Core 3

Book Review

Locomotion

by:Jacqueline Woodson

 This book is a poetry book and it has a lot of poems. There are some good poems and some not so good people. The two poems that I like are called “Parents poem” and “Describe somebody”. The parents poem is about how she lost her parents and how they died. And how people ask how her parents died and she would always say “The fire took them”.  The poem Describe Somebody is about how she begins talking about her favorite teacher and how her hair was long and brown and her face was brown and she stopped because she didn’t want to write about that anymore. Then she started writing about this boy in her class that was really shy and he could really sing. But nobody knew that he could sing since he was so shy, she only found out that he was shy by going to another church than usual with her teacher. And when she got there she saw him up there in the robe with the choir. And she saw him sing up there by his self and he did well. Then she decided to start all over because she didn’t want to bring him out and tell the whole class about his personal business.
