Reading Response

On Thursday, 6 November I did a reading response this is what I wrote. Today I read Surviving Sydney Cove The Diary Of Elizabeth Harvey by Goldie Alexander. My favourite character is Elizabeth she is the only character I have met. I am going to read the blurb because it tells you about the book. Lizzie Harvey, a convict transported to Sydney Cove, is staving and overworked. She has to fetch the water, mend clothes, please her Master, care for his China-doll daughter and tiptoe around his moody soldier son. She can barley find time to dream about the way things used to be, let alone write in her diary. But write she must. It is her only hope of reaching out to the home she has left behind, all those thousands of miles away across the sea. This is my least favourite line... His eyes followed my gaze and I felt his shock at glimpsing my scarred toes. He demanded to now how this had happened. I rate this book 8 out of 10. That was my reading response hope you liked it.
