As you may guess I strongly repel Sharon Creech's Walk Two Moons. Out Of The Dust was truley a richly layered novel. Describing in a sensitive way of how one's life can easily spin out of control and through the process how to learn and grow stronger after facing these trials. The only part that was bit flawed is when after the accident nothing really dramatical happened, which is some really classical elements to add in such a scene. In Walk Two Moons, everything seemed plain and dull. The talkative one, Phoebe was the biggest failure, numbered second is Sal's wussiness and unreasonable love for Ben. Think closly, and you will find it clear that Walk Two Moons is clearly nothing to do with reality.
I think this book is better then Walk Two Moons. I thinkm poems can show the moods and the situations more clearly. So when the readers read it, it is just like that you are the author. I think everyone should rea thyis book because it is a symbol beteen people and people.
I think that Out Of The Dust is better then Walk Two Moons. It's because, well, of cause, each section in Out Of The Dust is shorter then Walk Two Moons. -.- Well, in this book, we can learn more about poems and the history about America. Also, I don't like the story that the section of the book is messy, that is, the time of the stories in Walk Two Moons are a little confusing. Another reason is, well, I'm serious, the picture of the author of Walk Two Moons is not so....
I think that both " Walk Two Moons " and "Out Of The Dust " are books that are worth to read, both of the books are well written and express in a way. Each of books have it's own style but still I like" Walk Two Moon" better then "Out Of The Dust " because" WTM" is easier to understand then "OOTD". Another reason is like chapter books(novel) better than poems. And also "WTM"is more interested to me because of the mystery about what happen to Sal's mother and what is the relationship between Mrs.Cadaver and Mr.Birkway and Sal's dad."Out Of The Dust' is kind let me felt boring in somehow. Maybe each chapter or page is to short or simply I that just doesn't like Poems.
I think both Walk Two Moons and Out Of The Dust are great books to read. But actually, I like WTM better because the story is much happier and more interesting than Out Of The Dust, and it is easier to understand.(I think the tunes of parts of Out Of The Dust are difficult to understand) The vocabularies of WTM are also not too difficult and not too many. The figurative languages in WTM are not so confusing as Out Of The Dust, too.But, like Jeff had said, the chapters of Out Of The Dust are surely much sorter than WTM.
Walk Two Moons is too illusory to read, it is so hard for me to read, and not easy to understand the meaning in teh story. But Out of The Dust is the story that show in the poem, and based on the true happenings or event, that makes me more easy to realize that story, and we can thought and discuss teh issue that based on the historical event, like the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, that is the good waly to read the books!
I think Out of the Dust is an "okay" book. I mean, it tells us about The Great Depression and explains life in that time (and it was really fine), but the book just doesn't fit my style.... And besides, the characters are not real. If you give me a book about someone who really experienced this event, I would be more gladly to read. Walk Two Moons are fictional, all right, but it was about a girl's story (maybe fantasy?!), and I myself think it would be more acceptable.... Besides, Sal and Phoebe weren't just like the girls next door, they are, as a matter of fact, not that normal. And that's what make the story more interesting. :P
PS. The Westing Game?? How about some Stephen King's? He is the most awesome-est!
I like this book more than walk two moons. I think out of the dust is easier to read by using poem. Poems are also more interesting and more vivid. Some of the plots in out of the dust are dramatic and it attracks me to read. walk two moons's space time is a little confusing for me. But the most important reason that i like out of the dust than walk two moons is that out of the dust is shorter!!
I think both Out Of The Dust and Walk Two Moons are very interesting, but I like Walk Two Moons better. I think discribing an event and expressing feelings by poems are very special, and I enjoy it very much, but sometimes, there isn't enough details. I get pretty confused sometimes becuase I don't get enough information about the characters and the happenings. Also, Out Of The Dust is some kind of diary, and when I'm reading it, I feel like I'm reading Biilie Jo's diary. It's a little bit hard to understand, since it is based on her thoughts and her background. On the other hand, Walk Two Moons has more details and the story attracts me more than Out Of The Dust. Walk Two Moons is about Sal telling a story, it feels like I'm listening to the story that she is saying, and I can understand it clearly. Also, there are three stories going on at the same time, but I'm not confused at all, so I think I like Walk Two Moons is better than Out Of The Dust. Chelsea=)
I think this book is better than Walk Two Moons.I like the way Billie Jo described her stories, and the circumstances of this story always surprising me.I think this book is a cliffhanger.We can learn some spirit or experiences fromBillie Jo.Her attitude of life,of family,and of the society,let me startede to think of myself.If I were her,what would I do? I think Out Of The Dust is easier to understand what it's talking about.Walk Two Moons is not that easy to know what Phoebe was thinking about.Maybe is because in Out Of The Dust,Billie Jo just wrote about what how she felt,and I can easily feel what she feel.I really like this book alot.Well, maybe is because this story is shorter!^ ^
I like both Out Of The Dust and Walk Two Moons. I can feel the thinking and emotion inside the Billie Jo. The poem discribe the feeling better, I think. Using a lot of smilie and others makes the comparation and makes the reader know the idea more. For Walk Two Moons, it is a little messy, I mean, the author write three different time in the story. Being not the poem, the story express more details and some tinny things much clear. Although having lots of hard words(just to me), the plot of both books are impressive and great.
I like "Out of the Dust" better. It's because in "Walk two moons" the stories are much longer and I hade to spend lots of time working on it. And the vocabularies are hard too. In "Walk two moons" we could learn about the states in America. But in "Out of the Dust" we could understand the situation during the 1930s about the Great Depression. One help us on the geogrphy. The other one help us on the history part. They both help us a lots.
I think the plot of Walk Two Moon and Out of the Dust are similar. They both have female main character and their mother both died. I can’t tell which book I like better, but I think the plot of WTM is more interesting. There are more transitions in WTM, most of the reader like changes. The value of Out of the Dust is that there are a lot of figurative languages and the background of it. But the plot of Out of the Dust seems to be less fresh, and the plot makes reader feel weak, it’s too sad. But I think both of the novels are worth to read, I enjoy reading them.
I think both Walk Two Moon and Out Of The Dust are great to read. "Out Of The Dust" is shorter, "Walk Two Moon" is suspenseful. Actually I like "Walk Two Moon" more than "Out Of The Dust". Read "Out Of the Dust" need much time, I need to think, some of the word is hard, and sometime I have to think what it mean than I can get the point. I like this book, just like what classmates said, it's much shorter! And it's suspenseful, in this book, the poem use lots of figurative languages and more dramatic than "WTM" so I like this book too! by cindy
I think poem really make this book had more space to make us think because it doesn't express things like paragraphs that told us everything. But in another hand poems are a little harder to read since it uses words harder and tells us not many details so many time you have to guess the meaning but it's also fun. =) by*David
I do like this book. It's shorter than other book, because it's poem. But it's still a good story. So I like this book.And I could read more than jusy the story,but also about the ecomany at that time, and other things too. I like it more than walk two moon, because it is more easy to understand.SO I like this book.
I think despite the length of Walk Two Moon, I like its story better. I like the three stories that intersect each other, I think that makes the whole story more complex and interesting. Also I think that the whole book of "Out of the Dust" is in a sad mood, but some part of the "Walk Two Moons" was fuuny and amusung. And the suspicious plot of "Walk Two Moons" really attract me a lot. But I like the length of "Out of the Dust" more! It was much shorter than "Walk Two Moon" and reading it wouldn't be so difficult like "Walk Two Moons" =P.
I like Out of the Dust more than Walk Two Moons. I can read Out Of The Dust with some entertaining voices and I also can read it with many kinds of tempo. Of course, the most important thing that I like this book is that the words in this book is less than Walk Two Moons. But both of these novel stories are interesting at the end. I sometime feels boring at the beginning of the story. I think that the story in Out Of The Dust shows more clearly than Walk Two Moons. That is, I can know the relationship about Billie Jo and her parents more clearly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I like Out Of The Dust.I can know more information about America in that time. The poems can show the character's mood much than normal novel. But i love walk two moon than Out of the dust. I think Walk Two Moon is much interesting. I really don't not the sad stories, when i read them, i will feel sad to them. And i like interesting book.
I think that two books to me is kind of same, but maybe i'll like Walk Two Moons more. Out Of The Dust, as i said, although it's easier to read, it has less detail and sometimes makes people can't really understand what's going on. On the other hand, Walk Two Moons is harder, but the context is more clear and you can really fit in the story.
I don't really like the book. Not because the book is boring, but it is because poems somtime confused me. If it confused me, I would have to use many times to understand it. It really took me a lot of times. I like Walk Two Moons better than Out of the Dust. Although both of them took me a lot of time, but I enjoyed Walk Two Moons mor.
I like Walk Two moons better than Out of The Dust. Although Out of The Dust shows mood better and also it is shorter, but I don't like things happen in only one person's point of view. In Walk Two moons I can know how the events happened, it doesn't d iscribe much about Sal's motion, but it also make the readers touch. I like both books, but Walk two Moons better. I like to know how a story happens but not really how the main character really feels. But both of them are really good, I enjoy it very much. =)
Actually, I like Walk Two Moons. I think Out Of The Dust is a little hard to understand. Maybe it's because I don't like poems. There are a lot of new words to learn. It is difficult for me to learn new words. But I think it is still an fantastic book. It tells us about what happened in Billie Jo's family. It also tells us what was wrong with Billie Jo and her father after her mother died. Maybe I will never read the book like this. I don't like poems!!
I don't like this book very much. Because of the poetries and some difficult words, I sometimes can't understand what the author wanted to us to know. I think I like "Walk Two Moons" than "Out of the Dust." I think that "Walk Two Moons" is more interesting than Billie Jo's story. In my opinions poems are mor fun and more romantic than paragraphs, but paragraphs can show the story from the bigining to the end. That is what poems can't do.
I can not say that I love it really much, but this type of literature is definitely fresh to me. The advantage of the book is that it really gives us the emotions. You can easily and suddently get the informaion of the character's mood by reading through the simple words in the poems. But the flaws of the book is you cant have a exact picture of the story in your mind as you're reading these poems. The dust bowl, the life during great depression, the dust storm of the black sunday, the barren fields, I would like to see more description and protrayal of these scenes, but the author didn't give us many visual facts. I think this is a good sory though, and like many other people's ideas, this book is better than "Walk Two Moons", because your emotion really goes up and down as reading the poems, but Walk Two Moons is just "so-so"...... by Jeff Tsai
Actually not. because there have too many difficult word to learn and read, but each of books have it's own style but still I like" Walk Two Moon" better then "Out Of The Dust," "Walk Two Moon" is more interesting than "Out Of The Dust.”But "Out Of the Dust" tell us about the great Depression, it was fine, so both are good, but “Walk Two Moon" more
I really like this book. It's fewer than Walk Two Moons (some pages have only fifty words!!!) Also when I read this book make me feel that I am much more clever than normal time because in this book there are many hard words then I can look up the dictionary, find the meaning of it and learn a new engligh word!!!!(ha ha ha...just joking... I always forget it after few days later...)( but it really makes me feel that I am more clever~ BECAUSE IT IS POETRY!!!AND I HAVEN'T READ AN ENGLISH POETRY BEFORE~ ) But if we need to compare to Walk Two Moons, I prefer Walk Two Moons. Because I like to read stories!(it always have many situations that can makes you keep and keep and keep reading!!) Any kind of stories!Murder, mystery, romantic, horrible...Any kinds are good! But poetry...It makes me feel a little far from me.( Hard to understand whay the author is taiking about ) so next time, please teacher, don't choose a poetry, choose an interesting story!!! by anny^^
