Imagine you were just as Mawi in the book Of Beetls and Angels:
Take a position as someone coming to this country from somewhere else:
* What emotions might you feel?
* What would you most look forward to?
* What might you miss the most?

This book is amazing
I think Of Beetles and Angels is a great book. I never would have thought of a topic like this one. I think it seems like a great book and I want to know what happens next. I have one question, do they ever make it?
I think this book is very interesting, and I think it teaches kids a good lesson.
I think this book is really interesting! I have never really been into kind of books that have wars and people trying to escape. The closest I have ever been to that is Anne Frank. I whant to keep on reading.

I think Of Bettles and Angels is an exiting book that makes me feel glad that I'm in a safe country with no wars.I really want to read on and see what happens and I hope the family makes it.
I think Of Beetles and Angels is a great book!
I think this book is very interesting and I can't wait to keep on reading more of it. I like this book even though I would never have picked it to read. Once you started reading, I could not wait until you read more.
I wold feel excited and sad. I would look forward to a new way of life. I would miss the people and the culture.

I wonder what it might feel like to go to a new country were everyone was different? I also wonder what his family may be feeling taking children away from everything they know? hmmm we will just have to keep reading. Books are funny I guess itz true you can't judge a book by its cover!! We have so much more to find out about this journey

As you post your comments try to make them more than I like the book. Look at the questions that were posed and reflect on them before your answer. Remember this takes the place of a reading jounral so I want to see deep scholarly thinking!! YOU CAN DO IT!!
wow i finally got on
mrsligon r u on
I would get out of this country quickly, and get to America.
change the boginng to beginning I wasnt looking
So far Of Beetles & Angels looks very promising! The part that I look forward to would be when the family reaches America. I'll probably miss hearing about the people in the story.
If I were in a war zone, i would feel scared and extremely devastated. I would worry for me and my loved ones. I would think that life is not fair.
Why is this book titled "Of Bettles and Angels?"
IS anyone logged in now?
I look forward to reading the book. Tyler s.
I would feel very sad because I left all my friends behind but I would be happy too because I'm free. I would look forward to meeting new friends in this country.
I hope the family makes it across to America. So far it has been an amazing book! I would feel scared if I had to move to a new country.
I wonder what his life will be like in america, if he makes it.
I think it's a great book, really interesting about war and opportunity for people coming to America.
I think the book Beetles and Angels is a very different and interesting book. If I was Mawi, I would feel very scared because I wouldn't know which path to take. I'd be looking forward to seeing the new country. But I'd miss my friends and family the most. I'm dying to know what happens next.

Not sure what's going on here?
Nice conversation guys. This book has many more promising twist and turns. We will pick it up tomm. I can't wait to we have more adventures to discuss.
I think this a really good book. It is sad how the teachers beat the kids if they were bad.
If I was moving here from a different country I would be scare and excited. I would look forward to having a better life. I would miss my family the most.
I am dying to see what happens next when they travel from Ethiopia to America. This is a wonderful book in many ways
I think Of Beetles and Angles is a good lesson to tells us how fortunate we are to live in the U.S.
I blogged here today and I asked Ms.Ligon if we were supposed to blog here or the more recent one. Anyway happy birthday Jon-Jon.
The book is gr8 i love everything about it so far.It makes me feel fortunate that we live in america.I dont remember if it is a true story or not but if it is then that is really sad
-ranya
i really want to know what happens in america
Wait ranya, she'll probably read some more on friday
I would feel overwhelmed having to leave the only culture I have known. I would love not having to hide from enemies. I would miss my family like my grandparents that I left behind.-- Ashlynn
I would feel really scared to go to a whole other country, not really knowing anything, but a little excited that there would be no war.
I would probably miss the most would be my friends and family(cousins,grandma,ect..).

I probobaly would feel sad. I would look forward to meeting new people and learning more about that place.I mostley would miss the people i know and all my friends.There is one question though what does happen next,do they ever make it?
This book is very interesting! I really like the lesson of this book. I really want to know what happens next!
I love the book! It is amazing to see how people lived in the past. I also liked the adjectives the author used to describe the story.
This book is really great. I am looking forward to reading it. I would look forward to seeing in the future if I ever made it. a
I would feel nervous and scared. It would be like going to Mars, and everything would be so differant. I would look forward to tasting all the new foods. I would miss my family the most. Ashley
this book is really great!
i want to see what happens to the
family next. i would have been worried to leave my house and go to a different country. i like this book because of how the author describes everything.
-Anna
I would be grateful for my family if I lived in Of Beetles and Angels. I would have dinner with my family we would get a bird and
cook and eat it.
I like reading Of Beatles and Angels. Now I understand how difficult it was for those people and some of the people in Iraq.
