Historical Fiction Progect
In Esperanza Rising, I learned what a good historical fiction book is. A historical fiction book is a book that has true facts and is about something that really happen(d)(s) Such as immigration. “One of the table legs was uneven and had to be propped up. The walls were patched and pealing.” That is a quote from the book. “We make less money packaging asparagus than you do picking cotton.” That means that they are REALLY worrying about the amount of money to survive on. “The soft, mewing, orange kitten in her arms.” Of, course there had to be some good writing. “The grapes were ripe, the purple fruit bulging with indulgence.” Even though I am not a big fan of depression, Esperanza Rising is a really well put together book.

I agree that depression books are a little boring, but, you’re right, it is actually a nice book. -c16km

I loved how you told about descriptive language. The way you told about the book really impressed me. I LOVED the end.

Hi c16rc?
Let’s start with the positive!
OK, it was a well written paragraph and good closing sentence… it reminds me of mine. (Which is good, I’m ready for my closeup!
I think you have a really good voice,
one tiny winy pointer is that maybe you could put the page numbers of the simile and also you should not explain so much, we’re not dumb!
See ya!
Guess who?

I don’t understand why you put the kitten line in your paragraph (besides the fact that you like kittens). The other sentences explained how poor they were, but the kitten line was just stuck in there with no explanation about what it had to do with the story. I did like the last line about the grapes. It was a good choice to show the good writing about the book.

c’mon!
