Book talk #6

Title: The Christmas Pearl
Genre: Fairytale
Author: Dorothea Benton Frank

              It is about this woman named Theodora who is the one who keeps the family together. The family turned into a bunch of truculent knuckleheads. She brought them all together in South Carolina to celebrate. This Christmas to her isn't anything like any of her holidays as a child. The Christmas Theodora had someone speacial who heard her ask for help. With enough magic, and common sense to make Theodora's Christmas filled with love and alot of miracles that are ment to be. Theodora has a hard time as she has Christmas with the family, but soon finds something unexpected to happen.
            In the book she has to over come alot of different opsticals. She has trouble with her family because her family is not the same as it used to be. Theodora is not used to alot of the things that happen because it was not like that when she was a child. She ask for help, and an angel helps her by blessing her. Theodora doesn't know it, but she is close to the angel.
           I would like to request this book to people who like christmas stories, or stories that you think you can relate to, because with this book I know alot of people that may relate to Theodora's storie, or Life. She had to struggle to get her family back down to South Carolina, and in the end it was all worth it.

  1. Hi Kasey. This book talk is interesting, it doesn't sound like you. It is vague and general. So I'd like you to try again.
    More than a paragraph. Think essay. I don't want a plot summary, which is what you wrote. Write about how Theodora keeps the family together and what challenges she faces, how she overcomes those challenges. Include specific examples from the book. Describe Christmas and give me a specific explanation of the end. Due Weds. Ms. S
