Goosebumps #1

I am reading a new book called “Goosebumps” which was written by R.L.Stine. The story has begun with a boy named Jack Johnson. He always had a terrible time with his friends named Wilson. Wilson was a boy who liked to compete in every single thing and had to prove that he’s the best at everything. Even chewing bubble gum, he tried to blow bigger bubbles. When Johnson’s bubble was twice as big as Wilson’s, he said that his was rounder. It shows that Wilson was a kind of selfish and obstinate person. These stuffs reminded me of one of my friends which always tried to be cool in front of everyone. He never listens to others. For example, when I played games with him, even I am better; I have to let him beat me because he might get angry. It taught me that sometimes we don’t need to beat everyone. In my opinion, if we let them win, it would keep our good relationship. I think the goal of Johnson is stop Wilson thinking that he is a lot better than Johnson.
I used the reading strategies When I see the cover of this book, I would predict that some of the characters in the story will have a skill that make them fly because at the cover page, the picture showed boy’s leg which is on the sky with geese. After I read the book for a couple pages, the first thing that came up was his face. This chapter was quite easy to understand so I didn’t use the dictionary, but I stopped and think after I read couple paragraph.
