In a 2 sentence summary of what I read today was about the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. What happened was in chapter 5, Snowball was giving a speech and Napoleon didn't seem to happy about it. Soon after, a group of large dogs came in and attacked Snowball.

The author did use language to create a picture in my head in the book I was reading. The way they described it was not too vague and had lots of detail about what it is describing. For example “Levi fell into the bank of the Niagara River. Flat to the mud, his chest heaving, sucking at the air like he couldn't find any.“ The descriptive language helped me envisioned a picture in my mind, what the book is telling me.

A story can change in a different time and place because the time and setting is usually an important piece of a story, without it the reader would be lost. So if the setting changed, then it would be likely that the plot would also change because the plot would sometimes rely on the setting. For time, if the story took place before the 2000s, then people would use more older technology than they what we would have right now.

A character's actions can affect in the story by what type of action it is, how big of an impact of the action can have and how does that shape the plot. If the character's actions have a huge impact in the story, then it would probably be likely it would change another's point of view on something. If it's a tiny action, then it would probably not affect anyone/anything at all. Of course there could be more, but those 3 is what I have right now.

This book is just a fiction book, nothing else just fiction.

So why I picked this book was only because it was the one of the only books that I haven't read that is in my reading level and something that I also haven't read.
The story so far is about a boy named Solomon who has been a slave in America and him and his family is on a journey to escape from America to the northern part of Canada, but it's mainly their for freedom.
