Summary: The Last Star

Rick Yancey’s science fiction novel, “The Last Star,” takes place in a modern day society where the government has become corrupted and is now working against the human race. Most of the people left after the 5 waves, barely even try to stay alive. They know the odds of surviving is a lot to a little, so they think what is the point of staying alive a week longer. Although, a group of 6 people try their hardest and their best to stay alive. These 6 people are probably the only 6 people in their world that is trying to stay alive. And because they try their best, they end up surviving much longer than other people. This suggests that a possible theme for Rick Yancey’s “The Last Star” is that however much

enjoyed the plot of the book. I also chose the book because it was the only book that seemed most interesting.

Clay plays for the Lone Stars. He is a wide receiver and he’s good at it too. He plays under Coach Coop. Coach Coop played for TCU. Clay was one of the best wide receivers in his division. The Pee Wee division that is. The Lone Stars were playing the River Walk Lions. Coach Coop called a cross play up the middle. Clay was getting ready to run his route and was being guarded by Bobby Flores a guy that moved out of their school district. David snapped the ball, and Clay made a cut to get him open. Clay noticed David had all the time in the world but noticed he led Clay by way too much.

In addition, I never knew what was going to occur next. There are so many twists and turns and I could not predict any of them. Furthermore, Wattley's style of writing is phenomenal and the book progresses smoothly. I also did not find any errors in the formatting of this

George wasn’t freaking out because he’d long felt he’d hit the ceiling at work. Not the glass ceiling, but a steel ceiling, one that could not be shattered. Bert and Ernie would never make him a partner, and they already paid him pretty well and were not likely to give him more than incremental raises in the future. But now that Stellar was becoming a division of Circular, George wasn’t at the ceiling any more. There was a floor above his head, populated by Circular execs. None of them knew the video business as he and his friends at Stellar did. They did know the music business, inside and out. Maybe George would get to learn that business, while helping them to understand his. Maybe work would become interesting

I really appreciated the plot twist at the end because although I knew that the UNSUB would be someone close to Cassie, I didn’t actually pinpoint it at Agent Locke. It surprised even more when she revealed that she was actually Lorelai Hobbes’s little sister. The book being written in 1st person, through Cassie’s perspective, really helped with having the readers feel they are also figuring out the cases with her. I could feel like the thrill from this point of view. For even more suspense, there’s still the unanswered question about how Cassie “was still no closer to finding the monster who’d actually killed her” (304).

Jews were not much different from other citizens in the 1930s. They were teachers, doctors, farmers, and factory workers. Their social status ranged from wealthy to poor. Their children attended school, learned a trade, or continued on to college for a degree. The Jews, however, were different than other citizens due to their Jewish beliefs. During World War II a symbol of their beliefs, the Star of David, was used to identify and label them. The Star of David was made into a Yellow Star icon which became a symbol of separation and humiliation for the Jews.

One unique/interesting part in the book is Casey(the girl that is missing) likes to play pranks so I thought throughout the book it could possibly be a prank. I didn’t dislike anyone in the book, which was a surprise but I really enjoyed reading this book and it really kept reading to find Casey. Through the book

Being honest, given the nature of this book being so “strange”, the outcome is becoming all too predictable to me.

I’d like to build on what I was saying about understanding the book, when I read it especially in certain chapters when something big happened, I could predict what was going to happen. This was a really intense book but after the theme I could understand it.

The STARS program is a process that most students have not even heard about, as a first time student myself, I was not even aware that the program existed. Most people might wonder what STARS is, for instance, STARS, however, stands for “Statewide Transfer and Articulation Reporting System.” It is an agreement that mostly a two-year college and most public four-year colleges in Alabama has that give all the transferring of courses taken to a public university in Alabama. In addition, most student wonder how to connect to STARS through their school site, it is an easy process; most colleges will have a link at the top of their website that will lead straight to the STARS site. However, from there STARS will give student instructions on how

One may argue that this book was too long and partly too descriptive in both the storyline and the characters, which made it hard to follow the storyline throughout the book.

In the year of 3030 in the galaxy called Theta Star, it is a wonderful place where everyone is treated with equality and gets alone with everyone. One day, everything was going fine in Theta Star until its security system was hacked by Bottleneck; the meanest, cold-hearted person. He despised and hated everything that Theta Star stood for so he wanted to destroy the galaxy. There was only one person that could take down Bottleneck and that was Boa. Boa has the strength of a lion, the endurance of a cheetah, and the charisma of a sorcerer. However, he has a mind of a three-year-old, he lacks wisdom, he’s arrogant about the world, and lacks intelligence that will help him take down the evil Bottleneck. Later that day, the king of Theta Star

"Marco," Star starts, her excitement beginning to dim as they walked on. "I 'm sorry, for this I mean." She gave a glance at the back of Marco 's head, stepping quickly to reach his side. "I never wanted this to turn out so badly."
