Sarah’s Emotional Response
• I think it was my level of book .It was really interesting book. I felt
it was really detailed it explained the words really well.It was sad in
some parts. When a mans feet were in the air it made me feel sad for
him. I think it was scary too when the planes were flying over
bombing and there was body parts all over the beach. I liked it most
of the way but some parts were confusing so I felt like it was not the
easiest book that I have ever read before but I still kind of liked it.
Now I am really glade that didn't happen to me. I now that they
went threw a hard time.There was a lot of people in the hospital and
amber billows helped her mom with all of the people. They came
home every day with blood on them. That made me fell bade for the
people.
Keeley’s Emotional Response
• When the people were bombing Pearl Harbor it
made me feel sad because their body parts were
all over and that must have been painful. When
her mom was in the nurses office people came in
every minute and she was getting blood all over
her coat that she had to wear. The book was also
interesting because it had a lot of facts on Pearl
Harbor in it. It also has pictures and they were
interesting.
Jayme’s
Emotional
Response
I think that this story of Pearl Harbor was happy, sad and interesting in
different parts. The happy part(s) was when Amber Billows figured
out that everyone in her family was okay and was not injured in any
way. The sad part(s) was when Amber was helping her mom in
hospital and all of her family in their mom and dads room when all
they could hear at night is explosions and the Japanese Planes flying.
the shelter area with all of the injured and dying people. At that point I
was feeling really bad for those people. The interesting part(s) was
when amber and her brother Andy were hiding under the tipped over
coach and where covered with blankets and pillows. I was really
proud of Amber because she was really brave when she was home with
only her brother when the Japanese were bombing them and all the
could hear was big noises and Japanese Planes flying. Now I feel
lucky that I didn’t have to live through that time and go through all that
Amber Billows went through on those days with her brother Andy at
home, her mom at the hospital and her whole family in her mom and
dads room at night when all that you could hear is the big noises of
explosions and the Japanese Planes flying over their heads. They had
gone through a lot and some sacrifices that some people would not
have gone through. Like when she left the house with her mom to go
to the hospital and help the people who are injured. That is how I feel
about the book.
