Silent Reading - Ancient Rome

I was reading about the history called "Ancient Rome" which talked about how Rome began and how people lived and developed in there with finding new things. The people had to divide into 3 types : nobles - knights, ordinary people and slavery.

Silent reading 10 min (2)

After reading book for 10 minutes in class, I supposed that I know some information about the story. Well, Georgia ( the character's name in the story ) can't agree that her dad is dead. She's still trying to get her head about that and she misses what is he done for her, just like memories.

Silent Reading 10 minutes - ENE

I read 11 pages today from Shots in the Dark, written by Hazel Town. It's actually about two people named Danny and Georgia, they have different stories for themselves. All of them both lose a father in the same dramatic incident and each bereavement leads to great disruption in their families. When the pair run into each other in the hospital they each realize that here is the one person who can understand and help with the anger and frustration. They then turn their joint attention to the drug dealer responsible for all the chaos but they realize that the drug dealer's son in their school. The story also their thoughts and feeling about daily life - I guess so

The story looks like diary so it is told according to the 1st person.
