“Center Field” The book I'm reviewing is "Center Field" by Robert Lipsyte. The book is about a kid named Mike Semak. Mike is a star center fielder for his high school baseball team. His life was going great.
Although there are a few parts i did not like. Sometimes her use of description was a bit of a bad thing. For example the ending did seem a bit unfair and unfinished. they told about events but never tells what happens
Like when Janina and Misha were hiding from the Jackboots, I never wanted to stop reading so I could find out what happened. Overall, this book was great and it taught me alot about what people were feeling throughout this horrible
The only thing I didn 't like about the book was how it was written. I think it would be way better if it was written as a story in 1st person about there life and not how it was written. The book didn 't really make me think differently about things because I know what I think about slavery and no one can change my mind
Have you participated in a group activity? These group activities are environments where many unique people can share similarities with their peers. Old Dan and Little Ann, two of Billy’s dogs in Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, have different appearances and different ways of approaching conflict. Despite these differences, they both share loyal personalities. First of all, Old Dan and Little Ann have very different appearances.
Half of the events that happened in the book, showed courage. When people show courage in the book, it amazes me. Just to see all those people take up for each other is awesome. And i wish we had more of that today. The characters i’m going to be talking about were brave, and amazing people.
My favorite part of the book was that Hole in my life is a true story which makes the farfetched events plenty more exciting. I enjoyed the ending because he finally got what he wanted, to write. The ending gave a sense of fulfilment and it was very satisfying. My favorite part would be when he was in the drug industry, the entire time he was on edge, the story became very suspenseful and edgy. I would recommend this book to everyone, The book is exciting and a real page turner to say the least.
Partly because of how she flawlessly set up the plot of the novel with multiple different viewpoints. The multiple first person viewpoints make this novel excellent, because it never becomes boring, gives the reader more information, and helps with the development of the characters. Her plot was perfect, and she used plenty of similes and metaphors, along with her cliffhangers, making the perfect
As Foster claims, geography is a setting that defines a character or plot. In Wilson Rawls, Where the Red Fern Grows the story would not have happened if it weren't for the setting. Billy Colman is a young boy that lives in northeastern Oklahoma deep in the Ozark Mountains. Billy wants two hunting dogs which he ends up buying him self and grows extremely attached to them. If Billy had lived in a big city he would not have been so obsessed with hunting and the plot of the story would be very different.
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
Unwind by Neal Shusterman -a New York Times Bestselling Author of The Schwa Was Here- is an interesting read. It’s about a boy, Connor, whose parents want to have him unwound. Unwinding is when a person between the age thirteen and eighteen is cut apart, but is still alive; these parts are given to people in need of a new body part. The novel covers Connor’s journey as he runs from the police to avoid being cut apart by the government. This book has many things to like, things to dislike, and connections to discover, although in my opinion few would enjoy it.
It is a great love story only enhanced by the outlandish characters and constant mockery. The pacing of the novel is slow at first until half way through the first volume. The plot then accelerates and by the third volume it is hard to put down. Characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady De Bourgh were all hysterical caricatures meant that livened up the novel during times when the plot was thin. The novel would not have been as cohesive or interesting without characters to add comic relief.
One of my favorite things about this book is that it is based on a true crime and at the end of the book there is the kid’s poem about Christopher which is very touching. The book had many good parts to it. The only thing I didn’t like about this is that it actually was based on a true story, and it’s sad to learn that the nice kid was murdered. Another favorite part of mine was when Doc, Hunger, Mildred, Squib and Hazel went on a mission to dump a barrel of animal poop on a guy’s car, which Doc and Hunger did all the work and they even dumped some inside the car. “Now, let’s shake it.
So, imagine my pleasant surprise that I felt after reading the novel. I liked it because the cheesiness was kept to a minimum, but also, I enjoyed how different characters narrated different sections so we could get a full picture of everything that was going
Stuck by Oliver Jeffers was published 2011 it is one of many wonderful story books for children that is both written and illustrated by the author alone it is a pure fantasy children’s book and written in a prose format. The story begins to talk about a young boy named Floyd whose kite gets stuck onto a tree then it leads the readers into a humor field journey and shares through Floyd’s point of view his determination and struggle to solve a dilemma before he is caught by an adult. The book is an enjoyable story to read to any children in the age group of 4-6 years old because although the story is filled with quirky humor and colorful illustrations it also contains certain vocabulary and complex sentences that might cause a child that is age 0-3 to lose interest in the story quickly since they are not yet able to focus specifically on certain ideas or may be frustrated by the length of the story.
