Boots Book Log Questions

Part 1—Create a list of five discussion questions (and sample answers) about the book so we can include them in our class discussions. You will be expected to lead a discussion with at least one of these questions. (Your sample answers should be six to eight sentences in length.)

5. RATING: Rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10. What qualities of a good book does this novel demonstrate or not demonstrate? Why did you give this rating? What was your favorite part and why? Who would enjoy this

Personally, I did like the book. I’m not normally a reader but, this book was very intriguing and had a lot of interesting turns to it, it kept me wanting to know the end. I, at first, didn’t want to read the book, and was going to pick the smallest book I could find, but after reading about the story behind this author and the book itself I went out and picked it up an haven’t stopped reading it since. It starts kind of slow

I do not know how to write this without sounding rude, careless or insensitive. I however did not enjoy the novel at all. It was overall very bland to me; I commend my professor for showing us how to speed read through the novel, to make sure we were getting the most book for our time, and that did help a little bit, however I was not nearly as excited about the novel as I am about Willa Cather’s life.

As the overall book, I actually kind of liked it because it was kind of hard to understand because they couldn’t use “I” and I like challenges. They had to use “We” instead of using “I” to explain they self or the story. The book was okay as a whole but still kind of hard to understand I got kind of irritated after a while, while I was reading the book because of the way it was written.

For the most part, the novel was very enjoyable. One aspect of it that I loved was that the storyline was extremely intense, which always compelled me to find out what would happen next. For example,

I was not really into reading at the time, but I remember that my teacher made us read for at least fifteen minutes at the beginning of every class. If we did not have a book there were many books from her library to choose from. I believe this was one of the first books that I read in her class, and think I chose this book in particular because it stood out. I mean the title itself already piqued my interest. I honestly did not think that I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, It was such a bizarre read with all the strange events and abnormal characters. And in a weird way, the strangeness of the story was what I really liked. I do not think I would have liked it as much if it was not for that. It was one of the first chapter books that I did not have to force myself to finish. This was also one of the first books I read that really got me into loving to read. I just loved getting lost in another world and I wanted to keep reading books that did that for me.

and I was sort of into it sort of not. I feel that I didn’t connect to any of the characters as much as I would have liked to. Despite the fact that I didn’t relate to any of the characters I did enjoy the book, this was probably my first drama

Your assignment is to read the book and answer a set of review questions. The questions will be impossible to answer without actually reading the book. The questions do not necessarily address the larger themes discussed in the book, but are intended to highlight interesting details, and simply force a closer reading of the book. I recommend that you keep the questions before you as you read. You will be asked to affirm that you have done your own work.  After completing the reading and the questions, you will write an essay based on the book. The essay question is found at the end of the review questions.

There weren’t really any emotions that were evoked during or after the reading. Since this book was a non-linear, straight

I did indeed like the book a lot this time. It caught attention we'll and I got carried away reading it. It made think twice before entering the woods first if all, and second of all I learned to not get addicted to things. This can apply to anything like drugs, alcohol, television, and even sleep! This book many people should read, it could change their lives. They will no longer be addicted to things if they read this book and that is a promise. I rate a 9.5 out of ten. I took .5 off because it didn't really have a

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

I’d like to build on what I was saying about understanding the book, when I read it especially in certain chapters when something big happened, I could predict what was going to happen. This was a really intense book but after the theme I could understand it.

The first part of the book was really calm, when the setting was being described. When it got to the main characters, the tone started to rise more, and was kind of tense. I really liked the book, it was interesting because usually I don’t like when authors go on and on about the setting, but in this book it really went well and tied into the following event. It was refreshing not being overpowered by the setting description, and the use of dialogue. One of the only things I didn’t prefer about the first part if the story was the use of their language. It’s really hard to understand the text and still try to figure out what they mean when a character says: “An’,” or “foun’.” (247)
