S.C - We have * describe 3 characters look and personalites * identified the main themes in our novel * described in detail where our novel takes place so that a picture is created in the readers head. * listed the main events in our story * written about what I liked and didn't like about our novel and given recommendation for intended audience

media type="file" key="See ya Simon .mov" width="510" height="510" Wow T-J that is a brilliant novel study with very interesting features such as the background and also the border around the text. I think your writing is very descriptive however you could make the plot summary a little bit longer and state the quite important parts. Great job T-J, I really learnt a lot of things about the book! Below are just a few things that don't make sense or spelling mistakes.
 * Buddy comment:**

In the setting I think you need to read through it again and fix the sentence that doesn't quite make sense. In the charter of Simon, when you mention the muscular dystrophy you wrote an where it was meant to be a. In the plot there is a few things that don't quite make sense, you will need to just go through it again and fix them up. In the Review (theme) page on the title is says rewiew which doesn't make sense.
 * Slight mistakes**
