Shiloh

This week we read a book called Shiloh. It was about a boy who got attached to a dog. The man is mean to the dog so the boy tries to buy Shiloh from him. Later in the book the dog gets hurt and the boy has to hide him, before the owner kills him. He makes a deal with the man and has to work really hard to buy the dog. Finally, after a lot of torture he lets the boy have the dog.

After we read the book we did a double bubble map comparing the differences in the book and the movie. 16 of us like the book better because it has a lot better descriptions and information. If a book had a movie to go with it...which would you prefer? The book or the movie?

Most of us said we prefer the movie. However it might depend on how good the book or movie is. Mrs. Braymer usually prefers the book!
