Ransom's Library Of Souls

But, the way the author used symbolism, foreshadowing, and relatable quotes stood out to me the most. When I was reading and even after, I found myself making connections and thinking deeper into the books

The book is a good book because it makes you ask questions while you're reading it but what's happening and to get a better understanding on what's happening in the story. Like in my book the characters wonder if their dad is going to come home from the war and if he's alive or dead. This makes you question if he is really dead or alive

In conclusion the book the color of water I enjoyed very much because most books will just have one kind of point of view but this book had a child and his mother and to figure out some history from both sides makes it interesting, and the certain chapters I talked about in the story is what I found was most important and interesting and I believe most people would agree, and this is a book I would highly

This book interests me because it has a lot of action. “Shoot him! Shoot him!” three shotguns in rapid succession. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Sam fired back. Pencils of blistering green light scoured the sand. A cry of pain. “Don’t run away!” “Cowards!” (Grant 248). That was when the town of Perdido Beach was on fire and Sam was fighting them by using his powers against the H.C (Human Crew) and the leader Zil. This book is also interest’s me because Michael Grant (the author of the book) shows the perspectives of kids my age and their reaction to certain situations. An example is when Sam Temple meets once again his adversary. “Hey there Sammy. Long time, huh?” “No,” Sam gasped. “Oh, yes,” the voice snarled. The voice Sam knew. The voice he dreaded (Grant 249). Sam’s adversary is a boy named Drake who is a truculent person, has a tentacle for a hand, and is Caine’s right hand man. Drake scares Sam because Drake whipped him at the power plant and he remembers feeling all the pain he

What made me choose this book was the title. Looking at the title and reading the back of the book it just seems like something I can relate to. Grewing up the way that I did and seeing the thing that I have I felt like this could be a good book for me. The subject of the book is also something that I would like to learn more about. This being a non fiction book I seen a perfect chance to do actually that. What really made me choose this book was my interest in the title.

I chose the book A Long walk to water for my literary pumpkin. I chose A long walk to water because it is a nonfiction book ,about Salva and Nya. The girl Nya is fetching water from a pond that is two hours' walk from her home, she makes two trips to the pond every day but then at the end of the book she gets good clean water. The boy Salva becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Then one day he goes to America and gets a family and then a couple weeks or months later he gets an email from his cousin and its about his father, then Salva sees his father and gets to hear things about his family and father.

I’ve been reading a very fascinating book called “Water for Elephants,” by Sara Gruen has two plot twists. One is of a young boy just starting his life and the other is an old man stuck at a nursing home. It reveals that the the young version of Jacob Jankowski witnessed a murder at the circus. He never told a soul of what he witnessed. Jacob was enrolled in Cornell University and was studying to become a veterinarian.

I selected All The Night We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr because the plot stood out to me more when compared to the other selections and I thought that enabled me to gain a better interest. Although the plot would be something that usually intrigued me, I lost interest in the book within a few chapters. It may or may not have been the book but I feel the major reason is because I’m just not a reading person. But even though every page I continued to read made me want to pull out my hair, I continued all the way until the end because I knew that I had to read a book and I had already gotten so far into the novel that I didn’t want to start a new one because I wouldn't finish it in time. The hardest part about this for me is that I have a ridiculously

I chose Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson due to the content of emotion. It is a sarcastic, confusing and depressing book that lets one go through a journey with the main character, Melinda. I continued to read Speak because I wanted to educate myself on rape culture and how Melinda has been living with a huge secret that she has never told anyone. Throughout the book, Melinda has trouble with her classes, making friends, and finding herself due to what happened that summer night.

The book that I have chosen is the The Cay written by Theodore Taylor. The theme of this book is an action and adventure. I believe the theme was very obvious. The genre of the story is a speculative fiction. The story starts off on an island called Curacao during the World War 2 era. In Curacao you meet a boy named Phillip Enright.

I selected The Chosen for my favorite book this semester. This book differed from any other book I have read before. Filled with facts, life lessons, and instruction, this book filled me with an array of new information and stories. I selected The Chosen as my favorite book this semester because it taught the readers about Jewish religion, highlighted the father-son relationship, and surprised me with the level of description depicted in the writing.

The main character is Jacob. The other characters are Jacobs parents. Their named are Emma and Rich. Jacobs brother name is Theo. Henry is Jacobs friend.

Why Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry is my favorite is because even though it’s decently lengthy, my interest was held throughout the entire book. There was never a moment where I was confused on what the characters were feeling or what was going on. The describing words make the book so vivid, I can almost imagine myself riding horseback with Benny and Tom through a horde full of zombies. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is my least favorite because it’s super boring to me. I don’t really get interested in the Salem Witch trials and all those stories that are supposedly based on a true story. To me I think that’s all it is, myths.

If I had a chance to save one book from a fire I’d have to say it would be Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson. I think that if a book can connect to you on a deeper level so that you think of it even if you haven’t read it in months or years and you can still say that that is the best book you have ever read because it makes you feel. I have never, in a long time read a book since I read this book felt so strongly about needing this book in my life. It says it’s a romance book but in reality I don’t see it as that the whole time I read it, and I’ve read it many many times.

The journey of the hero, I find the most interesting in the books that we have read in class. In Gilgamesh the journey of the hero is the most interesting one that I have read so far. The reasons that I find Gilgamesh the most interesting is that it was one of the oldest stories in history. Also it seems that many stories after Gilgamesh have similarities in other books. For example, the great flood it has been seen in many stories like the bible. Another example is the hero themselves, in the story the hero has the chance to become immortal, but they turn it down, or like in Gilgamesh a snake took his immortality.
