For my independent reading project I chose to read A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway.

Questions
1. I chose to do a scrap book for my IRB project. I made it as though it was the main Character, Lietenant Henry who made the scrap book. Most of the scrapbook was about WW1 and Catherine, whom he fell in love with throughout the story. I found a lot of pictures from WW1 that represent the characters in the story. A very meanigful page in my scrap book is page 4. I have many different thing about the war and how it was so terrible from Lietenant Henry's point of view. Another very meanigful page was the last page about Catherine. The ending of this novel was very sad and Henry lot both his wife and his child at the same time.
2. I like using mixbook a lot. They had a lot of great things on it such as the stickers. The sticker made the scrapbook seem very realistic. Mixbook was very easy to use and it was nice to be creative. I actually did not mind doing this project at all. I got to learn ow to use a new website and it was pretty interesting.
3. Overall i give this book a C+. It was a very well written book but it was not really my style. This book was a lot about romance and death so I did not really enjoy what the book was about. I enjoy books that are very thrilling and exciting and less about relationships and bad things that happen to people. The writing was very descriptive and easy to understand but I really wish that it wasn't about such a depressing topic.
I think it's really creative that you chose to write this from a character's perspective. I never actually thought about doing that. I also used mixbook, but mine was more in third person. I like the backgrounds and pictures you chose, because they make the scrapbook look more realistic. Sorry you didn't like the book :/, I've never actually read it.
