final review 4


Lost Boy, Lost Girl (escaping the civil war in sudan) is a book that is based on a true story. This story is told by John Bul Dau and Martha Arual Akech. This war is in Sudan. Throughout all the sotry you will listen to both Marthas and Johns point of view of what was going on. They lived in their normal lifes with their family unitl one day they started  to hear people dieying, so they both runed away. The 2 of them runed in difrent ways but they both happened the same thing which was that they couldn’t get a good and stable place to live because everytime they arrived somewhere they though they would be safe the camp would get destroy. Many terrible things happened like new diseases and many more until finally Martha moved to the USA, not long after John moved. They started to get education, live normal lifes without running away like they used to and in the end they started dating, got married, had kids and could life really happy with their families. I really liked this book also because you could compare the two stories at the same time and look what are the differences that they lived both in the same war only that in different camps or moving to different places, and see how they were meant to be together and found themselves. 
This book I recommend to a very large audience, because as it’s the point of view of a man and a women at the same time, men and women audience would really like it because it states both points of views and many times you don't like books because its to girl stuff of boy but this one is a mixture of both. I would not recommend it to small child because the atmosphere is really hard sometimes and people who cant tolerate and are not mature enough would probably don’t like it.

feedback to peer 3.5

Daniela read the same book as me both by recomendation of Ms. Shawn. 

i think that the vocabulary words that you choose were really good and the deffenitions were  brief and to the point. They sentences were also good and made sense with the definitions below. The comparisons of the words were also good they were simple topics but topics which you used in daily life so that were easier to understand. The review was also really good, although I would add to it the recommendation of people who should read this book.




feedback gave to me, by Daniela Cañas:

i liked how she put effort in there definitions and made her sentences really clear and able to understand what word she used to replace it.i think it is a great job and the creativity she used to made the diagram was amazing i would never think about doing it actually like that. to improve their is not much actually just review some sentences that she didn't replaced the word i think in one but i really like her work over all
