Lois Duncan's Killing Mr. Griffin

The Novel Killing Mr. Griffin by: Lois Duncan is a story about the plot of kidnapping the English teacher of Del Norte High school. Being a student of Del Norte High school, Susan McConnell (the protagonist) encounters some difficulties and joy after she finally gets accepted in the “popular” herd. These upside and downsides turn into major themes which are incorporated during the course of the book. The major themes that are developed inside the book are: peer pressure/manipulation, psychopaths, conscience/guilt.

A good way the book was presented was the fact it all happened within fifty four minutes, and the reader knows as some of the minutes pass. It was also presented out of four different eyes. This is both good and bad to me. I think it’s good because it shows how everyone is feeling in their own perspectives throughout the shooting. I also think it’s bad because it tends to get confusing, and it’s hard to keep it all in order. The clarity of the events get scrambled, but I think that was a way she wanted to write it because everyone felt so scrambled, and so were the thoughts they had. One thing I really enjoyed in the book was the fact that the language was a typical teenage language. It would be something my friends and I would say. It makes you really connect with the book. I think the authors attitude towards the subject is serious, she wants to show her readers how much of a problem this is and how important it is in today’s society. Nobody ever writes about the negative part of the world, and she did exactly that in a respectful way. I think the connection to the authors treatment to the subject was the research she did really helped her keep the book interesting, but also she wanted to remain respectful for those who actually have been involved in a tragic event like the one in the book. She treated the subject like she had been through it. The author made it feel like I have been through it, and that

Lastly, this story had a lot of good points in it, including the different points of view and storylines within the characters, which I really enjoyed getting to read. Personally, I would recommend this book if you like a mystery that ends with a sort of happy ending with something you wouldn’t

As the overall book, I actually kind of liked it because it was kind of hard to understand because they couldn’t use “I” and I like challenges. They had to use “We” instead of using “I” to explain they self or the story. The book was okay as a whole but still kind of hard to understand I got kind of irritated after a while, while I was reading the book because of the way it was written.

The book is very well written and was very surprising at parts. The book has lessons in it don’t go where your parents tell you not to go. When you are under investigation for a very serious crime you should not get to even more trouble. Surprising moments made the book good. The most surprising moment was when Buck and tunes who are the main characters almost get shot by a old man named Jumbo.

I thought that S.E Hinton did an amazing job at making the details in the book stand out. She also made the ideas of people interesting by combining details. All problems and all things were stated exactly as it should be. It was easy to picture and tell who everyone was with the details she had given. I think she did a very good job

The writing was well put together, there were some times where flashbacks just happen with no warning, they just happen and it can be confusing at times but once you realize that the flashbacks happen when the main character blacks out or falls asleep then it becomes easier to understand. The mood of the story is a very sad story just from the situation that the characters are in and their past like Andy and Charlie McGee a father and daughter who’re on the run from “The Shop” who feel lost and are constantly living in fear in the beginning Andy was always worried and had to come up with a plan to escape as it happened it really gave you the sense of hopelessness that the characters felt.The story Firestarter was a good book for many reasons it had a very interesting plot, the writing was superb, the story telling was excellent, And

I thoroughly enjoyed your interpretation of The Help. You answered the questions wonderfully, providing excellent explanation and evidence from the novel. I did not choose Skeeter as my favorite character, but I can easily see how you like her so much. Her self drive to give the colored maids a voice in the world, is a courageous risk to take. Your answer to number ten stood out to me the most, because of what currently happens on Las Vegas. Your response was easily related to today's society, by “a person’s character is based on the things they go through.” Moreover, I think you could write an excellent epilogue to this book, depicting the characters lives perfectly in ten years. I love how to paired Miss Celia and Minnie in opening a local

Something that I really liked was when luke felt all alone and one day he was just sitting in his room and seen someone and they became the best of friends. Another part of the booked I thought was nice was the relationship between Jen and Luke, they didn't know about it at first, but then their friendship grew stronger and stronger. Something else I liked was how they had to hide away from everyone because of the population police. How he had to survive without any light, sneaking outside and being stuck inside without having a real life. It was very interesting. Although, there was something I didn't like. I didn’t really like how sometimes in the book there was something I thought was interesting and it didn’t really last long enough or didn’t give much detail. For example, when Luke found out that Jen could do things he couldn’t . The author didn’t really explain it very much. But, other than those types of things, I thought that it was a really good book and I would recommend it to lower level readers and or in the middle type of readers. Those are some things I thought that were good and some things I didn’t like about the

In closing, I think the book is awesome and I really enjoyed reading it. The dialogue was writing amazingly and the characters traits and beliefs were on key. I also really enjoyed the relationships between Henry and Keiko as well as the relationship between Henry and his

I thought it was a very good book and it taught me a lot about what people went through a long time ago. The characterization was excellent, I felt like I knew the characters extremely well and could tell what they were all thinking. The characters also fit the story completely and made it interesting, there were conflicts between characters and also conflicts between a character and himself. The plot was also very good because it not only showed me what times were like back in the day, but it also taught me an important lesson (hence the title of this paper) that applies to today’s society. The plot was fluid and played out nicely throughout the entire book, even during the chapter dedicated to “Jefferson’s diary”. In its entirety, the book made me realize how much our society has changed for the better and how progress does not always have a negative impact on the

I felt wired and connected throughout this entire book. I'm always looking for new and interesting novels to add into my library Rolodex. This was definitely a great addition and I'm anticipating more from this author. Out of the gate, the beginning of the book draws you in and keep you there for a while. This book provokes you to read more with an in-your-face style delivery method other authors seem to lack. I was a little skeptical at first about reading this book because the previous novels in this series that has somewhat of the same theme; good guy save the day, political obstruction, and patriotism. This book has all of that and more in just the right amounts. And the unique thing about the author is that he makes these subjects mesh together well. This book has lots of action that jumps out the pages to you at high rates of speed. The fast pace delivery method of Brad Thor's writing style is what makes him a great author who's entertaining to read. Scot Harvath's superhero-like mentality is contagious and puts you in a good mood whenever he accomplishes his missions. He is the primary focus of the book and the main person who saves the day. Brad Thor uses great tactics in executing his points to keep the reader's interest in Scot Harvath. This book demonstrates how practical Scot Harvath's skills can be. It shows how deep his intellect goes in solving problems and getting past obstacles. One thing I love about this book is that you can see how vividly the main character is developing along the way with others on his team as

In conclusion, the book was very interesting and kept me wanting to continue reading. The way Capote used the detailed to describe what happened in different parts of the novel helped me crate a better picture in my mind. The only thing that I did not like was the fact that he kept going from one scene to another and going back and forth, although it made sense, it was a bit confusing at first. At the end it all made sense, and got a better understanding on why it was wrote the way it was written.

I love how the book progressed fast. It was hard to put the book down because every chapter left me with hints. There were always moments like fast-paced action and heart-breaking decisions. The thing I liked the most about the book is the friendship and loyalty between Thomas, Minho and Newt. The Death Cure built up to excitement in every chapter until the end. The ending got me disappointed because it left so many questions

     One of the best features of the book is how it was written. The point of view changes every chapter. For example Chapter 1 is written in the point of view of the infamous Foxy character. Chapter 2 is written in the point if view of our protagonist, Steve; and so on .I also liked how the author built the relationship of the characters up, so you care about what happens to them and feel like you're going through what they are going through. For instance, the author tells us of Steve's wife's death. We find out that Steve's son,
