View Grant's participation in the 6th Grade Language Arts class in Winfield. Thanks Mrs. Kersten!
Hello everybody,
Since most of you had the same questions, I'm going to answer them all at once.
Akash is just like any other boy who belongs in a poor family today. He thought he was being betrayed by the gods, Saraswati and Ganesha, because life for him isn't going too well. A family member dies, his family doesn't have enough money to pay for their farming land, and he almost gets arrested twice! Like I said, he's on a journey to get money for a good education and to keep his family's land. No one tried to stop him from doing this because Akash didn't tell anybody. I think my favorite character in this book is Ramesh. Ramesh is a man that gives Akash a job at his magazine stall and teaches him english. The reason I like him is because he is really nice to Akash.
Hope this answers all of your questions,
Grant
P.S. I didn't get this book at a book store. I got it on Amazon.com. How awesome, right?
Nice book talk, Grant! One question, though. You said he was trying to save his family's land. What exactly is he saving it from? Please let me know soon. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat book talk, Grant! I gave the class an assignment to comment on your blog about your book. They may have questions. If they do, I hope you will be able to answer them. Take care. Mrs. Kersten

ReplyDeleteI thought it was really creative how you chose I book about a boy from India? Is the boy from the book like any other boy there, or is it from a different generation?

Just found out the responses Grant was sending did not go through. Please let the class know there is a delay but responses are coming. We are still working out the kinks in attending class via blog. Thanks everyone!
DeleteNo problem. We are a patient group. I still can't believe we can communicate as well as we do!!! Sure is different from when I grew up.
DeleteHi Mrs Kersten,
DeleteThis is Grant. Just wanted to tell you that I posted my answers to the questions at the top. Thank you for letting me participate from India. This makes school work fun!
Great Book talk Grant! And I have a question,where did you get this book?
ReplyDeleteHi Grant that was very interesting. Was there any body trying to stop him from getting money for his family? Who was your favorite character?
ReplyDeleteHey Grant! I loved your book talk, and it was a great eye-opener to the culture of India! Just one question: What happened to his family's land?
