The possibility of now

I stared reading a book name The Possibility Of Now. The main character is Mara James. She is a perfectionist. She always has a list or plans. 1.Surece The Valedictorian Spot 2. Ace The Test etc. 
Mara has one problem, she was planing to a e the test. But she kinda didn't so he has a meltdown. "Like rip-up-the-test-and-get-escorted-out kinda meltdown." Mara was for sure not wanting to show her face again at school. Mara had a idea after all of what happened "1.Go back to school with her head high held 2.Ace the Sat 3. Write a amazing college essay about meltdown 4. Get onto a tier one college" (I don't know why this will help). But she can't do it. So she decided to move to Tohoe with her estranged dad, Trick McHale. She thinks, things will go right over there.

Word of the Wiser

I probably found my favorite part of the book is. 

"I love watching you play basketball, Finley. Best part of my day lately- makes me feel like I still have legs, even-but life's more than game. This Russ, he's special. Anyone can see that. Amd it's hard to be special, Finley. You understand what I'm saying" I don't understand what pop is saying, but I nod anyway. "Your special too, Finley. You don't always get to pick the role you're going to play in life, but it's good to play whatever role you got the best way you can," Pop says. "And I know I'm a damn hypocrite for saying that tonight, but that don't make what I said a lie. We've both had hard lives so far. No favors done for either of us." (Sorry it's so long)  but this is my favorite part because Finley final relizes he special too. Not only Boy21 but him too. This explains that everyone has a role in life, everyone has a meaning in life. It's just that Finley hasn't found his yet.

Boy21

Now that I'm done with my autobiography I stared to read a new book called Boy21 by Mathew Quick. (If you like basketball I recommend this book to you). 

I started reading this book about a boy name Finley. He is the only "white" boy in his basketball team. People call him White Rabit. He has this one conflict about this one boy name Russell Allen or Washington but people call him Boy21. Boy21 thinks he is a alien."people just don't go around saying they're from outer space for nothing." Finleys mission is to help Boy21 adjust to his new life. At first Finley really doesn't want towels he thought he was crazy. But you can see durning this book how the start to form friendship.

A Work In Progress

I'm doing a autobiography on a Youtuber name Connor Franta, A Work In Progress. In his book these so many conflicts, roadblocks and significant events. In his book the A LOT of memories moments. Connor as a child loved to swim and run. He just loved being out. " I loved everything, from going to the local swinning pool with friends in the hot summer, to staying up late and playing flashlight tag under the stars." Said nine year old Connor. Also in his book he has a chapter a chapter named When I Was ... It's basically a mermeroy moment chapter. It talk about when he was one to seventeen years old. Connor said the his most significant memorie moment is when he was nine years old. " I joined the swinning team. I stared swimming lengths against the clock."

The Tapper Twins ClickChat


In chapter 7 was maybe the biggest sereno in this book. Since Reese cheese prank failed, he decided to have a sleepover with Xander. They thought of many different ways to attack her back but had nothing. Claudia was showering at this time and like most people she was singing. Xander went to the kitchen to get a drink and heard Claudia's 'horrible' singing. "Xander: Straight up yo, THAT. GIRL. CAN. NOT. SING." Xander told Reese that they should record her and uploaded it to ClickChat. (ClickChat is like Facebook to us). They had that video up for about 12 hours and hundreds of people have seen the video. People stared to put of videos like a howling dog or a baby crying and named it, "Claudia AMAZING singer here."  

Tapper Twins The Cheese


In chapter 5 it was all about Reese's revenge on Claudia. Reese and his friend Xander were talking about how to take action. 
“Xander:  I was all ‘Fine, what-eva. Get some stinky cheese, yo’”
Reese: THAT was a good idea. Expect it had to be wired cheese. Normal stuff like cheddar doesn't even really smell that bad.”  
Of course Reese agreed and bought the smelliest cheese he can afford named Gorgonzola. Claudia took about two hours to figure it out. Sophie and Claudia eat the cheese and thanked Reese for it so they felt like a flair.

Tapper twins


This is a new book I'm reading.

This book is about two twins named Claudia and Reese.Ever since Reese embarrassed Claudia they have been in 'War'.  This book has many conflict in them one I came across was the fish one. Claudia to revenge on Reese she put a fish in his backpack. "I manged to slide it behind the shin guards." In this part of the book Claudia planed her revenge and now is waiting to see is he reaction. Her friend Sophie helped her get the idea and Claudia thought it was perfect. After a few days Reese is backpack has stinted."Dad: I think a mouse died in coat closet. REALLY stinks in there."  "Mom: Did you get rid of it???"  "No time I had to go to work." Claudia was surprised that Reese didn't find out  about the fish for about two weeks.

Anne Frank

Anne Frank was a average 13 year old girl. Like every human we all face adversity (difficulties) in life. Anne since she is a Jewish girl she didn't have the same abilities as the other people (Natiz). She was in hiding for 3 years. She was hiding in a attic were two people helping them. She lived in the attic with 2 more family's. It hard to live in a small spaces and have no alone time or just time for yourself. It like the same for me, I live in a decent house with my mom and sister. We only have two rooms and I share mine with my sister. I never have alone time or get to do what I want. Then Anne is always complaining that her mom doesn't understand her, Same Here! I can never agree with my mom or say who's right. She doesn't understand me I don't understand her so we leave at that. But when I was like five I never meet my "father" and I always wanted to meet him but when I did I "like" him more than my mom, so I had a phase to like Anne. It was pure adversity for me.

What I Think about the Holocaust

After reading about the Holocaust I understand why some help and some watched. Many people did nothing and watched, but if they did something they'll get killed or sent to camps. I get them, to be honest I'll probably just do nothing because if I was in the situation I'll be terrified everyday. I would not talked to no one because I'll give them my opinions and I might say something the person on the Natiz side might not like. But I give credit to the people that did stand up and do something about this. That shows me anything is possible and to be brave. I'm very lucky to not experiences this situation, I honestly couldn't imagine a life like this work till death or be killed right away. 11 million people died because of one person, that's kinda hard to imagine. While I was learning what the Natiz did to indecent people I could The believe it, it was so "unhuman". It was really hard for me to see pictures or read about this topic because I have a weak mind and stomach so every time I heard something that I felt, I felt like crying or throwing up, everything I read seemed unreal something a person wouldn't do.

Twisted

I stared reading a new book called Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson. The only reason I wanted to read is book is because everyone stared to read it and said it was good. Many people recommend but when I wanted to check it out it was out or there were no more copies left.  But I did get one and the book is great it's about this boy name Tyler Miller who is a high school senior. Tyler use to be kind until one day he got caught doing graffiti on the school walls. Now he spents the summer working outdoors to pay what he did. He has a crush on a girl name Bethany Mibury. "His new physique attracts the attention of beautiful popular Beathany Milbury." Beathany is Tyler's fathers boss. Tyler's has a bully name Chip which is also Beathanys brother. "But if you screwed up past. No visible future. But anything can happen senior year."

The Face on the Milk Carton

The Face On the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney 
This book wasn't the best book I read but if you like mystery I recommend this book.
The Face On the Milk Carton is about this girl who found her face on the milk cartoon. It started
off by Lara one day at lunch and she forgot her milk. She took her friend's milk and said "Guys my face is on the carton of milk." She know that because in the book it said " I remember that day. The dress color was itchy and I had my hair in a ponytail." Why is it a big thing that face in the carton of milk. Well if you the caption it says "Missing Girl". How is this possible you think. She asks her self the same question she asked her self if her parents kidnapped her. When she told her table friends of course they didn't believe her. "Maybe that's a excuse for you to take my milk" one of the girls said. What will happened when she told her parents?

Seoul, South Korea

would love to visit Seoul because it's so beautiful and unique. I would love to live there one and learn there culture. But one main reason is because I'm in love it empowers me, I like Kpop. I would one day like to meet or see them in the streets in Seoul. But I would love to try new things like there food and language. It would be nice to leave my comfort spot and see new things.

Compare and Contrast

Can you see the light?

Why can we never ever get along?
I am so broken that I can feel it
The hardest points will stay with you life long
Already too deep inside the large pit
Stars can not shine without all the darkness
my hands shake while my head spins on and on
I wonder if they care! Can I express?
They say it's alright, but it is just a con
In a war with myself. There is no hope
I bet it would be easier to die
Only dim lights are seen in the telescope
It is now time for me to say goodbye 
Everyone just stares at me while I weep
All I want to do is die way down deep

This poem remindes me so much to the main character Lara from Backlash. Lara was a depressing girl. "At these times I wish the pills did work so I wouldn't be hear right now" . She always talks about how much she wishes those pills would of work so she wouldn't feel. But one difference is this poem is just about someone that has those thoughts Lara took pills because of cyberbullying. Lara also has very hard times expressing herself. Lara when she didn't like something she will say like I wish I was dead now. Or people don't understand.

Blacklash

(Simple Intro) 

This book is about a girl name Lara who try's to commute suiced and fails. Ever since that her life isn't the same. It started off by a Facebook message from a boy named Christan. They stared off by talking talking and then it was flirting. Lara doesn't know this guy but as a typical teenager she texts with him everyday for about 2-3 hours. But one day Christan posted on her Facebook wall "your an awful person" , " the world would be a better places without you" . This made Lara think what she did wrong why did he do that. Everything went wrong that day and she took all the pills in her bathrooms and matter went to her hands. When she failed she ended up to a rehab type places and now she cant have privacy. She needs to be guided all the time. When she woke up she found out that Christan wasn't real . WHAT! Who could have done this? Why did they do this ? Was it more than one person? Read the book to find out.

Backlash is a very interesting book. This book has four points of view . Lara (main character) Sydney (Lara's sister) Bree (Lara's ex best friend ) and Liam (Bree's brother / Sydney friend). I really like that the author decided to do a four point of view book because I like to see what the other characters think and think about the situation that are in the book. "My sister looks kind of like the flowers wilting the plastic pee bottle on the dresser." This tells me Syndey think of her as person with loss with something because of they way she described she saying she looks wilting. I think some how all this is going to effect Sydney (I know it it is going to but hard ) I feel like her parents don't put much attention to her that she might end up the same. Hopefully not.

Backlash

Today I finished my Backlash by Sarah Derer Littman and I recommend it if your into sad but humorous story's . I honestly thought this book was going to be like another suicide book and everyone was heartbroken. But I wasn't it was more of a different story and many people are telling it a different way. But I still have a question (Sign post Tough Question) what is everyone thoughts on Lara now. Ever since her incedent people thought of her as the depressed girl . I don't think she will forgive the person who did this. I wonder who are they going to avoided each other. But why didn't this person think before he/she did this? Why didn't this person let Lara explain? After all this Lara is now on the cheerleading team but not the same. She still can't have privacy or have anything to cause her harm but now she can close the doors and be were she wants to with someone. Also she can be online , with some on seeing her. The ending wasn't how I thought is was it made me feel some type of personal connection. But in some parts I just want to like go in the book and say HA! Carma because ever since that person did this he/she been have bad 
I recommend this book it's really good.
