I think that Enders game was boring and i did not like it.
I believe that Ender's Game was the best book because it kept me guessing about what was going to happen. I couldn't not see what was going to happen next.
me gusta el libro "Ender's Game".
Cheek, you have to really get into the book. to really like it
My favorite book so far was "To Kill A Mockingbird".
the best story i have read in my highschool years as a roncalli highschool student is the fine work of "To Kill a Mockingbird"
I think that the best book we have read so far is To Kill A Hummingbird
i think that to kill a mocking bird is my favorite book because it is an american classic and is an interesting story
cody is the sequel good.
i do not like reading
Was that becuase you read it in 8th grade, Bernadette?
My favorite book was To Kill a Mockingbird because Scout and the other characters kept the story entertaining and exciting. It also helped me learn a lot about racism.
My favorite novel is Ender's game because it has alot of thinking and critical thinking. Along with epic battles that make Ender think how to defeat the buggers in the future.
Good point Clayton. Good Point!
the most dangerous game because it was very interesting because a guy was being hunted
My favorite book out of all the books we have read thus far in my Roncalli career was Ender's Game.I thought Ender's Game was a spectacular movie because of the miraculous events that happen that you don't expect. I fell in love with this novel from the beginning of it till the end!
I think the best story so far in High School was Lamb to the Slaughter because it kept you thinking and kept you on the edge of your seat. The one time were i though it was the most exciting was when the detective said i think the clue is under our noses.
Masque of the red death was my favorite book because it had that synister(sp?) mood when they mentioned the clock and how the rooms were set up
Ender's Game is a great story telling the tale of a small boy named Andrew Wiggin. He would soon become a great leader in an intergalatic war.
To kill a hummingbird?
hahaa!
Well, to answer your question Ms. Striby, i thought that my favorite story i have read would have to be The Most Dangerous Game. I like the way that the villian was so evil and how clever the main character, i couldnt wait to see what trap he would come up with next.
i agree with Colin it was because it was cool.
My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird, because it exciting when they went to trial.=]
enders game was no good it was boring
My favorite book I've read in school is To Kill a Mockingbird because there was always something unexpected that happened. Sweet!! :p
i agree with patrick, i did not enjoy reading enders game at all
I really liked Lamb to the Slaughter. I like that fact that i would have never ever guessed that she was going to kill her husband.
EPIC Fail to the buggers..but it is kind of sad how people misunderstood them.
I didn't like Enders game because it didn't entertain me at all. I thought it was boring.
I think that the best story I have read so far in high school is "To Kill a Mockingbird". I enjoyed the story because the characters were interesting and the plot kept me reading.
Yes Brendan, we did read it in 8th grade and I liked it. I was glad that we were reading it again last year. But I think Mrs. Striby explained it better.
reading is my favorite thing in the WORLD!!! thank god for books, i love all books
Patrick, you are very dull then. I believe the book had a good story base and the sequel is great so far. I intend to read the sequel to Ender's Shadow soon.
To Kill a Mockingbird was very interesting and entertaining.
Cheek you dont like to read to you
Ender's Game was the best novel I have read in high school so far. I like this story because it was exciting and had lots of action. Such as when Ender fought the two boys that were bigger than him.
I agree. I also liked Lamb to the Slaughter. =)
Ender's game is the best enough said because of the non-stop guessing and the adventure of hunting the buggers and the nonsuspecting ending that happends
I agree with Collin, To kill a moking bird is the best book we have read.
You ARE CORRECT!!!!!!!
Clayton once again you blow me away with your way with words
moking bird?....
to kill a hummingbird cough cough collin was da best book ever. it was a classic
To Kill A Mockingbird was Terrible. It was kinda dull, the only good part was when Boo killed that guy.....yea
I agree with you Seth, it was interesting and exciting to see each new trap the main character set up to try and fool the general.
I agree in some parts. I believe that she explained the trial scene better. but Ms. D made it fun by letting all of us be characters in the story.
? whats wrong
hi jamie! =)
I also really liked Lamb to the Slaughter. I liked how we knew that she killed her husband, yet the cops did not know. So it gave a twist to the story.
I never read mocking bird book so I don't know what it is about. Fill me in please.
Another book I like is The Picture of Dorian Gray. It was and epic tale about a man so self-absorbed that he became immortal because he sold his soul to stay beautiful forever. Not a great ending though.
I liked Dead Man's Pocket. It was really suspensful and it was short. I didn't get bored reading it.
taylor obrien i disagree, it was by far the most decent thing we've read all highschool
BLOGGING!!!!!
"idk, my bff jill" HAHA! Get it? Because we"re not supposed to talk in internet slang.... I think I'm funny.
Anywho, as an actor, I have always enjoyed "brushing up on my shakespeare" as it is said in the theatre. I believe that actors that are well aversed in historical drama and master works actually are better on stage. If you have been doing theatre as long as I have and seen as many shows as I have, you can tell the difference between a trained actor who knows what their doing and an amateur. So I have always tried to read as many plays as I can.
So my favorite book/script we've read in our 1 1/2 years here at RH of S is Romeo and Juliet. It is classic! I highly advise that you all go out and read more Shakespeare, even just the Cliff Notes. Because when you know Shakespeare and other master peices of drama, people think you're really smart!!!
hi class of 2011 except for alex simpson who will graduate in 2012
Patrick, Enders Game rocked and you know it. that would be my second favorite book. Brendan is right, once you get into the book its awesome
hey tori! Whats up girlfriend?
hola hola!! So To Kill A Mockingbird ay?
WHAT!!!!!
Anthony Joseph that book wasn't any good compared to Ender's Game enough said

i agree with Bernadette, my favorite character was Scout. She was so curious about the trial.
Patrick is enjoying this blogging.
