Harriet's Hare by Dick King-Smith

significant- i think this book is important because it relates to many stories and to our lives and this book is something that you would really like to read because its really funny and cool.

perspective- this work was created by Dick King-Smith.


evidence- this story is not claimed as a true story because in the book the rabbit "Wiz" talked and animals don't talk.
i think i support my thoughts by reading some sentences more than once so i can really know was the book is going to be about.
and be right.

connection- i think that this book relates to my life because i love animals and I've been to farms allot and on this story Harriet lives on a farm.This books history is that its old so its been passed on and a lot of people have read it and it popular.


supposition- the prediction i can do based on my information is that the hare and Harriet are going to become good friends.
i think what would happen if i applied this to a new situation is that it would seem weired because maybe their two different kinds of book/situation and it wouldn't make sense.

Cam Jansen and the mystery of the Babe Ruth Baseball by David A. Alder

Perspective- this piece was created by David A. Alder and Susanna Natti, I would explain to a 3rd grader that this book is mainly about a girl and a boy named Cam Janson and Eric Shelton that stoled a baseball signed by Babe Ruth and their trying to figure out who stoled it.What inspired me to create this was that i just read a couple pages and i liked it, and i thought it would pretty interesting to read this book and see if i can learn anything from it. Also it inspired me because i like baseball and i wouls want to learn more from it



Significance- I think that this relates to other peoples lives because when someone really really wants something and its valuable or expensive they would do anything to get it. Or if someone has a favorite football player they would want a football signed by its favorite player. I chose this piece because I like baseball and I thought i would like it . I think that we should care about this problem because it was wrong for them to steel that baseball card. I think that consequences are things you have to do because you did something bad.I think what the author is trying to say is that stelling is never the answer to something that you want and that, that brings consequences.



Evidence-I think what weakens the argument is that everyone is trying to look for the baseball and that Cam and Eric are getting more nervous because they think their going to have to pay some consequences and so they want to forget about them stelling the baseball and pretend that they didnt stoled it.
What has already proven is that the Babe Ruth Baseball was stolen.
but they really dont know who stoled it.



Connection- This event still effects us because now theirs a lot of people stelling and because of that that still affects our lives.
This connects to other subjects ot dicsciplines because their (teachers)
sometimes telling us and talking to everyone about not stelling.
I think that my attitude and actions effect myself because i always try to have things good but sometimes they come out wrong so i think to my self that what i did could of been so much better.


Supposition- I think that if i applie this to any other new situation it wouldn't make sense because what if its not the same situation/problem.
What would be different if no one stoled is that their would be more trust in the world adn you didnt have to worry about your stuff more than you do today.
If this took place twenty years time period it would be different because their would be more new stuff in the fute than today.i could of have changed this piece by being more carefull and like more security.
