In the second section of Water for Elephants that i read, i really enjoyed because i have never gone to a circus and it was nice to be able to read about the behind the scenes part of it. It is frustrating to read about Jacob and Marlenas relationship because i want them to be together, but i don't know if she is dating August or married or neither. I really enjoy the way that Sara writes because it sounds like the way people talk, and poor writers don't sound like that, its choppy and doesn't sound like actual conversations, or thoughts of the characters mind. This book kind of reminds me of Dumbo because of the circus aspect of it. this book is just starting to get interesting and i can't put it down!

For my independent reading, i chose to read Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I really enjoyed this first section of the book i read because the main character Jacob complains about how its a hassle to get old it reminded me of myself and my grandmother. I thought of myself because i don't want to get old like that and not be able to take care of myself scares me. I also thought of my grandmother because she is really frail, but never complains about how people take care of her, i think that she likes it. But this section made me think about her because i can see her starting to need more help with things like opening doors and walking down stairs. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this book because i like the way that it is written.
