Today in Class

Background: The kids are reading Night, a memoir by Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor.

Kid: I want to know the ending so bad! Is he going to make it out of Auschwitz alive?

Entire class: *blink*

Kid: Oh, yeah! He wrote the book! Of course he survives!

What a great book for the kids to read. It's absolutely amazing. That's hilarious though about the kid's comment. *blink, blink* Indeed!

Great book.
That kid was reading in the moment. I do the same thing with movies... wondering if the hero will survive!
I was always be careful with novels in the present tense after J. P's MY SISTER'S KEEPER!

It was great book, one of the first to make me cry (after that it was all downhill though). The kid sounds awesome though, I make those types of comments all the time...
