Honestly, I never really got into this book and I thought it was pretty pointless overall. It was in no way interesting, hard, or thought provoking. It really made me realize how I’m in 8 grade and I'm not a little kid anymore. Also, reading this book along with “Mindset”, I really started to realize how I took the easy way out by not reading a real classic. “Crossed” had a Lexile of around 650, whereas my Lexile is around 1,200. Right about now I'm really regretting my decision to read this book because I didn't have to stop and think about anything Next quarter I’m definitely going to read a more challenging, thoughtful book. Since this book has such an easy Lexile, there wasn’t a big message in the story. It was mostly just written to entertain …show more content…
Throughout the whole book, Cassia constantly stated her interest in the Rising. Every time she would mention it, Ky would say how much he hated it and he and Cassia would get in an argument. That’s why I was really surprised when he joined the Rising especially since he had to run the entire way there, while Cassia and Indie got to canoe. This is significant because Ky hated the Rising with all of his heart because it’s the reason his parents were killed, but despite his hate for it, he joined it anyway to be with Cassia.

In the end, though, they loved each other so much that Ky gave up his hate for the Rising to join it. This shows that if you love somebody enough that no matter what it is you can learn to
At first I was not sure what I should put, but then when I starting thinking about it, it came pretty easily. However I did have a difficult time thinking about what I can’t change because I try not to focus on that.

One day I was ask to transfer Mrs X from bed into wheelchair. Mrs X is paralised so to transfer her a full body hoist is needed. I had to call for help, it wouldn’t be safe to do this by myself.

From my perspective, the mind always seemed like a complicated and intricate puzzle. It was a puzzle that I had no desire to evaluate or even begin to learn more about. It was something that I had just accepted because I believed it was above my understanding and much too complex. However, I never thought to look at just one small piece of the puzzle. If I could just focus on one little section, maybe I could increase my overall knowledge of the mind. By reading the book, Mindset by Carol S. Dweck, I was given the opportunity to be able to specialize on one very crucial part of our mind. A part that deals with how we view ourselves and others, our communication, and the reasoning behind our actions. This is called our mindset. While reading
