Amber's+E-Journal

//** E-Journal entry one **//
==//** So far I am really enjoying this book. It was my first choice, so I was really happy and excited when my name was called for this book. Right now, I am on chapter 7 and I am really getting into it. I'm a little behind in my group, but that’s okay, all my other group members are really fast readers and I guess I just like to soak it all in. **//== ==//** The book has really drawn me in. The first few chapters were pretty interesting. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the book, and to find out what will happen. Im not that far into it so it’s a little dull right now. Im sure it will get way more exciting and fun when I get further through. **//== ==//** Something seem kind of suspicious with Zack, and his condition. I cant wait to find out what is wrong with him. I really like these kind of book that keep you thinking and really make you want to read more and more. **//== ==//** I probably would have read this even if I didn’t get it for my group. I really hope that book will get more interesting and excited as I read on. I also really enjoy vampire books, and after reading the last chapter I found out that it is one. I think it will have more action as I read on. **//== ==//** So far, in the book there has been a lot of action. It is kind of getting slow, but I know that it will get better because I just found out that Zack was a vampire, and his dads death wasn’t an ascendent. His father was a vampire hunter, and an evil vampire made a temple claps on him. Then the evil vampire bit Zack. Now he is a vampire too. **//==

//** E-Journal entry two **//
==//** I got a little farther in my book and i am really enjoying this part. I know that he is a vampire, and that his dad and his uncle are vampire hunters. He got bite by a vampire so now his is one for the rest of his life. If that was me, I don't think I would like that at all. He now knows that it wasn't strawberry slush that she was putting into his drinkable meals. I think the book is really interesting and it is also very mysterious, and I really like books like that. Some of my other group members don't like the book as much as I do. I'm sure they will once they keep reading. I also found out that I am not the farthest one behind! but I am only about five pages ahead. Tonight I will read a few more chapters before I go to bed. i think next chapter I read will be really goo (so I have heard from a couple people in my group) but I am sure they will be right. Yes, I know this one isn't long enough, but i will add to it later. **//==

Hi Amber,
==Your entry is plenty long enough! Thank you for your insight into the novel. I am glad that you are enjoying the collaborative process. You have a great group to work with and very different perspectives will enable all of you to learn from each other. I like how you made connections with your own thoughts and feelings. You also provide the reader with supporting details which is very important. Keep up the great work! ==

==|| **Protagonist** ||  ||  **Antagonist** || The antagonist is the creepy old man that comes for Zack. ||  ||  **Setting** || The book takes place in a ward ||  ||  **Conflict** || Some conflict in the book is Zack’s uncle comes and tells him the real story about his dad and his murder. Then his uncle told Zack that Zack’s dad and his uncle were vampire hunters, and Zack was a vampire. His uncle said that an evil vampire made a temple collapse on him. Zack got really mad and now wants to find this vampire and kill him. ||  ||  **Climax** || I think the climax in my book is at the start when the old man comes in and crashes into the front doors of the ward on a stolen police motorcycle. Zack was in the gym when he heard a huge crash. He went out and saw a man covered in blood, and glass ever where. ||  ||  **Resolution**
