Shaken By: Eric Walters

In English we have started LitCircleGroups which is when a group of people get together and read sections of books, then discuss them together. Our class and a class in Oshawa are doing Digital Lit Circles, the difference is that we are going to post questions on our blogs and then the people in our group have to answer them in full sentences, by doing so we are expressing our opinions and then we discuss each other's answers. Today is the first discussion meeting on the first section of the book we are reading(Shaken by: Eric Walters). We read from page 1-44. Max is one of the kids that is in our group and lives in Oshawa. He has posted a question asking: If Joshua never met Naomi and she didn't come on the trip, how do you think Joshua would like the trip? Explain your answer. Well I will answer your very good question Max. To see our discussion so far come check out this link: LitCircleGroup

I think that Josh would be very bored, not having Naomi. Naomi is there as a sort of a thing that will keep him occupied. Josh seems like the kind of person who gets bored very easily. If he never met Naomi I think that I would not like the book very much, this is because I have a prediction that Josh and Naomi will get very attached to each other and what is a good book if it does not have some romance in it? It seems that Naomi really likes Josh,  Josh does not necessarily dislike Naomi, but would rather be alone. If Naomi didn't go on the trip I would think that half the book would most likely be very boring. It will be very interesting with Naomi, considering her personality. If I could ask Eric Walters 2 questions about the book they would probably be: Why put Naomi in the book? And why give her the personality she has in the book?
This is my answer and I hope it satisfies you Max and my other Shaken readers.

Your awesome blogger,
