Question & Answer #1
Important Detail #1
Herk has lost his family to a bunch of lizzarks during an ambush when Herks father decided to leave the house. This reminds me of a part of a Batman movie where Batman's parents die at a circus or carnival.
Important Detail #2
Herk is made fun of by other newts because of the size of his legs. In class, sometimes I am made fun of because my size. Me and Herk are made fun of because we are different in size than others and we both share that feeling of sadness whenever we are indeed made fun of. The whole book is mainly about Herk getting his original legs from the Snake Lord.
Important Detail #3
When Herk accomplished his goal of retrieving his legs he felt extremely happy. This reminds me of when a holiday comes around because I always get excited and happy to meet my family members.
Question & Answer #2
So far I have read 32 books this school year. I am sort of happy that I have read this amount but I know I can read more than 40 books. My plan is to stick to 30 minutes a day at home and any chance I have to read for D.E.A.R. in order for me to read more than 40 books this school year.
