Pages: 210-326

There are a lot of things that this book and  movie so different.  By watching the movie i indicated a lot of differences.  I depicted that Tibby seemed more innocent in the book than in the movie.  Part of it was because you could actually see that Tibby is pretty much goth and has piercings and is allways seeming down.  In the book they made it seem like Tibby is not the odd one of the group even though she kind of is.  In the movie when the four girls meet to have the ritual and declare the rules of the pance they go to a fashion department but in the book they go into a school.  One of the major differences from the book than the movie is that kustos' and Lina's grandparents hate eachother but in the book they are friends. This changes Lina's whole lifeline. One of the other things i spotted is that Eric seems to be into Bridget a lot more in the book than in the movie. I guess that is because you could see him watch her.  Im glad they didnt do the freak dancing seen.

question:  If you had to be one of the charecters and live the exact same timeline that they did who would it be???

(i did this as a seperate post but it didn't show)SORRY!!!

READING GROUP #2

Title: Traveling Pants
By: Ann Brashares
Time:3 1/2
Pages: 110-210

I think Tibby is being really mean to Bailey.  Sometimes I think Tibby forgets that Bailey has Cancer and says something rude.  I know Bailey is a brat but that is probably because of what she has and is going through.  Bailey is upsessing about Tibby because it is probably the only friend she has had and she doesnt know how to handle it.

I am really getting bad vibes from bridget.  I don't think that it is even possible for her to go out with the soccer coach.  I don't know if it is just me but i think that it is really gross that bridget tried to freak dance with Eric.  He is so much older than she is she really needs to back off becasue she does not have a chance.  

Do you think that Bridget has a chance with Eric????

I don't think that she does because sooner or later Eric will find out that she is younger than she said she was.  She is also trying to hard and guy's dont like girls who are really agressive.

-OR-

Do you think Eric knows that Bridget is trying to get with him?

I think that he thinks that she is just teasing him but i think that later in the story he will realize that she is actually serious about him and talk to her about it.

Time:2 1/2
Pages: 0-110

Total Pages This Week: 110 pg.

   What a girly book!  Sometimes this book is hard to follow because in the story there a four girls; Lina, Tibby, Bridget and Carmen and they are all on trips during the summer and it switches off story to story.  Lina is in greece.  Bridget is at a soccer camp. Carmen is at her Dads house becasue her parents are devorced and tibby is working at a store called wallman's. They are typical girls just finding there way in life.

I predict that Carmen's story will be like the movie parent trap.  Since Carmens parents are divorced Carmen switches off from her mother to father and when she goes to her fathers house this time he has a fiance and two kids.  She does not like them. And that is how the movie starts a girl doesnt like her divorced parents fionce. She eventually kicks her out.  Carmen has two choices to be happy for him or to get mad and try to get his future wife out of the house.

 My question is:

How do you think Carmen will take the sittuation with her parents???

I think she will try to talk to her Dad about getting married.  If Carmen really doesnt like her she might try to prank or do something so that she will not marry Carmens Dad.  Carmen told her mom right away over the phone that her dad was getting married so it seemed kind of important to Carmen.
