Prompt  1.) Pretend your job is to write magazine ads. Create an ad for what you’ve been reading.  2.)Pretend you have special powers and could put yourself in your reading. Where

would you put yourself and why? How would you being there change the story? 3.) Pretend you are a talk show host and two characters are the guests on your show. Which characters would you chose and why? List two questions that you, the host, would ask each character.


Pages 155- 115



             Are you looking for a book that is book about crime with murder suspense and great writing? If you have said yes to any these look no further you have found the book Black Duck. The book was written by Janet Taylor Lisle in the year 2006. The book follow a boy name Ruben Hart in 1929 during the prohibition.  Ruben and his friend Jeddy find a dead body while walking in the beach and they find two thing in his pocket a pouch of tobacco and a pipe on the dead man. They must find out who the man is why he was killed and who killed him?



         If I had the superpower to put myself in the book I would go to the beginning of the book when Ruben and Jeddy find the dead body. I would go their because I would like to see the reaction on their face.  Another reason that I would like to be their is because I would like to see what they would do if someone (me) yell "LOOK THOSE BOYS KILLED THAT MAN." I wonder if they would run or just stay there.  I would also go to that specific time because I would stop the body from being taken and see how that would of effect the story. I would also see what would of have happen if they did not find the body would they have enough have to deal with the mobster?


      If I was a talk show host I would invite Ruben and Jeddy to my show.  I would ask Ruben why he decide to take the tobacco pouch instead of leaving it? My second question would be why did he fight  with Jeddy since they have been best friends for many years?  I would ask Jeddy why did not trust Ruben and decided that would not listen to him again?  My second question would be the same that I ask Ruben why did he fight Jeddy.
