| jonathand | 3/4 5:07 PM | I know this has got to be lots and lots of fun :) |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:07 PM | pretty good |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:07 PM | lots and lots.... and lots of fun |
| angier | 3/4 5:07 PM | haha |
| asharp | 3/4 5:07 PM | did you read the article in the "notes" section? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:08 PM | yes |
| asharp | 3/4 5:08 PM | cool, we are good to go then |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:08 PM | What have you learned about the word genre when it comes to books? |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:08 PM | What does it mean? |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:08 PM | Any idea? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:08 PM | well |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:09 PM | It has to do with what the book is about |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | Pretty much |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | What style of the book |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | Newspapers are one type of genre |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:09 PM | like Sci-fi books do with Science fiction |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | Magazines are another type |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | Yup |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:09 PM | right |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | Very good |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | Alrighty |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | what kind of genre would you call this text |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:09 PM | as far as this book goes |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:09 PM | Does it have one? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:10 PM | It's tough to say |
| angier | 3/4 5:10 PM | i agree |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:10 PM | What we learned in class is that this is a multi-genre text |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:10 PM | yeah |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:10 PM | I was going to say that |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:11 PM | Sorry |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:11 PM | way to go |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:11 PM | hah |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:11 PM | I should shutup and let you speak |
| asharp | 3/4 5:11 PM | I like books like this... it kinda goes back to the perspective thing we were talking about earlier |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:11 PM | just kidding, john... anyway the book does deal with a fictional problem |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:12 PM | perspectiveanal book... perhaps? |
| asharp | 3/4 5:12 PM | haha |
| asharp | 3/4 5:12 PM | I'll go with that |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:13 PM | it might have to do with... media |
| asharp | 3/4 5:13 PM | so why does Avi use thie "perspectiveanal" or multi-genre type text? |
| asharp | 3/4 5:13 PM | go with the media thought |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:13 PM | like the newspaper genre... only a part of it |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:13 PM | The story is like a box of Legos |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:14 PM | the media builds it into anything it wants to |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:14 PM | therefore |
| asharp | 3/4 5:14 PM | nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| angier | 3/4 5:15 PM | very nice |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:15 PM | this book is a media book |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:15 PM | thank you |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:15 PM | You should copyright that analogy |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:15 PM | Impressed a lot of people here with it |
| asharp | 3/4 5:15 PM | so.. go with the lego thought.. how does that relate to the "truth"? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:15 PM | yes I have a lot of those |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:16 PM | that as far as the media is concerned there is no "concrete" truth |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:16 PM | There is never any concrete truth |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:16 PM | As you said |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:17 PM | right |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:17 PM | the media molds and shapes the truth like clay |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:17 PM | like legos without directions... there's always a flaw |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:17 PM | Legos rock! |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:17 PM | exactly |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:17 PM | sorry |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:17 PM | thinking out loud there |
| asharp | 3/4 5:18 PM | boys |
| asharp | 3/4 5:18 PM | (rolling eyes) |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:18 PM | So, would you tell any friends about this book? |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:18 PM | thanks Alison |
| asharp | 3/4 5:18 PM | : ) |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:18 PM | Would you recommend it to anybody? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:18 PM | well |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:19 PM | If anyone came up to me and said "hey Jamison, read any good books recently |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:19 PM | " |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:19 PM | Why would you recommend it? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:19 PM | It's not sensational but I would recommend it |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:20 PM | I think it hooked me |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:20 PM | Ok |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:20 PM | who is tired of talking about the book? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:20 PM | when I started I was only going to read a little |
| asharp | 3/4 5:20 PM | hey, if you want a really good book by Avi - read "The True Confessions of Charolotte Doyle" - pirate stuff |
| asharp | 3/4 5:20 PM | way better than this one |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:20 PM | cool |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:20 PM | but I read the whole thing |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:20 PM | Yeah, me too |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:21 PM | Jamison |
| asharp | 3/4 5:21 PM | well that is a complement to the book then : ) |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:21 PM | ok |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:21 PM | I guess |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:21 PM | Why do you not like the Lord of the Rings books |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:21 PM | it's dumb |
| asharp | 3/4 5:22 PM | I read those in High School and loved them.. |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:22 PM | I don't know |
| angier | 3/4 5:22 PM | did you like the movies? |
| asharp | 3/4 5:22 PM | but some people really don't like fantasty... |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:22 PM | I never saw them |
| angier | 3/4 5:22 PM | you should. they're good |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:22 PM | You said in your email... |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:22 PM | fantasty I think you can get obsessed in |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:22 PM | that you did not like them because they are "pop"ular.... |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:22 PM | Is that true? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:22 PM | that too |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:23 PM | and I don't know why |
| asharp | 3/4 5:23 PM | that is a good point Jamison.. some people don't know how to draw the line between make-believe and reality |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:23 PM | I guess you do not like Harry Potter, either |
| asharp | 3/4 5:23 PM | and they actually believe they live in the world they are reading about |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:23 PM | ?? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:23 PM | like Star Wars movies are cool but |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:23 PM | there are wackos out there |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:23 PM | no way for Harry Potter |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:23 PM | STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| jamisonS | 3/4 5:23 PM | I love Star Wars |
| asharp | 3/4 5:23 PM | yea, I'll go with Star Wars |

| jamisonS | 3/4 5:25 PM | cause the new ones... the characters |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:25 PM | You could say that Harry Potter is the new age of Star Wars |
| jonathand | 3/4 5:25 PM | even though..... |
