CHARACTERIZATION: Melody is very smart for her age though everyone doesn’t believe that and she remembers everything that she senses forever. Melody was unique from everyone in a way that no doctor could fix her. Melody tries to express her feelings so people like her Mom can understand, but people misunderstand her. Melody likes to learn about others and sees everyone as an unique kid. She also acts like the omniscient narrator because it’s like she is explaining the story and is also the protagonist. She is also in a small room of disabled kids in her school and barely anyone says hello to

In this book there was multiple examples of technology like how we have computers they had newspappers that told all there news they did not have phones or tv’s.

If I were to compare All The Answers to another book, I’d probably compare it to The Thing About Luck, by Cynthia Kadohata. These books are similar in that they both have a 12 year old girl as their main character. Both of them struggle, but in slightly different ways. Ava learns strange things about her family, and Summer (the protagonist of The Thing About Luck) goes through a series of small family disasters. At the same time, the books are very different. Ava lives a normal life, while Summer’s family works for a custom harvesting company. “Messner… has created a relatable, sympathetic character in anxious Ava, and her story is at its best when Ava's life remains centered around the norms of her school, friends, and multigenerational family” - Publishers Weekly. I agree with this review. Ava was a very relatable character. It sums up the book very well, and includes the important bits of the story. What did Ava find out about her family? What does she do with the pencil in the end? I can’t tell you. Read the book, and you’ll find all the

She is a girl who is sick of “a rose,” or the nice but boring life that she leads. Her interest in the neighborhood children comes

”All The Years Of Her Life”,Tells you about two friends who thought they were invincible and didn't think anything bad would happen. Until they got jumped then the whole story flipped around.

It has become a part of life to want to update. From electronics to wardrobes, Americans tune in to the next big thing and feel out of the loop if they do not have it. But quick, cheap updates have a price. Annie Leonard’s colloquial, upbeat presentation of “The Story of Stuff” examines sustainability issues and how current social and political attitudes contribute to the destruction of Earth. Leonard presents her argument based on intergenerational and intragenerational environmental justice. However, though her argument is persuasive, she provides a solution that is idealistic but lacks a specific plan of action.

Annie loved both of her sisters dearly. Annie thought that her sister Amy, “must be the most beautiful child on earth.” She goes on to explain that Amy was more or less obedient, smart, quiet and tidy. Amy spent most of her time playing with her friend Tibby, and when she wasn’t playing with Tibby, “she played with her dolls.” Annie recalls with fondness how Amy would play with her dolls, and quote lines from the comic books she read. Molly, because she was younger, inspired a different kind of affection in Annie. She explains that Molly possessed a dingy blanket which accompanied her at all times. Annie marveled at how silly Molly was for seeming to think that if she covered her eyes with her blanket, she became invisible to the world. The

The book cover draws my attention. It is a portrait of a young, poker-faced woman. When I open the book, I find the words are packed and the book is thick. Hence, my first impression of this book is a monotonous and classic love story with anticipated ending.

This novel tells about a 16 year old cancer patient, named Hazel, and her journey to finding the answers to her favorite book that has left her cliffhanging for so long. Accompanying her was Augustus Waters, a 17 year old cancer survivor that she met at Support Group and fell in love with, and with him by her side as the journey proceeds, Hazel's perspective of life becomes more positive and her doubts begin to fade.

The novel throws light on some important things of life like how love is always associated with sadness, how a person’s childhood experiences affect his/her perspectives and whole life. The novel shows the ugly face of people and society as a whole, a vivid description of the black and sarcastic world especially with reference to women that dwells around us.
