Mrs. Burnham's Classroom

As you start to read your book you will have a first impression of the characters, the setting and the plot. What is your first impression of your book?

A Final Word:

Hopefully you can all see that most people have a hard time 'getting into' their books. The nice part about classics is that they are guaranteed to be a pretty good read and most of you have read far enough to find that out. Enjoy your book and be ready to dig out some details for the next blog entry.

You have been hired by CNN to do an interview of your main character. Post three questions you will ask in your interview.

A Final Word:

The CNN news team is very impressed with your questions, the only problem is they are not always sure who you are interviewing. Please remember that your audience does not know what book you are reading and the name of the character that will be interviewed.
