Book club questions

I’m reading “ I survived the Joplin tornado” .

My favorite part of the book was when the tornado hit because it was the main part and there’s a lot of adrenaline. I could picture the parts, and the stuff that was happening in the book. I thought it was really fascinating and I looked up a picture of what the aftermath of the Joplin tornado looked like and it was crazy to see that they survived that.

There were two parts that stuck to me the most, which are the two major storms he was in. The first storm was when they were at a different place where they were originally chasing the storm, but then they were heading back to Joplin, and realized that the storm traveled all the way there. The tornado formed and destroyed all of Joplin. The first storm was a little more of a minor storm, and then the second one is really big and major. The minor one there was just a lot of wind and hail and the major one. There was a tornado and a bunch of rain and wind.

My favorite character in the book is probably Mr. Tucker because he’s brave and he has cool stories. I don’t really have a least favorite character.

I can’t really relate to any of the characters because I’ve never been in a major tornado like that. But I guess I kinda relate to Dex because when you’re young, I feel like you want to be with the older kids like he’s doing  with Mr. Tucker.

If I were to trade places with one of the characters, I would trade places with the dog because I do not want to be in the situation that any of them win in. He stayed home in the basement.

THAT’S ALL FOR TODAY!

book club update

HI FRIENDS!

I’m reading “I Survived the Joplin Tornado”. 🌪️

This is an update, so if you don’t know what’s going on… make sure to read my other blog!

So, after Mr. Tucker invited him to go storm chasing he was so excited but was worried his parents won’t let him. So they had dinner together and talked about how it was going to go.

Dex’s Dad was really interested and after he checked out his cool SUV he was kinda bummer that he couldn’t go too. He was really excited for Dex and was happy for him.

That’s all for today!

Book Club

Today we chose our book clubs. I chose the book “I Survived”.

I remember in 4th grade our teacher asked what our favorite book series was and I chose I Survived. Now in the yearbook it says our whole class’s favorite book. I chose I Survived because I like to learn about the past and I think it’s pretty cool knowing past natural disasters.
