If I were to rate the book, Running Loose by Chris Crutcher, I would give it a seven-point-five out of ten. I enjoyed reading Running Loose. It made me think of situations that any teenager could go through. There were some jokes and events that were put in the story that were not needed. Especially if there are younger kids reading this story.
The author used great detail in the story to make me feel like I was actually there watching the whole thing. When Louie stood up for Washington after he got hit by Boomer you could really feel Louie’s anger compared to everyone else’s. Everyone else was glad that Washington was out of the game because with him in Louie’s team would have lost the game. You could tell that the crowd was happy that Washington was out of the game.
The book Running Loose had an easy plot to follow. It was very easy to understand and remember the order of events that happened in the book. I feel that the author did a great job accomplishing this. Doing this the author eliminated all confusion that the readers would have about the book.
This book was very hard to put down. All of the events that happened in them were very unexpected or unique. I would always want to keep reading to find out what would happen next. There was never a boring moment in the book.
The author did a great job ending Running Loose. I don’t think that I could think of a better way to end the story. It also kind of makes you think of what will happen with Louie in the future.
I like how the author made each character in the story unique and different from one another. It is easy to know who is who and predict what the character will be up to next. The reader could also tell the feelings and emotions of a character without trying to hard.
Seeing all the racism against Washington is sad. It hard to think that someone would actually hate someone for being a different skin color than they are. I guess that it is good that the author put that in the story, though. It makes you think more about it and be more aware of it when you are out in public.
When the author had Washington come over and thank Louie for sticking up for him I thought that was kind of cool. It just comes to show you that when you stick up for someone that is being made fun of, they really appreciate it.
If I were to rate Running Loose, by Chris Crutcher, I would give it a seven-point-five out of ten. There were a few situations that I thought were inappropriate for younger readers. The whole story made me think of situations that can happen in school, sports, or anywhere in public. Overall, I thought that Running Loose was an excellent book.

I thought you did a great job explaining the main ideas or notes in the book. If I hadn't already read it, I would've gone to the library and started reading. I also would've given Running Loose a seven point five. This blog explained all the main points and would give any person who hasn't read this book an idea on what the issues are in the story. This was a great blog to read.
Everytime I write a reflection on a book I try to include important issues involved in the book. It is no fun when you read a book that you don't like. Also, you will then know if you are mature enough to handle the issues in the book. I hope my blog gave readers a pretty good idea about what is happening in the book.
