I'm reading the book called "Possessed" by Kate Cann. I just started reading this book and I really like it. This book is about a girl who gets "taken over". Okay so I dont want to give you a retell on the book but, Rayne(the main girl/character) gets possessed and has a controlling boyfriend. This book is really good but some parts really bother me. She lets her boyfriend say stuff to her and she doesn't stand up for herself.
First things first, DO NOT under any circumstances let ANYONE step all over you. Stand up for yourself. One line that stuck out to me in the book was...
If I can just get through this night , I'll be okay, i can leave in the morning, leave and never come back.
This line was really important to me, and its also on the blurb, because it kind of gives me an idea of what kind of person the character is. it also shows that the character is going to go through some rough times duing the story. Reading the other couple of lines just like this one, I got more of a feel of the story. This also connects to what we did in class about the key facts and important and different lines in stories. These lines can help you make inferences about what you might be having to read next.
What I like in books, such as this one, is that the author purposly set up these "little phrases" to set a mood about thinking. This book has a lot of "little phrases" and that is one of the reasons why I like it so much. If your a person who likes to be led into what you are going to be reading next, then this is the book for you!!
This book also has a lot of detail which is another good thing. These details also lead up to the "little phrases", which lead up to knowing that something is wrong, such as her controlling boyfriend. I didn't realize that all of these topics connected until I actually dug deeper into the book and what the author wanted me to Know, Think and Feel. I got a pretty good feel of what I was supposed to Know, Think and Feel.
I recomment this book to people who like detailed stories and being suprised but with a little lead. I loved this book and I hope you do too. :]
I liked how you connected your blog post to the things we are learning in class. I also liked how you called these important phrases " little phrases"
ReplyDeleteOoh, now I want to read this book! It looked boring and fantasy like to me, but I guess not. I liked your thinking and elaboration!
ReplyDeleteI liked the line that stuck out to you the most and I would like to read this book, because you set a good mood for it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the main character needs to stand up for her self. I'm kind of wondering why she didn't stop being with him if he was so abusive in the first place. Other than that I did like to read this book.
