5 STARS - Such a beautiful book. It has an amazing theme. The way that it is written you can feel CJ’s struggles and how his nana is truly an amazing woman. CJ’s nana makes you think of all the good things in life. I think it sends a great message to students. We can’t have everything we want, but life is beautiful. The illustrations compliment they story perfectly also.
This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.
I think that this work is a very well put together book. Even though In the earlier questions I make it sound like a ten on ten this book is not. I rate this book a 9/10 for the soul reason that it was on a very directed path and you could the events that were going to happen before they did by just reading the book. Even the twist that the author put in were not that book which made some of the book predictable and who really wants a book in which they know everything that is going to happen.
I give this book a solid B+, because I think he did a very nice
I rate this book a 9/10. It was so amazing and I learned so much from this novel. I definitely recommend this book because it really opens your eyes to the troubles of this world, and families who are breaking apart. The reason why I didn’t give it a perfect score was because, at times I would get confused by the dialogue because the author didn’t fully write who was talking in a conversation. Other than that, it was a heartbreaking story that gave me a bigger perspective of this
High Noon, which is an old western type of movie, is about a sheriff named Will Kane that has to fight to save his town. "The Most Dangerous Game", which is a short story about a man named Rainsford who has to fight for his survival. High Noon and "The Most Dangerous Game" have similar main characters and similar story patterns, but have a different overall theme.
I liked how the pages are set up. Half of the page is the words divided up by two to three short sentences. The other half is the depiction
Evaluation: Although the dialect of some of the characters takes some getting use to, I enjoy this book. This is an American classic, filled with humor but critical of people who can be so civilized and so cruel at the same time. It is a boy’s adventurous coming of age that celebrates the individual spirit of America and the romantic vision of innocence and virtue in nature.
Overall, the book is really good and sticks to those three main ideas of courage, weakness and truth throughout it. As both a reader and a writer (I write my own little novels) this book is really goods and i would recommend it to anyone who asks
Throughout the last week I have found myself evaluating the conflicts between the groups, the ask and the answer, Todd and the things he has done, and Todd and Viola. This book is very intriguing and interesting to me and I look forward to starting the next book in the series after I finish The Ask and the Answer. I would give myself a 9 out of 10 on this journal because I included all of my quotes and I incorporated all of the conflicts that occurred during this
Curtis’s ideas and use characters are surprisingly very well used and described during the story. In the first pages of the book, the reader already gets hooked to the story and wants to continue on. The reader is always presented with new problems or ideas especially with a character like Bud. The type of writing always keeps the reader attached to the story. Curtis even achieved to put some humor during the story, which made me laugh. His story is very well constructed and logic. I like his choice of characters and the plot in general. I easily read the book and never got confused on his writing. I highly recommend people to read this book. Adults and children can read it even if Christopher Paul Curtis wrote books for kids. In the books 250 pages, it consists of a very good story and interesting characters.
I would recommend this book because it shows all the aspects of life and never makes you bored like other books that waste so much time describing something little and doesn’t get on with anything. This book is appropriate for teenagers and young adults as it has some inappropriate things and ideas like the rape case. This book links to my life by showing how racism is a concerning case like what’s happening now in many countries in the world not just about race but about religion and opinions. It also links to my life when I do things early and I get in trouble for that even though I’ve done something right not
My intentions when I review a book are never to tear down the author, but rather to share how a particular piece of literature affected me. For this reason I'd like to begin by sharing what I liked about the story. For starters, the food and literary references were fun! My husband fancies himself an "Iron Chef" so we watch a lot of cooking shows this helped me as I read. Another aspect I liked about the story was how remarkably human Reay's characters felt. They were selfish, fearful, grudge-holding, and sinfully flawed. Additionally, Reay portrayed them and their reactions to cancer/grief in a variety of ways. Some tried to put on a brave front, others reacted in anger, some became withdrawn, still other internalize their
One day Rhyan and I had just gotten out of college. Rhyan went to his dad's house and told his dad that we were going to borrow his car and his dad said no. That night Rhyan said let's take the car anyway. I said, “ Is that a good idea?” Of course it wasn’t but I said ok anyway. The main reason why we wanted to go to Seattle, Washington was to get the Seattle Seahawks to sign a football for his Dad’s Christmas present. So, back to the story. Right before we left, his dad woke up and went into our room. He saw that we were still there playing games and as soon as he went back to bed we snuck outside to take the car. We were finally on our way to Seattle Washington. That morning
This book is great for anyone who loves romances and mysteries. This book incites many different emotions from the reader like excitement, awe, sadness and yet this is an extremely relatable book to many teens because Pudge’s feelings are very real and common. Even though this book does contain death and many grave moments this book is really funny. My favorite part was the ending because I felt it the book meaning and purpose. Though this book is only 221 pages it has a lot of action, emotion, love, and suspense in it. Also, in just 221 pages John Green gets a great message across.It is perfect for a quick read. But this book does include some (not very much) explicit language. This book is also great for school readings since it has a deeper meaning and multiple motifs and themes that a student can learn from. For example, the themes in this book include love, death, religion, expectations versus reality, friendship, and
Individuals with mental health illness often experience direct or indirect stigma from their community, friends and family members. Upon the completion of a community assessment of the 90804 zip code, one of the social problems revealed was the stigma towards individuals who have a mental health disorder. This information was provided by two local mental health service providers and both interviewees paralleled in their responses as they indicated that the local community is generally unfamiliar of the needs of people who are diagnosed with a mental disorder. Both added that community members directly mistreat them by often ignoring in the community; treating them uncaringly. During these interviews, it was learned that individuals who perceive mental health stigma (MHS) resist beneficial treatment to address their symptoms.
