I just got done reading El Cayo.  It was a good book. It was about a black man  and a white kid who get lost at this one island.  This was happening during world war 2 when Germany wanted to take over Holand. I would recommend this book because it has a lot of adventure.  The theme i thought was important was racism because it was about our topic. Jesus

El cayo

I am reading the book El Cayo by Theodore Taylor. We are reading this book in class because is part of our unit. The main characters are Timothy, Phillip and  Stew Cat. This book is happening in a island. The problem is that they are in a island and Phillip can't see and he is with Timothy and he is black but they get along. They want to get save but where they are no air-planes pass by there.  They learn how to live there and it has been like 2 or 3 month's. When they're living there, there was a hurricane and one of the main character dies that is Timothy. Phillip is by his self in the island with Stew Cat.  By Ana  

El Cayo 2 Amanda

We finished reading El Cayo by Theodore Taylor this week. After reading it I think this book was good.  Something I would change about this book is that Timothy wouldn't have died. So Philip wouldn't be by himself. I thought the ending was good because they ended up saving Phillip. The theme that I thought was important to the book was relationships because Phillip and Timothy had to learn how to become good friends, so they could help each other to survive.  I would recommend this book because it was really interesting.

We finished reading El Cayo by Theodore Taylor in class this week.  This book was good because it was in an island and they were stuck.  I would change that they got saved earlier so that Timothy could have got saved and been rewarded by helping Phillip.  The theme that is most important to me was relationships because Timothy had to get along with Phillip.  I would recommend this book because it's interesting.

el cayo

We finished reading El Cayo  by Theodore Taylor in class this week. After reading I think that this book was a good book. I would not change a thing about this book. I would read other books by this author. The theme that I thought was most  important to the book was relationships because without  relationships the characters would not be able to live with each other and understand each other. I would recommend this book because it was a very descriptive book.

El Cayo by:Yecenia

We finished reading El Cayo by Theodore Taylor in class this week. After reading the book I think this book was pretty good. The only thing I would change would have to be the end. I think it would be better if the cat was the only person that survived.  I don't think I would read any more of his books just because they're not what I would typically read. The theme that I think suits this book would have to be relationships just because they had to work together to survive in the island. Philip had to learn not to be racist and judging people by skin color. I  recommend this book to anyone who's against racism.




Yecenia

              We finished reading the book El Cayo by Theodore Taylor in class this week. After reading this book I think it was a pretty good book. I wouldn't change anything about it because I liked how the author made it. I would probably read another book by this author for a read aloud in class. The theme that  I thought was most important to the book was, relationships because Phillip and Timothy learned how to get along. By helping each other like when Timothy helps Phillip because he is blind. I would recommend this book because it tells you how to not be racist and it tells you that being a different color doesn't mean to be racist.

EL CAYO

We are reading El Cayo by Theodore Taylor. Its a Spanish book it means a very small island. We're reading this book because of our unit about racism and friendship.  The MAIN CHARACTERS are Phillip an 11 year old American boy, Timothy a tall, very old, African American and Stew Cat a black and gray cat. SETTING is in the island. PROBLEM Timothy, Phillip and Stew Cat are stranded in the island with limited food and water. EVENTS world war 2 is started and Phillip's mom wants to go live with her parents till the war ends. The next day they got in the boat they got bombed and Phillip got separated  from his mom and he got hit on the head very bad. He ended up with a African American stranger and turned blind cause of the hit on his head. I like the book so far it seems long cause we read it slow a chapter a day. I would recommended to people that like strange books about the war.                  LILI T.                  

Habia una vez una Quinceanera

     I have finished reading the book Habia una vez una Quinceañera by Julia Alvarez. After reading the book I think it is very good book to people who what to learn about the Quinceañera.  I will read other books from this author. In my opinion this book is a good example of Multicultural Literature because it has all  the parts that it needs and it talks about a true Latino event. I recommend my book to people who will like to learn about Quinceañera.  Ana
