Reading Responses to The Book Thief and Studying the Torah


Reading Responses to The Book Thief and Studying the Torah

            I am still reading The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. I have also started my own literacy narrative, Studying the Torah, which is based on the 2 years I spent studying for my bar mitzvah. The following paragraph shows my reading/working log.
            9/17. 20 min. 9/18. 30 min. 9/19. 20 min. 9/20. 20 min. 9/21. 60 min. By the end of the week, I reached page 180 and started draft 2 of my literacy narrative.
            In The Book Thief, Lisel’s foster father has found out about her stealing of books. He promises not to tell Lisel’s foster mother as long as she does not steal any more books. In my literacy narrative, I explain the different methods of studying for my bar mitzvah. It also explains my speech and the story of Nadab and Abihu. Plus, I am currently typing this post, my cat Hester is laying on my keyboard, and he is the cutest thing ever.

  1. Jake, remember you need to do more than summarize, and work towards two fully developed paragraphs.
