The Dons and other books
Now we’re reading The Dons by Archie Fusillo. And you’re doing some thinking about the themes, doing an assignment of your choice. What did you get out of reading the novel? Have you had experiences with grandparents similar to Paul’s experiences? Have you learnt anything about Italian marriage customs in Nonno’s times? What sort of marriage customs do we have in Australian society? How do you know?
If you are not reading The Dons tell us about some of the parts of the novel you are reading? What is good about it, what are you not enjoying? Don’t forget to read other blogs - check out the blogs of students in Canada and leave some comments.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about your reading.
Hi Ms. Mcleay!
This post made me think about the book that I was reading. I just recently finished reaing it. My book was called “Click Here.” It was about this girl named Erin who was going to start her juniour year at a new school. Her school’s name was known as MBMS. She had an incident with a girl named Serena. Serena was very mean and self centered and said some really mean things to Erin. Erin, without knowing what she was doing, punched Serena and then got sent to the principal’s office and got detention. There was a lot more in my book, though. It was really good and you should check it out sometime, it’s written by Denise Vega. Thanks for listening.
