Those are most of the books or authors that I like to read. I am very picky on what I read. I don't really like reading that much and I just want to start a book that is going to make me want to read more! I have heard of other books and tried to read them but I couldn't, they were just too boring for me! I also likes books that are movies or that are going to be turned into movies that way i have something too look forward too after i finish the book.
We finished reading the book Fahrenheit 451. This book is about a society that makes fires instead of putting them out. The main character is a man named Montag who believes that his job is shady. He doesn't understand why they burn books. He started wondering this after they went to a house where a lady burned in the house with her books because she loved them so much. I know that I would die in my house because I had books. I would get out!
I believe that what these people were doing was crazy! I don't like to read, I mean it's okay but I wouldn't Burn books so that everyone in the society is the same person. I think that is a crazy idea. Wouldn't you want some people to be smart, or know more things than others? That gives people value. If our society was like this today I don't know what I would do. It would be so boring to live like that. I wish that they would make another book of this because I want to know if they found Montag. I had so many questions at the end of this book. My main question is did they ever let people start reading?
I am still in the proses of trying to finish My Story by Elizabeth Smart. I have a goal to try and read 20+ pages a week. This book is so amazing I can't take it, It's that good. I always wondered how life would be so young to get kidnapped and raped. This book lets know know the hardships of it. Having no food, no one to tell them they love you. Elizabeth goes through this hard times for 9 months and I wouldn't be able to do it. I would have to run away or scream.
Elizabeth was gone for 9 months and went the day without eating all 3 meals you need a day. She went from getting good nights sleep to getting no sleep at night. She went from being happy to teriffied. And she went from having a good day with family to getting raped everyday. How does she do it? Thats what I want to know. I couldn't do it I would have to run. This girl is amazing.
This just came out! I am so excited to go see this movie! Based on when I read this book I think that it's going to be the same but with some more elements. The characters look the same that the discriptons says in the book. I can't wait! Click on the video to watch the offical trailer and you will be hooked. If you havent read it yet please go read it!
This picture is a picture of Esther Earl. She was who John Green dedicated his book too. Esther was a 15 year old girl with thyroid cancer who died in 2010. Hazel played the role of Esther in The Fault in our Stars, John Green made Hazel look just like her and have the same kind of cancer. When John Green found out about her, he just had to meet her. Esther blogged about her cancer and the life that she was living with the diffictulties and the easiest times. When John Green fisished his book it was Janurary 10th 2012. But poor Esther had already gone. If John Green could have had one girl to read it, it would have been her. Then I found out that she had a booked and flipped out.
I really want to read it. Its called This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl. Im going to hopefully read it soon and ill let you know how I like it.
I continued reading my book and I can't stop reading it. She keeps you waiting on your toes wanting to find out more about her kidnapping. Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped at the age of 14 when Brian (her kidnapper) in her bed in the middle of the night when she was right by her sister. Brian said as she got out of bed, "If you make a sound, I will not only kill you but your family." Elizabeth didn't know what to do so she didn't make a sound. If I was in her shoes I would have no idea what to do, I would probably scream and try to hurt him. I don't know how she could do it for 9 months! My mom always told me not to talk to starangers and that if anyone that I didn't want to touch me did. THen scream.
In this part Elizabeth said one of my favorite quotes she has said, "We can choose to be taken by the evil. Or we can try to embrace the good." She always kept saying that in her head as she goes through this very harsh journey that would be hard for any 14 year old to do. As she goes on this journey she gets abused and raped by this man that her family gave her work! It's so hard for her to realize that this is happening and all she can do is pray. If I was her I couldn't do it i would have to try and escape or scream.
I am currently reading My Story by: Elizabeth Smart. This book is also based on a true story. I am just in the beginning of this book and so far it's really good. I choose this book because I watched a documentary on her and once I saw she had a book I just had to have it. All though I am not that far into I can already tell that she is going to be a well devolved character by going through hard challenges. Evn though she gets kidnapped I think that when she gets found she is going to have such a better life. Her family is still going to love her even if she thinks they wont.
Elizabeth Smart is a little girl who was kidnapped.She was kidnapped by a man named Brian David Mitchell who her family gave work to do. As he was working he studied the family and way to get it and what time based on thee schedule. As Elizabth stayed with him she got abused and raped by him. I don't know how she could do it. I mean the man got into the house through a window for crying out loud! That is shady. Then he trying to tell her that god put him up to this, I just dont understand. I don't want to give too muchy away so make sure this is youtr next book to read.
Today in English we just finished Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. That was a very hard play to understand but once you participated you could really get into it and understand it more. In the begging I had no idea what we were talking about until I really got into it and participated. I don't know if I could ever read anything by him again because the way he writes is so hard to understand. I don't understnad how you could write like this. If i read anymore by him then I would have to research the book or play before hand so I actually know what is going to be happening. I know that in my future I am going to have to read more books by him and that will be hard. As long as i ask questions and understand, I should be good.
Next we are going to have to write a paper on Romeo and Juliet based on if it's a comedy or a tragedy. In my opinion I don't understand how it would be a comedy I didn't find it funny in my opinion. In my paper I am going to argue that it is a tragedy because it's so sad how Romeo took his own life for Juliet when she wasn't even dead. I hope you can find some time to read it or watch the movie. Even though there are so many choices of the play to watch my favorite was the newer ones, not the oldeer ones. When youe watching somthing thats old but made in the future then you can understand it way more. Good luck!
