I am currently reading the book Chasing Lincoln’s killer by Jmaes L. Swanson I am loved this book because it is giving me information I did not expect a lot. This book includes information from how Lincoln was around the house all the way to who he was personally and all the hard parts he went through in life.Abraham Lincoln lived a life as a boy who works for his parents. He was a very nice boy in his childhood and in his teens.

          I used many strategies throughout before reading I looked for literary elements and I skim and scanned for text features. During,.reading I reread parts I did not understand and I summarized every chapter to my-self. After reading the book I tried to compare it to a different book I have have about Abraham Lincoln, and after reading I also made names for the chapters because they did not have any. 

          The genre of this book is Historical Fiction, the topic is Abraham Lincoln, and the main idea is Abraham Lincoln's life as he grew up. Three supporting details were he worked hard, he was a good kid & , he had some issues as he grew up almost like every kid back then. The elements in this story are very different. The pattern of organization is identify and explain. The authors purpose informational. A response I used was I found out how hard Abraham lived a hard life. 

          I would rate this book a 10 out of 10 for now because it is pretty well especially the way it is written.  

    Sincerely, B.P
