Book Review: Awake By Natasha Preston
Book Review
What kinds of genres are the most interesting? Is it horror, romance, action, paranormal or maybe it is a genre that I didn't list. Either way, if you find that young adult and mystery is your cup of tea, then maybe Awake by Natasha Preston may be the perfect book for you. The main character is Scarlett. She is a normal 16-year-old girl who is in high school (lives in the UK). Although she may live a normal life and have a normal family, there is one thing that may not be classified as normal. She cannot remember anything before the age of four. A new student named Noah transfers into to the school and they began to get close.

    Unbroken By Laura Hillenbrand

    In 2010, Laura Hillenbrand released a brilliant tribute to a resilient national hero, Louis “Louie” Zamperini, whose story was not widely known at the time. Fast forward four years and this tribute, Unbroken, has been made into a major motion picture and the remarkable story of the Olympian-turned-soldier has reached the masses. In the book Unbroken, which I read shortly after it was released, Hillenbrand chronicles Zamperini’s epic and, at times, terrifying odyssey. Raised in California, he was the son of Italian immigrants.…

    The Leaving By Tara Alterbrando

    In the book The Leaving, I think the author, Tara Alterbrando, was trying to get the point across not to trust everyone you meet and to be aware of your surroundings. In this book, 6 kindergarteners were abducted and only 5 of them returned 11 years later with no memory of what happened to them. It turns out that their principal along with a scientist took them and tried to erase their memory of a school shooting. The experiment ended up lasting longer than expected and they had to keep the kids for 11 more years. People shouldn’t have trusted the principal and should’ve been paying more attention and been aware of the kids.…

    Unbroken By Laura Hillenbrand

    The movie Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand depicts a clear description of the experiences and struggles that those who fought in it had to endured. Timely, it also shows the effect of WWII on the relationships between different ethnicities and races as people found something in common with those they once considered as outcast of their social network. However it also created the opposite effect in which it divided people and placed them to fight against each other for a cause they themselves did not hold; it teared down relationships and friendships . Unbroken shows the changes of WII on the attitudes we had towards those who surround us, whether it was to our countrymen, immigrants or international individuals.

    Female Protagonists In Kate Chopin's The Awakening

    Many individuals believe that we live in a perfect environment, without violence or prejudice. A group of people who call themselves feminists argue that a significant amount of the population, women, are treated as men’s tools. To fight back this ideal, people write stories with female protagonists who challenge the social norms, one example being Kate Chopin’s The Awakening. The novella gives life to the motherly Adele Ratignolle, the unconventional Reisz, and the stubborn protagonist Edna Pontellier. Mrs. Pontellier is a rebellious woman trapped in a strict culture who finds freedom during her vacation in Grand Isle. As a result, she decides to obtain her individuality with radical actions that reflect modern feminist ideals that are essential in a feminist literature.…

    The Memory Keeper's Daughter

    The book I decided to read was The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards. I chosed this book because it demonstrated real life situations, teaching us lessons that 9th graders can use in their later future while creating fascinating storyline to keep the story entertaining.

    Review: I Wants to Go to Prose (Suzanne B. Jordan)

    Review: I Wants to Go to Prose (Suzanne B. Jordan)

    In "I wants to go to the prose" (1995), Suzanne B. Jordan emphasizes that a teacher's duty is to help the students in their studies but whether teachers should help students with their personal problems is controversial. In other words, students should not come up to the teachers telling their personal problems so that the teacher, being merciful, excuses them or be a little more considerate when grading their papers. This is like using emotional intelligence ( emotional black mailing etc.) on teachers, which tends to descend them from their basic responsibility; which is to teach and to evaluate all students equally. In her article, Jordan gives a lot of support for this; specifically, a girl, Marylou Simmons, pops by Jordan's office requesting her to give her a D or an incomplete on the course instead of failing her, for she was having troubles with her boyfriend. By means of bringing personal issue into the discussion, Marylou was trying to gain sympathy from the teacher. In this case, if the teacher helps her, it would be unfair to all the other students ethically. In essence, Jordan claims that students should not use their personal problems as an excuse for their poor performance, and in turn should not expect some sort of differential treatment from the teachers in the form of going easy with the grading and asking for mercy and forgiveness in some case.…
