Book: Bloomability by Sharon Creech
Pages read: 90
Job: Summarizer
This week's reading begins with the introduction of a new character, a Japanese boy named Keisuke. Keisuke is described as "slim and quiet" and as the complete opposite of Guthrie. He mispronounces words and incorrectly phrases sentences. He is also Belen's crush. Just before break, Lila tells Dinnie that she wants to leave the school but Dinnie wants her to stay and tries to get Guthrie to convince her, to no avail. Dinnie spends winter break in Switzerland with her aunt and uncle. On Christmas Day she goes to church and receives skiing paraphernalia from her aunt and uncle in preparation for the school's upcoming ski trip. On the skiing trip Dinnie learns to ski and Lila returns with a whole new attitude. The month after the trip is Global Awareness Month and everyone begins to think about how people in the world struggle. Thinking is also the new English homework which leads to many discussions about the new book they are reading, Romeo and Juliet. This week's reading ends with a day skiing trip where when everyone meets up in the cafe on the mountain, Guthrie is nowhere to be found.
I think that at this point in the book Dinnie is beginning to form a circle of friends, beginning to enjoy her time at the school, and slowly growing away from her family. She is willing to have new experiences and doesn't miss her family as much.
Key Points of this Week's Reading:
