Hello, my fellow students. Listen up! You will hear me speak! NOW!
The book I am writing about is The Egypt Game and the genre is a combination of mystery, adventure, and make believe. There are three main characters. Their names are April, Elizabeth, and Melanie. April is a show off, but later in the book she is very nice and friendly. Elizabeth is very smart and has reddish hair. Melanie is a very friendly and nice African American who loves to use her imagination. The setting is an imaginary Egypt created by April and Melanie, in the back of the professor’s shop. Much of the story takes place in Melanie’s family’s apartment.
A quote, “Ouch” several times and a couple of other words that Melanie wasn’t allowed to say. “-- --!”. This connects to my life because a lot of movies that I watch now have cursing, and it seems that no matter where I am, people curse everywhere these days. Even when I was playing basketball, one of my cousins cursed. For me this book was quite slow moving and I would have liked more action. My question is, why do you think April was allowed to curse?

In the Egypt Game, April was not allowed to swear. Nobody was. They did not even mention anything to do with swearing, so why did you say April was allowed to swear?
