Author:Karen Cushman Title:Catherine Called Birdy Pages:134-164 Strategy: I'm glad that Catherine found someone that she wanted to marry.I knew she would.
The title of my book is Catherine Called Birdy. IT was written by Karen Cushman. The setting was around 1290, the time of the medieval English manor. The main characters name is Catherine or her nickname is Birdy.
The setting of the book is in England around 1290. It was a time of medieval manor. At this time the town was ruled by a king and queen. If you did something bad for example burglary you could get a punishment such as being hung or be beheaded. Before You were punished you were humiliated in front of the town. That’s the setting of my story.
My character’s name is Catherine. She has brown hair and brown eyes. My character always wanted adventure. One time she traveled with the Jews without her parents finding out. Another time she didn’t want to marry a guy that her dad picked out for her so she ran away to her Uncle’s house to get advice. In my opinion I don’t think that the actions that Catherine did were realistic because she said she traveled two day to her Uncle’s house without any food or water.
In conclusion I didn’t like my book. The author wrote it so I got lost. The book was pretty much based on her father finding her a husband. So in all I didn’t like my book.
