Title; Money Hungry
Author;Sharon G.Flake

This is my first post for my indepent reading book.we are finished with book clubs right now but were not finished with reading.In my class nobody except debra is close to that goal i only have one book report.well the book so far has been great.the main character in my story is Rasberry she is what we,well I call a hustler,she sells food,and supplies to get money because she has a dream of buying a lexus,instead of riding in her mother's jacked up car.Rasberry is a girl who had a bad past who want's to live in the future instead of the streets,lookinng for food.Zora is rasberry's friend and one of her sales person,Dr.Mitchelle is zora's father who has something going on with Rasberry's mom(CharacterHunter).On the way home Rasberry hears old woman talk about how they have somone clean thier house that they pay them alot of money to do a good job,onn the way home Rasberry stoped at her Zora's house so she can tell her how to she and them can make money,but they just laugh at her(Historian).the words i had a problem within my book were Triflin it means to act in a careless manner,Heifer means a younng cow who doesn't have a baby yet(Wordsmith).I think that Rasberry is afraid of going back to being poor so she sells things to prevent that from happening(DeepThinker).i think in some ways this book is just like who am i without him because there are relationships coming up in the story now and i bet that there will be problems to.

Promt: When i compare some stories from Who Am I Without Him to Money Hungry,i see some similarties because there are relationships problems,For Example a girl from Money Hungry named Ja'nae brought a two hundred dollar leather for a boy she likes named Ming, In the story Who am i Without him? a boy named E robbed a rich house for money so he can go and buy a tuxedo,tickets,and new cloths so he can impress a girl he likes and other people.

Book Summary;the chapter started at page 209-220.the story waas about a father writing to his daughter about how he saw her walking down the street and boys hi fiving eachother.The father is in jail and he's writng to his daughter telling her how a boy should treat her and what kind of boyfriend she needs.So he makes a listr ofn what kind of boy she should and how boy's react to girls in many ways.

opinion; my opinion on this chapter was how a father was telling his daughter how she should get treatted by boys,and i respect that.

what suprised me was how did a father move away from his family.

Book summary;The book so far has been incredible.the book so far has a girl using a boy for money,Jewerly,and cloths.the girl is four months pregnant and her father wants her to sell it on a website for money or she can't live in her family's house.the baby's daddy is in jail, a boy who had a incident as a child has had him acting like a little child,and he's only fourteen.the girl uses him in bad ways,like when the boy said "i want your baby and i will buy it from u" at that time the boy took his life savings and gave it to her and she took it and said ok and ran off to buy new cloths for herself.she ends up hurting herself at birth because she promised the boy a baby and when she gave birth to it she had gotten chokin because she gave the baby to somebody that brought it from her online,i think she ends up dead.
