Spring Break Post

How is the book different than you thought? What do you like? What do you wonder? What would you change?-- why?

  1. I think that the book has more suspense then I thought there would be. I like that Kit trusts Hannah and will seize every opportunity to find Hannah a new friend. I wonder if even more people will see Hannah for who she really is as we read more. I think I would change the fact that Matthew has no sons to help him in the field, because we would get to see Matthew's original personality.

  2. I sort of like the book in a way. Before I read the back of te cover I thought it was about a Witch. I wonder when or if Kit's friends will find out about the visits to Hannah Tupper? One thing I would change is that I would make the book more action packed or suspencefull. I prefer more of the ones like that.

  3. I didn't really expect something different from this book but I didn't know what to expect. I was expecting more witch related things and that she lived on a lake or something. I really like how Kit is not afraid to do things that sometimes might be a risk so you could say she isn't afraid to try new things. I don't really wonder anything because I think the book is going along very well. I wouldn't change anything in this story.

  4. I think it was going to be more like witch craft.... and more crazy with witch things. I like how the author put a girl in a world no like her own........ but i would change and tell i little bit more about her past life.

  6. this book is different than I thought because you would of never guessed a 16 year old (royalist) would end up in Wethersfield. I like the fact that there is a little bit of suspicion going on I truly do not know what yet, but I think there is. I wonder what will happen at the end will Kit marry John, William, or Nat. I think at the end of the book Kit will marry Nat, too. I would change the caracter Good Wife Cruff because I don't like her at all.

  7. The book was different than I thought because the title "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" sound like it would be like a mystery. Like the witch would do all these bad things or something. I like that I never know what crazy things Kit will get into and how she will solve them. I don't know what I would change about this book. Since it has a story line I couldn't really picture the book anything else.

  8. The book is different because it has gotten a lot more exciting and better written than I thought. I like the way the author describes and makes things fun to read. I wonder if Kit will marry William or not. I wouldn't change anything in this story because it already has a lot of detail and descriptions. The author introduces many characters without confusing you too much.

  9. The book is a little different than I thought because I thouht they were going to go straight into the whole "Kit is a witch" thing.
    I like how the book leads you on different pathes but then you realize you're on the same road.
    I wonder why they added Prudence's dad in there if he's not going to do something-yet.
    I would change Kit teaching Prudence in the meadow to Kit teaching Prudence in her house because if Mathew Wood found out, it would add a little tension to the book.

  10. i think the book is different than i thought because i never really expected it to introduce the characters in such a way and the events are very cool too. I like the way the author made it seem kit was going to be friends with a witch but she is really just a nice old lady.I wonder if kit will give up william and start to court with nat and then live a sea life, because the author seems to life surprises and that seems like it might happen.

  11. The book is different than I thought because I thought Kit was going to concider going back to Barbados because she missed it so much! I also thought that Kit woudld marry William Ashby because she always is thinking and talking about the good things that would change if she married him. I like the the way Hammah talks ,speeks and acts around Kit and Nat. I like the way she does that because it shows what a nice person she really is. I wonder if William is going to turn down his offer to Kit, and I also wonder if Kit is going to change the way she feels around Hannah. I would change the way people think about Hannah because she wouldn't be accused of being a witch.

  12. I like how the author describes things like the meadow and Kit's clothes. I wonder what will happen if Kit is accused of being a witch again. I wouldn't change anything.

  13. The book is different to me because i thought Kit would meet a real wich or Kit would be a witch.What I really like so far is the different ways of how kit tries to deal with her new life. Also I wonder if Kit and Nat will start to like each other more.

  14. I thought the witch thing would be a HUGE part through out the book . Instead it ( I think ) will be a big part later , but it is not a really major part yet .

  15. It's different because I thought that Kit was going to be more kind of Girly-ish. I Think that they should change how Mr. Kimberly fired Kit. It would have been nice if she had stayed on the Dame school staff to help Mercy. She could have at least stayed as the cafateria lady or something.

  16. This book is way different then i thought I thought the book was going to be focused on the witch thing the whole time. I like that it isn't though. If it were it would be a boring book. If I could change something I would change just like Hannah said the part where kit gets fired. I wonder If i did change that part would the book be a tottaly different story because thats when she goes to the meadow and meets Hannah Tupper and now Hannah Tupper is a big part of the story.

  17. I thought Nat would get off to help kit with stuff that she needed help on or something like that,but also i thought that she would get better (get used to) at doing chores. I would change the way judith saw kit. To me she doesnt seem that she doesn't really like her cousin as kit would like her and it seems kinda mean if kit didn't do anything to judith.

  18. I really enjoy this book so far! At first, when I read the back of the book, I thought that the majority of it was going to be about the witch thing, like Grace said. Will John Holbrook court Judith? Will the Puritians find out about Kit's relationship with Hannah? And if they do, how? I like how you never know what Kit will do next. She is a very unpredictable character, don't you think? It is very hard to think of something I would change, but if I wrote this, I would probably not put so much romance through-out the whole book!

  19. I thought the book would be like this movie I saw where the main girl visits this blind witch but it's not like that at all. So far the books been okay and there's nothing I really would change. I wonder if Kit's going to actually marry William Ashby. Maybe she'll just turn him down like the girl in Dovey Co.

  20. i thought that kit was going to have a bigger seen with a real witch. even though i do like the book i wonder why kit doesn't obey and not see the "witch". if i were to change the book by making the witch more of a witch because the book is about a witch but there isn't a witch... unless there is another different witch we dont know yet

  21. I think the book is different in a way because i thought it was going to be some sci fi book that takes place in 3939457985762897698275762 where theres mosters roming the planet but i was wrong in a lot of places

  22. I like how kit found out about the meadow. But we still have not heard about a blackbird. I thought that the witch would be bad. I wonder if we will ever hear about that blackbird. I would change how everyone is not in the stocks for gossiping about hannah tupper being a Quaker and being a witch and I just wanted to add the only way that hannah tupper survived the flood because she is a witch.

  23. The book is different than I thought beacuse at first it looked like to me it would be a fiction book with magic in it. I turned out to be something that could have really happened in the 1600's. I like how the author is so discriptive about things in the book because it makes it easy to imagine whats going on. If there was something I could change, it would be that there could be more action in it.

  24. The book is different because in real life all the things that Kit has done wrong, they would have put her in the stocks.I would change how Kit met Hannah instead of Kit meeting her my crying, I would make Kit get lost in the wood and she finds Hannah.

  25. I like the emotion and personality the author put into the book. Especially when Kit is fired. I think that there will be a surprising new turn in the book.

  26. well the book was very different than i thought it would be.I like how prudence is happy to know that hannah tupper is not a witch.She really doesn't really like her mom for saying that she is not smart.If i was the Author I would not like the people to think about hannah like that.Because I think that those people should not think of hannah,because what if someone said that you are a witch I don't think that would feel good so ya thats why.

  28. At first, before I read the back of the book I thought it was about a witch that turned everyone into mice with her magical powers, but I was wrong. I liked the way the author wrote that Kit got fired from the Dame school. It really made a twist in the book. One way I would change it is make more twists in the book like when she got fired from the school.
