I think Jack is a hero in One For The Murphys. I believe he is a hero because he is a fire an and saves people. He also makes time to be with his family and do things with him. Another person I think is a hero is Carly, because she got her stepfather in jail. Then she took care of her “family.” I also think that Julie is a hero because she did the right thing with Michele Eric. She also saved Carley from her bad family. I think that she is good because she will pull everybody in, even if they have had a bad life. These are the characters I think are heroes in One For The Murphys.

Out Of My Mind Book
This year my middle school is reading Out of My Mind. Every other day at school we read a part of this book, but everyday a different teacher reads it to us. So far this is a great book and I think many people from middle school would enjoy this book a lot.
When we read this book we always talk and discuss our feelings and what we think about the characters and other stuff. Also on our class twitter account we had a group chat with two other schools from around the world. One of the classes was from Wisconsin and the other class was from British Columbia. It was really fun because my teacher posted questions and everybody who was on the twitter chat could answer them. It was really fun and I hope another day we can do that again .
The last thing I would like to talk about some of the characters in the book. The first character I would like to talk about is Melody. She is the main character of the book but there is something different about her. She has Cerebral palsy which is a disability where her body can not move and she cannot talk but she is really smart. Also another character is her dog Butterscotch. Butterscotch and Melody get along very well because neither of them can talk and express their feelings. Finally, the last character I want to talk to you about is Rose. She is a girl in Melody’s inclusion classes. In the beginning she was really nice but then she was drifting a way from Melody a little because she did not want to loose her reputation of being “cool”. I think that was really mean of her to do that just because Melody is different it does not mean she should just exclude her from many things. I hope you read this book and enjoy it.
