elementary school book topic, pokes at Justin and Kristina Options

[Aoiro]

Nancy Drew and the Boxcar children are the popular ones.
What about Hatchet?

[technicolour]

^ Hatchet? I haven't heard of those...

[Aoiro]

You have not heard the book, or the children reading the series in Elementary?
@______@;

[technicolour]

lemme repeat myself.

i' v e n e v e r h e a r d o f t h a t b o o k.

or the kids reading it in elementary..

[Aoiro]

Never ever, eh?
That's kind of odd.
But the book is about a boy who gets stranded in the woodland of Canada, trying to survive.
His only tool, a hatchet.
They have two sequels, but either way, the boy gets out of the woods.
:3

[technicolour]

and that's for elementary kids?

whoa..

interesting. seems a bit too realistic for an elementary book.

[Aoiro]

Well, I read it in Elementary.
Maybe the teachers give it to their class when their ready?
Or when they're mature enough for it.
xD

[sm0kinm0nky]

Animorphs was my favorite, I watched all the shows on Nick until it ended - i have 10 books at home.

I read Goosebumps and watched it on tv.


Hardy Boys =D.




Dang Nick, FoxKids used to be really good -_-.

What about Hatchet?

I've heard of it, but it never really appealed to me.

[sadolakced acid]

hatchet by gary paulsen.

required reading.

doens't count as a series in my book, but sure.

[*salcha*]

I loved the Boxcar Children back then, I haven't stopped reading them until the summer of fifth grade.

Oh, and the Nancy Drew series, but I was too young to understand the book at points.

[*incoherent*]

i used to read the box car children and goosebumps.
now, i despise reading and never do my book reports.

[*tweeak*]

Wow. History. Religions. That was a piece of cake.

[trying to make this topic more alive...]

Ok. I remembered one series..and i swear...this is going to make you laugh.

It was Hank the Cow Dog. I was such a dork.

But they were good...

my history test was decent. it was AP tyle, so the answers were hard to figure out than the actually answers to the questions...if that makes sense

Nancy Drew and the Boxcar children are the popular ones.
What about Hatchet?

I f**king HATED THAT BOOK! we read it in 4th or 5th grade. Ugh. It was the first book I ever truly despised.

and that's for elementary kids?

whoa..

interesting. seems a bit too realistic for an elementary book.

It was pretty poorly written. And I wasn't frightened or whatnot. I'd read worse by that point

[technicolour]

But i still can't believe that was a book for little elementary kids. eh whateverrrr.

  i used to read the box car children and goosebumps.
now, i despise reading and never do my book reports.

Ha ha same. I used to love to read, and now...i just hate it. Partly because all the books we have to read are retarded beyond belief.

[*tweeak*]

Not nearly as bad as it sounds.

While I don't enjoy reading mow as much as I used to, I certainly just don't hate it. I just want my attention span back. And to read some decent books for class, also. The only one I liked last Year was The Great Gatsby

[technicolour]

Ugh we just had to read boring books. There wasn't anything special about them

Sure, To Kill A Mockingbird influenced the times and all..but..now days? It's just..slightly boring.

And then..we had to read some book called Deathwatch? Yeah..majorly retarded there too.

and uhm..

The Oddessy, sp?, by homer. AKA as The Oddity by my dad. That was just...stupid.

Great classics...but boring as hell.

[*tweeak*]

A lot of people loved TKMB, and I think I should have loved it, but it was the first book I ever had to annotate, so all the highlighting made it tedious

We read an abridged Odyssey freshman year in class. i was already familiar with it, so I read my own book during class instead

A Gathering of Old Men that year was awful

we had to read Huck Finn last year, which sucked. I didn't like it the first time we had to read if in 7th grade (we had to write an 8 page essay on it in 7th grade too, which I thought was the longest thing ever. And, to be honest, I don't think I've written anyhing that long since, and I'm a junior now.

[emazing]

Goosebumps and the Boxcar Children. [I read the whole series in second grade. :3]

[technicolour]

Boxcar children. -sigh- those were good.

But...we have to read huck finn, king arthur, the crucible..and other books throughout of high school life.


gag me.

[*mipadi*]

Boxcar children. -sigh- those were good.

But...we have to read huck finn, king arthur, the crucible..and other books throughout of high school life.
gag me.

Hey, The Crucible is a really good play.

[*tweeak*]

But the Crucible is awesome! Especially if you read it in class with an interesting teacher who reads as Proctor. A hot Abigail helps as well.

[technicolour]

Oops.

Well.

I've never read it. I was just naming the books i know we're going to be reading.

I saw the movie and the movie was alright, so, i suppose the book is going to be alright.


-shrug-

[*tweeak*]

We had to skip parts of the movie..I think. If we even watched it. I don't remember. Yes, yes we did. I'm getting it mixed up with Scarlet Letter- I'm not sure if he ever let us watch that one at all. I HATED that book. It had absolutely no point.

[technicolour]

^ THATS THE OTHER BOOK!

roar.

It didn't seem interesting the first time i picked it up...

well yeah..our teacher had to edit the movie a bit..apparently freshmen can't handle nudity well.

[*tweeak*]

We read it sophomore year, and could have handled it just fine, but he does more than enough things that could get him fired as it is, without showing movies with that stuff. Great teacher, but he often taught through perversion...kind of. I loved that teacher, even if he was an impossibly hard grader. I'm going to have him again next year, at least. See, I knew I took this 2 year IB thing for a reason.

Scarlet Letter was terrible. I couldn't keep enough of an interest to read it. I thought it was supposed to be about the affair, not the lack of anything at all interesting after the baby was born
