Blog #4

                  Ralph Fletcher is a good author and a good writer. I truly love his stories but I am gonna have to choose two of my best. It was hard to chose the best so I thought it very carefully.  Now  here is my best one . 
               One of the best I thought was interesting was the, "First Pen". "First Pen" was truly AMAZING! I liked how the boy described why and what he liked about his very first pen. Even though people would think getting a pen is lame while the boy think it is cool. I think the boy is not normal but different. An example of the boy would be "I stared at my BIC, the cartridge filled with blue so dark it almost it was almost black." ( Ralph Fletcher, pg.44) This piece of writing was a great story!

              Another story I loved was "Bobby" was a sad but true story. I liked this story how the person talked and described about Bobby. I really felt bad for Bobby. I hope his family still remembers him and still cares about him. An dialog that I thought was very touching,"Bending down, I grabbed him firmly under both armpits, and  he made a happy gurgling sound, like a baby's idea of a song ,as I lifted his soft little body into my arms. "( Ralph Fletcher, pg.60)  This is a very touching story.


        These stories really are AMAZING!
