Spring Break Reading Reflection


Hi blog followers,


So, I have continued to read my "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" book. The following I have read between March 23,2012 (regular reading class) and March 30,2012 (week of spring break).

I have had lots of time to read this week because I went to New York, so I got time on the plane and in airports to read. 

Chapter 1 questions, comments and predictions

Tibby's story 

Background info: Tibby is staying home and working at Wallman’s (a local department store).

I wonder why Tibby is the only one out of the four best friends that is staying home for the summer

Lena's story 

Background info: is spending the summer with her grandparents in Santorini, Greece along with her sister, Effie

I think Lena could have said that Tibby and Carmen have different builds in a politer way because it came off as an insult. I believe she didn't mean for it to be an insult

All four stories tied together

How is it possible that one pair of jeans can fit all four girls perfectly?

Do the girls really think it's a good idea to break into Gilda's (the place where the mothers all met while pregnant with the girls)? 

Chapter 2 questions, comments and predictions

Bridget’s story 

Background info: Going to a soccer camp in Baja California, Mexico

I predict that Bridget will get in trouble for sleeping on the beach while at soccer camp


Carmen’s story

Background info: Going to South Carolina to spend the summer with her father

Why has Carmen never been to her dad’s place before?

I predict that her plans with her dad will change


Chapter 3 questions, comments and predictions

Definitions

What is a “caldera”?

Tibby’s story

Why does she quit her job and become a film maker if she hates her job so much

Chapter 4 questions, comments and predictions

Lena’s story

Will we ever find out how old Effie (Lena’s sister) is?

I predict that Kostos (a guy Lena meets) will play a large part in Lena’s story

Carmen’s story

Is her dad hiding something from Carman?

I think it’s weird that Carmen’s dad doesn’t know the answers to simple questions about Carmen

I predict that her dad has someone special in his life

Carmen’s dad is getting married but Carmen has never met this women?

Chapter 5 questions, comments and predictions

 Lena’s story

Will we ever find out how old Kostos is?



 Chapter 6 questions, comments and predictions

Tibby’s story

Where in the book does it say that she lost her staff discount?

Why did the girl Tibby found faint?

Chapter 7 questions, comments and predictions

 Lena’s story

I wish there was a part in the back of the book to tell me what all the greek words that appear in Lena’s story mean

Is Lena’s grandmother trying to get Lena and Kostos to fall in love?

Chapter 8 questions, comments and predictions

Tibby’s story

Who is Nicky?

Why does Tibby have to do everything for her mother and siblings?

Chapter 9 questions, comments and predictions

Carmen’s story

Why has it taken five days for Carmen’s dad to do something with Carmen?

Tibby’s story

Why does Tibby want to avoid her crush?


As you can see, I have many questions, comments and predictions. I'm enjoying this book and can't wait until the next time I get a chance to sit down and read.
