Week 3 Danielle Northrop Book: Flipped

Hi Danielle, Let me know if you get this....I am slightly confused on this wikispace stuff...... In the begining of this book I felt really sorry for Bryce, now, I feel sorry for Juli. I'm afraid I was as guilty as Bryce was of "judging" Juli before he really took time to get to know her. Although "first" impressions are extrememly important, we need to always remember we can't make any decisions about people until we take the time to get to know them and understand them. (Kind of like the old saying about walking a mile in someone else's shoes) I am enjoying this book.....it is so true to life in so many ways.....and has some very important lessons to be learned I love Juli's way of looking at life (beyond the surface)....Bryce is missing out on a lot because he is only seeing the surface. If I were to chose one of them to be friends with....I would choose Juli. I do think Bryce is slowly falling for her, even though he doesn't even know it yet. ....boys are like that sometimes... I think the more she ignores him the harder he is going to fall for her. I had also judged Bryce's grandfather too soon....He is not just a grumpy old man. He is a very sweet, caring man. and I would like to be friends with him too. Hope you have a good weekend, sounds like last weeekend was fun. Haley played very well last Saturday. We will go back to Peoria this weekend to see the team honored for their National Championship and they will receive their gold tournament rings too. I'm excited !!!! I also have an outing planned with one of my other daughters, and I have a bridal shower Saturday, so it will be a full weekend Take care, Donna W.

Dear Donna, It sounds like you enjoy this book i think that Bryce is falling for Juli to. Juli is kinda missing out on what Bryce is trying to do i cant wait til we get to meet each other at the reading rocks party and i will be graduating soon i cant wait. I read 20 pages today and i found out that the parents are trying to be friends because they keep inviting each others family over to the houses and Juli dont like it because she has to see more of Bryce and the dad dont like it because he says they are poor. I dont think they are poor do you? how many pages do you read? I hope you daughter does well at the volleyball game I hope she wins good luck i got a lot of stuff to do before our school goes to six flags May 7th. I have to get a dress for the dance and also graduation well i hope you have a great weekend i am glad you are my reading rocks partner. hope to meet you soon

Thanks again, Danielle Northrop

= Week 4 Adult: Donna Woods = Student: Danielle Northrop Book Title: Flipped Pages Read: end

Juli and Bryce were not talking to each to other and Bryce did not like it. Bryce is so upset that she doesn’t talk to him like she used to. Bryce tried to kiss her and she pulled away I don’t understand that because she was in love with him for the longest time. So Bryce ask her dad if he can do plant something in the yard. Juli was upset because he was planting something in the grass she just planted and her dad told her she would like it because it is a Sycamore tree. Well they had this basket boy auction during school and Bryce and some other boys had to eat lunch with whoever bid for them. So Juli bid for Jon and Bryce did not like that so he was really upset so that is when he tried to kiss her in front of everybody in the school.

I enjoyed this book because it was entertaining and pretty funny. It gets sad toward the ending because Juli doesn’t like Bryce anymore she turned him down when he tried to kiss her. I think everybody should read this book because it is funny. Some people might have been in this boat they are so it will help others to figure out what to do when they are in this situation.

The main character is the story changes a lot because she likes Bryce but then later on in life she hates Bryce. Before she started hating Bryce she was in love with him so she has changed a lot in the story. The theme is if someone tells you not to like someone don’t listen to him or her until you get to know the person you like because they could be really nice once you get to know them. I think Juli is a nice person and so is Bryce.

Questions? Do you think that Julianna and Bryce will get together? Do you think that Julianna will fall in love with Bryce like she did before? I would change the end of this book because they kind of left us hanging. I would of loved to know if they got together or not so that’s how I would of ended the book by saying if they got together or not.

Week 4 Danielle and Donna Flipped

Good Book !!! I kind of wish the author would have written one more chapter though....A chapter where Juli and Bryce actually see eye-to-eye (and heart-to-heart)....A "Happily Ever-after" kind of chapter..... I'm just an old romantic !!! The title of the book "Flipped" was perfect, because Juli and Bryce really did a lot of "flipping" back and forth on their thoughts and emotions.

I agree with you, I don't view Juli's family as poor. They didn't have the money to flash like Bryce's family did, but they were rich in more important ways. There are a lot of things in this world that are more important than money.

I loved it when Bryce planted the Sycamore tree in Juli's yard. That was the most thoughtful, romantic thing he could have done to win her over.

Life lesson: "Look beyond the surface"

I know boys probably would not want to read this book, thinking it's too much of a "chick flick", but it would be good for them, as well as the girls. We are all too quick to judge others. This story was an eye-opener, as well as entertaining..

Juli and Bryce both change a lot in the story. They grow up and see life in a whole new perspective

How was Six Flags ? Going there is always a fun day ! It was a little cloudy and windy here in Newton all day... I hope it was nicer there. When is your dance ? Do you have a date, or just going with friends? (sometimes that's a lot more fun) So glad we had the opportunity to do this project together. See you on the 11th !!!

Graduation day is approaching very fast....Enjoy High School, the years go very quickly !!! Always remember: "LOOK BEYOND THE SURFACE"
