The sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I'm still reading the book called 'The sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' written by Ann Brashares. I read 20 pages in this week.

The chapter that I read this week focus on Tibby. She lives with her parents and her much younger siblings. When Tibby was little, her father had worked as a journalist and he was always home for dinner. But when her mother decided to move to big, clearn houses, her father started practicing law in a private company, and he was only home about half the night. His father is busy and works late, so her mother expects Tibby to step in and be her coparent. She is a bore about it because she doesn't like her siblings because they are very noisy and wicked babies. Tibby refuses to care of them anymore.

While I was reading this chapter, I used the reading strategies called 'I used a dictionary to help me understand what I read'. I used a dictionary to make sure the word called "coparent" because I was not sure about the meaning of this word. Also I used 'I try to picture in my mind what I have just read to help me remember what I read' in this chapter. I tried to imagine in my mind about one of her siblings was digging both hands in his yogurt and then licking his fingers. And Tibby's mother snatched the yogurt away, and he started yelling. It reminded me about when I was in junior high school student. I had a friend who had much younger sister and she always cared of her sister because her parents went to work. I felt sorry to her because she looked so tired everyday. I thought that to care of young child is very hard thing.

I will continue reading this book.
