Write a one-paragraph (4-5 sentences) response to the movie. Did you enjoy it? Was the ending sufficient? Would you recommend it to someone else? Words helped Akeelah with the National Spelling Bee; what will words help you do?

Yes, I enjoyed the movie, and the ending was definatly suffiicient. I would you recommend it for someone else because it not only helps with vocabulary words but in addition it keeps you interested. I also liked the movie because throughout the movie Akeelah was encouraged and inspired by her principal, teacher, family, community and more, it helps others to learn they can do anything they set their minds to. Even though i dont plan on being in a spelling bee, words will help me understand harder conversations and help me to embellish the way i talk.

Wuthering Heights

Emily Bronte

Genre- Gothic novel designed to both horrify and fascinate readers, also creates feelings including: gloom, mystery, and suspense.

669 pages

So far the setting is mainly at a manor called Wuthering Heights, a tall isoloated building with fierce and wild winds that blow during storms on the moors. Wuthering emphasizes the weather, and heights describes the size of the building.

My first impressions so far, is the book is going to be creepy, only because of the description from the building. I also think that the characters so far are very odd so far.
