Recently in Humanities class we started with the literature circles for different books. My book is named 'Thundercave' written by Roland Smith. We just did the second literature circle that was assigned for today, Tuesday, 9th November.
My group's discussion helped me understand the novel/story better when we discussed about the characters such as Jacob and Sam. Jacob is the main character of the story and he is quite interesting. As he makes a plan to escape to Kenya, to find his father. Sam is Jacobs step father and akts in different ways. Sometimes he can be mad and stroppy, and sometimes he looks like he is a very nice man. We also discussed if it was a good idea for Jacob to go to Kenya, and also what we would do if we were him.
I did not make very much connections, because the story did not relate that much to my life. Only one, on the second. Because there my passage was based on the part in the book when Jacob takes of the necklase he got from his grandfather. It said he felt uncomfortable. I have the same feeling when I take of the necklase my sister gave me. When I have it on it makes me feel safer and it feels like my sister is so close by!
While I read the story, lots of different thoughts came up in my head. Some predictions for what will happen in the rest of the novel, and also questions for what will happen next. For example, one prediction is that Jacob will find his father in Kenya. Another is that when Jacob is on his journey to find his father that he will have trouble. Maybe he will find someone to help him, and maybe he will lose his bike again (it got stolen and then he found it again). While I read the story thoughts flew through my mind!
Thank You for reading my blog! I hope you enjoyed reading it and will follow me along as I post!
