Mallory and the Mystery Diary Chapters 6-10

Chapter 6

This chapter wasn’t very eventful. Mallory had her first session with Buddy today. It didn’t go very well. Buddy was not very enthusiastic about his tutoring. I don’t really blame him very much. I never looked forward to my math tutoring sessions, either. Well, I did one time because my tutor was cute, but he was a grown man and I was a ( Read more... )

I heard about this professor at my college who taught math using poker--haha, now that sounds cool ( ... )

It’s just so nice to see Mallory get a chance to shine and to see Buddy become interested in reading.

I love when Mallory gets and her tutoring Buddy's my favorite part of the book. She comes up with a lot of good and fun ideas. I also loved how when the first session doesn't go well Mallory decides to think of a different method. I really don't think any of the other girls would have considered that.

On the subject of reading, I agree I really doubt the Pike's allow the horrible bullshit their kids dish out on a daily basis but draw the line at comic books. I read a lot of comic books, BSC books, LS books, SV Kids SV Twins, etc as a kid and I grew to love reading, so what's the big damn deal? What 8 year old is going to say "holy shit, the library has War and Peace! It's my lucky day ( ... )

Mallory figures that the stories in Buddy’s reader aren’t very fun. Yeah, some school books were boring as fuck and I dreaded going to class and having to discuss them. It’s fine if I was discussing a book I like, but if it’s a book I hate, I have no desire to spend an hour discussing symbolism.-I hated some of the books I had to read in school, The Scarlet Letter is horrible, I am the Cheese sucked and so did alot of others. I always wondered about symbolism too; who the Hell knows why authors did things a certain way? And when you're an English major, most of the authors are dead and it's not like you can ask them at all ( ... )

I always wondered that too. How do they know what was in an author's head when they were writing? Even more so when the author lived four, five hundred years ago? And when their world was so completely different from now.

But I never got what was wrong with comics as a whole. The kid's reading something that they enjoy, so again.... WHAT'S THE DAMN PROBLEM? Leaf through the thing first if they're so concerned!

I agree comics are fun. I don't see what the problem is. Or why they don't see it as a opportunity to build off of? See what the kid's reading and find books similar to the comics or with similar themes.

=Exactly!

Or why they don't see it as a opportunity to build off of? See what the kid's reading and find books similar to the comics or with similar themes.=You'd think a teacher would know these things!
