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.

  1. Hi Michael
    You are including a lot of detail in your posts, which is great, and you've really got involved in your reading. You could take a little more care with checking your work though, as the errors made it difficult for me to read and appreciate your post. You've got good ideas, so make sure that they're presented accurately.
