The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm


The Ear,The Eye, And The Arm is by Nancy Farmer. I would give this 2 trees because its repeating its self every word and it was like she was trying to put you to sleep and the book felt like she was trying to depress you I hated it. I mean it felt like they were getting in and out and in and out and in and out and in then Finally got out. I got bored in the middle because nothing happened.
I would have her change the middle because it is a very big let down because it repeats itself whenever she get bored and it feels like she just sat down and decided to write a book . Like Tendai should have said more words because it felt like Tendai was really quiet. I would like to add what happens to them at the end because they could go on another adventure like they could get robbed then go on a hunt for new thieves named foot and shin(see what I did there) and the she Elephant would go missing. All in all I think that I would not recommend this book.

  4. Jordan,

    Your summary is really good. I like how you wrote it - I enjoyed reading it.

    I wish you would write more about what happened in the book. I'm not quite sure of what you didn't like, because you need more detail on the examples. You also need to break up your paragraph 4 paragraphs: the assertion, the examples to prove your assertion, advice to author and your conclusion.

    Great job. I might not want to read the book now, after hearing your opinion!

  5. Very well written! You did a great job stating your claim. I really liked the way you wrote your paragraph for example when you said "I would have changed the middle because it was a really big let down" and then you told why it was a really big let down, that had a lot of evidence.

    There were a couple of things that I would change. One thing is I felt like I had to read the book to know (in some parts) what you were talking about. Another thing that I would change is I felt that you repeated some words to often for example the word because instead you could say the words for example.

    Over all I thought that your post was very good and you stated your claim. Well done!

    -Elise
