Book Bubbles
The Witch of Blackbird Pond
by Elizabeth Speare Students in Mrs. Judy Lewis' 8th grade class
Harborside Middle School Milford, CT
- Cynthia Hidalgo "After reading this book, I realized how much
of an impact one person can have on your life and how much easier
it is to have someone to talk to who understands your problems and
can help you sort them out and cope with them."
- Evan Kimberly "I thought that this book showed how people had
trouble fitting in with the crowd in the 1600's. It was a very
exciting book."
- Mike Santava "I enjoyed it when Prudence stiffed her mother by
proving she wasn't stupid and read and wrote her name."
- Laura Ciesla "My favorite character was Kit because she
reminded me of myself in many ways. The book showed how back in the
1600's people that were different weren't accepted any more than
they are now."
- Sarah White "Adventure, love, and struggle occurred in this
book and it inspired me and it will you, too!"
- Kristin Gillotti "I think that this book's purpose was to tell
all children to show respect and not to stereotype others because
of what they believe in."
- Alexis Rooks "This book has everything a reader needs. Love,
action, suspense, drama, and you can hardly tell what will happen
next."
- Amanda Veccharelli "This book taught me a lot about how biased
people were about people they didn't know. This was worse than
today's world because there were big towns of one religion."
