readers response

i found it really interesting when he says that some stories let you read what happened but you want the person to experience what happened. i also really like the so what part of it, it makes you think about what is so important about the story.

every one has a story

Chris Brown has a life filled with many adventures and experiences. In Chris's spare time he likes to go to the mall, skate and snowboard. His dad is the person he looks up to the most. Chris has seen Italy and other parts of Europe first hand. The saddest moment of his life was when his grandma died. Chris has been actively involved in soccer and LINC at Eastview.

Reading response

I really liked in this section the information is being compared to things that are easy to understand. I enjoyed reading the pearl harbor story but I thought it was really sad, but I thought it was easy to understand. I found it helpful that they tell you how to pick a soundbite. That should be helpful for us.

Readers Response

I thought the stories in the book were really interesting. I liked reading about them and then having it be explained what was going on with the camera man and all the other people. i really liked that he went into so much detail about all the things that you can do to get the answer from the witness.
