I’m going to tell you what happened in “THE YEAR OF BILLY MILLER”. On the first day of second grade, Billy Miller was afraid that people would laugh at him because he had a lump on his head. At school, Billy thought Ms. Silver, his teacher, would be angry at him for putting markers on his head and looking at Emma Sparks like a devil. After dismissal on the 2nd day, Billy talked to Ms. Silver about dumbness. On the 5th day, Billy talked to his dad, Papa, to call him dad instead of papa. He thinks that Papa sounds babyish.

On the first day of second grade, Billy Miller was afraid that people would laugh at him because he had a lump on his head. At school, Billy thought Ms. Silver, his teacher, would be angry at him for putting markers on his head and looking at Emma Sparks like a devil. After dismissal on the 2nd day, Billy talked to Ms. Silver about dumbness. On the 5th day, Billy talked to his dad, Papa, to call him dad instead of papa. He thinks that Papa sounds babyish. On New Year’s eve, Billy tried to stay up all night, but he and his sister, Sal, fell asleep before 11:00 pm. On New Year’s day, Sal’s babysitter Gabby made a big brunch for the family because Billy and Sal woke up late. On the 6th to last day of school, they were required to read the poems. Billy wanted to recite one but he looked at the crowd and forgot every word. So his mom took a copy of the poem and brought it to Billy. Emma bragged that she was the only kid that recited her poem. Then Billy stood up on the stage again and said “This is the year of Billy Miller.” I like this book because it has a lot of fun events.(展開)
