 It was a one afternoon on a friday, October 26, 2012, and I just came from school with my friends. I was wearing my favorite shirt that day and my jacket. My friends and I were so excited to go to the Halloween Dance at our school. My friends and I were getting ready our hair perfect and getting nice clothes to wear. I was 13 when I went to the halloween dance and we were so excited we wanted to go there first, but people would just push us away! The Dance stared at 6:30 and we had a lot of fun that friday night.


"What time should we go?" asked Regilyn.

   "Idk let's go early." said Kirstyn.

"But people will start pushing us!" said Regilyn.

   "Why can't we just go a little late?" said Nerissa.

"Okay" said Kirstyn and Regilyn.

   "We should get ready now!" said Kirstyn.

"Wait let's do our hair first." said Regilyn.

   "Ya let's do that then we change!'' said Nerissa.

"I can't wait for tonight!" yelled out Kirstyn.

   "Me too it will be fun!" yelled out Regilyn.

"Yup let's go to the Halloween Dance now!" yelled Nerissa.


What I learned is I can remember from the past what happend and write about it. I thought of the conversation with my friends that I had after school, and I tried my best to remember. I wrote the conversation down on lined paper, so I could write perfectly. Now all I need to do is type everything on the computer on blogger, and that's what I learned.

Call it Courage

 The person that wrote call it courage is Armstrong sperry. Mafatu lives on an island and he lives with his mom and his brother. When mafatu was 3 his mom died at sea. Then When mafatu was 13 he started to take care of himself and some with his brother. Mafatu was getting bullyed by his brother because mafatu is scared of the water that sounds like thunder thats's how mafatu's mom died. Mafatu's brother keeps calling his coward and not being brave mafatu was getting upset so he started thinking that he should run away from the island so he went on a conu with his dog uri and he pateld away. When mafatu was dar away the sea god mona told mafatu something. The next day mafatu realized a island he found so he went straght to that island and he tried looking for other people but he coulden't see so mafatu climbed up a mountain and he tried to look for a hut and mafatu did so he climbed back down and looks
.




The Theme

  The theme..when Mafatu was 3 years old mafatu's mother died. Mafatu's fear is the sea mafatu wasen't that brave enough. His big brother keeps calling him coward and he's not brave. Mafatu didn't want to get made fun of by his brother. Mafatu becomes braver because of all the things happend is the book.




I think 7th graders and other people should read Call it Courage because it's an adventure book it's maybe good for people who likes ro go on adventurs with there dog or something. Call it courage has some words u can't understand so try to sound it out. Tell other people about the book like tell them it's a adventure book. My favorite part was when mafatu was saving his dog uri from this big shark.
