outside reading 3.5-3.11

                    This week I started a new book named The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane, the same author as The bride comes to yellow sky. The story happens during the civil war. It's about a boy named Henry who dreams of the glory of battle that he has read about in school. But when he became a real soldier, he realized that the real war is not the same as what he read in the books.
                    The book talked about Henry's fear of battle and how he became more and more mature as the story goes on. I think this book is a good book. The word choice, the organization and the voice of this book is very good. The Red Badge of Courage is not onky a novel about war. It also talked about how a boy grew mature and learned during his experience of the war.

3/10 page 1-145
