 | Kyle's Book Review Dec 1, 2006 |
Kyle's Book Review *****
LA 2
By: Joeseph Bruchac
I read a great book titled the warriors.
The main characters in this story were, Jake, his mom, Thomas, Molly, Willtomore, Grandpa Sky, coach scott, Marshall, Dr carlland.
The main problem of the book occurs when, Jake tries to run home to the rez. But he cant get past the school gate only because it is only open when the busses and cars come in and the other is that there are 3 guards and wiltomore.
My favorite part of the book is the end of the book.
This was my favorite part because that is when I made all the connections.
I would recommend this book to people who like sports fiction.
I really like this book because it is about sports
I would recamend this book to people who like reading fiction sports.

I read a fiction book titled The Warriors by Joseph Bruchac. It is a terrific book. It was set between the Native American reservation and Weltimore School.
The three main characters were Jake, his mom and Coach Scott. Jake is a nice boy who is Native American. He loves to play lacrosse he goes threw a lot of events in the story. His mom his women that works a lot and doesn't get to see Jake as much as she wants to so she pops up in the story in the important events. Coach Scott he is the lacrosse coach and he is a teacher. He reads to his students about Indians and things Jake dose not like because it talks about bad stuff about his culture.
The main problem in this story occurs. When Jake tries to tell every one that what they are saying in the books Coach Scott reads to them in class about the Indians being bad people and doing bad things to other American is not true. When nobody listens to him he fells bad about his culture.
My favorite part of the book was when Jake moved in to the worries rooms because his mom could not have him stay alone at home. This was my favorite part because it had Jake make knew friends and more people to talk to.
I really liked this book because it shows you that all people are equal in different ways. I would recommend it to because it tells you that Indians.
How they used to play lacrosse and shows you that words can heart other people .
The book is a terrific book. If I could I would give it 4 stars.

The book I read was called The Warriors by Joseph Bruchac. The beginning takes place at a Native American reserve. Then, there is a bit where the main character is at his mom's house in Maryland. Most of the story takes place at Weltimore and on lacrosse fields.
The main character is Jake, an Iroquois boy who becomes a boarding student at Weltimore after leaving the reserve Jake grew up on. The other characters at the reserve are Frank Tarbell, Rick Jamieson (both are on Jake's lacrosse team), Irwin Printup (an Iroquois Faith Keeper, someone who keeps the Iroquois tradition alive), and other Iroquois people. At Weltimore, the characters are Coach Scott (Jake's history teacher and lacrosse coach), Mr. Culet (the headmaster), Kofi (a West African boy, Jake's roommate), Muhammad (a Pakistani boy, Jake's other roommate), and many, many more people who work and go to school at Weltimore. One special character is someone Jake calls Grandpa Sky, and he mostly is in the book in Jake's thoughts of the stories Grandpa Sky tells Jake. The only time he is actually in the story in the same time the book takes place is in the reserve.
There really is no problem in the story, but Jake is constantly wanting to go home. I think this is a story about a period in Jake's life where he has to face the hardship of leaving the place he grew up in and going to a new place he knows very little about. Jake also has to go to a new school and make new friends. It can be hard leaving a place you love, especially when you grow up there. I kind of know what it is like, I had to move when I was in the summer before I went to 1st grade. A short while after school started, I had already made a friend. I have a friend where I used to live and I sometimes visit, but it is never the same as when I lived there. I think the same goes for Jake, he can still visit his friends on the reserve, but not as often as when Jake lived on the reserve.
My favorite part in the book is the part where Jake and his roommate Kofi share their secrets, sort of. This is my favorite part in the book because the characters get to learn a little bit about each other.
I would give this book 3 stars because it shows examples of friendship and teamwork and it includes some life lessons. It isn't really interesting at the beginning, but to understand the most interesting parts, the parts beforehand must be read. I would recommend this book to someone who likes lacrosse (the main sport in the book), and/or someone who likes a realistic fiction books about kids in early high school or late middle school (possibly late elementary school, most likely not). When the book is completely read, it turns out to be a really good book.

I read a ok book with the title being THE WARRIORS by Joseph Bruchac. It is a historical fiction the book is in the present time. The main charters in the story are Jake and his lacrosse team friends. The main problem occurs in the book when he gets mad at the sport of lacrosse and himself because he keeps getting hurt and he can't make the team. My favorite part is when Jake finely gets better at lacrosse and he is getting to play more! It was my favorite part because he finely reached his goal. I really didn't like this book as much I thought I would because I would like more action. I would recommend this book to someone who doesn't like books with action.

I read an ok book titled The Warriors by Joseph Bruchac. It is a historical fiction book set in America, in the present time period.
The main characters in this story were Jake and his fellow team members. The book is about boy named Jake and he gets mad at the Iroquois people because they call the sport lacrosse and that means something different in America. Finally, he realizes the sport is fun.
The main problem of the book occurs when he gets mad at the sport because he keeps getting hurt and the name of lacrosse means something different in America.
My favorite part of the book was when Jake finally plays in a game. This is my favorite part because Jake showed courage, teamwork and he reached his goal, I really didn't like this book because I'm more of a football guy and also there not to much action in this book. I wouldn't recommend this book to my friend Andy because he likes pretty much the same books as me.
My rate for this book is ***
