CRASH

What do you think about the book so far?

Are there any parts of the story you would have written differently if you were the author of Crash?  If yes, what would you change?  If no, why would you leave things the same?


Which character from your book do you relate to the most? 
Why?

Additional thoughts…

  1. If I was the author of this book I would make Jane Forbes have crash and penn both as friends and Mike would bully Penn and Crash would stand up for him and Mike would get in trouble

  3. I also thimk the book is very entertaining because of all the funny things that happens. I would have made Crash and Jane go out and Penn be the only one to want to stop the mall from being built and then Penn gets Mike to help him STALL THE MALL. I think is one of the nicest people I've ever met or read about.

    1. I think Penn is one of the nicest people I've ever read about because he doesnt get involved in violence and doesnt insult people.

    2. I think It is weird for a boy not to fight back. It is almost like he doesn't even notice. That is why I think Jane is so nice to Penn, but mean to Crash because he makes fun of Penn.

  5. I think the book is very funny while it also teaches a lesson about how to treat people. I would only make Webb get all the cheerleaders and jump Crash and Mike. I would only do this to create alot more action to make the book better. I guess I relate to Crash the most because he is a great football player and plays running back like me. I am also like crash because he has a animal loving annoying sister named abby in the 5th grade just like me.

  10. Yes,because in my opinion I think there should be a little bit of pictures once in a while but other than that I think everything is good.

  11. 1. What I think of the book ''CRASH'' so far is that it is really funny. This book is funny because Penn joined the cheerleading squad,is a qauker and he is aslo a vegatarion. Crash is funny because he likes to pull jokes on people.

    2. Yes there are some parts of the story I would change because I would say that Penn would continue being a cheerleadier and aslo tell the girl that likes penn that Crash's mother owns a coulpe of stores in the mall.The girl might start to kind of like crash but first crash need's to be a little bit nicer to people.

    3.If I had to choose charcter's that I can relate to is Crash because my Grandfather came to stay with me before.But I can also relate to Penn because people sometimes laugh at me for being a cheerleader. I can also relate to abby because I sometimes do not want things to be built so we could have wildlife.

  12. This book has been great so far. Has lots of humor. I think the best part of the story so far was when they had a "rat" or mouse in Crash's house. When Abby said "My big brave brother,Crrrash Coogan is afraid of mice. I would not change anything at all. The way the author added Mike into the story was smart to give Crash a friend just like him makes the story even more intresting. For some reason every time to people are alike they argue about something. Mike and Crash where fighting about Jane. I think I relate to Crash the most because Crash loves to play a sport and so do I. We both enjoy plaing football.

  13. 1.What I think about the book so far is that it's a really good book and it's funny to and I also like this book because football is my favorite sport. 2.Yes I would change to things in the book the first thing I would change is that I would make jane like crash instead of likeing webb,and I would also let the mall stay up and gave abby a but woopping because how she talking back to her mother like that. 3.The character that I relate to the most is crash because crash and I have a lot of things in common like we both are fullback we like pizza and were not vegaterins and we both know a scooter and has a dumb friend and like football.

  17. I really like the book. It makes me laugh but the word choise isnt so great. The auther puts a picture in my head of what he is describing.
    I wouldnt change anything because the auther describes everything very clearly. Besides the word choice, this book is definetly in my top three.
    I probably relate to crash because he loves to play football but at the same time takes care of his familly the same way I do to my familly.

  19. I think that the story is very creative because it gives me a really good mental image of whats happening in the story so far .

    But I would change something like I would have Mike, Crash and Penn become friends and make Crash realize he was like evryone else . I would also change that I would make Penn not be a nerd and make him alittle like Crash because I think it would be better to have some action and make Penn be from a rich family so Crash would like Penn more .
    I relate mostly to Crashes little sister because when I was little I use to play with bugs and I use to dig holes in my front yard and try to turn my backyard into a habitat . But I would get in more trouble than his little sister does ... not a good thing :o .

  20. 1 how i think the book is going is it is going good i liked where crash and mike filled penns shoes with mustard but i also think thst it was mean because penn diddnt even do any thing to them and i also think that penn is really nice to them even after all of the mean things that crash and mike have been doing to him
    2 yes there are some things that i would change what i would change is the way they treat penn they shouldnt be so mean so i would make crash and mike a little bit nicerto penn
    3 the character that i most realte to his little sister beacause she is nice and she really cares about helpiing animals and in really care about animals just like her
