Amulet (book two)

Conflict

     I've been reading Amulet (book two) by Kazu Kibuishi. Its about a girl with an amulet. The amulet has powers that can control things. In the next paragraph it will explain the conflict being told in the story.

    The protagonist is basically the main point were all of it starts. There are two sides. People that want to join the evil Elf King or people who want to join the protagonist by not being on the evil side. Going on, the Elf king wants to kill the protagonist because he wants the amulet to complete his mission.

   All in all, I am not finished with the graphic novel yet. I hope you readers will chose this book for you independent book. Write to you later:)

The complete Perselpolis

In Character's shoes

           I've been reading Persepolis for about 1 day. Its about a girl in Iran telling the reader about her history when she was little. She wanted to be a doctor. The teachers were worried but her parents weren't. I haven't finished the book yet. Here is what I would've thought.

          Being an Islamic girl in the 1980's was hard. They would separate the girls with the wraps and the girls that are fighting against the girls with the wraps. Sometimes they (police) would come to your house and take your father or your mother. It was a depressing time. The protagonist would become a doctor. But its hard to. If i were in her shoes then I would give my life up for a change in my community. Its a riskful thing to do. But you want to do it so that it wouldn't last forever.

        All in all, I am excited to see what has come in this womens life. I wish her good luck. I would recommend this book to a person that would prefer a graphic novel based on world issues. This is my blog for today!

If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Conflict

     In "If I Stay" written by Gayle Forman, there is this heartbroken moment. Mia, being the main character, has a conflict. Or as some people call it an issue. Here I will explain why my conflict would be accurate. 

     People say and people do. Its life. We're born and we die. Its a cycle. Mia has this. Imagine you in a car accident and suddenly your lively dead in a ditch. But then you suddenly realize that your a ghost. Basically this is the conflict/issue. Just imagine that. Its a sad, heartbreaking, lovely, story. All I can tell you is that this is reality.

     All in all, I adore this book. I would recommend this book to people that are really in Social Issues. Write to you next Sunday........:)

Anya's Ghost

If I were In Anya's Shoes

              Right now I just finished the graphic novel Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol. In this novel its about a teenage girl, named Anya, in a high school were there is drama, chaos, and dumb things. One day Anya was running through the park and she feel in this pot hole. In the pot hole there was a woman named Emily Reily. Shes dead but, when Anya went to school she had Emily's finger!

            What if you knew a ghost.... would you take it home our leave it behind? This is a super easy question for me....nooooo! I wouldn't take a ghost home. Their like strangers. You never know what they would do next! In the beginning of the book i thought Emily was a really sweet girl but at the end it didn't turn out well. If i were in Anya's shoes I would've said no. I am not tryng to give sneek peaks people! Just think about it. This is my explanation!

          All in all, I cannot tell you the ending. Lets just say that Anya knows better. This is my blog for his Sunday! Write tell you all later:)
