This book talks about how two girls named Valerie and Savanna try to work things out . Savanna tries to work things out because she was in a near fatal accident .

For all the hurtful things Savanna had done to her she felt she deserved to be in that accident . Valerie was so happy that she didn't need to worry about Savanna tormenting her for two months . Then a surprise had happened . Savanna came to school the next . She wanted to say sorry to Valerie at lunch time , but had soar throat from all the pain. She needed someone's help to get around the school and surprisingly volunteered . Savanna and Valerie had then started to get closer and began to be friends .

I think ''The True Colors of Friendship'' can help with friendship problems . This is especially dedicated to all the teens / pre-teens who have trouble working things out with others . This book can be rated as a drama . This book talks about how both Valerie and Savanna overcome their differences as best friends.

Sample Chapter

SAMPLE CHAPTER

It's 1995 and most high schoolers are worrying about prom , graduation , maybe even socializing with others during the summer , but I'm not . I have to worry about being tormented by some snotty nosed girl . Valerie Jones , my given name at birth , but in school I'm known as Val . I'm a sophomore who worries about a mean , snotty girl named Savanna Santiago , who's in the same grade as me . Savanna is a psycho maniac who almost gave me food poisoning . It all started in our kindergarten play . Savanna was a tree and I was an Ice Princess . She wanted my part because she thought that she was prettier than anybody else and I took it. I didn't do it on purpose . I even said sorry to her for taking her desired part. Isn't sorry good enough ? I mean it was also a sincere apology which came right from the heart . Savanna got Castor oil and White Vinegar and put it in a cup with Capri Sun . She gave it to me before the play started. It had a tangy after taste , but I still drank it . When I was strutting my stuff on stage I started to feel a little light headed. Then I felt some of the left over taco from dinner last night in my throat. Then out it came . Everybody in the audience squealed . I then fainted because of my dizziness . My mom called the ambulance on the double, trying to get a grip of me . They took me away to the hospital and checked my temperature . I was fairly normal , but then started to puke again .It felt like a mini sea bringing violent waves across my stomach. I landed in the doctor's office . The doctor had said " For a few hours you will experience drowsiness , nausea , diarrhea , and vomiting . My mom had told me that the doctor had said that when I got home . But all I heard at the doctor's office was "For a few blah , blah , blah , experience , blah , blah , blah, blah ". All that talking gave me a humongous migraine . I couldn't eat anything nor drink because of my food poisoning . I felt highly dehydrated and I felt the need to eat , badly . My mom had to do a daily check with me to see if anything went wrong .My mom had gave me some pedialyte and told me to drink it slowly. Two days later Savanna had confessed to me and my mom that she put Castor oil and Vinegar in the juice so I wont be able to perform and take my place as the Ice Princess.

For years she has still bothered me and didn't even get the chance to say sorry . I bet she doesn't even remember of what she did in the past and still taunts me . Until she says sorry I will not forgive her and get back at her . Then one day my revenge had took place , but I wasn't the one who committed it . What will happen to Savanna ? Will she even remember the past ? Will she even remember me ?

Expository Writing # 2

1. I think that I am among the fifty four percent of people who believe in extraterrestrial life . I say this because in life there are unexpected wonders in the world that we dont even know about . So it can be possible to have another form out of our world .

3. Monitoring radio signals in space will help us find life forms . I say this becaus signals monitor sounds so if they hear anything unusual they can have proof there are other life forms in space.

Writng Lesson #1

Reading Response
#4. Galdikas is motivated by more than a scientific curiosity about a oragutangs.In the article you can tell.For example, Galdikas and her Dayak Crew helped raise orangutangs for eight years and put them in a captivated forest to keep them safe.
Writer's Response
#3.I think the writer talked about the plight of the orangutans before introducing us to Galdikas because she trying to do a cause and effect theme.For example,the oragutan population had plummeted from an estimated 180,000 to 27,000 and then introduced us to Galdikas to show how she tries to save the endangered orangutans.
#5.I remember when I was about seven, I was living in the projects and I had went to brothers friends house and then I didnt know she a dog so the dog came out and started chasing me . I was horrified and ran around the building corridors(hallway) until I can find the closest stairway exit.As I was behind the stairway door I started to feel the adredeline rushing through my heart.Then my brother found me and took me back upstairs to my apartment.So the whole point of this story is to warn to always know what coming a head of you.
