The Prince By Kiera Cass

503 Words3 Pages

For our book review project we read the book The Prince by Kiera Cass. In our opinion the book was good, but we would probably give the book 4 stars because it wasn't as exciting as the selection. The publisher of The Prince is Harper teen. It was published on February 4, 2014 in New York and New Zealand. Cass is a graduate from Radford University. She currently lives in Blacksburg, Virginia. She has approximately kissed 14 boys in her life, although, none of them were princes. She wasn't as lucky as America. Kiera Cass has a very unique word choice and brings her writing to life with the amazing detail she provides. Kiera Cass who has a very sophisticated writing style brings out the characters emotion in the story. The story goes through Maxons thoughts about the selection and what he is thinking about the girls. On page 50, line 6-7, Cass shows this with a hyperbole, “These girls were already turning me into a puddle of stupid.” In this story, Kass adds a natural tone to her writing. For example, on page 62, line 15-17, it says,"There was a certain . . . royal air she didn’t seem to possess, though there was, perhaps, something regal in her pride." …show more content…

“And attractive.” Yes! “And thoughtful.” YES! I was grinning, looking like an idiot, I’m sure, so pleased she managed to see something positive in me after last night.” That in one of the parts we thought was very cute. What we also thought was cute was when MAxon was trying to understand girls. On page 50 line 4, “...apparently I was convinced this all hung on picking out the right tie. I sighed.” This was about the selection he thought the girls would like him if he picked out the right

So I Ain T No Good Girl By Sharon Flakes

404 Words | 2 Pages

In the story “So I ain’t no Good Girl “written by Sharon Flakes. I felt like the scene was very realistic, the characters made the scene very realistic by the way they were acting. The author described the scene pretty good when she said: “if I scream at him the whole street could hear me”. I can also relate to the scene in my everyday life. A boy and his girlfriend where at a bus stop with some other girls, And Raheem starts to act a little flirter with the good girls who made his girlfriend kind of upset about the situation, so she tries to talk about it, but he got mad at her and ended up making out with the good girl.

The Two Princes Of Calabar By Randy Sparks

1083 Words | 5 Pages

Two Princes of Calabar The Two Princes of Calabar written by Randy Sparks is a very intriguing book that gives a look into Atlantic history from the accounts of two men from a slave trading family (Ancona Robin-John and Ephraim Robin-John). These two men were captured and sold into slavery from their homeland, Old Calabar. Randy Sparks does a great job of giving readers a more detailed look into the Atlantic World from events such as the middle passage. The Two Princes of Calabar makes a connection with another book I also read Africa in World History that gives information on that time period as well. The Two Princes of Calabar is very consistent and does an excellent job of giving readers details from events that occurred in the eighteenth
