Is everyone who they seem to be?

         I am reading the book called When It happens. There is social action in this book about being a follower of the wrong people and clans. When you know that there are bad romodels around you, you have to be your own person. What will help you be your own person? What will lead you to be a follower? What will make you want to be like these people? These are the questions that stand out the most in the book.
         This book is about two people name Sara and Tobey, finding eachother by going through many other people. They think they like someone, but then they like someone else and then they finally find eachother. These people have gone through a lot in their past  including drugs and worse. Tobey is like a bad boy but Sara tranforms him into a better person and even though her problems aren't as bad as his, he helps her too. Before they meet I feel like they are followers and this can effect many people because some bad things and habbits can rub off on you. This has a lot to do with peer pressure.
         Peer pressure is a world wide problem. But to Sara and Tobey, their love changed this and Tobey flipped his personality. I think that people that read this book will know who to "follow" or hang out with or stay with. This is an example of social action because Sara tried to chage Tobey and she helped him. People who read this book will also know what to do when being peer pressured or know someone who is being peer pressured.

         The author is probably trying to get the point our there that, peer pressure is not a good sign and not to be a follower and to be your own person. This is not what the book is all about but it is a big issue and Sara takes action and tries to change Tobey into taking what he's got and making the best out of it and to make your own choices in life.
   

Charlotte's Web

                                                          SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!


                  Charlotte's Web is an inspiring book. The story is so real even though it is so not. This book is about a pig named Wilbur, he is an inspirational character yet at some point he is seen as the child in this story. Wiblur is grown up by a young girl named Fern,she loves and cares for Wilbur. Finally the day came that Wilbur had to grow up on his own and live in the barn with other animals. He seems so lonely until he believes that he can make a friend...and he does! He meets a small but mighty character named Charlotte. She is a spider and then becomes the mentor in the story. Wilbur thinks he is going to die but Charlotte finds an amazing, different way to save him.
                 This story changed my perspective on small and weak people. They may be small, but their words and actions make them mighty. When I first read this book, it blew my mind to find out that Charlotte saved Wilbur's life and also the way she did it. I would never have imagined a spider being able to spin words into a web. But it came to the point that the characters were so realistic,even as animals, that maybe spiders can do this. As I read the book the second time I realized that spiders probably cant  spin words into their webs. But this thought that I had actually began to sound like a metaphor. "...dont doubt a small object, for they will forsee your expectations."
                When Charlotte died after getting her egg sac to come out, I felt a whole in my stomach .....This tiny, tiny, tiny small character just made a lump in my throat.  This also proved the point that small things can be very mighty. Also knowing that this story is made up didnt make a difference. I still felt for the characters and I still felt like this really can happen in real life. I don't know why, but I felt like I've grown very close to and fond of these characters. The author did an amazing job getting the picture of wat was happining behind the real story in my head.
                 What I mean when I say "...behind the real story" is that, you can have multiple ideas of what is actually happening. Like thinking deeper. This book already gets you thinking deeper because it is a children book, but you have to think even deeper to get the story behind the real story. So i guess what I'm trying to say is that, even though one obvious story is sticking out to you, look deeper into it to surpass what the author really wanted you to see.
                  Charlotte's Web is an overall great book. I think that if you ever get the opportunity to read it more than oncce, you should definatly do that. I loved it so much and it changed my perspactive on many things, in a good way and I hope that it can do the same for you. :)

Coraline!!

      I personally think that Coraline is the best book ever written on earth!! The concept of the story nd the way the characters evolve from immature kids to mature adults, is great! When characters from any book, have an idea they usually stick to that, but not Coraline Jones. She thinks that her alternate universe is everything she's ever wanted... but she's wrong. The mysterious dangers that lurk behind the small door await the new coming readers.
      The details in this book put an amazing detailed image in my head. I can imagine every word that every character would say because of all the detail put into it. I love how the story completly turns around when one character notices something. They all connect comehow and sometimes its through thought or sometimes through actual visual experience.
       There are a lot of stories behind the actual story;Who the other mother is,Why she does this,Who's related to Coraline's story and much more. I think this author did a good job of creating a realistic fiction story because some of theses things can happen in real life but some can't. It all links together somehow with the actual real story having to deal with Coraline and the other mother.
       I recommend this book to people who can actually sit down and have time to enhale the amazingness of this story. This book has such a strong story line that you have to pay attention and think outside of the box. It is overall just an amazing book, from when I read it in 3rd grade to when im reading it now in 8th grade. I've gotten more mature so I understand the story nd the stories nehind the story better now.

Bridge To Terabithia

        "Bridge To Terabithia" is one of the best books ever. It takes my mind on a magical journey to "terabithia". I can feel the passion coming through the book. It's so amazing. The story is inspiring. There are a lot of themes in this story; Love, Friendship,Choosing Wisely, Jealousy, Jealousy in Love and Friendship. These themes pop out a lot during the story.
       
         I recommend this book to people that are willing to take a strong part in this book about two best friends and their stories. When you look at a person sometimes you cant see what they are on the inside but once you get to know them, you can feel what they are on the inside. You may think they have everything, but sometimes they dont. Like when Leslie sees that Jess isnt the richest person, she's shocked.
        
        What I mean by "Jealousy in Love and Freindship" is that you an love someone so much and be their best friend but still be envious. When Jess gets really jealous about Leslie being the fastest he still wants to be her friend. I feel like Jess going with the teacher when Leslie dies and he finds out after, he is jealous that she's getting attention in school so why not go with a teacher? Right?

         Over all this book is great. It has so muh to think about and so much thought and feeling that you want to just read it over and over again, just like I did. I've grown so fond of this book it's CRAZY! But Why not fall in love with a book as amazigh as this??
