  1. I like your blog. I think that the blog post was a little short. I wish that you would have said more about the book and maybe added in some quotes.

  2. It seems like this is a Realistic Fiction book.
    I really liked how you describe the characters,
    the problem, and the end. I think that you should
    try to write a little bit more next time.
