Name: Lexi Alvarez Title: I Have Lived A Thousand Years
Author: Livia Bitton Jaclson Total Pgs this week: 40 pgs
Date: Friday April 4th Pages 1-40
This book makes me wonder about the title. I know that I have only read 40 pages but still I think that I would sort f get why it is called "I have Lived a Thousand Years". Ellie seems like one of those people that are not very confdenceand she just does not think she is pretty or good at much. I thought that she has a lot of feelings because she has cried aout a couple things now and puted about puting her bike in the hall and she just has a lot of emotions. I think that I would be scared if some police people came to my house in the middle of the night and took stuff from my house. I thougth that was very odd but it is part of the book and I just had to think of what they were really doing at their house just taking there stuff. I think that it is wrong that they are being sort of racis against Jews and only making jews do what they have been doing.
My FAVORITE sentance is "Will I ever again sit behind this narrow desk furrowed by a thousand pencil marks? Will I ever again share secrets and moments of hilarity with my classmates?" I loved this senatnce because I liked how she described the desk with a thousand pencil markings and a norrow desk. I love it when books describe and go more in depth on just one small thing. It just describes how she shares her secrets and moments of hilarity with her friends. I thought it was a good desrciptive sentance.
What do you think Ellie's overall personality in the book so far?

I agree with what you said i also think that Elli is afraid of what is going to happen next and also she is not confident in herself
I also think that sentence is interesting because it shows that she has pretty much grown up there and that desk has a thousand pencil markings
I think that she is very unsure about herself and what she does and she thinks that her parents like her brother better.
I think that like u said sh has a lot of opinions but i think that she doesnt understand a lot of whats going on. I think that she doesnt really tell her feelings out loud a lot and i think that she doesnt understand what is going on around her. I think that in a way she is selfish but i think she just doesnt realize what is hapening.
