When reading the Persepolis book, I sometimes understand what I am reading. I enjoy reading this book. Some of the similarities that this book has and the other books I read are there are small stories about a person. The differences of this book have than to the other books I read are there are pictures and an small amount of writing text. The other book I am reading called "The White Lamb" has no pictures and this book is longer than the book of "Persepolis". What I like about the book of Persepolis is that the book is about stories of an person, for this book, the main character is Marji. She is a child that grew up in Iran. I enjoy reading about any person and this book is an example of what I like of knowing to read. When reading the book , I don't like about the book is you have to know a lot about the time period where the story is about to understand the reading.

What are graphic novels? The graphic novels are comic stories that are photos instead of words. I have not read a graphic novel that I do not understand how to read it. The memoirs are a person who talked about a story and the autobiographies are about a person that they talked about their self or who they are. I learn about these books throughout my school year. I have read many autobiographies. I enjoy reading autobiographies, it is one of my favorite type of genres to read. I like to learn more about these books. What are these books different to each other?
The page I had left off is page 114. The reading from the pages I have read was about is the setting takes place around Christmas time. There is a bad storm with strong wind and a lot of snow is coming down that is going on. Also, there is a war happening with other countries. While there is a bad storm, there are a lot of water on the ground making all of the vegetables come up from the dirt and floating on top of the water. They tried to gather all of the vegetables and bring them inside the house. One quote in the book says " A mere cup of flour, a handful of salt, please my honorable matuska." In the book, the word matuska means mother that from Russian. This quote means help a mother by donating what she needs. The pages of what I have read was interesting to read. When I was reading, the reading made me have visual of what happening throughout the reading. The setting felt like it was happening right now.
The book I am reading is called "The White Lamb". Right now, the page I am at is page 93. What I had read was about Evaliz marrying David that they are preparing for it. Then, Evaliz is knitting things such as clothes for the baby. She had kept a secret from David because she can not say it to him, just yet. The winter is almost past that when David notices Evaliz condition. Now David thinks he would need a new job than teaching classes because it will not keep a family. Evaliz was thinking of going to Amerika ( Amerika is how they / the book spells it) , but David saying it is too far and Evaliz thinks he will always stay in Russia. The baby came out and they named him Theodore. Then, Evaliz is married, six years had gone by since their Theodore died. They have 3 other children, all girl: Elizabeth, four and one half, Nathalia, three, and Leah, one. The characters that was present in the pages I had read was Evaliz, David, Karlotta, Anna; Evaliz's brother Wilhelm's wife, and Grossmutter Volz, One quote that I read is "Maybe, we can go to Amerika?". This quote was what Evaliz said, when she told David that where they should go. One connection I have in my life is when my great- great- grandparents and family was living in Russia and they came to America. The book is very similar to my family of what they did when they was in Russia and came to America.
