Do you feel differently about this person after reading the book?  Were you favorably or unfavorably impressed by the person?  Explain.  Would you recommend this book to someone else?  If you could interview the person that you read about what would be your questions?  List at least 3.

Yes, I do feel differently about Leonardo da Vanchi. I used to think that he was just another rich and snotty famous people. It turns out he actually had a decent personality. He was once a normal person with a normal life just like me. Of course I was impressed by Leonardo! I was impressed by his knowledge and how he was always wanting to learn more.
Yes, I would recommend this book to somebody else if they were doing a report on Leonardo. I would recommend it, because it's easy to understand and it's full of information about Leonardo.
If I could interview Leonardo da Vanchi I would ask him more about his feelings. Like, how does he feel about dissecting a human? I would also ask him, how hard was it growing up with out real parents? - Did he ever think of suicide? How often did he see his father or real family members? - What did they think of him?

I feel like he was a good person and is kind of like a role model to people. I was impressed by him because he was one of the best astronauts ever. I would recommend this book to a person whos interested in being an astronaut. I would ask them 1. How was you pushed to be one of the best? 2. How long did it feel you were in training? 3. What is it like being in space?

After reading this book I feel very differently about Thomas Edison I now know he was a very important person in american history.I am favorably impressed with Thomas because he is the main part of why invention evalved into t.v and other things. Assumably someone after a while would have invented this if he had not but IF maybe he had not we may not have electric light bulbs.I would recommend this book to someone else who like biography books because this one is very good.If i could interview thomas today my three main questions for him would be #1 what made u wanna try as many times as u did knowing u would prolly fail? #2 What fuled u to invent something so special? #3 Was your main mind set was to get famous and get lots of money or did u really have a purpose for it?

I definitely feel different about Marie Curie now. Before I read anything about her, I just thought she was another person in science, nothing new. Although, I was very impressed when I learned about how she discovered the elements. I had no idea that they transmitted x-rays that you can pick up. Yes, id recommend this.
My questions would be:
1) How did you get the idea of going and looking for these elements?
2) Did your daughter make any contributions to your studies?
3) What was your first reaction when you found these elements?
