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.
To begin with, the book Speak starts with a girl named Melinda who has just started high school after a terrible summer. Two factors that shape Melinda’s identity are her friends and family.

At every stage in her life, at every turning event, the symbolism used unabashedly puts out her feelings.

Joy Harjo is an American poet, musician, playwright, and author. She served as the 23rd Poet Laureate and is the first Native American to hold that honor. Joy Harjo’s poem “Perhaps the World Ends Here” is a powerful reflection of the significance of everyday moments and the role of the kitchen table in our lives.

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
The main character of the novel is Melinda Sordino. Melinda is a sarcastic teenager who has just arrived at Merryweather High.

She hates school because of her lack of friends and the way people make fun of her. Things get worse for her when her father disappears and rumors start appearing around the city.
Two landmarks events that changed the history of the world War has always been a part of human life and part of the growth of every country in the world. Some countries fight to reach independence, some do it to expand its power and control over other countries and some others just fight because their inhabitants cannot reach an agreement peacefully as regards political, economic or ideological issues. Two of the most brutal wars in the world were World War I and World War II which occurred from 1914 to 1918 and 1939 to 1945 respectively. The First World War (or WWI) and the Second World war(or WWII) were two of the largest military conflicts in human history that were marked by involvement of the prevailing world powers of the day. They were two major armed conflicts as both of them involved military alliances between different groups of countries.
