I Love The Book 'One For The Murphys'

I recommend “Cryer’s Cross” to my best friend because it is an amazing book. When I first read the book I thought I wouldn’t like it. But now I am in love with the book. The characters really engage me in the book and I think my friend would fall in love with the characters like I did. You can feel all the emotion in the book and I think that is what engaged me the most. You can feel how the character feels and it makes you feel connected to the characters. One of the quotes from the book is “When it is over, We breath and ache like old oak, like peeling birch. One of our lost souls set free. We move, a chess piece in the dark room, cast-iron legs a centimeter at a time, crying out in silent carved graffiti. Calling to our next victim, Our

The book Orchid of the Bayou was eye opening. Cathryn (Kitty) Hoffpauir Fischer did a good job of being honest, which really allowed the reader to get a better understanding of what being deaf in this time period meant. Her writing really allowed me to see the different struggles that deaf children had to face, and how these struggles were overcome by Kitty. This book taught me many things about Deaf culture.

I was not really into reading at the time, but I remember that my teacher made us read for at least fifteen minutes at the beginning of every class. If we did not have a book there were many books from her library to choose from. I believe this was one of the first books that I read in her class, and think I chose this book in particular because it stood out. I mean the title itself already piqued my interest. I honestly did not think that I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, It was such a bizarre read with all the strange events and abnormal characters. And in a weird way, the strangeness of the story was what I really liked. I do not think I would have liked it as much if it was not for that. It was one of the first chapter books that I did not have to force myself to finish. This was also one of the first books I read that really got me into loving to read. I just loved getting lost in another world and I wanted to keep reading books that did that for me.

I definitely enjoyed reading this book. I kept turning the pages of Jesse by Gary Soto. This book tells the story of a boy who drops out of high school during his senior year, and joins his brother at City College. The brothers meet new people, try to earn more money to add to the little they have, and get through the tough times of Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War. This book was very enjoyable to read because of the first person writing style and because Jesse, the main character, has a very different lifestyle than mine. The first person writing style helped me get a direct point of view from the main character. I also thought it was very different and fascinating to read about a different heritage (Mexican), and life, such as going to

The Jacksonian Period did live up to its characterization of being the era of the “Common Man”. Andrew Jackson was born poor and did not have a formal education like other presidents had, meaning that he represented a “common man” to the people. Jackson wanted more of the normal, average citizens to be able to participate in the government rather than just rich, land owning white men. Jackson also felt that the First National Bank only appealed to the wealthy and high class citizens and he felt that it hurt the normal Americans, so he abolished it. Everything that Jackson felt was not adhering to the common folk, he abolished.

This isn’t technically a book that I read when I was in the properly defined age group, but looking back at this book it is probably the book that has had the largest impact on my life, and had it been out when I was younger would have been a book that I would have read. I read this book after I had finished reading Tuesdays with Morie by the same author. Now I have read a lot of books in my life and I can’t think of one that has had a more profound affect on me than The Five People you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom.

I was so nervous to go into a convince store to buy a coke or a water or some food while tripping on acid. But I didn’t have any other choice after I ran out of food in my pockets and water in my bottles – so I eventually convinced myself that I wasn’t that high, and Adam and I stopped at a convince store to buy what we needed. I kept my sunglasses on and the kind old man behind the counter looked like he knew what was up, but I was so thrashed and my mind was swirling around like blender blades, so I wasn’t entirely sure. All was well though, as I handed the man behind the counter cash, got back my change, grabbed my granola bar and can of coke, and started to be on my way. Then, as I turned to exit the store,

After stating that the second book was my all-time favourite, I think I change my mind about that. The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket was my new favourite book, no doubt whatsoever. Unlike The Bad Beginning and The Reptile Room, this one explored more about the characters, mostly on the Baudelaire children to the point that made you felt incomprehension to them. There were also load things happened that almost caused me to stop reading and having a cup of coffee instead, as I never expected such thing occurred in children books. Nevertheless, The Wide Window was the greatest

In my quest to multitask and save time, I decided to give it a try, and I have to say that I loved it! Honestly, I have not had anyone read aloud to me in years, and this is sort of what it reminded me of. Brown Girl Dreaming was a fantastic audio to listen to. The memoir is written in verse and depicts the conflicts the author faces as a young black girl growing up in both the North and the South. Because you are listening to the story, I felt as if there was so much more that I took away than if I have physically read the book. Listening to the author describe her feelings, dreams, and emotions and the difference in treatment in South Carolina and New York in the late 1960s/70s gives a deeper understanding of the issues that different races faced even in progressively modern times. Brown Girl Dreaming was one of the first books I have listened to by audio, but it will not be

I chose this book for my IR summative because one of my friends had recommended this book to read for my IR. When I first started reading this book, I thought it was really relatable to myself because the character is near my age and faces the same things as me such as drama or more responsibilities. I also thought the book was really funny because there were many jokes inside that were sarcastic. The book had a twist of comedy, mystery, and emotions which strapped me to the book like glue.

For my first book talk I read Under Their Skin by: Margaret Haddix. I did not believe I would like this book because normally I do not like Sci-Fi, but after reading this book I have changed my mind this Sci-Fi books was one of the best books I had ever read. I could not imagine having the responsibility of a secret that could change the life of every human and robot at only twelve years old. They were the only humans on the whole entire planet that had found out the secret. It started with parents remarrying and getting stepsiblings that they were not allowed to meet. Then they went on an investigation that led them to a life changing discovery. My favorite character in this book was Nick. Nick was so trusting and really seemed to have good

I enjoyed Hunger because of the constant struggle that the characters deal with. I felt that I related to them throughout the story because they are teenagers just like me. Every time I picked up that book I could just not put it down.

I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women is by far the best novel about growing up I have ever read in my entire years of existence. It shows you a heartbreaking tale of four sisters who love and care greatly about each other. It shows how you don’t have to be rich to be happy, or how important family is right now. I mean, I never hang

The book I first chose was No Time Like The Present, the main line that intrigued me about the book was “the inescapable moral ambiguities of daily life”. This related to me because everyday of my life throughout my daily routine I deal with morals. Choosing to go an extra mile or to take time out of my life to help someone is an inescapable moral, the morals I feel towards are always with me. After reading into the book a couple pages, my feelings toward the book started to change from intrigued to disinterested. I have never read a book set in Africa and the first few pages seemed to be about how it is rough there for not only families but women in the families. I was quick to judge the book thinking that it is something that I have already read but a different twist. I might return back to this book once I have cleared my thoughts and interpretation towards it.
