Blog1-Quarter 4 Letters To My Mother Teresa Cardenas

The book I am reading is called Letters To My Mother Teresa Cardenas. The  book is about a young girl who mother died and she writes her mom notes and she's really young and she lives with a family that I would say the family treats her as their own but they also don't treat her as she's a stray.  But she feels as if they are only taking care of her so they don't feel bad about everything she is going through. She misses her mom and she just starting to get the feeling she's going to be alone for a long time.
A character trait the main character has is she's is really positive. I think she is positive because she always thinks about why spend your whole life being sad? I also like how she stays positive through out everything. There is many reasons why she could be sad and just mad at the world but she always finds a way to get a good look of everything, even with her mom dying.

Blog 8- Middle School Is Worst Than Meatloaf

The book I just finished reading is called " Middle School Is Worse Than Meatloaf" the overall book was about Ginny ( the main character) doesn't like school so she write a to do list for middle school and everything she has to do on the to do list is the opposite of what happens. Her dad died in a car accident and her neighbor is going to ask her mom to marry her. She has so many things on her mind that she can't handle all the stress. Her grandpa writes her letters with money. Something that keeps her positive is her count down to spring.
Something I like about the book is the way the other of events happen. For an example, when Ginny gets a letter from her neighbor asking to marry her mom, the author says creative like words to express how she feels and what's she's thinking. In the book In the book Ginny was writing a note and the author makes it as she is being sarcastic, it says, "Im sure if we follow these rules we will all get alone like a family". This shows that she feels like if they respect and have rules for each other they will get alone.A connection I have with her is, school is not for me sometimes. But the only difference is she doesn't know how to cope with the things that come up pond her.

Blog 7- Middle School Is Worst Than Meatloaf

The book I just started reading is called Middle School Is Worst Than Meatloaf. The main character are Ginny who is just starting middle school. Ginny is a shy young girl who hates middle school. I know this because when everyone was making friends on the first day of school she just thought of negative things about everyone and didn't talk to no one.Its actually the beginning of the year. She has no friends and she just doesn't like the thought of school. She tries to get threw 7th grade with the list of things she knows and been warned about, but however, it doesn't work out the way she planned. It seemed like to her after everything was happening everyone found out sooner or later, so it would be hard for her to make friends.

Something I like about the book is, the sense of humor and the details the arthur says when she's having a bad day or how she feels. I could relate to Ginny because when I fist started school I didn't like it, I had a bad idea and feeling about it. The only differences between me and Ginny are she faced way more obstacles than I did in 7th grade. I think if Ginny gives school and chance and actually try she would have fun and learn a lot.

Blog 6- Someone To Love Me

I finished the book Someone To Love Me! It was a really good book. It was mainly about this boy and girl in a relationship and they were having troubles because the boy in the relationship was beating on Cindy the girl in the relationship. At the end of the book Cindy makes a choose that will may be change her life. The mood in the book changes by how the author describes how Cindy or Booby feels or actions. Sometimes if the chapter is feeling sad the author wants you to feel the same way so he may change the tone of mood to sad or depressing. 
I feel as if she really loved him would she wonder sometimes "If he really loved me would he hurt me?" Sometimes love makes you do crazy things, I understand but if you really love him/her you couldn't do any crazy to hurt that person. In the last chapter Cindy has to make a choose and she's scared so she goes to someone she has never went to for edvice of help. Her mom. Only 3 people know that Booby hits her so her mom doesn't know. Should she tell her mom? She's not sure neither. 

Blog 5- Someone To Love Me

The book Someone To Love Me is about this girl Cindy and this boy Booby. There in a relationship and Booby hits and beats on Cindy. Only a few people know and by few I mean like 3 people. The 3 people to me are not good friends because they don't do nothing bout it but tell her that things will get better. They know how much she loves him but still if she's there friend she is getting hurt they should tell someone and be more worried than they really are. Her and her mom don't have that good of a relationship neither.
In chapter 6 they break up because Cindy was tried of everything he was putting her threw. Booby knows the right things to say to get back with Cindy because it wasn't there first time breaking up. So Booby made her feel like she mean the world to her and he saying he would never do this or do that ever again to her. So Cindy believe him and got back together with him. Like a week after they get back together things start to happen again he starts to hit her again and call her names. Something else happens.

Blog 4- SomeOne To Love Me

The book I just started reading is SomeOne To Love Me. Its about a boy and a girl who are in a relationship and they are so happy with each other . Everyone calls them cute and everything but know one knows the boy in the relationship starts drinking and doing drugs,  and as he stats to drink and do different kinds of drugs, he let's them take over his relationship and he starts to get physical with her. He hits her, he tells her mean things. But she doesn't leave him because she loves him to much. She tells 3 of her best friends but of course they want her to not stay with him but she tells them how much he makes her happy and how much she loves him. But they still don't understand.

Something I like about this hook is when there's a cause the author puts something before the effect happens. For an example say he starts drinking again (cause ) , the author will bring up something that happened days ago, than he will say the effect. The main conflict in the story is that every time he gets drunk or high he does these things he will not remember and regret the next day. I honestly think he doesn't mean to hurt her but when someone dos drugs they let them get the best of them.

Blog 2- Birmingham 1963

The book I am reading is called Birimnham 1963. These group of high schoolers took place in the march because they saw how bad the whites were treating the blacks so they felt as if they go to jail for standing up for what they believe ( civil rights) they wouldn't have a anything to lose. I really like this book because the Author taught the readers no matter if your young or old there's going to be people who stand up fore what they believe even if it puts there life in danger they want the best for everyone so there going to do what ever has to be done.

Some questions I have for the Author is where there white students who felt the need to help? Another question I have for the Author is if a white student did the part in the march will they get in trouble or treated the same way as the blacks?
