What Are The Challenges Of Life By David Teague

Scorpions by Walter Dean Myers is a book about family, friendship, loyalty, and how far someone is willing to go to help the ones they love. I enjoyed this book very much and I really liked the author’s writing style. Myers uses a very laid back style of writing that gives younger readers a better understanding of what’s going on. I really liked his style because it opens my eyes to something I couldn’t imagine something happening to a kid that’s around the same age as me. Unlike most authors, Myers doesn’t sugarcoat the reality of the things that happens to kids our age. Many kids like Jamal, are going through things they shouldn’t be, and Myers does an amazing job of writing about those children.

The first night was rough, mosquitoes clouded around their shelter and made it hard to breathe, but after a while they became immune to the bites and the buzzing. While searching or a sustainable source of food, Brian fell into a canyon that held fish and other underwater creatures. After setting traps and collecting food, Brian and Derek come across a huge tree and a hole in the ground. The tree would provide them protection from the rain that would soon come, and the hole would provide them a shelter to sleep in.

Who we really are, what our real character is only truly elicited when we are challenged, as a proverb states, “In the darkest hour shines the brightest light.” Our true character shines through when we are pushed to our extremes and are placed in situations outside of the norm. Horace claims that when someone is faced with an adversity or a challenge, they are more likely to discover talents that they thought they never had. I agree with his claim that adversity breeds talents and strengthens our character, but still understand the importance of prosperity in developing talents.

Life is full of challenges. In the stories, “Breaking Through Uncertainty-Welcoming Adversity” and “Neighbours,” written by Jim McCormick and Lien Chao, the main characters illustrate benefits derived from taking risks. Even though both people in these texts undergo personal challenges, in “Neighbours” the character, Sally, receives greater benefits from taking risks than McCormick in “Breaking Through Uncertainty-Welcoming Adversity”.

Phoenix, Arizona was their next destination. Jeanette’s original thought of living with their grandma again were cast aside as Mary reveals that she passed away during their stay at Battle mountain. Upon arrival the family stays in a fairly large house that was left in Grandma Smith’s will for Mary. Things were positive at first as the usually are, but slowly took a wrong turn as they usually do. Jeanette attends a new school where she is bullied for her intelligence, however this conflict soon ends when her brother Brian steps in and stands up for her. Rex got another job and supplied for the family as usual. Just as things were getting nice, Christmas day comes. This time the kids actually had real gifts, they each got a bike as well as small gifts they bought each other. Everything is looking up until their father got intoxicated and accidently burned their presents after opening up his, and using the lighter inside of it. Their father loses yet another job, and things tumble downwards. From people breaking into their house, touching the children, and just sleeping in the house. The big moment comes when

The high school on the reservation was so helpless that the books were as old as Junior’s parents! There were times when Junior’s breakfast was a gallon of orange flavor drink mix. The only Christmas gift he’d receive was a five dollar bill if he was even lucky. Living like this and to not give up like the rest made him a survivor. Junior’s sister had given up school, but once had a dream of writing romance novels. Along with Junior’s sister, Junior’s father and mother gave up way before she did. Everyone else on the reservation had given up since it was ultimately a death camp. Even the young teenagers had given up in school.

Climbing through the broken window and out onto the oak branch, she begins climbing down the tree with her mom right above her. Hitting the ground with a loud thud her dad falls the last 3 feet landing right beside her. "So where to now?" he asks. "Just follow me. I've got to pick up some more survival gear" Artemis answers back. "Wow, you sure did prepare in advance for this, didn't you hunny?" her mom automatically says being surprised at her daughter's preparedness. "Yep, sure did.We have almost everything we need besides a couple of items. But let's get away from here first before we get hurt or worse." Artemis tells her mom right as the rest of the house falls into the rapidly expanding

Everyone in this universe had probably heard and read this book, though that wouldn’t stop me from recommending it. The Sun Is Also a Star has a realistic heroine Natasha, she loves science and doesn’t believe in fate or whatsoever while we have a poet hero Daniel who is hopeless romantic. Isn’t that an intriguing dynamic? You will root for them. I also love that the story is threaded with important topic that is relevant more than ever, immigration.

Mia takes readers on a captivating journey, trying to navigate the ups and downs of middle school while simultaneously trying to deal with her sick cat and her newly diagnosed synesthesia. Wendy Mass has written a whole host of other books as well, all of which have relatable characters and captivating themes. Although none of the characters are quite the same, and none of the themes are completely synonymous, they all share the same basic trait: connecting with readers. One such book is Every Soul a Star. The book has three main protagonists: Ally, a girl who has lived with her family on an isolated campground, Bree, a tween who has grand plans to be a supermodel, and Jack, a middle school student who is failing his science class. They all meet on Ally’s campground to watch a rare solar eclipse, and in the process change each other’s lives as well as their own. One of the major themes of the book is that friendships can form in unlikely places. Many of Mass’ books have a similar theme to this, although no two are in the exact same circumstances. Even though the theme is not exactly the same as in A Mango-Shaped Space, they are both very moving, very influential

Jack gets invited to do an experiment at Moon Shadow camp with his science teacher Mr. Silver to get out of summer school. Then Ally and her family are preparing for over 1,000 visitors for the

Life, in the physical sense, is nothing more than a precursor to the true life that some of us may experience after death. This is the message that Samuel Butler conveys in “How to Make the Best of Life”. He succeeds in conveying this message through his use of rhetorical questions, analogies, and by presenting the counter argument to his views. Butler’s use of rhetorical questions such as “Which does the question contemplate–the life we know, or the life which others may know, but which we know not?” and “Can Shakespeare be said to have begun his true life till a hundred years or so after he was dead and buried?”

Carlos Wallace’s book, “Life is not Complicated, You Are” is an extraordinary digital narrative. It is a very meaningful piece of work. He has written this book during an emotional point of life due to the loss of his mother and father after they passed away. From this, he came to the state of realization about life. He acknowledged different ways an individual can choose to take in order to keep moving forward with the intention of creating a better life. Nevertheless, Wallace emphasized on progress. He believes motivation builds during the progress phase as a person is achieving his or her goals. One way he kept moving forward is by a supportive family. He often referred back to his mother, father, and his grandfather. The main role models

Some realistic fiction books are contemporary fiction books that take place in the present time and portray attitudes and mores of the present culture. Stargirl fits into the realistic fiction genre because it is including events that could possibly happen in real life. These real events bring a sense of magic, but that magic is not magic at all – it is a greater awareness of one’s life and surroundings through meditation. Stargirl bring to light the real problem that many children face in school – peer pressure to fit in, to conform to a certain standard. Many children, especially those becoming teens, can relate to the pressure to fit it and the loneliness that they feel when they do not fit

Throughout my life, I have faced many challenges and obstacles that stood in my way. No matter the magnitude or even if there seemed to be no way possible, I always try and find a way. Every challenge that I have faced always required my maximum effort and was followed by success or failure, but this one is different. This is a challenge that I would have never in my life saw coming, this was a challenge where there was no succeeding or failing, but overall it made me a completely different person.

In life, we all go through challenges and it’s either we face them or walk away from it. Growing up, people will always have different ways of handling things that happens in their life. We can’t know what could happen and how we handle it because life is unexpected. As I see it is that if you tend to keep making the same mistakes, you’ll never get passed your past and if you learn from all of your mistakes, you can move forward with your life. Everyone has faced their challenges in their own way and not everything in life will be easy because I can tell you right now that no one’s life is perfect. Everyone has their flaws, but they're perfect in their own way possible.
