  19. 1) I really don’t know what the book is going to be about. I can’t tell what a book will be about just by the title.
    2) I could draw a picture like what we did with “STUCK IN NUTRAL”

  20. 1)I think the book is going to about a boy

  21. The Bronx is in New York so I know the books setting is going to be in New York. Masquerade is a word that is unfamiliar to me so I’m waiting to read the book to find out what it means. From what I heard the Bronx, New York is full of bad people. Honestly I think this book will be about a man who starts off with a bad life and makes something of his self. The Bronx Masquerade is going to be a drama book I just know it. One thing I am sure of is that the book is in New York City.

    Think about the title the Bronx Masquerade I think about what the word masquerade. The word masquerade is to be some body that your not. I think the book will be about a boy who is pretending to be something that he’s not.

    2) Think about what type of project we could do for this book. (Don't write the answer to this question.)

    I believe that a guy named Bronx is something he really isn’t. He probably lies about his life. He also could be lying to get things he wants. He’s probable doing it to be popular. This is what I think it’s about.

  26. My predictions to the new book we about to read is that they might be gangs, fights and or they are going to be like what happen in like the 1900’s. Also I predicted that it would be in New York City because it sat Bronx. That’s what I think this book is going to be about.

  27. I predict that the book will be about a masked party because that a masquerade like in Italy would be a festival when every one wheres a mask.

    The book is in New York, is about a class of kids who express their personal lives through raps and poems. It's also like a life of a typical teen's life. This is all i remember from the book. I didn't finish reading the whole book.

  29. From finding out what "masquerade" means, it can mean that the Bronx has a false show or an act. I'm not so sure what this means but I know that this is the definition.

  33. Just by looking at the title I can make many predictions or inferences but there was one in particular that caught my attention. Some of the predictions that I can make are that it is going to be about a boy who is hiding something. The reason why I say that is because looking at the picture the boy is looking into the sky. I’m guessing that the boy is hiding something and does not know what to do so he is praying.

    Thinking about the title the predictions I can make is like a nonfiction prediction because the title seems like it has to do with real life events that happen till his day. Just by looking at masquerade it seems like it’s going to be interesting. And that’s all the prediction I can make so far.
