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:)

 

Drummer Boy

Character Traits

         Right now we are reading Girls, Drums and Dangerous Pie. The main character is Steven. Steven thinks of himself as a nerd. He's those kids that sort of know everything but are really  annoying (to me). Here is my newest post on the Drummer Boy a.k.a Steven.

        Steven right now is feeling worried. His younger brother, Jeffrey, has blood cancer. His mother is shocked and extremely quiet. But lets go back a bit. Steven was getting Jeffrey some "motmeal" and when he turned around Jeffrey had fallen of from is chair really hard. So hard that is nose was bleeding non-stop. Steven's mother took Jeffrey to the hospital. 

     When Steven arrived at school he met his crush Renee Albert. He's telling us readers that he forgot to brush his teeth! Come on! Now i know that Steven is.....selfish. His brother was rushed to the emergency room for god's sake! I wouldn't care about my teeth. Also I think Jeffery and Steven have a special connection with each other. There brothers! If I were Steven I would've asked my mom to get Jeffrey some motmeal.

     All in all we aren't finish but i hope that Jeffery lives. Somehow I have this feeling that Jeffrey might.....die. I am enjoying this book, which is good! This is my blogg:) Write to you next Sunday...... 

Lock And Key

Summary

           Right now I am reading Lock&Key by Sarah Dessen. Its about a girl named Ruby having a life that has no answers. Her mother left her with her sister she hasn't known for 10 years of her life. Ruby right now feels like shes.... unwanted. What if you were left in a mansion that your sister that you don't know owns it? Here is how Ruby feels about her life situation.

           Ruby is now telling me about her yellow house and meeting the Honeycutts. And how her past was with her depressing mother. This main character has a pretty messed up life. But now she doesn't. Her yellow rented house is this 1 bedroom, dark celled walls, and a small kitchen. For me i would not live here. Anyway, Ruby was always tired because most of the time Ruby's mother would come in and ask if Ruby can go sleep on the couch. That was i stopped and realized that this place comparing to her sisters place is so much better. At her sisters she has a green room. Filled with fluffed pillows with a slanted ceiling. Thats her room. Now the honeycutts are the new land lords of the yellow house. In this book right now Ruby is just playing back memories/flashbacks of her past. This is my summary!

         All in all the story isn't over yet but I will give updates. I would recommend this book to readers that love social issues. Write to you later:)

No Body's Perfect

No Body's Perfect by Kimberley Kirberger

             No Body's Perfect by Kimberly K. is a book about teens and pre-teens having issues with their body. Kimberly K. collected over 50 stories about having the perfect body or being anorexic. Its an extremely BIG topic to talk about. Some of the teen authors had stories that you can connect to. Here is my post about No Body's perfect.

             This book really can connect to me. Being over-weight is hard. A lot of people judge you because you don't look, well....healthy. The story that caught my eye was about a girl 2 years older than me. She had written about how she was unhealthy and how her so called friends would make fun of how she looked. But then she decided that is was time to be healthy ( to lose wait). After a year of hard work she found herself at her point. She was happy and had confidence walking into school. This is why I love this book. I don't feel as if i am the only one in the world. This is my connection!

            All in all, I learned facts about how people feel inside there body's. I love it how (sometimes) it gets fixed. This is my newest post:)
