Readers Journal #10 High Tide In Hawaii-By:Mary Pope Osborne- November 1,2011

Dear Mrs.Zrihen,






I just finished reading the book HIGH TIDE IN HAWAII By Mary Pope Osborne. i picked this book because it seemed nice and because i had to read a short story. the significance of the book is to be friendly and not to be shy like if you need help.the two reading strategies i used before reading was i made predictions and the second one was asked myself what do i already know about his book well i knew the characters of the book are Annie and jack.the two strategies i used during the time  read was i went back to understand more of the book, the second strategy was i looked through for some words i didn't know. the two reading strategies i used after the time i read was i looked through some text features in the book, the second strategy was i asked myself what did i learn from the book.

The genre of this book is short story. The characters of the book are Annie, Jack, Kama,Boka, and Morgan. The setting of the book Hawaii, Jack and Annie's house and the ship and the weather conditions are are sunny and lots of waves. The exposition is Jack, Annie,Kama,Boka,and Morgan and also the places are Jack and Annie's house ,the ship, and Hawaii. The rising action is when they need help building a ship to get home. The  climax of this story is that they found two kids Kama and Boka and become friends with them. The falling action is that Kama and Boka teach Annie and Jack how to surf and sail a boat. The Resolution is that Annie and Jack build the ship and sail back home and have fun during the time where they went to Hawaii they danced and ate good food. The conflict of the book is when Jack and Annie need help building a ship and heading back home and talking to Morgan.

The tone of this book is calm and excited and happy. The mood of this book is happy and calm. The theme of the book is to be friendly and helpful. The moral of this book is always be friendly and helpful. The point of view is 3rd person and 1st person.The pattern of organization is compare and contrast. The Authors Purpose is to entertain. The Authors Perspective is to let people know how good it is to be friendly and its objective and bias.

I think this book is alright its not the best one i read but its OK but i don't think its for my grade level. I wouldn't recommend this to my friends because i know they wont like it and its not for them. the book was kind of boring because it was about waves and how they were friendly with the people they met.I think I'm similar to Annie kind of  because she likes to jump around and have fun, and i like to have fun too and try new stuff like surfing.

My rate for the book is 6/10 because i didn't like the book so much it was kind of boring and some of the pages didn't make sense even when i reread the pages.



Sincerely,
