Perks Of Being A Wallflower Report
Personally, I fell in love with " the perks of being a wallflower" I felt it truly understood how teenagers think and how it is to live with the pressures of school, family, and societal expectations. This book teaches people of every age to live life to the fullest from the tunnel scene to the production of "rocky horror picture show". It has inspired me to go out and find my own Sam and Patrick. I hope you will read this book and fall in love such as I

    I read the book what Happened to Cass McBride. It was a very good book that keeps you on your toes. What I liked most about it though was that you would never expect what happens in the end of the story. I also like that the main character who stayed strong through the whole book and it teaches people who read this, that just when you think it’s over, it’s really not. This is one of my favorite books that I have read.…

    Educating Esme Summary

    The book I chose was Educating Esme: Diary of a Teacher’s First Year by Esme Raji Codell. I chose this book because I honestly judged it from the title on the book review assignment page and found this to possibly be something that might help me in my journey into becoming a teacher. I found this book to very amusing and very touching. I thought that Esme's attitude and writing style was funny and easy to read and understand. One of my favorite stories in the book is the one when Esme made Billy Williams teach the class for a day because he was misbehaving. Esme threatened suspension to Billy for cursing and being disrespectful, so he accepted the punishment of teaching the class for the day instead of suspension. I thought it was great that he was able to mimic and recite specific lines that Esme used even though he didn’t always seem…

    Education is a crucial part of the decision making process that we use every day, whether it be something as simple as choosing what to wear or as complex as making life altering choices, one of which is date rape. If someone goes on a date that does not mean that they want to have sex with you, being on a date does not give you consent to have sex with the other individual. Because a person must give their verbal consent and they should have the choice whether or not they want to proceed with any act under their own will.…

    I chose the book Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder and illustrated by Garth Williams. This book was first published in 1932. I chose this book at random from my grandmother’s house over Thanksgiving. I knew that she had all of the books and my sister had used my grandmother’s collection to read them all when she was younger. I just chose the first book that I saw and I really lucked out because it looked interesting. I felt that I could not go wrong with any of the books because they are widely praised for being great reads. This was the first time that I was reading a book from the collection. I had been interested in other titles when I was younger so I never became interested in these books.…

    Throughout high school we have always been tasked with different materials to read; whether it be Shakespearean texts, short stories, poems, or just books in general. No matter what though, I love to read. So any text I take in, I am always eager to absorb the words. The texts I have read at the time may have just felt like assignments, but now as I am older, I can see the lessons to be learned within them and how they were a major aspect as to how I view situations in the world around me. I cannot pick a favorite text that I have read throughout my grades nine to twelve years, but I will review a few that made an impact on me.…

    By banning books, school administrators take away the right to choose what book a child or parent might want to read. Every parent has the right to guide his or her own child's reading, but no adult should have the right to tell other parents what their child may or may not read. "Far more Pasco kids will now read that book than ever would have read it if it had been assigned by their teachers," said Colete Bancroft, on the topic of a book, Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, being banned from Pasco County school libraries. She continues, "Making a chapter, or an entire book, forbidden fruit is a much more effective way to get kids to read it than making it homework.…
