Candy: Debut Albums and Joe
The girl at the station, the girl with the smile, the moment’s temptation to stay for a while. This book was a nice book. It could have ended a little better. Joe deserved to be with Candy after all that he had went through for her. Joe deserved better, and he didn’t get it. That’s the only bad part about this book, but overall awesome book.

My book was on Candy. A young teenage girl and boy who fell in love. Which happens all the time boy meets girl they both fall for one another, but who knew it would have happen like this. Candy was a 16 year old girl who met a 15 year old boy name Joe Beck. They met at a train station in downtown London. Joe was lost in the train station when Candy got his attention. Candy was trying to ask Joe if he needed help finding his way but, Joe was so lost in her beauty he didn’t answer her he just stared. Which kind of drove Candy away. She was flattered, but didn’t want things to become more awkward. Joe had caught up to Candy at the McDonalds and bought her lunch. Candy and Joe were talking when suddenly Candy’s face went cold. The person she feared the most had just walked into McDonalds, Iggy. Iggy was Candy’s pimp. Candy was a 16 year old prostitute. Of course, Joe, didn’t know, well at least not yet. After Iggy scared the mess out of Candy and Joe, Joe left Candy and went home. Joe was stuck on Candy. Love at first sight must be a true thing because Joe was in love. Joe was still in shock about what had happened. The way Candy went cold like that, the way she acted with Iggy, she didn’t look at him in the eye, kept her head down the whole time. Joe knew there was more to it, the just couldn’t press himself to believe that Candy was a prostitute and that Iggy was

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    I liked this book mainly because of how different it was compared to my lifestyle and how entertaining it was. Nikki turner didn’t really sugar coat much so I felt I was watching a movie and saw it for what it truly was. Like anyone’s guilty pleasure we all like reality television and it kind of reminded me of just that with fights and drama. The books good points that were how certain events that happen in one’s life good or bad really do shape a person into who they become. Teaching me to not be ashamed of what happens and to only use that circumstance as a motivation of some kind. For anyone that is interested in a gritty, suspenseful, and eye bulging book that keeps you wondering what’s next I would definably recommend this book to that someone willing to take a…

    Some of the redeeming qualities of this book are the true value of friendship, which is represented through all of the characters in this book. It also teaches us the importance of honesty. If Lucky was honest with Bridgette about her feelings instead of just running away, it would have saved her a lot of heartache, and the feelings of one of her best friends, Miles. This book also encourages the use of your imagination to decide what lucky’s higher power is, one of my favorite aspects of this book.…

    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.…

I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    In the book the parts that I like in the book are the best parts with all the detail and the story plot of things throughout the book. One thing I liked was on pages 346 and 347 because the suspense was crazy with everything that was going on with prims death. It made me not want to stop reading until I found out what was going on and it just kept me going and going to see what the whole story was. This was a very good thing in the book because I didn’t like most of the things in the book so this detail made it so that the book was kind of interesting. I love the parts that are in suspense because of the thrill it gives even though the thing that happened was very sad it still excites me for what is to come. There are many other suspenseful parts in the book this is just one example I wanted to give of the books many suspenseful parts. If the book didn’t have the suspense like it did I wouldn’t Another part in the book that I liked because of the twist in the story was on page 372 when Katniss is trying to kill president snow and so I don’t ruin it for you let’s just say it doesn’t end up like that. Someone else dies instead of president snow and now he knows that Katniss was trying to kill him and she can’t do anything about it. The twist is that she kills the other…

Mary is referred as a criminal and leaving her town after killing her husband .Crabbe’s mom is clueless on what is going on with his son’s life, his dad is rude and ungrateful. His family does not show much support to his son. He’s addicted to alcohol and telling young grade 9’s to drink and always constantly drinking and in need of it 24/7 is horrible. Crabbe has also left home and running away is showing bad decisions to the youth. It’s giving those ideas on what to do if they hate there family or get depressed.

    Sympathy for Candy

    You also feel sorry for him as he has had a terrible accident and has had his hand cut off “i aint much good with only one hand” this also creates sympathy as he himself is acknowledging that he isn’t of much use. It could also mean that no one around the ranch cares about his accident. This is sad as he was once a useful and now he is isolated from the rest because all the others are fit and healthy and he is crippled. He has low hopes until Lennie and George tell him about their plan.” 'Cause i ain't got no relatives nor nothing” this is another quote to make you sympathise for candy as it states that he has no family to leave money for so he can give the money to them to fulfil the “American dream” of George and Lennie. This is sad knowing what candy has been through and what he thinks of himself. Furthermore, another language device Steinbeck uses in the passage to present candy is adjectives. There are a variety of them used such as "reassures" and "safe" in order to describe candy's feelings. The fact that candy feels "safe"…
