This chapter in "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" was about a man who missed his wife a lot and was lucky enough to see her.

The tone of the text is apologetic. The author states, "I didn't know, OK? I didn't know your life, what happened. I didn't know you. But you're my father. I'll let it go now, all right? All right? Can we let it go.."(Albom 144).
This paragraph shows us that Eddie (main character) is apologizing to his father because he is very sorry for what happened with their relationship and how he treated his father.

The three words I would use to describe my main character Eddie would be nice, chill and tired. I would say he is nice is because whenever he sees a kid sad he makes them a balloon to cheer them up. He's also chill because he spends most of his days just going with the flow. I would say he is tired because he is in his senior years and is always limping around, and sighing sadly.

"He told us that he didn't grade us on essays and etc. Instead he graded on growth and progress" (Albom 15). This shows us that Morrie wasn't a traditional teacher, and didn't believe in the regular grading system.

I can infer that Elle isn't particularly fond of Charlette and wants to get revenge for her Dad.

I would describe my main character Elle is a lady who has demons in her closet that she tries to hide but sometimes let them out and gets very angry. You can tell that she very well-mannered but only to the right person. If you betray her, she'll never forgive you but if you treat her properly , she'll be the nicest person.

Charlotte is a stubborn teenager who tries to keep her emotions to herself but it never works out. She also changes emotions very quickly. Overall, Charlotte is good heart who's trying to get her Dad out of prison.

The setting of my story "Another Miserable Love Song" takes place in Canada at her best friend, Jamie's, garage. Kallie is celebrating her birthday at the garage and playing music with Jamie and her friends.

Kallie and Jamie communicate through jokes, nice comments, and friendly remarks. Jamie said "I'll be your Dallas Winston anytime, babe. If you'll be my Cherry," (Carter 12). This shows Jamie being friendly to Kallie through harmless jokes.

"One good thing about watching a matinee alone on a Thursday afternoon is there's no one around to see you bawl your eyes out. (Kallie 1)".

"One good thing about watching a matinee alone on a Thursday afternoon is there's no one around to see you bawl your eyes out." (Kallie 1)

The relationship between Kallie (main character) and Jamie (supporting character) is cool. The book talks about Jamie is always there to support Kallie when she is feeling down about something or in need of help. For example, when Kallie's father died, Jamie has been there for Kallie to lift up her spirits.

The character I know more about in this book is Claire. Claire is always on her tiptoes and is always up to some type of mystery, because of this, she generates a lot of suspense in the book.

This book uses a lot of inner thinking and flashback because the main character, Claire, has dreams and flashbacks of things that happened in the past.

My book follows a linear plot because it's in chronological order and it doesn't have a flashback.

There is a lot of suspense because the book is about a dream a girl had about a bomb going off at a high school and when she wakes up she tries to find it before it's too late.

The theme of my book is right now is that always trust your gut.
When you trust your gut you're probably right.

So currently what happened is the main character in my book got his dad and brother to bust his friend Maria out of a drug trafficking house. Now they're going to tell the police about it.

What makes people good readers is when they read clearly and out loud and with enthusiasm.

This is the actual book I've been reading but it's a guy named Carlton who's a misanthrope also who's Dad got kidnapped and he goes on this to rescue him. While he is on his way to save him, he meets this girl who helps him. Then he ends up liking her.

So basically these outlaws start a fight with the cops of like the medieval time so their all fighting with swords.
