For my second outside reading assignment I read the novel Crispin (by Avi) again. This has quite a few characters and I'm going to describe the protagonist, antagonist, and the main events that have happened so far. The protagonist is a teen named Crispin. Early in the story we find out that his mom has just died and his dad left them when he was young. This event tries to make us empathize and feel sorry for him. But later in the story the antagonist, John Aycliffe, declares him a "wolf's head," which means he is no longer considered human and if he is found he will be killed. Hearing this, he hides with Father Quinel in a church and eventually tries to leave the city hoping that he will be safe in a place that has more people. After leaving his home town he decides to stay in a forest to keep safe from search parties. These are the main events so far and this book makes me wonder what will come up next.

Hey, what's up Cam?
My names Sam and I'm currently going to the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota. After I finish my program, I will be licensed to teach English! Crazy, I know...
Anyways, I wanted to start reading your blog because it is always fun and interesting to see what people are reading in high school. It sounds like you found a fairly good book; I love books about escaping and hiding in the woods. In a way, it reminds me of a Huckleberry Finn-type of adventure story.
Talk to you later-
Sam
