16What I Like About The Book
I liked the part where Mafatu was on the ocean
and he got caught in a hurricane because it had
lots of descriptive words in it.If you read this
book then you will see why it is my favorite
part.
17What I Did Not Like About The Book
I did not like it when they teased Mafatu because
he was afraid of the sea.I think it was wrong
because no one should get teased about something
they are afraid of. I hope everyone else thinks
it is wrong as well!
18Who I Think The Book Would Be Good For
I think the book would be good for the kids and
adults that think that they are not courageous
and it shows people that pick on other people
what it feels like and what people will do if
they get hurt.
19Conclusion
I hope you read the book Call It Courage and like
it and have lots of opinions on the book like me.
