away leds to the conflict which is Theo's friend has went to sleep at night but in the middle of the night when her mom decided to check on her she was not at her bed. I did not get as farther than that in the book I will finish it next week. The tone is very suspending and the mood is pretty depressing. The pattern of organization is chronological order/time order I did not see any figurative language throughout what I read. 

          A response starter is if I was the main character I would tell the police the truth because it  is a very serious situation.

          I rate this book a 10 out of 10 up till now I hope the book will stay that way until I get to the end it looks like a great book and I hope it will be.

                                                

                    

                                              Sincerely,Bar Peretz
