The Help

PLOT

       I've been reading THE HELP.  Its a story back where there were slaves for the rich. Its powerful, and it tells you how one whisper can help your community. There are 2 slaves (that I know) Minny and Ailibeen. They work for different people in different homes. They have different experiences. Here in this next paragraph it will explain the plot.

   During the beginning of the book, Ailibeen takes care of Mable (a baby of one of the families). Mable reminds her of her own son that died of getting run over by a truck. Yeah, she was depressed but one day she got up and decided that it was time to start a new day. Ailibeen goes to different homes and to different places. I haven't finished the book yet but I'll keep you  updated.

  All in all, THE HELP is a fabulous book. It is extremely packed with details but you'll get it. I would recommend this book to people that enjoy reading stories about slaves, and how they came out. This is the blog for this Sunday!!!!!

"Revolt of Evil Fairies"

Discromination

                In Ted Poston's "Revolt of Evil Fairies" there is a protagonist that doesn't feel that being dark skinned isn't the way he wants to be. It would be a miracle to him if he got the main act or a good fairy. But he can't because of his color of his skin. Imagine that your in a play and your dark skinned. You would rather prefer the main act or the good fairy. In this case you can't! You have to be a dark fairy. How would you feel if you wouldn't have a voice?

                Ted Poston's "Revolt" has a theme of discrimination. The protagonist goes to a school in Hopkinsville, Kentucky named Booker T. Washington Colored Grammar School. They always do a play called Sleeping Beauty. My first example for discrimination: " Rat Jointer, for instance, rationalize that situation. Rat was not only black; he lived on Billy Goat Hill. But Rat summed it up like this: If you black, you black". This shows what the classmates of the protagonist sum the whole play. 

             In the making of Sleeping Beauty there is one particular teacher. Her name is Miss LaParade. In my second example it shows how she would sum up the play: "Miss LaParade called it a modern morality play of conflict between the forces of good and evil. And the forces of evil , of course, always came off second best." Here you can tell that the teachers make the decisions than the students. They think whats best for the audience and the yallers.

           All in all, the protagonist made a fight with Leonardius Wright but made it look like it was supposed to be in the script. The protagonist doesn't feel bad. Even though he was not going to be in the play next year, it was wroth it doing. Don't believe in people! Believe in yourself. This is the "Revolt of the Fairies" discrimination.   

               

Pretty little liars

Conflict

      I just finished reading Pretty Little Liars. I this book there is killing, murders, and all types of usual world things that happen to be true. There are 4 girls. Emily, Spencer, Aria, and Hanna. They are all in high school in a small town. Suddenly there so called to be best friend, died. Her name was Alison. For the past year they've been receiving notes/text messages. Here I will give out the conflict.

     Imagine that you have this really cool group. You guys have lunch together. The usual freindship. Then a horrible incident happens to your main leader of that group. Right after her funeral you get a text message signed off with her/his name. You've been getting text after text about not doing this or threatening you to do that. This is basically the conflict. You cannot trust anyone!

    All in all, there is still more to overcome. I would recommend these book series to someone that enjoys to read mysteries! Write to you next Sunday!
   

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:)
