In the story of Almost to Freedom I learned that Ms.Rachel and her daughter Linda are trying to get to her dad and when they get to her dad they travel in a boat and they reach a little town and go to a store nearby. Soon the owner from the store gives them a secret room to stay in while they go to an other freedom part. After some days Mr. Henry and Ms.Rachel with there daughter Linda were in there basement and suddenly two men came down the stairs and tells them that if they wanted to go to North freedom with them and they all answered of course YES. The author had the ideas to write this book because he had gone to a Museum of International folk Art in New Mexico; SantaFe.In 1800s through 1900s there was a display of black rang dolls. Also the author wrote about many people that went to freedom and never came back to see there family. No person knew about the entire system of escaping the way Ms.Rachel and Mr. Henry with there daughter escaped. People that were caught going to freedom were returned to there master and were punished severely. Some slaves that worked for the master had reached to freedom

Cesar Tall Tales by charles smith



When I first got this book I though it was going to be boring because the picture did not look interesting. When I started to read it, it was starting to make sence it was about a girl that wanted to play basketball with some boys but she was afraid that they did not let her play with them so she put on a hat and looked like a boy. Then she asked them if she could play with them and they said yes they choused her last because she was shourt. when they started to play they did not pass the ball to her. They tould her to be defence then they pass it to a person but she got in the way and got the ball she shots at the court and makes it. Then everyone was suprised that she made it now that they saw her skills and they startedto pass it to her more often they took a break. Later someone asked her ''can you dunk'' and she did not know what it was but she acted like she knew , one of the boys tould her, she tryed to dunk it and made it but when she landed her hat fell some kids said ''No way.''

By Walter Dean Myers
The book I read about was about jazz. Jazz was popular back then and it still is. They hear it all the time back then. I think jazz music is interesting. The intersegment that the jazz people play that I think jazz. is interesting is a piano because I like how it sounds of it .When they play jazz they us intersegment and different ones. Jazz music has a nice rhythm not like the after ones. Lots of Africans love jazz. They stared play jazz in 1800 and they are still play jazz today. That is my summary for the book

WHY MOSQUITOES BUZZ IN PEOPLE’S EARS


One effect of this story was that the mosquito would be buzzing in people’s ears saying things that would not be true. The mosquitoes had told the iguana do you want to hear a joke and the iguana had told the mosquitoes tell me anything you want either way I’m good in anything. So then the mosquitoes had told the iguana and then the iguana did not want to hear anything so the iguana had put two sacks in his ears so he would not hear he mosquitoes voice. And the iguana was grumbling to himself that had passed by a python. And the snake went Kirk down the rabbit’s hole and home and the rabbit had gone away to somewhere else. And then the crow was crowing out loud and when the crow yells crow cue it means that danger is coming there way. And the monkey was so scared that he was jumping away and he had step on one of the branches and it had fell in one of the new born owlets head and he was already dead and the monkey did not stop for anything to look would had happen to the owlet’s the mom owlet was hunting for food for her babes. And then all the baby owlets had told him that it was the monkeys fault. And the monkey had caused a big trouble.
