We had a great meeting last week. We had the same number of people, but some of the girls were new and some of the girls who had been here before were on vacation so they weren't able to make it. The snacks we had were really good. Panda Express provided some wonderful ragoons with sweet and sour sauce. They were really nice and gave us a great deal and threw in some fortune cookies. I love fortune cookies.
There was a word scramble with words from the book for everyone to do as they came in. We went over the answers then started to discuss the book. We talked about what makes a real friend and how to be one. We decided that being nice to someone, sharing with them and not judging them all make real friends. Minli was a real friend to Dragon when she asked the Man on the Moon Dragon's question instead of her own. We discussed a couple of other things, but overall our discussion was a bit shorter than usual. It worked out though, because we had three books instead of two to choose from. They were
Black Beauty Set in Victorian London, the novel follows the shifting fortunes of a horse as he moves from owner to owner. Narrated by the noble Black Beauty himself, the tale offers an animal’s perspective of the world, and highlights the thoughtless, even cruel treatment animals endured during that period.
King of the Wind, Sham and the stable boy Agba travel from Morocco to France to England where, at last, Sham's majesty is recognized and he becomes the "Goldolphin Arabian" ancestor of the most superior Thoroughbred horses.
Meet Felicity is an American Girl book. The first in the Felicity series, this book is about a horse that has a cruel owner and a young girl's desire to save him.
The almost unanimous vote was for King of the Wind. I'm really exicited about this book. It's a really good book and a fun read.
The next meeting is on August 12, 2011 at 3:00 pm in Community Room A.
I hope to see you there!
