Hush, Hush

            In the book Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, the main character Nora is having suspicions about her biology partner, Patch, and she has all the reason to. Patch has been a very dangerous person, or at least  seemed very sketchy. But in the end of the book Patch seems to end up the"good guy." This is an example of not judging a book by its cover.
            For example in the book, the main character is at first very what it seems like scared of Patch. For example in the book it says" That guy gives me the creeps,need to ice him out he could be dangerous,with his clothes,and don't even get me started about the hair." this shows that just by judging someone by their appearance you can come up with this whole big idea about something that is not even true.
            In the end of the book it turns out to be the boy that Nora thought was sweet and had a crush on that tried to kill her. As you can see you cant always judge a book by its cover because often you could be very wrong. 

We'll Always Have Summer

            In the book We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han, the main character Belly is torn between two guys. One is named Jeremiah and the other is named Conrad, they are brothers. Belly and Jeremiah get engaged after Belly's first year of collage. Both there families do not approve, especially Conrad, who after two years is still in love with Belly. Belly is not a strong character, and lets her whole lives be run by boys.

            One way that Belly lets her life be run by boys is how she doesn't care if this wedding ruins her entire life, she just wants to be married to a boy she's not sure she's in love with. For example Belly's mom who she is incredibly close to does not approve of this wedding. But Belly goes against everything her mom says, moves out and plows through like its a race, leaving her whole family behind in the dust.

            The last example that Belly lets her life be run by boys is how after everything that Belly put her family through she decides that she doesn't want to marry Jeremiah, she wants to merry Conrad, therefore having to put her family through double the stress.  

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

                  In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian the main character Junior faces bullying in the face of discrimination. For example in the book The True Diary it says "Because my "kind" were potential killers most people steered clear of me except for an few words thrown at me as I walked by" As you can see people at Juniors school are scared of him even though they know nothing about him. they just think that all Indians are violent  and  mean.

                  In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian the main character Junior faces bullying in the face of discrimination. For example in the book The True Diary it says "

"How do you make a beautiful white girl to fall in love with me?"

"Well buddy," he would have said,"The first thing you have to do is change the way you look, the way you talk and the way you walk."" As you can see Junior is facing discrimination even through out his own community.For example Rowdy, Juniors old best friend actually said that. Rowdy was making fun of the way Junior looks even though he knows that Junior had had some medical issues that made him look that way. This is a big deal because before Junior left the rez, Rowdy would never talk that way to Junior.

                   In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian the main character Junior faces bullying in the face of discrimination. For example in the book The True Diary  when Junior corrects the teacher, the teacher insists that the answer is wrong because Junior learned it on the rez and not at a regular school, but then when the teacher asked this kid Gordy who was the smartest kid in the class, Junior turns out to be right. But then in stead of thanking Junior for the right answer he thanks Gordy. As you can see even the teachers were in a way bulling Junior because they thought that what he could have possibly learned on the rez was not even close to right.

From Bad to Cursed

In the book From Bad to Cursed by Katie Alender the main character Alexis, is a very interesting character. She had so many different traits it was hard to write about just one, in fact it was even hard to think about one. So using the techniques we learned in class I wrote a list of different traits I found while reading.

Dialogue 

Alexis really cares about her sister but she's also kind of scared of her. For example when Alexis and and her sister Kasey, are out in the woods and they see this shadow creeping up on them, Alexis automatically thing that it's something that Kasey is doing to try to hurt her even though Kasey was standing right next to her just as scared as she was. But as I had said before, Alexis does love Kasey. For example in the book From Bad to Cursed  it says " I do want you to be happy, I just want whats best for you." Alexis really does care but she might only be super nice to Kasey because she's scared.

Action

At first Alexis was really scared about what happened to her after she pledged an oath to Aralt, but her actions show that she's starting to like it. For example, after Alexis had a bad day she really didn't like what she looked like. She called Lydia and Lydia turned her into a completely different person. And the when Carter didn't like the change Alexis made Aralt make sure that he did by taking over his soul. As you can see, Alexis actually likes the privileges she gets when she puts her faith in Aralt.

The Face On The Milk Carton

                    I just finished reading this intriguing book called The Face On The Milk Carton by Caroline b. Cooney.  In this book the main character Janie sees a face on a milk carton she's drinking and she realizes that the face is her face. When she confronts her parents about it, they tell her the cold hard truth. Her parents are actually her grandparents and how it might be a possibility that her mother did kidnap her. Janie has a lot of strong relationships in this book that really help her.

                   One of Janie's strong relationships is with her boyfriend Reeve. Though Reeve was a part of Janie's life before the book started, their relationship really grew through out the book. In the beginning of the book Janie and Reeve were good friends but reeve was older and always thought of her like a little sister. For example in the book The Face On The Milk Carton it says "Come on tell Uncle Reeve, your like my little sister, come on little Janie." As you can see Janie and Reeve are close but not in the way that she wants.
                    But then in the middle of the book Janie and Reeve relationship really grows. For example in the book The Face On The Milk Carton it says "He grabbed her waist and swung her around, then stood very still and kissed her."As you can see Janie and Reeves relationship grows fast but he also stops thinking of her as a little sister.
                    In conclusion the fact that Janie's relationship grew so fast helped her a lot through out the book because Reeve was there for her when she needed him.
