The Circuit

I have finished reading the book The Circuit.  I thought it was a good book for the theme of multicultural literature because it talks about why a Mexican comes to the U.S so they can find a job and for the kids so they can go to school. Then the immigration comes  to his school if you want to know  want happens next then you will have to read it. Jesus

El Cayo By:Yecenia

Our language arts class is reading a book called El Cayo. We're reading it because it goes with our new theme about stereotypes and racism. The main characters are Philip and Timothy. Philip is a young white kid and Timothy is an old African-american man. It takes place on a boat and on a mysterious island. The problem is that their boat sank and Timothy and Philip got separated from the group and ended up on a stranded island. An important event that happened so far in the book was when their boat sank and another event was when they were on the raft and Philip became blind. I kind of like this book but since its in Spanish its a bit harder for me. I would recommend this book to people who are not racist and have an  interest in World War 2.

    We are reading EL Cayo in class because Mrs.K is making us read it. The main characters are Timothy and Phillip. They are in a little island, trying to survive and they hope some one comes to save them. They got to the island because Phillip's mom wanted to get out of the Curacao and wanted to go to the US. But some one bombed the boat that they were in. Then Phillip got hit in the head so Timothy helped him and took him on to a big piece of wood. Then they floated in the water for days then they got to a little island. That is how they got to the little island. I  like this book because it is very interesting  and because it deals with relationships and racism.  I would recommend this book to people who live or lived on a island.

The Tequila Worm

                                              I have finished reading the book The Tequila Worm
                                                                      By:Viola Canales

   I think this book is a great book because this can happen to people in real life and its about a girl that want's to go to a school that is far away from her house so she gets her friend to help convince her parents to let her go. But when she goes to school she realizes she misses her parents but doesn't admit it.

    In my opinion this is a great example of multicultural literature because she talks about the religion in the book and she shows examples in how they did there religion and how they practice it.

      I would recommend this book to my parents or my friends because its a very interesting book of a girls life and it could show them how she does in her challenges.

Pacific Crossing

By: Gary Soto

After reading this book I think it was a pretty decent book because it has martial arts in the book. In my opinion my book is a good example of multicultural literature because it talks about the Mexican culture. I do not recommend my book because it talks more about the Japanese culture than the Mexican culture.

After I Finished reading RETURN TO SENDER

Hi its me Lili Tavares, After Reading the book Return to Sender by Julia Alvarez, I liked the book a lot.  It was very boring at first but then when you get in to it, it gets interesting and when it tells you something that happened and you don't remember reading that, then it tells you what happened that why its saying that, its cool.   In my opinion, my book is a good example of multicultural literature because it is a story about a family of Mexicans.   I recommend my book because its a very good book and its very interesting.

Crazy Loco

I just finished reading Crazy Loco by David Rice. I kinda liked this book. Its not the best book I have read but its not the worst. Its in between.There are other short stories in this book, a total of 9.  Since there are different stories, the end isn't the best and some are a bit confusing. But its still pretty good. I don't know if I'll read other books by this author, depends if  I find them worthy to read or interesting. This book is a good example of multicultural literature because it talks about the culture, it has the parts of a multicultural book. I recommend this book  because its still a pretty good book.

Esperanza Rising 2

I finished the book Ezperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan. After reading this book I think it is a awesome book.  I liked the end it was a happy ending, the end was how it was supposed to happen at the beginning.  In my opinion I think it is a good multiculural literature book because it shows how people suffer working in fields. I would recommend this book because it is really interesting.
