Goosebumps #3

I was continuing reading on Goosebumps which was written by R.L.Stine. This chapter was still on competition of two boys.
My prediction was wrong, Wilson didn’t draw more superheroes, but while they were going back home, Wilson showed his new bicycle which Mia seem to like it more than Jack’s bicycle. Jack lost again!!
After that they rode back home to Wilson’s house. Wilson and Jack were in competition again and Wilson won. When they were home, they were playing with Jack’s dog and Wilson’s dog and they were proving whose dog is better. I don’t know why they really like to compete in everything. They are friends; the word “friend” is to help each other, not to do like this.
But who knows? Accidentally, Mrs.Green was screaming across the street. Mia, Wilson, and Jack went to see what was going on. Oliver, a cat, went up to the tree and it couldn’t come down. Jack didn’t think about anything, he just wanted Mia to be proud of him, so he started climbing the tree and finally, he lost his balance and he fell down from the tree. Even Wilson gave him a chance to help the cat, but Jack still couldn’t do anything. Thus, Wilson climbed up to the tree and helped Oliver with no problem. Everyone liked Wilson, Mrs.Green hugged him and thanked to him. This event made Jack disgrace again. I feel pity to Jack because even he tried to help the cat and showed Mia, he still couldn’t do it and he lost to Wilson all over again. I also feel glad to Jack that he didn’t say any word and he tried to help Mrs.Green. Wilson was lucky again.
Mia told everyone that she is going home and reminded others to not forget to come on her birthday party. And Jack was thinking about this, he didn’t want to go because he hates party. Therefore, he made an excuse that he need to go somewhere with his parents and said that he might not be able to go.
I used reading strategies by predicting that he would go because if he leaves Wilson to stay with Mia together. He might lose Wilson about Mia again. This chapter help me imagined what was going on in a lot of events. For example, when Jack climbed up on the tree and he almost got the cat, but finally the car move a bit farther and he lost his balance, so his fell down from the tree.

I think that you forgot to write about objective that we did in English class. Did you do it?

I think that sometimes you use the pastence, and presentence, but you wrote what you felt after reading the book was good.

You don't seem to be interested in this book. Why did you choose it and why are you losing interest?
