My Brother Sam Is Dead

Happy weekend 304!

I want you to post a comment that tells what your thoughts are about the novel we are beginning Monday. Are you looking forward to reading it? Have you read a lot of historical fiction? What are you thinking the book is about? You do not have to just answer these questions, they were just a starting point to get your minds thinking. Your comments should be a few sentences and show thought and effort.

See you all Monday!

  1. What I think the novel "My Brother Sam Is Dead" is going to be about is a brothers brother(Sam)is in the army and gets killed and Sam's brother will have to go through the rough times and the good times without him. I am also looking forward to reading this book because I have never actually read a historical fiction book that sounds so interesting and I love books with mystery and suspense.

  2. I am very excited to start reading our new novel "My brother Sam is Dead" because based on the cover of the book it looks very interesting. I think that it may take place during some kind of war. I also think that the book might be very sad because i think it's about the death of one brother and the hard times that the other brother has to go through without him. I mainly read mystery and drama books. I normally do not read historical fiction books, but I feel that this historical fiction book is going to be very interesting to read.

  3. I am not really interested in the novel. I'm not really into historical fiction. But the title, "My Brother Sam is Dead",does seem interesting. I think that this book is about two brothers who where close and Sam does but the other one has visions about him or something like that.

  4. I'm not very excited to read this book. I think the novel is based on two brothers that probably had a great realtionship when they were young to each other and later on "Sam" dies and the other brother is torn up.....or something like that.

  6. I am not excited about this book. Mostly because it is a histrical noval. But the title dose seem interesting. In this noval i think that there will be two brothers, that are very close and are in the military. Sam is killed and his brother is very sad about it and cant tell the family that Sam died, so he lies to them.

  7. I think the book "My Brother Sam is Dead" will take place during the Civil War and his brother Sam will die and he will have to take his place in the war. I'm looking forward to this book, I believe it will be exciting and keep you at the edge of your seat. I have not read a lot of historical fiction books, but I'm super excited about this book.

  8. I think this book will be good because the title sounds mysterious, and I like mysteries. I think this book is going to be about a girl or boy that has a brother named Sam, and that girl or boy spent alot of time with Sam. Then one day, they were shocked at the fact that their brother Sam was dead. Then later on they try to find out what happened to Sam.

  9. I think that "MY Brother Sam is Dead" will be a very interesting book because it looks like it will be between Revolutionary/Civil War time, or in the 1700s or 1800s. I would also like to read this book because I have read some books dating to that time like "Elijah of Buxton". I also think we might be able to learn a little about more about history from reading this book.

  12. I think the book My Brother Sam is Dead is going to be about a boy who lost in brother in an accident while in a war. While the boy knows he tries not to tell anyone in case they shatter there dreams of seeing him one day. I am not really thrilled about this book because it a history one, but who knows it can turn out to be a great book.

  13. I think that "My Brother Sam Is Dead" will be an interesting book because it has to do with historical fiction and the Revolutionary War. I think that Sam will die in the war because the title is "My Brother Sam is Dead" and it might point out the obvious.
