= Expert Project (How to make Orange Chicken) - 200 Words = The reason why I chose this topic is because I always wanted to learn how to make Orange Chicken. No one a home knows how to make it. So i thought about it, and it would be a good idea to make it for my family for dinner. I like chinese food and so does my family, so I think hey would enjoy eating this dish. This task seems difficult, so maybe my mom can help me make this, and she can also learn how to make it. So whenever she wants to make it, then she already knows how to. I will also know how to make this. So this way, my mom and I will be learning how to make something new. I think a good side food would be white rice because its also an asian food and they go really good together. Hopefully, my dish comes out really good as the Orange Chicken in the chinese restaurants that I've been to. I've always loved Orange Chicken and if I learn how to make it really good then I would be able to make it more often instead of always going to restaurants and buying it. If my mom learns how to make it too then she can also make it more often for my family.

= Writing About Reading: Some Openers =

I was surprised when ﻿Paco got shot and died. I wasn't expecting that at all! I was also surprised when Alex left Brittany. I think he left her because he didn't want to hurt her. But then he went back to her. Alex and Brittany really did love each other. I understood why Paco got shot and killed because he was in a gang and he got into a lot of trouble with his enemies.

The narrative voice: ﻿I like the way each character described what they saw and how they felt. hats whats I really like about the book. I like how she put so much detail into the story, and how they described how they saw things and how they felt. I like when the author puts a lot of detail into the story because i can actually picture in my mind.

The resolution of the main character’s problem ﻿didn't really surprise me; I was expecting what had happened to Alex and Brittany. I' glad Alex went back to Brittany because it was worth it. I'm pretty sure he felt like it was worth it too. I know Brittany was happy that Alex went back because he really loved and cared about him. She was hurt that Alex had left her but then glad he went back to her.

I’d say the theme of this book is ﻿"True Love" or "Young Love". I really enjoyed reading this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about love books. I read this book twice because I loved it. I wish the author would make a second book.I like reading books about love because I think their really interesting and I see a lot of my friends at school in love with their boyfriends. lol

I understood ﻿why Alex left Brittany in the beginning because he didn't want to hurt her. He didn't want to hurt her or cause her any trouble because he was involved in gangs. Brittany really loved and cared about Alex and didn't like the fact that he was in a gang. She always would stop him from doing a lot of things just to get him out of trouble. After Alex took her to show her around his house and neighborhood, Brittany could really understand why Alex was in a gang and acted the way he did.

This is how I read this book: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 27px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">﻿was at home and at my own time. I couldn't put this book down at all! I really loved and enjoyed this book a lot. I think I would read this book for the third time. I found this book pretty easy and understanding. It wasn't really as difficult as I thought it would be. My step sister had told me about this book, and said I would really like it. = =
