Summary:
Last day of classes Matthew traveled
to spend summer vacation and he would be back to study again in the fall. Matthew
and Gill had a science fair project on the rocks, so Gail had spent all her
summer for reading books about rocks and search for different rock samples. When
Matthew returned, he had changed his interests. He became sitting with the boys
only and he became playing basketball, too. However, Gail invited Matthew to her
room, which was painted by her father in the summer, because she wanted to show
him her rocks collection. He come and saw everything she had in her room. Then,
Gail asked him what he was doing for our project. He surprised first and then
he remembered that they all have a common project, but, unfortunately, he did nothing! Gail got so angry, but her mother advised her
to find other friends because her mother had always great substitutes and Gail
did. She made new relations, with Joyce who was a smart man because he did the
best science fair project in the school, and with Amanda who her mother died
when she was a little. One day, their teacher, Johnson, asked them about their
projects. First, Joyce's project was breeding guppies - the genetics -. Second,
Gail answered that its project would be about rocks. On the other side, Matthew
had never had any project yet. Finally, Because Gail was angry due to Matthew's
negligence, she decided to embarrass him in front of his friends someday. As a
result of this, Matthew did not accept her apology later, but she decided to
give him rocks project because he was the owner of its idea. In the result day,
each of them explained his/him project. But, as usual, Joyce was declared the
school winner. The beautiful thing there was Matthew forgave Gail and invited
her to visit his game.
Reaction:
In this book, I saw a lot
of forms of human emotions such as anger, joy, crying and others. Also, I
learned how to interact with each type rationally.
It is a useful book where
we are possible to utilize many skills to speak and quick reading because their
sentences are simple and easy to pronounce and to understand.
