"These boots are made for stalking"

     This book  is one that starts with drama and ends with drama, it starts with pressure, and ends with pressure, and it starts with good and bad desicions and ends with them.  The bigest problem seems to be the one that all teens, kids, and children face in their childhood and it's the need to be or become popular.
    Many strive for the number one spot, and become the ruler of the school, with nice clothes, hair, style, and beauty.  the pressure to change yourself to become a whole other is amazing.  the neccesity to have good apperances rather than work and strive at your goals at school.  but nowadays students seem to care more at beaing at the top than they do about being at the bottom of school educational wise.
     this book is one of the few books that manages to show all of the problems that children and teens face as they go to school.  the way they care about boys and things that aren't even something you need to worry about.  we are constantly exposed to society who portrays the things that seem to be right and the things that seem to be bad.  and we dont even process things through our minds to see if they really may be true, but instead we go on ahead and do what society tells us to do.
    thne point of this book is to show what is really neccisary and what is really not, and that is what we have to take away when we read it.

GLASS

   Drugs are things that will ruin your entire life just by one shot.  It will change you into a new, terrible person that not even you can recognize.  You wont be that A student you strived to be your entire life, you wont think about what your gonna be as the years pass by, and you wont be the amazing child that your parents were glad to see.  In a blink of an eye your someone else, someone you werent meant to be.  the person with the shaded face, a slumped figure, and hooded jacket over their face, the person who cant walk straight and is in a daze and has no clue what the hell they're doing.  and that's where the story begins.
     Kristina was always the ideal daughter, she did as she was told, did great in school, and studied as much as people watched tv.  then something went wrong, she got pregnant young, got addicted to drugs which she so called the "monster" and things were never going to go back to the way they were ever again.  but with the constant struggle of needing drugs to feel alive again, she still believed she could be in power and control herself the drugs and the baby all alone.  but the truth is that things are easier said than done, and Kristina learns that soon enough.

"Does my head look big in this?"

"Does my head look big in this" is a novel based on a teenage girl making the decision to wear the hijab.  Throughout the book she faces constant problems with what others think about her.  She experiences teasing, verbal abuse, and even some physical abuse.  But isnt that what happens when your a muslim girl, going to a cathlolic school?  your just supposed to be discriminated against, because your expected not to bring your beliefs to school?
Even though Amal goes through so much that would usually drive you mad, she stays strong and never second- guesses herself.  Not only the aspect and plot of the story was great, but the characters were described in a way that you could make an image in your mind.  They went through life problems that everyone constantly faces, and the plus side of that is it's easy to relate to, and feel a strong connection with the character that felt the same difficulties you may have.  And it does not only have to be the difficulties you face, but the ups of your life as well.  you can feel the moment of happiness all over again and be able to say "i know how the character feels..."
Thats the reason i really liked this story, it wasnt like others where you couldnt feel the emotions the character was trying to portray in the characters, but in this book i definatley did.

Justice, and Injustice (Pretty Little Liars "Wanted")

     in my book justice is a big thing, because it really controls whether an  innocent man will go to jail or will be let go given another chance.  but that just cant happen in rosewood, because the adults are so sexist against who killed ali, so they are constantly accusing the wrong male figures, and in fact a male didnt even commit the crime.  giving the accused an injustice sentence and the girl who commited the murder an evil mastermind that hasnt even be questioned.  it is because of these injustices that the book is the way it is, with an innocent man with his death bed ready, and the true murderer slinking behind the closed doors, ready to strike again.
     the thing is that there are many injustices in the world, and there is little to nothing we can do about it.  fighting for it seems to make the issue seem bigger but really it makes no difference.  and just leaves the community fighting for something they have no say about.  it is a social issue that needs a solution, and needs to be taken care of.  because the longer that this goes, the more innocent will be sent ofr trials and be accused of things they have not done.
     the world is filled with injustice, which is portrayed by the media.  the media constantly shows a certain race that dominates commiting crimes.  causing the world to be stereotypical to others.  and just like in my book, someone has to stop this injustice and turn things back to the way the justice system should really work.  only putting the true guilty people into jail or into suffering and the innocents fairness.  that all sounds so easy, but is it really?

Pretty Little Liars "Heartless"

What really hard things are happening in your books text?

     My book is full of many hard things that the character's are facing.  All different but all are somehow connected.  The main problem that all the characters face is betrayel; by either their friends or family.
     Spencer thought that her life could not get any better, and it didn't.  all it did was get worse.  after years of being criminally harassed by an annonymous person (so called A) she has been torn.  but everytime her life starts to turn in the right direction, the worst is right around the corner.  and there is always some sort of twist and turn, that the can turn the happiest moments into the saddest ones.
     after years of being harrsed you start to second guess yourself and what others say, you start to go with what A is telling you, when you know it's not true.  and when A knows something you dont he/she will do everthing he/she can to get you going crazy.  especially when it comes down to your family and friends.
     After listening to A, spencer decided to figure out if A was telling the truth by doing some snooping of her own.  and believe me once you start you cant stop.  when she saw what she was looking for, and she was shocked to see something that would haunt her forever.
     Now she is stuck knowing that her father has been living a lie.  and that she and ali were closer than they thought.  she is stuck knowing that her father was cheating on her mom and the family trust system.  and she is put in a position where she can either do the right thing or the wrong one.  but as a 17 year old teenager, do you really know right from wrong.  and do you know how deep you've got yourself until you cant get out?

The making of Stuart Little

     Before E.B White moved to his farm in Maine he had lived in New York, and loved it there.  Once he moved to Maine, he began to have a love of animals.  He decided to write a book that took place in New York and was about an animal, but which one, there were so many to choose from.  One day while sleeping on a railroad car, he dreamt about a little boy that acted more like a mouse than he did like a boy.  And that was where he got his inspiration to write Stuart Little from.
     E.B White tended to keep the same themes in almost all of his childrens books, and liked to add adult humor and things that were depper than they seemed.  He wanted children to see that life was not always happy and bright, and that things that live will always die, no matter what.  Those were things that younger children didn't understand, but older children and adults would understand.  White had a way of writing sad depressing things but since he wrote it about animals it was easier for him to mellow it all out (balance it out).  
     The themes that White loved to include were those about bravery, tolerance, rural living, and especially loyalty.  Those were all themes that can be found in almost all of his children books, and maybe even some in his adult poems and essays.  Those themes may be the things that he found most important in life, and he probably wanted to portray that to others.
