Vampire Mountain


In the beginning Darren wants to leave to vampire mountain to change into a normal person. He is happy he is half vampire. He is a lot stronger and faster than a normal person. He can live longer but he ages 1 year every 8 years. They have to go on the journey to vampire mountain bare foot through the forest and the all the thorns on the ground.
The coding system was good but it was not that use full to me because you will waist more time than to actually read it and go back to the passage and answer the question. It helps but it will take too much time on the state test because we only get 45 minutes.

A child called It


I read about how the mom joined the den mothers. The mother would say he was a bad boy and make him stay out of the meetings. She burned his arm. Then tried to burn his back but he stalled enough time until his brother came. She acts different around his brothers but still like a reaper (look at the picture to the left).
The words I found are forbidden, whimper, tactic, obsession, and vowed. Forbidden means not allowed. Tactic means strategy. Whimper means to make a sound when you are sad or in fear. Obsession means to be in love with something or someone so much that you won't leave it alone. Vowed means a life promise
