• Title: To Kill a Mockingbird
• Author: Harper Lee
• Type of Book: Biography
II Characters
Main Character: Jean Louise "Scout" Finch-a little girl who is narrating the story.
She and her friends are intrigued by the local rumors about a man named Boo Radley,
• I can identify with the main character when: Wanted jusctice for Tom Robinson,a black man who was accused of raping a white girl.
• Supporting Characters:
Atticus Finch- a lawyer with high moral standards. Scout and jem’s father.
Jem- Scout’s brother. Who has an uneven arm because of an incident he had.
Dill - from Mississippi but spends his summer in Maycomb at a house near the Finch's.
III Setting
The story took place in Alabama during the Depression.
• Comments: Alabama is where black and white people lived. It was the time where white folks oppressed black people because of their color. A lot of stories and movies about that are being showed today, so the setting has a connection with the story because of its history.
IV Plot: The Action/Summary of What Happened in the Story
• Jem and jean are brothers and sisters. Practically best friends. They met Dill and their adventures started.
• First was the Radley rumors. Dill was intrigued by the story about Boo radley that jem and jean told him. Dill dared jem to go to the Radley’s house. Jem never backed out from a dare before and so eventually, he accepted. The children were curious to know more about Boo, and during one summer, they created a mini-dram, which tells the events of boo’s life as they know. Slowly, the children begin moving closer to the Radley house, which is said to be haunted. They try leaving notes for Boo on his windowsill with a fishing pole, but are caught by Atticus. The children try sneaking over to the house at night and looking through its windows. Boo's brother, Nathan Radley, who lives in the house, thought he heared a sound and he fires his gun. The children run away, and Jem loses his pants in a fence. When he returns in the middle of the night to get them back, they have been neatly folded and the tear of his pants were already sewn up.
• The next winter brings unexpected cold and snow, and Miss Maudie's house catches on fire. While Jem and Scout, shivering, watch the blaze from near the Radley house, someone puts a blanket around Scout without her realizing it. Not until she returns home and Atticus asks her where the blanket came from does she realize that Boo Radley must have put it around her while she was entranced by watching Miss Maudie, her favorite neighbor, and her burning house.
• Atticus, jem and scout’s father decided to accept a case about a black man (Tom Robinson) raping a white women(Mayella Ewell). And because of that, Jem and scout was teased and bullied. Dill an away from his home, where his mother and new father don't seem interested in him, and stays in Maycomb for the summer of Tom's trial. The night before the trial, Tom is moved into the county jail, and Atticus, fearing a possible lynching, stands guard outside the jail door all night. Jem is concerned about him, and the three children sneak into town to find him. A group of men arrive ready to cause some violence to Tom, and threaten Atticus in the process. At first Jem, Scout and Dill stand aside, but when she senses true danger, Scout runs out and begins to speak to one of the men, the father of one of her classmates in school. Her innocence brings the crowd out of their mob mentality, and they leave.
• Atticus knew that Tom was innocent but because he was black, the judge said he was guilty. Tom later died because he tried to escape out of jail and was shot.
• Bob Ewell, Mayella ewwel’s father followed jem and scout that were just going home after their Halloween play. With a kitchen knife, Bob tried to kill them. Jem broke Bob’s arm and Scout was just helpless because she was wearing a ham shaped wire costume and she couldnt see what was going on. Boo Radley rescues them by Stabbing the knife to Bob. The sheriff declared that it was Bob’s own doing so that Boo wouldn’t go to jail.
V Theme
• their was a moral in the story because it also talked about good and evil. People having good hearts vs. the people having bad ones. At first, the bad people may seem to win everytime. Nut in the end, good will always prevail.
• I learned from this story that we should be fair, we should do things that are right, and always be honest.
• State a problem in the story and how it was solved:
Jem, scout and dill never knew Boo radley. They thought he was scary at first. But then in the end, he was really a good person.
VI Evaluation of the Book
• Ii liked it because reading it was new for me. The story is different from other books and it taught me a lot of things. Things that I should do.

THE LORD OF THE FLIES
I Introduction/General Information about the Book
• Title: Lord of The Flies
• Author: William Golding
• Type of Book: Mystery/ fantasy
II Characters
Main Character:
Ralph: (one of the supreme trio) was the leader of the group that had great leadership skills. He was the one who found the conch shell that united the children after the crash.
His friends were killed by the other children that left their group. Those children believed that there was a monster in the island where they crashed.
• I can identify with the main character when: he used the conch self to call the other survivors of the crash. THAT was being responsible and resourceful. Even though it was scary at that time (surviving a crash),he still managed to pull himself together and called the other children.
• Supporting Characters: (name at most three)
Piggy- (one of the supreme trio) was the sensitive child. His glasses were really helpful because it was used to make fire. He was killed by roger because of his glasses. Roger dropped a rock on him and at the same time, the conch shell was shattered.
Simon- (one of the supreme trio), the one who envisioned the head of the pig swarmed by flies as the Lord of the Flies. When he went
III Setting
It was on an Island. Some of the children believed that there was a monster living there. Because of that, the children that formed a group later split into two tribes. Ralph’s tribe focused on preserving the signal fire. While Jack’s tribe focused more on hunting. There was a dead corpse in the Island. It was the corpse of a pilot that crashed.
• Comments: The setting of the story was different. During that time, people need all the resources they could get. Then why doesn’t anyone know about the island? Or why aren’t there any human inhabitants where boys who are in the age of less than thirteen could make shelter and hunt food? It taught me that some things even though they seem useless could be usefull all along.
IV Plot:
A Plane crashed. Only boys that were in the age less than 13 survived.
They adapted and worked together for a short time.
Then jack decided to leave the group taking his fellow choirs along therefore splitting the group.
Jack and his members of the tribe believed that there was a monster in the island. They set a trap using the head of the pig that they caught earlier. Simon found the head of the pig and thought that it was the Lord of The Flies. When he tried to tell jack’s tribe, Jack’s tribe killed him because they thought he was the monster.
They later on killed piggy because they wanted his glasses.
Ralph fled. When he was about to be caught, a naval battle ship saw the fire and landed near where Ralph is. Ralph cried because he knew that they were already saved.
• What is the author trying to say in this story? Is there a moral to this story? Just have faith. Just keep the fire going. For sure Help is coming.
• This book showed me/I learned from this story:
I learned that sticking together is better than splitting into groups because it could get the job done easier and faster. And it is more fun! The more the merrier right! More heads are better than less.
• State a problem in the story and how it was solved
They needed food and shelter so they assigned tasks to each of the children so that the job would get done and it did.
VI Evaluation of the Book
• What are your thoughts about the book? (did you or didn’t you like it and why?)
I liked it very much. It is really interesting. The characters had different kinds of traits that make the story even better.
