For your second posting, You should have read at least 30 pages of your book so far ​(if not more). In your writing, please tell us about the following:

1. What is the title of your book? Who is the author?
2. What page are you on? 

3. QCQ: Quote, Comment, Question
-Quote: Choose an excerpt from the text and share it here in quotation marks and with the page number.
-Comment: Explain why you chose this section of the text and what you think is interesting/provocative about it.
-*Question: Pose a question about the section that might extend the reader's thinking or might help a reader of your blog make a connection to his or her own life. Your question should extend what you are reading out into themes that humanity as a whole can connect to/relate to. For example, if your book quote has a character named Joe who wants to become a doctor but can't afford school, your question might be: What are some obstacles in the way of you getting what you want? or What hopes and dreams do you have for the future?. Your question should NOT be something like, What is Joe's mother's name? Your extension question should be something anyone reading this section most likely would be able to answer. 

For your comment to a peer, read their post and respond to the question that they pose at the end of #3.
