how is my life is different i will tell you.My life is different because in there time they didn't have house they had to make there house out of wood and also they didn't have stores like we did they had to make there stores every small.For real part if i was in there time of war i would felt sad because all my friend would have died and my family i love my family in thing in the world that's why i would not like to be in SAM time. 2Nd it was very cool in book club because we talked about are favorite part that we like about the storey and also we asked each other question about the story and graded each other folder its very fun in book club.

1. Tim's life is way different from mine.First of all I don't have an older brother that wants to go to war with someone.Second my dad didn't get beat up by Patriots!





2. My book club meeting went very well.We listened to our members of the group without any interruptions and asked questions when we didn't understand.Luis Cuchilla (one of my group members) gave us a good idea that when we're writing our notes to write down the page number on what we are writing about.My group got along great and there were no arguments but there were some disagreements.

Me and Tim live the same because We both have to lesson to are parent's. We both have a remodels like he has Sam and I have my dad. and We both have to sleep at night and my life is different from Tim because Tim doesn't have light or any stuff they made now like car's or any technology. If I live in that time I would have gone bored every day nothing to do but do chore's like cleaning the cow's dropping's,panting the fence and getting the egg's the chickens laid every day that my friend would not have been fun and that would have been hard work and I'm not that good when it comes to had work and that would have got me tired easily anytime. My book discussion went pretty good no one was rude and every body had favorite part in the book to talk about. and it was helpful one of them said some thing about the book at first I thought they made it up but I went back to check and fond out that I skipped a part in the book. no the only thing I change is that I would fond out what I skipped. no thoughts for my next discussion for my group.

1. It's the same in one way because Tim well I guess he's my age and he has to help his family around the house you know. And he Doesn't like to brake rules because well first of all he probably doesn't feel comfortable and he doesn't want his father to get mad. The reason he's a little scared of his father is because one time his father slapped Sam ( Tim's older brother) because he was mad at Sam. I don't like braking rules either because I hate feeling the guilt. Tim and I are different because yes he's a boy and another easy way is because he lives in the like 1800s. Another we're both different is that he has an older brother and I don't have one. Then I have also never milked a cow before. Sam and I are alike because I'm the oldest one in my family too. I also disagree with my except not as bad as he does. I also get happy when I see my family after a long trip to a place, like when Sam came home from collage and he had a lot of good news tell them. Also we're not afraid to tell the truth, even if we know bad things will come if we tell. We're different because he is already in collage and I'm in 5th grade. Also I do curse like Sam does. I do not brake rules and take a gun. I'm definitely not going to the war, ever. I don't get drunk with girls nor boys like he does and if I had to wear a uniform for war I would've changed into real clothes by now. I would feel weird I mean no TV, light bulbs, movies, refrigerators, stores, mall manly things we have now. But it might be good to have money with me because I hear things were cheaper back then. I just don't think it would be easy.

2. My group discussion went okay. One of the group members and I want to change books and the other two want to keep on reading. But the one who wants to keep on reading said something clever and said, why don't you read three more chapters and see if you are liking the book, but if not I'm willing to change. I really liked that idea. Our group is just three girls and one boy because there were too many groups that had just boys, but two of the girls in my group and said a lot, but so much the boy. I still have some questoins to ask though. Anyway it didn't really help me because we were all to busy taiking about if we should change the book are not. I would've changed my adtitude because tried to make them change their idea to keep reading. I hope my next discussen is better than before.

My life is different from the life of Tim because I would not have joined the patriots because I would have died in war. The 2Nd reason my brother and me don't milk cows and Sam and Tim do milk cows. The family of Tim lives on a farm and my family and me don't live on a farm we live on a apartment so as you can see my life is different from Tim's family.The same about Sam and me his that he liked to learn and I do to and my little brother also thinks I have all the fun and he does not but I tell him that I don't.I like living in my own time time because I don't think I would like milking cows but it would also be interesting to live in a different time.My book club discussion went well because my team members helped me understand what I did not understand. No I would not change nothing. I think my next metting would go good.

If i wolds live in those time i wold be a good life and a bad life at the same time because there would be patriots who would attack homes and other places.The patriots would go to your house and take your guns away so they can take them to war like when Sam stole the brown bess.In that life if you didint listen to the patriots they would hang you and watch you die.In those day"s you had to go too church evry sunday because it was the law.I think this book is intresting because its about war and has an intresting title.

If I was in the time that Tim was living in that would be very strange to me,because I could not imagine waking very very early in the morning going to the barn and making my own milk, because when I wake up I am basically a zombie.I can relate to Tim because I always do allot of work at home, and I always get in trouble with my parents just like when Tim gets in trouble by talking back to his father, and when I disturb.
