Journal Entries for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

This book was very interesting. The book had a lot of drama and I really enjoyed it. Although, the book ended on a cliffhanger, I still really liked it. There was conflict throughout the book with Ethan and his family. His family thought that things would go back

Besides the author’s writing style, the plot of this book was very interesting and sad. Jamal’s older brother was in jail due to murder and his mother is a single parent that has to work nearly 24 hours a day to support Jamal and his

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.

This book, was never to my liking, I always wondered why Mrs.Silva always talked about this book. I was never interested in reading really long books, my mind always would drift off but this book had something about it that was connected with me!

I would definitely recommend this book to someone. It is a little slow but it has a good story line and it gets more interesting the more you read it and the deeper you get.

I, personally, loved the author's writing, although I did not really understand why she structured the book like so. With each chapter changing different perspectives and stories, it was kind of hard to remember which chapter went with another considering the chapters where out of order. With each story, I was a little annoyed that they just suddenly ended at the end of the chapter. It made me want to read more and more trying to find the next chapter that went with that person's story. It was also kind of difficult to connect the stories. Other than that, she did a marvelous job grabbing my attention. I loved the analogies that she included in the stories. For example, on page 216- 217, one of the mothers told her daughter about a turtle that eats her tears and then creates birds that laugh

To Kill a Mockingbird is an amazing book filled with life lessons. It gives the chance to realize how horrible people can be and how injustice can fit into the world. Though most people will leave the book with a different conclusion. It is probably safe to say everyone will have a positive conclusion and a new frame of mind. To Kill a Mockingbird is truly a

It is scary when you don’t know anybody and have to try to make new friends. Many of your young childhood friends will stay with you for a lifetime. Today, I am still friends with many of my oldest friends. They have become like family. I want to say that this novel is a great way for people to see how somebody from a diverse population lives. It is a great book from the view of somebody living a completely different life than I have lived. I think it was very well written and is easy to read. This makes it a great teaching tool for children of younger age groups or college students as well. I read this entire book at one sitting because it kept my interest the entire time. I couldn’t wait to see what

The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to

The book made me feel really engrossed until the very end. I was starting to get bored with Caleb being the new protagonist. I loved when Adam was the protagonist and he was against

After reading the novel it made me appreciate my grandparents a lot more. I rarely visit them and after reading how Jacob felt at the residential home I’m motivated to visit my grandparents more often.

After reading the diary entries of Mrs. Chestnut, I have been able to gain a little bit of insight into her life. Overall, the Chestnuts appear to be a fairly affluent family. Although it is not made clear whether Mrs. Chestnut herself comes from a family of wealth, I believe that she has been able to rise in her social standing after marrying Mr. Chestnut. To begin, Mrs. Chestnut appears to hold a number of dinner parties with family friends. As she names the people she comes in contact with, some of their occupations are mentioned. The people she associates herself with seem to be of the same class. In her diary entry on April 13th, Mrs. Chestnut is having tea with a friend, and talks about the presence of her “negro servants.” The fact that

“It has developed a mind of its own!” Rowley yells. “In fact, rumor has it, that this book can bend reality to its will. Any time the book starts getting ‘bored’ it will try to make the story it is writing more interesting.”

The first chapter of “The Maze Runner” really gets me excited for the rest of the book. I enjoy how it leaves the reader plenty of room to wonder what will happen later in the book. It has an interesting vocabulary that includes some of the slang words that the people of the glade made up. It seems that the plot of the book will quicken very quickly as already there is a lot of foreshadowing hinting toward some unknown beast and a giant maze. I predict that Thomas’s arrival will trigger some sort of issue that he will have to resolve. Just the first chapter has gotten me very excited for the rest of the book.
