10B Week 3 Discussion

[David, Teacher]

What are your top five "desert island books" -- books that you'd take with you if you were going to be stranded on a desert island?

List them all (you're welcome to list more than five), then tell us why you chose at least two of them. What makes them so great, and why would you not want to be without them?

Lastly, what's one more thing you wouldn't want to be without on the island (you can say anything except a boat!).

[Nuridin]

My 5 desert island books are

The Wright 3

The Catcher in the Rye

Mockingjay

The Hunger Games

Catching Fire

I chose the Wright 3 because that has been my favorite book since 4th grade. I like books like Mystery and Thrill.

I also chose The hunger games because i like the action books a lot. Its fun to read and i can vison the events in my head without a hard time trying to translate words

And the one think i would carry water.

[David]

1 Guidebook for marines
2 The bible
3 goosebumps multiple endings
4 dictionary
5 world atlas

Guiedbook for marines because it teaches you how to survive needing the very least and how to stay fit.

The bible because when you lose all faith you will have somewhere to look for all the anwers

If i could take one thing i would take a lighter

[Tiana]

I dont have 5 books that i like , but i do like the hunger games

[Amy]

1) Hunger games (All Parts)
2) To kill a mocking bird
3) the shadow dragon
4) The Odyssey
5)The Carrie Diaries

The hunger games because... well it just seems natural

to kill a mocking bird because it is one of my favorite books

The shadow dragon.. because i love a good fantasy

The odyssey because it sets the mood when you are in the middle of no where

The Carrie diaries, because it seems only fitting
to have some laughs

[Emily]

1.) The Odyssey, by Homer
2.) Romeo & Juliet, by William Shakespeare
3.) Out of My Mind, by Sharon Draper
4.) Missing May, by Cynthia Rylant
5.) There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom, Louis Sachar

I loved Out of My Mind because it's about a girl who has Cerebral Palsy, which is something that I am interested in. I also loved Romeo and Juliet because it's about bring love to each other, which I really love so much.

I would bring newspaper articles.

[Erica]

the books that i would take is :
1. Hunger Games
2.The Bible
3. Guides
4.The Odyessy

[Nicolas]

1.How to survive on a deserted island (edge books): To survive

2. The Torah: for religious guidance in this dire time,

3. H.G. Wells seven novels (Barnes and Noble Leather-bound classics)

4. The Ultimate Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (Barnes and Noble Leather-bound classics)

5. Stephen Kings IT

And I would have a radio to call for help

[Charles]

My top five desert island books:

1. The Alchemist

2. The Pact

3. I Am America

4. Chains

5. Charlotte's Web

I chose "The Alchemist" because it is a great read that clearly illustrates The Heroes Journey. I read it last year in ELA 9 and enjoyed it. I also chose "The Pact." This is a book with a remarkable true story about three young men who turn their life around for the better.

I could not be without these books because all of the characters teach you life lessons, and I think that is a wonderful thing.

One last thing I wouldn't want to be without on the island is food.

[Miriam]

1: the Odyssey
2: Romeo & Juliet
3: Alchemist
4: Farenhite 451
5: Pretty Little Liars (that's my favorite)

An additional thing I would take with me is food
