The book I read was Finding Laura Buggs by Stanley Gordon West. The book centers around the main character; Sandy Meyer an insecure and curious high school senior at Central High school. Sandy Meyer is quite the likable character she is easily relatable to as she is a normal teenager with boy troubles and school affairs however she is searching for her biological parents. On the contrary she is quite cowardly but she later overcomes that which made me like her more.INSERT PERSON VS PERSON STUFF IG I believe this book should be required to be read due to the fact it has a very good lesson taught throughout it which is to never give up because you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it. Due to the fact that Sandy goes through the

I just finished reading Hound Dog True, by Linda Urban. The plot is about a girl named Mattie Breen. She is once the new girl at her new school in one week. I loved this book and how it analyzed all the parts of the plot and sequences of the story structure. The author is very good at structuring the story to flow along throughout the story even as the story changes from present to past generations.

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

In my favorite series, Red Rising, the main character is relatable and life-like. From the beginning of the trilogy, Darrow, the protagonist, is developed through his personality and actions, yet he is never predictable since he is constantly undergoing a metamorphosis. During the course of the novel, he is young and foolish, fights for love, and then evolves into a mature young adult who is willing to risk his life for the greater good of his people. Disappointingly in The Road, the characters are linear: the boy is kind and angelic while the man remains the guardian. Another novel that I really enjoy for the connection that I developed with the character is Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.

Prompt #2 The religion of the Incas and the Aztecs to me reflects the religion of Ancient Rome. All of these cultures viewed their emperor as a demigod, usually the son of the god of war, and it carries over into their numerous conquests of other nations around them. The Incas’ military forces were commanded by the son of the emperor. These sons would conquer neighboring tribes/kingdoms to appease Inti.

The book I chose to read for Unit 4 was the book, “Everything, Everything”, by Nicola Yoon. The book’s cast of characters is few, the main character who we’re seeing the world through is named Madeline Whittier, but she goes by Maddy for most of the book. The other protagonist besides Maddy is her neighbor, a boy named Olly, who Maddy finds interesting. The book has no clear antagonist, but the implied antagonist is Maddy’s mother, who prevents Maddy from going outside. Besides the three of them, there is also Carla, Maddy’s personal nurse, and Olly’s family, comprised of a sister, mother, and an abusive father.

I liked “Just another girl” from the get go. The book started out interesting and was so well written that I wanted to keep reading throughout the whole book. In the book I thought that I should look at my own life and analyze how I am living my everyday standards. I look up to Aster, how she concentrates on her demeanor and believes in herself. Like other teens her age, Aster does not focus on what others think of her, but what she thinks of herself.
