Lunch-box dream

 My book is getting better as I read farther. It still doesn't talk much about the characters because the characters are always talking about what they are doing and really only one specific character can be talking about their experience at a time. I think that as the book goes on I will start to enjoy it more and it will start to make more sense. also they focus on one family more than the other so I understand when they are talking as the one family but not so much the other family.

I would recommend this book to people that like when books switch between characters and that like books that are  realistic fiction. The book is about a family that is driving on a route to see an old civil war battlefield. The family is traveling long the same path that the train that took president Abrahams body, after he was assassinated, on.When the family looses their son they meet a totally different family that can help them through there trouble. So far I would give his book a 3 star rating I wouldn't necessarily recommend t to a friend but I could see how other people may like this book.


Below is a picture of the route the train took through Ohio

The book is getting a little bit better as it goes on t the characters are starting to develop more and make more sense. It is still a little hard to follow during some parts and understand what is happening in the book. I also cant tell what time the books takes place I know that it is before civil rights but I don't know how much before. I think that as the book gets farther into thing and can explain more I will like the book better.

I am about a third through my book and so far the two families haven't had anything to do with one another. Within the families the characters seem to show different emotions to one another. Bobby and Ricky who are brothers seem to get on each others nerves just as siblings normally do. Bobby seems to love his family but not really understand them to well but he also doesn't want to make them mad. The other family hasn't appeared much in the book so far an hasn't done much towards the theme. As of right now the characters haven't done much to develop the theme but I assume latter on in the book they will have more of an effect on the theme and plot

I don't really like how the book is starting I think it is kind of slow and they switch between all of the characters at each chapter which makes it confusing to follow. The author also doesn't talk much about the characters so I don't know anything about them like how old they are or if they are African American or not.

I  predict that in my book a car accident will bring two families together that otherwise would have never met, and they will rely on each other for confidence and happiness in this rough time. A text to self connection is that in tough time we have relied on others for support the same as I believe this family will. A text to world connection is that many people are judged based on their skin color. This story takes place during the pre-civil rights era when many African Americans had very few rights. Finally a text to text connection is I think it is kind of like the book Whirligig because it talks about how an accident can bring to families closer together.
