“The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and The Trail of the Century” by Sarah Miller tells the story of a famous murder case in the 1800s. It explores the mystery of who killed Mr. and Mrs. Borden, Lizzie Bordens Father and Step-Mother, and the trial that followed up. The book focuses on the main idea: how the truth can be hard to find and. As the story unfolds, readers will see how different people had different opinions about what happened, also a theme, rather to trust your guts, or other words logic, or to judge people by specific evidence. In the book, there wasn’t any direct evidence proving Lizzie Borden as the murderer, but it was just the police suspecting Lizzie Borden guilty. Even to this day, who brutally killed Mr. and Mrs. Borden is still an unsolved “myth”.

Day 5 on our notebook page was where we had our Book Club Fair and we had to provide a theme, evidence, and reasoning to the rest of the class, while the rest of the class think of questions to ask us. Our theme was that people should be judge by direct reasoning not by logic, since in the book there wasn’t any direct evidence that can prove LIzzie Borden guilty.

Day 4 we had a book time where we learned about informational texts and narrative text with the book on Dorthy. In my book, The Borden Murder, there was a slight change in history where in the book it states that Lizzie cried at the funeral of her father and step-mom but in history Lizzie didn’t cry at all but also did not where accordingly to the dress  code of the funeral.

Day 3 was where we found places in the book that was brought up later into the book.
