Biffle's Text Message For Ttyl
Ttyl by Lauren Myracle is about three best friends who share their highs and lows of their Sophomore year together through text messages. One of the three girls who is named Angel, via text message referred to as Snow Angel, is a bright and bubbly girl who reflects most of her time thinking about boys. Another girl named Maddie or as mad Maddie via text messages is brave and spends most of her time trying to change her life, so Jana, the “queen bee” who attends their school, can be out of her life and school. The last girl is named Zoe, or via text message known as Zoe girl, is responsible when it comes to school, life, or religion, but is concentrated about her teacher, Mr. H in affectionate ways which are wrong because he is nine years older than her and he is her teacher. During the beginning of the book, Angela goes through a phase where she thinks that she is in love with a boy …show more content…
The book showed different scenarios that normal sophomores could go through and how to deal with the problem, even if it is a bad decision. Not only did it show how to deal with life situations, but the book also showed you have to fix them next time and do better. It also teaches how to maintain a friendship through a rough high school year which features a lot of drama. It shows how strong friendship can be, and no matter what happens to one another, one always needs to be there to support his/her friends and have their backs. The book was an easy read that showed one a storyline of a relatable concept that gave signs to look out for such as friends who leave a person alone in a car while they make one break the law or when the same friend forced Maddie consume a drink at a party that tastes odd. I enjoyed the book, but I felt like the foul language was unnecessary, and I also feel like they should take it out because more people need to read this book while not being cautious of it being

    I feel like I have been doing a very good job meeting, creating, and keeping friends. I think that may have to do with the fact that my husband is in the military and I have to meet new friends all the time (although, now I have friends all over the country, and they are absolutely amazing)! I do think that the book had some great points, though, one being about self-worth and identity. It is hard sometimes keeping up with all of the lifestyle changes in life, so that part of the book gave me some relief. Identity is not written in stone!…

    The Outsiders Summary

    • 588 Words
    • 3 Pages

    It contains very strong theme about dysfunctional family, use of drugs and crime. I guess the board of education was afraid that the students will imitate the events in the book. However, I understand why they decided to re-allow it in schools. The author, who wrote this book around our age really wanted to deliver that we can all live together in peace and conflict only bring more conflict. Although the family in the Outsiders wasn’t the best family you could ask for, they had so much love inside them they didn’t actually portray to each other. They just didn’t know the right way to express it. I would rate this book 4/5 because of the effectiveness of the author trying to deliver her message in a coherent manner. I highly recommend all teenagers to read this book. Overall, I think this compelling story will grasp even the most reluctant readers thanks to the deep bond of sympathy. There is also a movie “The Outsiders”, although I happen to feel that it fails to deliver the strong message as realistic and in sequence as the…

    My opinion that this book was a little sad because Kevin (also known as Freak) had a disease that made him stop growing at three feet so he had to wear metal leg braces and crutches. Also in the beginning Max was a bully because in the beginning of the story Max was called Kicker because whoever touched him Max will hurt that person by punching and kicking him/her. The book also talks a lot about friendship and trust because when Freak and Max first saw each it was only for one afternoon and that afternoon they barely talked to each other but once years have passed, some how Freak moved next to Max’s emptied neighbors house (the only reason the house was empty because the old neighbor was still in jail) So after Freak got out…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

Freak the Mighty really shows how people can persevere in any situation. All you need in life is a good friend and a story to tell. All in all, I loved this…

    One interesting idea that I learned from this novel is that you can't ever spend enough or too much time with anyone. You're supposed to live your life surrounded with people that can make your life fun and interesting. You are not always going to be with that person, so enjoy as much possible with that person. Never be mad at that person for that time is being lost for a simple error someone made.…

    Many of the concepts relate to psychology, and the fact that these kids are in the stage of adolescence. First off, one of the main concepts that I saw in this movie is that all of the kids showed the use of “false selves.” This is where an adolescent tell lies about themselves that they want people to believe so they think better of themselves, because “the other kids will never find out.” They lie a lot about their background and many other things such as their virginities which is a major thing in younger kids’ lives that decides whether they are a “prude” or a “slut.” Another concept that I saw, is the influence of peer pressure. These kids went through a lot of peer pressure in this movie including when the kids were talking about themselves, and wanting to know things about each other. One example is when the other kids, mainly Allison, pressures Claire to tell the others about her virginity. The final concept that I saw in this movie is the presence of a need for social acceptance. Many of these kids try to impress the others by telling lies and trying to act cool, whether it is John being a jerk to all the other kids, or Andrew bringing John to the ground to act cool. All of the kids somehow displayed their need for social acceptance. Overall I thought that this movie was a great…

    Reflecting back on the issues that the teens were dealing with, it definitely makes the text book become more alive. Although I cannot relate to the teenagers family life, I can relate to the violence and gang activity. Majority of the students in the movie lived in the “projects” with a lack of parental supervision. Some of the students parents/siblings were in prison, for crimes that they personally committed or someone they were with committed. It is sad to say that those teenagers became a product of their environment. They were living in what they considered a war. They really did not have a choice to not become involved in criminal acts because that is all that surrounded them. For them it was either stay connected to their own kind, or be killed. This is extremely sad but that is the society that we live in.…
