I have 76 pages left to read
I am enjoying the book so far, it is getting to a very interesting part about a secret in the family that has been hiding.
The Independent Reading assignments have helped me become a better reader in the fact, that i read a little bit faster, and I am understanding what I am reading while I read fast, becasuse before I was a little bit more slower at reading.
The work has been worthwhile, becasue it has helped me, and also I have learned new words that I didn't know before.

"Akeelah and the Bee"

I enjoyed the movie alot, because it shows how hard you have to work, to achieve something that you reall want. The ending was sufficinet because one of them wanted the other to win, but it was fair that Dyland and Akeelah, won the national championship, since they have worked really hard to get the trophy. I would recommend this movie to someone else, since it shows hard work and dedication to something that we might want in life, or either achieve greater things. Word will help me better communicate better with people, it will also help me with my knowledge, but other than that words help you everywhere you go in life, express yourself better, and helps you in other class and it makes you achieve.
