The Skin Im In

I can not put this book down. My mom was calling me and I didn't even hear her.
Maleeka has a new teacher who has something wrong with her skin. Maleeka thinks that the teacher is picking on her, but the teacher undrstands what she is going through. She wants Maleeka to accept herself. But Maleeka does not want to hear it and wants the teacher to go back to where she came from.

The Skin Im In

I am reading The Skin Im In by Sharon Flake. Before I read I predicted that Maleeka was gonna have conflict because her skin. The reason why I predicted this is because of the title. If you don't accept your body and the features that make you unique nobody else will. After reading the first chapter, I know that my prediction was correct. Maleeka is very dark skinned and people pick on her all the time.

I was reading Violet Raines Almost Got Struck By Lightning by Danette Haworth. When I was reading my book i had a word that I didn't know the meaning of,the word was taradiddle .After some Thinking I found out thata that the word meant a fib.the reason why I think the meaning if the word is fib, is beacause I read around the word and found out the meaning.While finishing up my reading I had to use the visualization strategy to visualize Violet in my head and how pretty she was.What an awesome book it was!!!!
