Private Peaceful

Here are some questions about the book we had read. We have more but just giving you a hint. The Book we are reading is Private Peaceful. It's a very interesting book.

  1. How does the narrator help the reader to feel warmth and sympathy for Big Joe in this chapter?

2.   After the butterflies the chapter begins ‘Big Joe ate…’ what do you notice about the tense of this chapter? Is it different from the previous chapter?

On the Mend Summary

Here is a summary I wrote on the book we read. On the Mend. My reading group has been working really hard on our work.

This story is about K2 the kiwi. When K2 was born he injured his leg and it was pretty bad. As time flew by he learnt to walk on one foot but he needed support with his Bill. He was kept at the Whangarei Kiwi House. When he grew up he was taken to the Auckland zoo to be checked if he could live in the wild. They had options but they went for the impossible. Operating a K2s leg. K2 had support from the BNZ kiwi trust and the from the council. His first operation was successful but the screws were loose. So they booked another operation a month later and it was a real Success. It was a huge improvement, or tho he improved, he could never walk entirely normal again.
