The reason I chose Running Loose was because when I was reading the reviews on it, it seemed the most enjoyable. This book is about high school students that face challenges and have to overcome them. So far, I have really liked reading this book. Every time I read it; I don't want to set the book down. There are some moments when I make connections to my real life, being a high school student.
ReplyDeleteI can really relate ii think the book is very good and when ii start to read it i dont wnaat to set it down and i can make so many connections throughout the sports and the relationships.
DeleteI chose to read Chinese Handcuffs and my book is focused on high school students as well. The book I am reading relates to yours because the characters are trying to overcome the challenges they have already faced in the past.
DeleteI agree with this because every time I pick the book up to read it I just want to keep reading.
DeleteHunter Fosdal i chose running loose too because of the way the book portrayed itself and the way it makes connections with me in high school.
Deletethis seems like a good choice for book, hopefully its less dark than Chinese handcuffs.
DeleteI never had a choice in the whole book choosing thing, I was gone for the first three days came back and was in a random group with a random book with a small understanding of what I was supposed to do, despite that the book is pretty good all things considered.
ReplyDeletewhat book are you reading
DeleteOh ya know
Deleteno i dont know what do you mean what is the book about
DeleteSeems very interesting! I almost believe it is better to have it a surprise! this way its a matter of what you get and you go into it without knowing what's going on! Keep reading Hopefully you will enjoy the book and maybe even learn what its about :)
DeleteI chose Running loose, Though this book was my third choice i feel as if his book is right for me. I really enjoy the way he tells the story. At first i though that this was stupid because of the cover, but i quickly realized that i shouldn't judge a book by its cover. As of right now its ok, I don't know if the book will change at all but if it did I'm sure it would be a good change. Because I'm not the most athletic person its hard to connect to a book about a sport.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Chris tells the story in an enjoyable way, even though I am Chinese Handcuffs.
Deleteis there something in particular about the author's writing style that makes it enjoyable? does it have something to do with how the author's describes things or uses clever wordplay to make the story flow? and do you think you could connect to the book if it had more themes beyond sports?
DeleteI choose this book hoping I could relate to them and i found that i could relate to Louie in many different ways from the small town to the relationships. I think it is a very good read and keeps your attention.
DeleteI chose Chinese Handcuffs because it seemed interesting. The main character Dillion, his brother killed himself in front of him and I thought it would be a good book to read about. I kind of related to it because Dillion is going through a lot of pain just like I was when my mom passed away. I'm not that far in the book, but I am finding it very interesting like when Dillion and Preston kill their neighbors cat and then burry it because the cat was mean to their dog.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting i never thought it could be of such interest to me.
DeleteI also agree that it was very interesting when Preston and Dillon killed the cat. I was not expecting it and it was a hard part to read. Did you expect them to do that and how did you react?
DeleteI did not expect them to kill the cat, do you think it will come back on the boys further in the book?
Deletethis is the book I was given; I usually don't like dark stories, but I hope it will be a good story
DeleteI am reading Chinese Handcuffs. the book was my first choice. ii was glad i got the book that i choose first. when i first started reading the begening of the book was confusing. i didn't think it was going to be a good book because it was confusing. as the book went on it got a lot better.
ReplyDeleteI also found the beginning of the story confusing because of the abundance of characters and names introduced but, as I kept reading I began to understand and it got a lot better.
DeleteI am also reading Chinese Handcuffs, i thought the first part was a little confusing. Do you think that their is a reason for all of the different stories to be put together. Or do you think their is something else happening.
DeleteI chose Chinese Handcuffs because it sounded the most interesting of the choices. It also talked about things being killed and i like watching shows involving those things, along with it being about two high schoolers.So far i would not change my choice, it has been very interesting and keeps me wanting to read.
ReplyDeleteHunter Fosdal, I chose Running loose because when checking out the books i thought running loose could potentially more suitable on the basis of sports and i like to read those kinds of books on sports and life of the athlete like the tv show on Netflix All American this may not have a book but is in my sort of genre of books and when i first read the back of the book i loved it instantly and wanted to read more and i feel like this book makes connections to more people in this room than anything.
ReplyDeletewhat's your favorite part out of everything you've read?
Deleteare there any other factors beyond the sports theme that pushed you to choose this book over the other three? and what are things you enjoy about it so far?
DeleteI also feel like it connects with most of the people in this room because most of us play some type of sports and watch sports on tv.
Deletewould it be a good book for a person that doesnt like sport?
Deletei didnt have a choice on choosing my book chinese handcuffs i wasnt here and when i first looked at the book i thought it was pretty special and i didnt want to read it but im glad i did because ive grown fond of the book and now i actually like it and the things the author does
ReplyDeleteIf you were here the day we chose books would you have picked a different one or stayed with Chinese Handcuffs?
DeleteI was not here when we chose the books because I was at home sick but the people who chose me in their group chose the book Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. I am actually pretty glad that they wanted me in their group with that book because the more that I read the book the more I actually enjoy it. In the beginning of the book, it was kind of confusing but the more you read the more it all makes sense and pieces together. There are some spots in the book that I have made some connections with the characters Eric and Sarah. They are outcasts and so am I so I can kind of relate to them with that.
ReplyDeleteI have also made some connections with Eric and Sarah also with them being fellow high school students. Yes at first it was very confusing how it went from her having the brain damage and her being stuck in the hospital. And then going to her before the incident but not telling us they are. They Talk about before when she was in high school and everything was okay. So yes the pieces weren't connecting until I just kept reading Also i can also relate how they are outlasts I am too so I can also relate to them with that.
DeleteI have also made connections to Eric and Sarah. The first few pages were confusing to me, and you learn a lot of names that you should remember.
DeleteI am reading Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. The reason why I choose to read this book because after reading about it it sounded like a good book. It was my second choice but I'm glad I got picked for this book. I am very happy with my choice so far. It is a very good book and it keeps me interested and I can just sit and read it for a while. It is not every book that I can. My Initial thoughts of the book is I like Eric as a narrator he tells the story good. I like all the characters and I also like the story line of it. I am finding this book very enjoyable because of the teen connections I have with the characters. The book keeps me want to read and it has all the emotions in it. Yes the reading is interesting there is no boring part for me so far. Yes i built connections with Eric and Sarah. Overall very happy about my book choice.
ReplyDeleteI am also reading this book and i didn't find it all that interesting at first but the more you get to know your charachters the more you start to enjoy the book.
DeleteI as well as reading Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes and am starting to actually enjoy it. It is nice that Eric is telling the story. The way that he tells it can be a little confusing (for me at least) but for the most part it is very understandable as well
DeleteI agree with you that it is a very good book and keeps me interested. I also agree with you because I think Eric is a very good narrator and tells the story good
DeleteI am also reading this book and I like how Eric is narrating the book but sometimes I get confused on who he is talking about because there is a lot of names to remember
DeleteI had Stotan in my top three because it was one of the shorter books. I am happy with my book because the book pretty good interesting book to read. This is because there are some mystery's in the book like how lions parents were killed in a boating accident and nobody questioned it.
ReplyDeletedo you recommend the book
DeleteI also found that interesting. What do you think is going to happen with Stotan Week?
DeleteWhy do you think they should questione how lions parents where killed.
Deletethe reason I chose the book Chinese handcuffs is because it has a weird title and I wanted to find out why it was called Chinese handcuffs when the book talks about how this kid's brother committed suicide. I also picked this book because it talks about basketball, and I loved to watch basketball growing up. so far I am happy with the book i picked because it is very interesting and tells a story about when these two brothers were younger, and it is cool to see what they did when they were younger.
ReplyDeleteI also chose my book because it had a weird tile and wanted to find out what stotan meant.
DeleteI am also reading this book and i can connect to it by have a brother and growing up with him.
Deletei can relate to this because there are sports going on in my book and i also like watching sports and your book also has a weird title just like running loose but I'm glad that i choose the book just like your happy with the book you choose.
DeleteI chose running loose because when we're looking at all of the options for books this book seemed the most interesting to me. I like reading sports books and I can relate because I've played sports most of my life, as I started reading, I liked the book because I like watching football and it's been a good book to read so far, and I don't know if the book with change as I get farther into it
ReplyDeleteI can relate to you because I like sports to and my book is also about sports.
DeleteI can also relate because i like to play sports and watch sports on tv.
DeleteI can relate back to your book with sports because Chinese handcuffs also talk about how this girl was one of the best athletes in the sports she did.
DeleteHunter Fosdal i like reading sports and watching shows or the game itself and i have played sports before as well
DeleteI chose the book Chinese Handcuffs because it sounded like a interesting book full of different things going on. The book is about a kid that his brother killed himself and cant get over the pain and he cant stop thinking about it. It is a alright book so far it gets a little confusing sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI am also reading the book Chinese handcuffs and I would agree with you that the book is confusing in some parts because one chapter talks about a girl and when she played basketball, and the next chapter goes back to dillion talking about his brother committing suicide
Deletei can relate to this book because i know that there are sports going on and my book is mostly sports going on and also just like how you said that your book is confusing my book is confusing at some times to.
DeleteMy book stotan is kind of similar to yours because one of the characters brothers also killed himself. Do you think you will understand the book more as you read?
DeleteI am reading running loose and i choose this book because I thought I could best relate to it because Louie is in highschool and he lives in a small town with a good family and is trying to impress everyone around him. I really wanted this book because i felt like i could best relate to it and it would actually hold my attention throughout the entire book. I like it so far because he talks about how his life is heading and his goals and he talk about becky and how he feels about her and i can relate to that. I also liked when he threw his helmet down and didnt play anymore becaus the coach was trying to hurt the other team.
ReplyDeleteHas the book met your expectations and have you managed to hold your attention throughout the book as you wished?
DeleteI also like how Louie talks about his goals and how he speaks what he feels. Do you think Louie did the right thing about walking off the field after the incident?
Deletei picked staying fat for sarah byrnes because it seemed like the most interesting story and least depressing, it is also an easy read
ReplyDeleteIs the book so good?
Deleteis there any confusing parts in the book like in my book chinese handcuffs it was confusing at the begining or is your book alsway easy to understand?
DeleteNow that you are more than likely a quarter of the way through, would you say that it seems interesting? Why is it that this book stood out the most to you?
DeleteI chose the book Running Loose because after reading the summary, the book seemed very interesting. I connected this book to all of us because we are all going through high school and each and every one of us eventually have struggles and problems we face. So far I enjoy this book
ReplyDeleteI agree that in high school everyone will eventually struggle with something. Are there any good lessons that this book has given you?
DeleteI decided to read Chinese Handcuffs because of the passage on the back cover. The book covers sensitive topics such as suicide. So far, I am enjoying the book and how Chris Crutcher uses letters from the main character addressed to his dead brother to express how Preston is feeling. However, in the first chapter there are a lot of names addressed and I found myself rereading portions to keep the characters in order. Overall the book is keeping me interested and has been fairly easy to read.
ReplyDeleteI was rereading sections of the book as well in the beginning, Do you thin he will keep jumping back and fourth from letters to the story?
DeleteI chose to read Chinese Handcuffs because it was the book that caught my attention the fastest and seemed the most interesting. I am enjoying the book so far and I really like how deep and personal it seems. I also like that each chapter is in a different character's perspective. The reading is really interesting because it talks about problems that all of the characters have which allows me to feel like I can connect to them.
ReplyDeletedid you get confused in the begin because i did and had to reread parts?
DeleteI choose the book Chinese Handcuffs was because of the interesting name as well as the summary on the back of the book pulled me in, so far I am happy with my choice in books. In the beginning of the book I was confused as to why the letter was being written and who it was being written by, after reading a little more I started making connections and was able to understand the book a little better. The book is a good read, it is just a little confusing in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI was a little confused at the beginig also, but once i found out more backround information it made more sense to me, i also liked what i have read so far.
DeleteI chose the book stotan over the other three options for a few reasons. the first of which being that for me it seemed like a more approachable and casual book when compared to the other options. the second being an overall intrigue with the plot presented by the short summary on the back of the book and the info brought from the review I had read. overall, this book has been an enjoyable experience, but the writing style and dialogue seem off at times.
ReplyDeleteHave you had any connections to the book so far? What has been your favorite part of the book?
DeleteI was not here when we chose books because I was at home sick but when I was put into a Running Loose group, I felt relieved because I actually wanted to read the book because it seemed enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteIf you had the choice in the first place to choose a book would you pick running loose or something else?
DeleteI would've probably chosen Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes because I've heard that it's a great book to read.
DeleteWhat is your favorite part in Running Lose so far? Is it anything that you can relate to?
Deletein my opinion, there is nothing that i can relate to in Running Loose. theres also nothing that is my favorite because its about football, which i dont like, and its also about someone being kicked off the team because he was doing something right, which i also dont like because i hate when people try doing something right and get punished for it.
DeleteI am reading Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. I chose this book as one of my top three because none of the others related to me, I wanted a book I could imagine and build connections off of. This book made it very easy to make connections with the main characters, Eric and Sarah. As I began reading it I was confused learning who each person was and their role in the main character's life but as I got more into the book and learned the roles of each character is able to get into the reading.
ReplyDeleteWhat is one way you did get better learning the names?
DeleteYeah that was one of the reasons why i choose it also because none of the others related to be neither. I can imagine and build connections with all of the main characters. Also like having books that relate to me being in high school. I have also built big meaningful connections with Eric and Sarah. Me too I was so confused who half the characters when they came in. And what they are to Eric and Sarah. But I kept reading and trying to keep track of the order. And i understood after i kept reading also.
DeleteI agree with you that the names were hard to figure out at first and as I got more into the book it was a lot easier to read because i knew the names.
DeleteI agree as I first started reading, I was confused about the characters and the role they played in the story or what their backstories were, like with Sarah, I am stilling trying to figure out the history behind her father and her burns. What do you think might have actually happened to Sarah, because me personally I don't think the way she tells she got her burns is true?
DeleteI choose Chinese handcuffs, because it seemed the most interesting out of all of them. The other options just seemed boring and this one just stuck out to me the most. I am happy with my choice so far, because it has been very eventful and their are not many parts where I am bored. When I first started reading it I was a little bit confused as to why it started off with sports, but as I read more I realized that was not the theme of the book. So far the book is enjoyable and has remained interesting yet slightly disturbing.
ReplyDeleteI agree in which the beginning of the book was quite confusing. Once you get past those few initial pages, I feel everything starts to puzzle together and you begin to understand the bigger theme of the book.
Deletedid you hit any more confusing parts after the first couple? because i had a couple more confusing parts
DeleteI picked Chinese Handcuffs because I feel reading about dark topics keeps me more engaged. This booked has had me hooked from the beginning description. I have yet to be disappointed with this book. It is definitely not for the light stomach. So far I am really enjoying it, although it can be hard to read at times.
ReplyDeleteWhich scene has been the toughest to read so far? I also have found some of the scenes disturbing.
DeleteDo you think reading this book would influence you to read darker themes if you haven't already read so far. I know I'm going to take a break after a while and read something tamer. I believe the fact that this could be a real story or contain parts of a real story make it much more disturbing.
DeleteI think I might end up reading this book in my free time. I like books that keep you interested from the beginning. I think books with heavy topics are great at keeping one's attention and if you said that it had you hooked from the beginning then I would hope that I could enjoy it too.
DeleteAfter reading the descriptions of all the books, none of them stood out like Running Loose. One reason this book called my name was because it was about football. As soon as I read it had football in it I knew that it was the one for me. The book so far is very good. it has reached a high point in intensity already and I'm only 60 pages in. The football content in the book is exceptional and the emotions in the book are phenomenal. So far this book has been the perfect choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat has been your favorite scene from the book so far?
DeleteI chose to read the book Stotan! because I thought the title was interesting. I also chose this book because it is about sports, and I love playing and watching sports. I am happy that I got this book because it is about high schoolers that swim and they have a week of practice that is really challenging. I can relate to the tough practices because I have played sports my whole life and I have had many tough practices. This book has been enjoyable so far, because it interesting and it takes place in a high school, so it is very easy to relate to.
ReplyDeletei agree that the sports and high school theme makes these books very good for us high schoolers to relate to. My book is about football so that makes me enjoy my book.
DeleteI agree it is awesome that the books we have are close to relating to us right now in high school I have the same book and i thought swimming was easy it's not, lots of challenges
DeleteI agree with relating closely to the book. I have had very hard practice in some of the high school sports I played. Swimming seems like a lot more work than it looks from the outside and that opinion changes after reading some of this book.
DeleteI choose to read Chinese Handcuffs because it was the most interesting and darkest out of all the books. I'm not really a big sports fan but I do like it when books talk about deep topics. The book is definitely engaging, and I find myself hooked while reading it. There’s been some parts that have made me sick, but it shows the sad horrific nature of humanity.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, parts of the book seemed like a start to a slasher film, I also like how you phased "but it shows the sad horrific nature of humanity" and I defiantly agree, violence is all around, in humans and in animals. It makes you really think when you read a sad or traumatic story is how good you got life.
DeleteWhich parts of the book have been more difficult for you to read? Personally, the harsh parts involving people doesn't bother me all that much. But reading about the cat really got to me and I had to take a break from reading.
DeleteI didn't know Chinese handcuffs dealt with heavy topics, or else I probably would have moved it at spot #1 in my list because I also like books that deal with things that are hard to talk about in real life
DeleteChinese handcuffs seemed to low in the sports genre compared to other book choices. I have never appreciated sports books so this was a perfect fit, as well as the themes of trauma. A lot of the books I've read in my free time relate to trauma and abuse, so that also grabbed my attention so I'm glad I could fit the same themes and maybe learn about sports here and there. The title also interested me, it seems like a peculiar title to choose for this book. Maybe they (the characters) go into prison or find themselves in a situation were they need to work together? well I guess I've got to read and find out!
ReplyDeleteWhich part would you say grabbed your attention/ surprised you the most??
DeleteWell the first chapter defiantly set the mood for the rest of the book the excessive violence towards animals was not the worst i was going to read in this book.
DeleteI choose the book Running Loose because when I read the description and I noticed it had football in it, and that was one of the reasons I choose it. Overall the book is pretty good, it starts off kind of slow but that's with basically every book. Slowly over time I got more into the book and the action and excitement started to pickup, and I find myself to enjoy this book now
ReplyDeleteWhat is the most interesting or surprising part of this book so far?
DeleteWhat's the most exciting part of the book so far?
DeleteI chose to read running loose because I thought that the fact that it was banned in libraries for its themes of sexuality was interesting. There have been a few sexual comments made by certain characters in the book but as far as I am in the book, no one has said anything significantly explicit that would be worth banning this book over. Something that surprised me was the racism that appeared in the first few chapters of the book. While I was doing my research on what this book was about, I didn't come across any mentions of racism. The whole book follows the life of the main character, Louie, as his life goes downhill. It's not entirely relatable because I am not a football fan but I am starting to get acquainted with the football genre and even starting to understand why people like it.
ReplyDeletehow would you say this book compares to some of the parts of Chinese Handcuffs that i shared with you? Now that you know how your book is event-wise, would you still have choosen it to read?
DeleteI would say that this book is a lot tamer than Chinese Handcuffs. And if I knew the events of the story then I would probably still have chosen this book because I'm interested in seeing how the main characters life goes downhill
Deleteafter reading the descriptions to all the books I chose the book Chinese Handcuff because it was the most interesting and deals with trauma. For me the abuse and trauma part make the book hard to put down, I just want to keep reading it. I'm supper happy with my pick because it is a very enjoyable book. So far, the book is about teenage boys and some trauma. this book is very relatable and has alot of unextending senses. I also can connect to some of the things happing in the book.
ReplyDeleteI chose running lose because I like reading about sports and watching them on tv. I think a lot of people can connect with this book because most of us play sports. Yes I am happy with my book choice so far. I thought it was pretty confusing at the start when they were trying to explain everything but then it all made sense. Yes I believe the book is enjoyable because it talks about sports and I can connect because I play sports.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite thing about the book
Deleteother than sports, what interests you most about this book? Are you understanding the book better as you read it?
Deletei had stotan as my second pic i choose it because it looked shorter than the other books. i wanted running loose it sounds good, but you go with what you got. the other two books did not sound the greatest. there are some mysteries in the book. I am happy with my book because the book pretty good, interesting book to read.
ReplyDeleteIf the book was longer do you think you would have chosen it yet or would rather choose running loose as you said? Also Stotan seems like a good book. hopefully because its short it does not make it super confusing because what I have seen with comment's about Chinese handcuffs and staying fat it is very complicated in the beginning or though out the book hopefully its not a problem. Happy Reading!! :)
DeleteI relate with Nick with it also appearing to be decently short book.
DeleteI got Stotan and it was my first pick. I chose Stotan as my first pick because it was about a guy in a winter sport in high school. I feel like I relate to him because I used to wrestle and I'm a guy in high school. So far I like the book and am glad I picked it because it has been very interesting and relatable to my life.
ReplyDeleteI chose Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes because it seemed interesting and seemed like the most enjoyable one. I am happy with my choice of this book but I do get confused at some parts. My initial thought would be that the book is good with a lot happening so you are never reading anything boring. The book is enjoyable and keeps me thinking about the book all the time.
ReplyDeleteI agree there is a lot going on in the story, which makes the book more, enjoyable. I like how the book switches between the characters' lives and history, that's one of the main reasons, why this book keeps me attached
DeleteRunning Loose is also like your book, it is interesting and there never is anything boring to read
DeleteI had Staying Fat for Sarah Brynes as my second pick. When reading the reviews this book stood out to me, but it also confused me at the start of the book. I got confused with all the names of the character names. The first couple pages of the book were confusing because it talked about Eric swimming and then how Sarah was in the hospital. Once I got more pages into the book it all started making sense and I am glad that I got this book to read.
ReplyDeleteWould you have preferred to have your first-choice book because you found this one so confusing or are you glad you got this one?
DeleteI got Chinese handcuffs because it was my third choice. so far, the book is interesting and confusing. i can somewhat relate to the trauma part and also the sports. Chris Crutcher has a fun and exciting way of telling a story.
ReplyDeleteIs it a good book if you like sports?
DeleteI choose "Staying Fat for Sarah Brynes", because I felt that it would be interesting, from the title and summary of the book. So far, I am happy with my choice, the book is very interesting, and has a lot of mysteries behind it that I would like to figure out. My thoughts on the book are very good at the moment, it's keeping me in this interested state, from the back stories of the characters and the meaning behind certain things, the book is keeping me intrigued to continue reading. Connections about this book that i made, is about Sarah and how she wouldn't respond to anyone unless, you called her full name, and she is known for her burns that she has gotten as a child. I think that her name has something to do with the history of her burns.
ReplyDeletei choose stotan because it was one of the shorter books and i wanted to know the word stotan meant and i wanted to see why the back of the book was saying stotan was such a memorable week and why it would change their lives forever.
ReplyDeleteI relate to you with also wondering what exactly the word Stotan mean along with Stotan Week.
DeleteI was torn between Stotan and Running loose at the beginning when trying to decide which book to read. I ultimately chose Stotan because the brief description of the Stotan Week really caught my attention and was interested to read more about it. So far I am happy with my decision while just diving into the book
ReplyDeleteI chose the book because it seemed like it wouldn't be too long of a read and the pictures on the book and the introduction was pretty interesting. The book is interesting so far but im confused what the main point of the book so far is. i would give it a 6/10.
ReplyDeleteWhat book did you end up choosing? Why so far are you giving it a 6/10?
DeleteI chose the book Running Loose because as I was reading the summary I wanted to know more. This book is about a teenage boy that has constant struggles in life but overcomes them by trying his hardest. I enjoy reading this book because it keeps me interested and I always want to read beyond my stopping point. I am not one for reading but I find this book going by extremely fast!
ReplyDeleteI understand you're not a big reader, but how does Running Loose compare to other books you have read? Has anything surprised you in this book so far?
DeleteThe reason I was interested in reading the book Chinese Handcuffs was because I wanted to see how the characters would cope with their past traumatic experiences and how it will bring them closer together. So far, the book is very enjoyable, and I like the concept of the main character Dillon writing letters to his late brother Preston. I like how the book shows that even a schools most popular successful athlete may not have a picture-perfect life at home. It shows us that you never know what someone else is going through, and their life at school can be very different than their personal life.
