I recall doing book report in school and I was horrible at it. Usual I was lucky to get a B-. Had plenty of Ds. It seems teachers would have promblem if you didn't like a book, and said so with a reason. Well I'm not school now.
I heard of KURT COBAIN didn't know that much about him. I knew he was from coast of Washington and died by suiside and that all I knew about him. No dates on journal enteries, so toward end of journal it had some 1990's dates. Not sure when we start his journal and ended. He discussed early in his journal in past tense, of being bully. I could see using his journals of discussion group for people who bully and or assult someone. Don't recall him writing anything directly related to organize religion. But some political and he was very up set with far right wing of political parties. And at time they were no Donald Trump. I don't think he would been impress with our last President. He mention some of his poems and songs he written did get swiped. I guess as any journal or blog it your thoughts. Might not been greatest grammer and such. Ideals on his band though out the journal.
On front cover of his journal it say "you'll judge" and that hard to judge fair, non cruel, and honestly. Well I didn't get all excitted as I read the book. Although it does have it place as I mention above. Last thing I didn't do is not finish it, and I will be giving it to Regis. So I would strong C. My first time of so call giving book report written as journal. I guess there no set rules for journals.
Coffee is on and stay safe
I don't remember ever having to do a book report, maybe schools here do them now, but not back then. We read books and discussed them in class and then we had to answer test questions.
ReplyDeleteI go with River! We also listened to Rock Songs and had to tell what they were about - I had a cool English teacher!
ReplyDeleteIn French we listened to dumb situations and had to tell what it was about - no fun.
School. After grade 5 a waste of time ;-)
I don’t remember book reports either.
ReplyDeleteCobain died when I was teaching high school. Many of the students were devastated. It was a teachable moment to talk about suicide.
Yep, journals are better than book reports. Thank goodness we never had to do book reports, reading a book was punishment enough!! We had to read poems and passages out loud with expression. I never did well as I droned on without expression. I hope Regis enjoys the book!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about Kobain's journals.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it unfair of teachers grading low grades on book report opinions!
ReplyDeleteI used to hate doing book reports in school.
ReplyDeleteOh i remember book reports :D This is really interesting thank you for sharing.

Book reports in school were some of my favorite things to do. Maybe that's why I still review books. lol
ReplyDeleteI still think it would be an interesting book for me to read, because I am a bit familiar with his music and his death in 1994. My niece was a big fan of his music and that is how I am aware.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review! It is nice and it helped me remember some things from that era too.

I remember hearing of Cobain's death. I was in college at the time. Big fan of Nirvana.
ReplyDeleteNowadays students don't necessarily do book reports. They have different kinds of book projects. I think it's a better way to talk about what they've read.
I remember the book reports

ReplyDeleteI was familiar with Nirvana and mourned Kurt Cobain's suicide. I didn't know his journals had been published. I don't feel need to finish any book I start - life is too short. Sometimes I will skim through a book and see if something later in the book hooks my interest. Some people think that's reading heresy but I don't care. My reading, my rules. I won't even write an online book review; I hated book reports in school so. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember that at school we were sometimes asked to write our thoughts about a book we'd read.
ReplyDeleteBook reviews can be helpful can't they.
All the best Jan
