DIVERGENT

DIVERGENT



" Color rushes into Four's face, though his expression does not change." That was from the book called Divergent by Veronica Roth. the setting takes place in Chicago, in the future.some of the main characters are Tris and Four who both are from the building they are mainly at, which is where they fall in a deeply love relationship and also where they train for fighting.Then, Tris went to do testing and discovers that she is divergent, which is a very dangerous thing to be as a faction. and after the test i guess she cant say that she is divergent to ANYONE!



MY REACTION 


 Overall,  I think divergent is a really GOOD book. Once you get into it you WILL want to keep reading it. I would recommend this book, to 8th grade and up because this book has a lot of violent stuff in it. also I would recommended to see the movie to!!!!.  so I hope you will read it and watch the movie!!!!!!!!!.

Twelve Long Months

Twelve Long Months 


SHE LOVES HIM ..........

HE LOVES HER NOT........


Introduction


      That was from the book Twelve Long Months, by Brian Malloy. The genre is Fiction and Literature.The setting is in molly's school and in New York.The main characters are a  girl named Molly, and her love of her life. Mark.Who is an artistic, funny attractive boy. Molly wonders if they will be more then friends.Soon, after they were physics partners, when they go to collage they discover that they are gonna be neighbors in collage, they both are very excited. After, molly moves into her apartment she met  Lilly and Jessie who they both I  are room mates with Molly. when  you get into more of the book it gets more exciting.I forgot to write if it's part of a series it's not. One of the main conflicts are, Molly discovers that Mark has a secret. and Molly discovers it. not only is Molly his type, but she is not the right gender.


 My Reaction 


          This is my reaction, so  i would recommend this book to 8th graders or 7th graders because this book talks about relation ships, romance and a gay guy. also the most surprising thing that I read is they talked about Molly being drunk with her friends, also going to clubs and etc. The reason why it's surprising is because it don't realize it until towards the middle of the book.I'm not done with the book yet, so I don't really know what's gonna come next.....



Favorite Characters 


          Some of my favorite characters are Mark, Jessie, and Molly. the reason why is because well Mark is actually attractive to me on the cover of the book. Molly is pretty, and funny. Finally Jessie, is just like me, she has to have everything perfect, also she is nice and funny and loves make up. Next, some of the things I like about the book is , it"s short, addicting romantic and a great book to read. I think the rating of this book out of 1-100, is a 200 (even if it's not 100). i would totally read this book again. I think people should read this book. hope you read it.



Closing sentence





      Finally, i hope you read this book and enjoy it thanks for reading my blog!!!!!!!!!

ZOM-B

ZOM-B



“One of the horrifying creatures darted for them , reaching for Brian drooling as it moved towards him”.(shawn Intro)That was from the book zom-b Darren shan. the genre is fiction this book is about a character named becky who struggles  with an abusive dad, and her nice mom who gets abused by the dad. then horror struck in ireland …… zombies….. attacked…… ireland. it takes place in london. then b (becky)had a terrible dream of zombies attacking  their village.which she cannot stop dreaming of. then all of a sudden towards the end of the book zombies attack their school…. so its up to the students to figure out how the students will survive.




   
    the last part i just read was when b fell asleep in her class and one of her friends randomly whispered “fire” in her ear. which to me was really weird and she jolted awake. here is a passage from the book  i just read “i barely listen in class at the best of times. today i tuned out completely and scribbled some drawings over my books.” Finally i thought this was really  a good book.This part made me think of are zombies actually real!? (just kidding) my favorite character was b because she is brave like me.



    Overall, i think this book is awesome!. anyway i would recommend this book to kids that are over kid years. what i mean by that is more like teens should read this book because it talks about blood and gore, which is kind of bad for little kids to read this book. Finally i hope you read this book and if you do BEWARE!!!!!!!!!......of ZOMBIES!!!!!

THE UPSTAIRS ROOM!

Introductory
“It was the only place they knew of and was safe” that was from the book The Upstairs Room” by Johanna Reiss. The genre is historical fiction. It is about two young Jew girls that go into hiding, and away from their family members. Then they meet these kids named Opoe, Joanne Dientije, and the Mother. Well they are not all kids as you can tell; anyway they all take care of these two young girls (sisters). They take the girls up to this empty room which has a dresser, and two beds. The girls have to stay there for a very long time until the war stops mostly. They have to stay completely quiet until a certain time. Finally the time comes to go downstairs to eat and have breakfast and chat. But, the problem is every time they hear either knocking or the doorbell they dash quietly to their room they’re staying in. I think you will get the book once you read it.



My Reaction
I think the most interesting thing in this book is how they speak, like towards the middle of the book they keep repeating “O-GOD-O-GOD-O-GOD” which to me is really weird also, it’s really sad when they get dropped off at the neighbors and won’t see their family for a while because it’s just not right. The first thing I was talking about was when they keep repeating   O-GOD-O-GOD-O-GOD” it gets annoying after a while I’m just saying. If you read this book you will know what I mean, and etc.

Closing Paragraph
Overall I think this book is really good. I recommend this book to people who like historical fiction books. and learning about historical fiction books.

                “I was dying. I knew it. At least the pain was gone. I wanted to tell him that I loved him. Then darkness overtook me...” that was a saying from the book tigers curse. Tigers Curse is my all time favorite book, it’s by Colleen Houck. The setting takes place in Mumbai, India, the genre is romance and adventure. The main characters are Kelsey and Ren the tiger. It’s about this young teenager named Kelsey that gets a job at a local circus, she goes to the circus and met this tiger named ren and she instantly falls in love with this tiger. Then she met this nice guy named Mr. Kadam, he offered to buy this tiger and Kelsey did not want that. So she went to ren to talk to him before he got bought. But, when Mr. Kadam saw Kelsey at Ren’s cage petting him, Mr. Kadam instantly walked up to Kelsey and started to introduce him and started telling a story about how Ren got here in the first place, finally Mr. Kadam offered Kelsey a favor to go to Mumbai and help ren turn back to a normal human cause ren was cursed to be a tiger the rest of his life until someone special can change the whole curse to end. It’s also part of a series. This is book #1

            Finally, what I’m going to talk about now is the last chapters I read (I am not finished with the book yet). My favorite chapters I read was called “the cave” It was when Kelsey went to Mumbai and helped Ren find the cave that would save ren from keeping him a tiger for the rest of his life. But my least favorite part of the book was when they had to go through the cave and had to kill all the traps and find the special part of the cave and try to kill the spell but after they  tried they almost fell asleep but remembered that they had to go to the jeep. So I’m not going to give away anymore of the story. Finally, I think you should read this book , it’s a very addicting series.
