Homecoming Week Shopping

This weekend I went shopping for homecoming week with Taylor. It was really fun, but also a bit stressful. The first place we went was Target to get tshirt and tights for twin day and some shoes for pong day. We went to the shoe isle and I found what I needed, so the day started off pretty well, Next we went to look to look for tights and we found what we needed, but they only had one pair. I didn't know where else we would get them, but I knew we could find some somewhere. Next, we went to look for light pink tshirts and, of course, they didnt have any. Thats when we started to panic. We didnt know where else we would look, but we decided to look for the tights again and we found 2 pair! We grabbed what we needed and checked out. My mom said that they would probably have the tshirts at old navy, and luckily, they did! Once we got our shirt we headed to hobby lobby to get the rest of what we needed! It was a really fun day and Im really excited for homecoming week!

Reading Responses

This week I read Sucker, The Sniper, and A Worn Path. I really enjoyed Sucker and the Sniper, but A Worn Path confused me. Sucker was a realistic fiction story that had a 1st person narrator. Sucker was easy to relate to and the audience seemed to be for my age people. It took a while for me to understand why Sucker did everything Pete said, but once it changed I understood. The sniper was also really good. It was cool to read about a taste of war and its also a good story to make inferences with. A Worn Path was more of a confusing story and I still dont really understand what happened. I think my favorite was Sucker because I understand it and it makes the most sense.
