Reavelers- Final post

Final Response
Write a literature response to The Revealers showing how and when you used the reading strategies of reflecting, predicting, questioning, summarizing , and visualizing in your reading of the novel. Include page numbers for examples from the text. Refer to your Daybook if you need a review of the strategies.

In "The Revealers" you always had to reflect what was happening, because thats what kind of story it was, I stopped and thought about what was happening and reflected what just happened. I reflected a lot in the revealers for everyone, like when catalina wrote about herself (on page 69-71) and when Elliot wrote about himself (on page 91) and I especially reflected on Russel because he was the main character like on page 15 Richie pored root beer all over him, and that was very visual. The most things that were visual were when Richie was bullying Russel because when that was happening the author described it very visually. There was one more part where Elliott was dropped off the bridge (on page 55+) was very visual because when he landed the author said he hit the rocks hard. I started predicting what was happening when Russel said "bad bike" when Richie was there because I was wondering what would happen after that (page 9+). I started predicting things that might could of happened and only one came true after all my predictions, the first one because I predicted that Richie would "Kill him" as in bully him. I always summarized when I was reading because when I was reading I had to know what I was reading, after I read something I went over what I read. I didn't question because I didn't want to know what what happening, like if I wouldn't say "What will happen to Russel when Richie bully him? Will he get dropped off a bridge aswell?" I really don't like questioning.
