I Am The Messenger
As I started reading your book I Am Messenger, I found myself drawn into the theme. As I read further into your book I admired it even more. As I love fantasy books, I adore real life situation books just as much and maybe a little more. Your book isn't just the “defectless” reality, instead shows that not everyone’s life is undemanding. I Am the Messenger made me question myself.

After reading your book, I began to realize that things aren’t always as they appear. It makes you question what genuinely happens in people's lives. They may look delighted on the outside, but what's truly going on in the inside? I used to believe my friend’s life was exceptional. She had the clothes, the family,the house, and even horses. Nevertheless,

    For my 1st quarter book report I read “Beyond Belief” which is written by Josh Hamilton. Hamilton is a Major league baseball player who now plays for the Texas Rangers and was named MVP two short season’s ago. Josh is a premier center fielder and the captain of his team, for the average person you may think Mr.Hamiliton lives the ordinary life of a sports star , the pretty women , fancy cars , huge house’s and the six figure pay checks. Even though this may be true, living an everyday lifestyle was extremely difficult for Josh throughout his whole life , you would think someone who is so well respected and idolized by many fans throughout the world would try to live up to his expectations, but that was not the case for Josh , he was addicted to cocaine and struggled with many other addictions such as alcoholism and having anger issues with his loved ones. Josh wrote this book to express his feelings and give readers a point of view on how thing’s may not also be the same as it seems. So next time you judge someone just by their appearance, financial situation or even idolizing someone just by the way they perform a certain thing, you might want to think that over.…

    As I started reading this book I couldn’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu. Why were the thoughts and ideas being shared so familiar? Then I realized something, much like the author’s recollection of what his grandmother said. Many of these ideas were things that I had heard from my parents when I was growing up. I cannot count the number of times my father has encouraged me to be myself and true to myself and follow the right path regardless of the adversities that might come my way. Or the number of times my mother has asked me to see others as I would want them to see me and accept others for who they are. After all there is a reason why everyone isn’t alike, it would be real boring if you were to turn around and all you’d see were reflections of yourself.…

    Sunny Side Up Book Review

    • 331 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Your book Sunny Side Up was a great book. I enjoyed it a lot. This book has taught me the hardships of having a brother that has an addiction to alcohol, but to still somehow stay happy. My favorite part of the book is when Sunny went to Disney World. Sunny was not so excited when she found out that she was going to visit her grandpa in Florida. The upside to that was that Disney World was in Florida, so she was hoping that her grandpa would take her before she left. She ended up finding out that Disney was around two hours from where she was at. This made her sad. A few days before she left, her grandpa had told her that they were going to Disney World. Now she was super excited about this. She went…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting.

    The life that Charolette and I were living was probably so much better than his conditions were. We had everything we needed, a small home, one large bed, food for her and I, and a fireplace to keep us warm. Even though I was living well, I felt incomplete. I felt so alone, without Henry there. I tried my hardest to focus on now, but my mind was always going somewhere else.…

    Jake Luklly's Short Story

    • 1009 Words
    • 5 Pages

    I noticed how abandoned the farm was. It needs much work. Jake told me about his parent’s death. And how now I am the only family he has. I knew what I had to do. Jake was responsible for the outside and I had to tend to the house. We unloaded the wagon and walked up to the house. It was way bigger then my parent’s home. This house can have fit three of them inside of it. Jake told me it was built in the finest wood that was available in his town. When the doors and windows were open the house came to life. Dust flew with the gust of wind that came in. As a married lady I was the woman of my own house now. It’s my job to make this home for my husband and me. Jake went out to tend to the yards and animals. And I started repairing the house. I like candles in the rooms to burn most of the dust smell. The sun just wasn’t doing its job today. I heated water in a pan to scrub the walls and floors. After all the dust was gone, I heated more water and gathered all the fabrics to clean them. When I was hanging the fabrics on the line I watch Jake feed the horses he looked so busy. Once the house was done I went out to his mothers garden. It needed much help also. I gathered all the vegetables that were ready. Pulled up the weeds that have grown over the time it was not tended to. Golfers poked their heads out, curious with whom was out in their garden. I was on edge, I was afraid of snakes and if there were weeds mice and golfers there…

    Your novella, Anthem, was a real perception-onset for me. It made me apprehend that it is not always bad to oppose with what other people consider. The novella also made me understand that if you don’t consider what others do you will probably get resolved for it, but you just have to stay robust through the hard times. Life is hard and it is seldom not fair. It can hurt sometimes, but if you focus on what is within your power to change for the better, you can and you will. If you have confidence in what you believe you can get through even the toughest times, although it will not be simple, you can get through it as long as you stay strong.…

    Wherever I go, things just fall apart. I’ve had issues with stress and friendship, and on top of all of that, I’m a hopeless romantic. I know things will never be like in the fairytales, but I’m a born dreamer. When I read your book, I could feel everything happening. I felt the sickening crunch of bones when Violet kicked someone, Lincoln’s blood pounding with anger when Violet was with Phoenix, and the complete heartbreak that overcame Phoenix when he sacrificed himself for the girl he loved but could never have. I became the book. I was so deep under the glassy surface of fantasy and terror that I didn’t notice…

    Jacket Rough Draft

    So I went outside and hopped onto the fence to stare at the valley, then I hopped back down to play with my dog and before I knew it my dog had ripped a tear into it and just like that the jacket was ruined. So I was somewhat happy but what I had forgotten was that I had to go to school with that ugly jacket, because mom didn’t want me ruining it the first week. So I did and before I knew it, my friends were making fun of me, or so I thought. Even the nice girls wouldn’t talk to me, but that’s maybe not the reason. So maybe I should try and play something to get my mind off it, but what I knew was the jacket was still on and it would stay on for the rest of the week. But with a bunch of anger he knew in his head that he had another jacket after all. That other jacket was so nice that he couldn’t stop thinking of it, his teacher had to wake him up from daydreaming so much. But then just like that the week was over and he rushed home, threw on the jacket and right away, faster than a cheetah he flew out the front door off to school, and straight away when he got to school, he became the most popular kid…

    I learned to see the other side of these children the more I interacted with them. I watched their jubilant, excited faces as they turned the pages to see the next story and stared at the pictures. I laughed with them at their small successes, overjoyed that I had been a part of helping them develop and mature. It was amusing, watching them as they would stumble over a math problem, but when they finally understood, would look up at me with glowing faces. Their insatiable love of learning, intellectual curiosity, and enthusiasm during reading time has inspired and motivated me to try new ventures with optimism. Jasper especially has taught me the power that comes from learning to understand a person no matter how irritating or intimidating he/she may be. If we can only be willing to open our heart and mind and listen, our small acts can do indeed do great deeds; so that these children may grow up to be people who will one day be able to change society as I hope to do so in the…

    Daliance Reflection

    • 155 Words
    • 1 Page

    I’m writing my first book called Dalliance. For those who don’t know, dalliance means a casual involvement with something and that something for me is life. Well, for all of us really. Life is meant to be casual and not to be so serious. But, despite our efforts, life is serious. We have so many things to worry about, finances, the future, relationships, wars, famines, droughts, the list could go on. This book isn’t about that. This book is about things that I have learned in my brief and short time living. This is a positive book that is meant to remind everyone that sometimes it is okay to laugh at our mistakes, because mistakes lead us to something greater. Mistakes lead us away from what we weren’t meant to do, they lead us down a greater…

    Throughout the story, I was drawn to the personality of Allete, a gifted artist and a pretty young woman but extremely shy and soft-spoken. During my childhood years, my lack of self-confidence prevented me to achieve the things that I might have been. That although people see the potential in me, I was so inferior that I never believed in myself. I was inclined in arts and writing, but my inability to “show-off” and inferiority complex didn’t allow me to develop such skills.…
