       One of the responses I read was Madelyne's response to A Long Walk to Water. I thought that it was interesting that she wrote it from two different points of view and that the description of the book was very detailed. It talks about how people in southern Africa were having really dirty water and some like Nya and Salva wanted to have clean water. So Salva went to persuade some people to pay him to hire drillers so they can dig for fresh water in the US. It turned successful and they finally got to drink clean water. I t was also moving when Madelyne said that "And one of the those people in the crowd was Nya." It seemed that  she finally got her dream and that the story has come to one of those happy endings.

      Another one of the responses I read was Emily's response of The Future of Us. I thought that it was very descriptive and it describes what the main character had reacted to Facebook. Her book is about how two people in 1996 found out about Facebook which wasn't invented yet. On Emma's computer, which looked like it came from the future. They see that it was a social networking site, and that they got to see the future in fifteen years. One of the main characters, Josh, didn't want to interfere with his future, but Emma,on the other hand, wanted to change her future because she didn't like it. Then one of her changes affected Josh's life, and he was upset with it. I think that it's sad that Josh gets into Emma's problem even if he didn't do anything and that it must have been tough for Emma because at first you think your future will be alright, when yu find out that it isn't.
