As a freshman in highschool, I had never heard of Jane Harper, or read any of her books before this. My English teacher challenged me to pick up a book and read it. Instantly, the cover caught my eye. The book looked like a very compelling novel, so I decided to read it. It just came out in September of 2016, so it is a very new book.
As the reader progresses into the book, he/she gradually gets more interested
Reading Response How do the last chapters make you feel? Recently, I started reading a book called Ghost Messages by Jacqueline Guest, and I have just finished it. In my opinion, the genre of this book would be mystery, fantasy, and historical fiction.
First Feelings: 1. What interests you so far…. or deters you from reading? This book interests me over all.
It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and

Mr. Bowe developed a fondness for reading at a young age and felt it important to encourage such an appreciation in his students. By having his students read novels that explored diversified views of the world he believed that he was encouraging a love for reading while also encouraging open minds. One novel in particular, As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, presents students with a challenge to think critically while broadening their understanding of the world as a whole. This opportunity to see his students grow is why this is his favorite novel to

In my book, The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, the ending did not turn out at all the way I had anticipated. Considering the book is the first in a series of four, the ending was designed to set up for the next book and it did that in a way that I couldn't have seen coming. That being said, I never really had a desired ending. The book was filled with so many new twists and turns and unexpected plot twists that I felt as if I could never hope for one concrete thing because there could be something in the next chapter that could change the whole course of the book. While I do believe books can contribute to your understanding of the world, this one did not for me.
In George Martin’s book, Game of Thrones, and in HBO’s version Game of Thrones, there are many similarities that avid readers and T.V connoisseur are conscious of. A few to name are, character’s name and characteristics, plots, settings and dialogs. Although these are prominent similarities, there are also major and minor differences that are between these two. From my stance of having watched the television show first, the events that were different from the television show to the book stood out to me the most. An event in particular that stood out was an event with Joffrey and Sansa that was written in the book, but was an event that the television series failed to include.
The most exciting time to live in Vermont is mid-February. This is the time when one is given the privilege of a 30-minute walk to school in sub-zero temperatures, with a 30-minute trudge home in the dark after a long day. It’s been four months since winter began, and it’ll be two more until it’s over. The firewood is being rationed to keep the house at a barely livable temperature, a steamy 50 degrees, and colds are so rampant that people lose half their body weight in phlegm each day. Yet, however dull Vermont may seem to students and teachers as they wrap themselves in layer after layer of flannel, make no mistake, today is the beginning of an era.
English 102 Reflection During the course of English 102, I took this year of the spring semester. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were impossible. I have not only grown as a writer and a student but as an individual as well. I feel that through my experience of this English course, I have achieved knowledge and self-confidence to step out into the real world.
