    Out of my mind by Sharon M Draper Out of my mind is a very interesting novel by Sharon M Draper, the book was published in 2010 by the Athenaeum book for young readers, the recommended age for this novel would be for 10 and up and I’m sure many adults would enjoy this book as well as young readers.

    Number the Stars is a very touching, interesting, and realistic book. In other words, I liked it very, very, very much. It taught me a lot about the German occupation during World War II, especially in Denmark. I had learned before in school about how the Nazis mistreated Jews, tortured them, and even killed them in concentration camps. By reading Number the Stars, I learned even more about normal Danish citizens and how their daily lives were affected by the war. Specifically, the book helped me understand what it was like for all citizens, including non-Jews, to live in countries where German occupation existed; they lived in constant fear. Lois Lowry’s writing was easy to read and so understandable that it made the whole story, and the history, come alive. This book deals with sensitive topics of friendship, parenting, sense of community and service. It also made me think about duty, courage and sacrifice. Therefore, I say again what I already said before: that I loved Number the Stars a lot and would recommend it highly!!!…

    In The Embers and the Stars by Kohák the intersection of time and eternity is expressed. Kohák has focused on "natural" time, which is to say that time is not just what is expressed by a clock, or with a series of numbers on a clock. "It is, rather, set within the matrix of nature's rhythm which establishes personal yet non-arbitrary reference points." This means that time is not measured in seconds, minutes, or hours but by personal existence and experience. These "reference points" are experiences in your life that are meaningful and you help spatially distinguish points in time. Time as we know it is explained by Kohák as a "construct imposed upon nature's rhythm, subordination and ordering it". He does say that it is a useful construct, but as for the theory of relativity time does not hold up.…

    The book is basically about the end of the world and about surviving in the galaxy. I liked the book a lot although I don’t usually read any books. I Think this was one of the best if not the best book I’ve read. The book itself was short enough and it was nice to read. But, also sometimes it was really a challenge to get the picture about what is happening. There were a few odd words too.…
