As you are reading today, I want you to play close attention to how the author uses sensory details to draw you, the reader, into the story. Find a specific passage in your reading that uses details to truly explain the moment and makes the reader feel like he or she is part of the action. Share that passage (quote it) and then explain how it addresses the senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste). Explain how the use of those sensory details draw you in and help you connect with the story.
I realize one passage probably won't address all five senses, but let's see what you can find.
I read the book The Darkest Minds. The scenery is in a forest. It makes me feel like I'm part of the story because the main character is trying to run away from people called the league and she is trying to run but she is going very slow, and I know what its like to be to tired and sore to run fast.
My book is still Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo, I got some new books so it should change for the next week.
i'm going to go ahead and use as an example a page where it explains picking a lock in explicit detail. Kaz Brekker, a notorious thief was trying to get away from guards / Stadwatch.
This may or may not be from the first book of the series I honestly cant remember.
A quick summary of what happened in as much detail as I can remember.

"Jena Capostrano?' How does she know that? how can she know that? Josh stares at his mother as if she had just revaled herself as the ancient goddess Isis.disguised as a mild-mannered school librarian . . . " The girl who just moved into the featherlanes old house? Across from the minamotos?"
I am finally coming to the end of the book Sadie
The passage that I really like was What do you mean? You're just... you're just giving up? You think there's no one out there to look for, is that it?
I like this passage because Claire is say that Detective West McCray is giving up on looking for Sadie. Claire is trying to tell him that if he can't find other people after a little over a year on looking for them because that is exactly what he is doing to Sadie. He is giving up on looking for her when Claire knows he would not do that to another family because Mr. McCray is a good detective.
