I am currently reading Diary of a wimpy kid: Rodrick Rules. The author is jeff kinney. The book is like me in some ways when i was in 5th grade every one use to pick one me, but now they don't. Im currently on page 156. I enjoy this book alot because i like the way it is formed and how it makes u laugh.
The book I am currently reading is "Bully" by Paul Langan, I am on page 93. The main idea of the story is about a teenager who makes a big move from Pennsylvania to California. This story relates to me a lot because I moved from Pennsylvania to Florida. He moves from his place that he calls home, and so did I. PA was my home and I had all my friends there and I knew everyone. He is currently going through the same situation that I went through.
Awilson,
I like the bluford high books because they tell you how things happen
@ awashington2, that was very thoughtful but could have been more explained on why it related to you.
I am currently reading The Last Song my Nicolas Sparks. I am on page 426. There is one similarity, her father has cancer and is dying and my grandpa had cancer and died from it. Even though I was a lot younger I still remember how I felt. I know she must have been devestated especially since she finally talked with her father after 3 years and this happens. I wish I had more similarities but when I am older, like her. I wish I could have Will.
awashington2
I am so sorry that people did that to you. But its good that the book makes you laugh.
awilson2
I moved from Miami to Stuart then from Stuart to Gainesville. I know how it feels to move. Also my bestfriend moved from PA to FL.
I am reading Framed. The author is Gordon Korman. The book and my life have the same connection. Wev'e both been framed. So no we have to prove we are innocent.
The book "Bully" sounds like a good book.
My book is The Outsiders. The author is S.E. Hinton. I'm curently on page 15. I have a connection with the main carachter because he is a trouble maker just like me. He also would do anything for his family just like me
I am currently reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks and I'm on page 140. A connection I can make is with the main character Ronnie, who wants to be somewhere other than she is now, which is kind of like me, I'd much rather be at the beach than in school. I can relate to her little brother Jonah also because he turns against his sister a lot and knows many of her secrets. Also I am like Ronnie because some people annoy me very easily and I can get super agrevated. But it's been a great book so far!
Spena6: I'm reading that book too, and I'm sorry about your grand father!
Awilson22: That sounds like a great book, and ugh I would hate to move.
I just finished Witch and Wizard #1 by James Patterson it was 312 pages. I read it in 11 hours so yay! But with one of the main characters is Wisly she is 15 and has an older brother, who trys to protect her from everything exactly like my brother. This book is very back and forth between two peoples point of veiw so it keeps you on your toes. But the book is really very good and I am looking forward to start reading the second book this afternoon.
the book i am currently reading is called zombie valentine.I dont think thatr zombies conect with my real life but he dose like liek the zombie girl so i can relate to the liking someone.im o9n page like 20 and it is going pretty well right now he finds out that shes a mind reader too :o
Iam currently reading the book catch this. The author is Terrell Owens ~Stephen Singular I am currently on page well im done.
How the book relates to my life now is as a young child terrell states that kids picked on him when he was younger. He also stated that he had a cockey brother etc.... and that all kind of ties in with my life.
I currently finished reading the book, Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen. It was 212 pages long. This book reminds me of the time I was in 5th grade and i used to always get really good grades. In this book Julianna is very smart and is referred as the "teacher's pet". In elementary school, all my teachers loved me and I was a great student. Julianna is normally the first to get her work done correctly and normally the first one to figure out the answer to a problem. I remember in my math class in 5th grade we were all doing this math problem and I had gotten a different answer from everybody else including the teacher. In the end the person with the right answer was me because the teacher forgot an extra step and ended up getting it wrong while I got it right.This book was really good and I enjoyed it.
jdennis5:
How where you framed??
Thia book sounds cool.
Jdewitt6:
That's a great book.
Title: Ride the Wind
Author: Lucia St. Clair Robson
Page: 225
In Ride the Wind, Naduah has to go through a lot of different trials. She is thrust into a different culture without warning. This is like my life in, I have no clue what could possibly happen next. Things could take a turn for the worse, but later I realize that it actually benefited me and made me a better person for it.
Awilson2,
That's really cool that you can relate to the book in such a similar way.
pdixon6,
Your book sounds interesting, I'm the older sibling so I can't relate to the book as well, but it seems like an enjoyable read
I am currently reading Warriors:Power of Three:Sunrise by Erin Hunter and on page 200. I have not discovered a situation that relates to my life in my book but there is a character I can relate to. Jayfeather. I am easily hurt emotionaly. I am not blind. I seem to have this odd interest in medicine and health. I am an outcast. I can be very witty sometimes. I am not a very caring person but I am polite. I have just noticed that someone has discovered us and is trolling. Avast ye troll! Get ye dirty arts of me vessel! Or feel the wrath of meh blade yeh scallywag!
Irealized in my book that i have a really close relationship with my guy friend to. And i am currently reading fallen and i am on page 156.
I am currently reading Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. I am currently on page 149. A connection that I have with this book is that our families have both gone through some troubled times when we need God alot. I am really enjoying this book alot!
Anonymouse what was the point in that song and it was completly inappropriate.
@ spena6, thanks for sharing that with me, its nice to know that someone feels the same way I do.
SPENA6
HOW OLD WAS SHE WHEN SHE MOVED
spena6,
Im sorry... I hope everything goes well!
Well in the Yearling jody got the fawn that his dad had shot its mother to keep the rattle snake bite from killing him so fast. He is keeping the fawn and feeading it. He is doing a lot of the work his dad would be doing before he had been biten. His father is healing but is still questionable if he will be back to normal. I am on page 236 and the author is Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
I am currently reading "Soul Surfer" by Bethany Hamilton. Im currently on the last page. The book connects to me in some ways. For instance Bethany is a strong and brave person every since the shark attack,thats like me brave and strong.
I am currently reading The Dead And The Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I am on page 305. I have once been in New York before and I can put myself within the book. The images that this book forms is haunting.
EMOODY6
I agree with you about not know what will happen next that kinda with everyone:)
AWILSON2
That sound like a good book and it dose realate to you alot...it hard to find a book that like UNLESS you poze of of it and move to PA and then move to CALI tyhen that would be alot like you:)
ADDING TO MINE!!!!!!!!!
He like tihs girl (sercritly) and he follows her into the woods.Then a girl that he hates find him and say zombines dont live in cave vampires do.....
I just got finished reading In His Hand by:Latasha Holcy. We are alike in many ways, like having a baby at an early age,having problems at home, we both persavered and kept going even when times got hard. I really enjoyed reading this book.
I am done reading Godless by Pete Hautmen.I can relate to it because I'm non religious and people think I'm weird.I really enjoyed this book and liked the ending.
I read diary of a wimpy kid and I liked it.
I like how Awilison2 related that story to her life.
I am currently reading Tears Of A Tiger. The author is Sharon M. Draper. The book is like me because when I got a friend in trouble and they were hurt I felt very bad and I couldn't forgive my self. This is what happened in the book. I am currently on page 85. This is a very good bok so far.
awashington2, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is sucha a hilarious book. Personally I think that the movie is better and even funnier.
jdennis5, I think you could have explained more of why you book relates to you.
lmartinez5,
I love that book. Are you enjoying it?
@ Jdewitt6- I love that book. I think you explained the book very thoughfully and you explained why you conected with the character Ronnie. Nice job.
I am currently reading Dogsong. The authour is Gary Paulsen. The book is like me because me and Russel are both 13 and we are both going through a hard time. I enjoy it when he goes into the wilderness with the dogsHe is trying to bring back thold way of life.
zphillips5,
that book is really good and you are trouble maker
Imartinez5
I've read that book and the movie is really good but the shark attack looked soo fake.
pdixon6,
i dint know you had an older brother. I didnt he protected you either but the book sounds really good
I am reading the book Confessions of a Shopaholic and I have finished it. The connection I have with the character is that she loves to shop and so do I. I don't shop as much as her or spend as much money as her. But i still love to shop. Also, she has a big immagintion and so do I, but my imagaination isn't as big as her.
SPena6
Everyone is reading that book!
Is it good?
I am currently reading Travel Team. The auther of my book is Mike Lupica. This book is like me in some way because in the book the dad wants his son to be the best. Also the dad is kind of push in a way.I'm currently on page 23. I enjoy this book alot because it is about sports and I love to play sports.
@zphillips5
I read that book last year. Do you like it so far?
@spena6,
I have seen a lot of people who are reading that book! Do you like it?
awashington Diary of a wimpy kid sounds like a good book and i could relate to it to because I used to get picked on.
Well smasingil5 I do have an older brother I acctually have 2 older brothers I am the youngest and only girl but both of my brothers always have and always will protect me from anything same as the older brother from my book. Siblings always protect each other no matter what the cost. You should know that being you are an older brother yourself.
EMoody6 I agree nobody ever really knows whats going to happen next but that is what makes life fun and interesting for everyone. Don't you think so?
I am currently reading Harry Potter book #4 ,by J.K Rowling. I'm reading it because this is my fifth book since blog number two. I am on page 229 and this is only my second day reading.
AWashington2 good book it's awesome.
SPena6 haven't read it but I'm sure I will.
@A-wilson I read that book when I was in 4th grade
I am currently reading the 5th book in the Pretty Little Lairs it is called Wicked. In the book one of the main charecters 'A' or Mona you just dies she has been DIATRIBING the girls for a really long time. I am at a action scene in my book and also a very scary part it is a part where my charecter is tring to be killed. I am in love with the book so far I am on page 45 and chapter 4 I am still satisfiyed with the book. My life can not truley relate to what they are going through but it can in a way see there point of veiw. One of the reasons I love reading the book is because ot gives you there point of veiw for example..."I just wish I could call Mona. She used to be my bestfriend, who am I going to call for fashion help or for any boy drama? I miss her but should I because she was 'A'." - Hanna Marin from the book. It tells you there feelings and I like to be told instead of guessing.
I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling.(I finished my other book.)I am on page 29, and in the beginning of this book, there is a slight connection to my life. Draco's mother, Narcissa, is scared for her son. She wants to protect him and make sure he is safe. she goes to Severus Snape for help, and he agrees to watch over and/or help Draco. My mom tries to protect me like that sometimes, and whenever I go somewhere she tells the other adults to watch over me and make sure I'm safe. In a way, it's sort of the same.
Emoody6;
Is that the book that you were telling me about on the bus, where the girl gets kidnapped or something?
awashington2;
I love all of the Diary of a Wimpy kid books! They're fun to read, because a lot of people can relate.
the book I am currently reading is twilight by stephenie meyer. Since the book is fantasy it has nothing in common with my real life what so ever. The one thing that it has in common is the movie. The movie is utterly amazing. That and the love triangle are the two things it has in common with my life.
@Awilson2 i'm sorry that you had to move from your home I know it had to be difficult for you but cyou have some amazing friends here.
- addicted to twilight
@kwilliams2 it's okay because I do too.
I am currently reading "Hero" by Mike Lupica and I am on page 50. The main character of my book is Zach. He relates to me because his Dad dies in the book of what seems like an accident. This relates to me because A family member of mine just recently died but I know for a fact that it was from natural causes. Other than that the book does not relate to me what so ever
@spenia6
I know what that's like to have a grandparent dying of cancer and it's a bad experience
@pdixon6
I have heard about James Patterson and how good his books are and i think i'll read some of them
@crichardson i know we have most of the same guy friends
@ kwilliams2- It was nice to know you had a conection but you could have been more detailed, I love you girl.
I am reading Someone Like you by Sarah Dessen, on page 204. I connect to the the pregnant 16-year-old girl in my book because I watch "Teen Mom" and "16 and Pregnant" on MTV. These TV shows really show what the young girls have to go through at becoming pregnant at such a young age. Scarlett, the pregnant girl in my book, is having the normal sick symptoms of being pregenant, which she absolutely hates to deal with and never knew about before becoming pregnant. On top of having to deal with her Mom wanting adoption, even though Scarlett knows she's keeping the baby, she has to deal with the difficulty of losing her boyfriend and the father of the baby. This is exactly what happened to another girl named Farah on the show "Teen Mom". She lost her boyfriend Derk during the early stage of pregnancy though, while Scarlett lost Micheal the day after the baby was conceived. I can't imagine what it would be like going through this being only 16.
awilson2 true and i love you too but wat did you mean?
spena2, I'm sorry you had to go through that with your grandfather, but I like how you made the connection of the 2. And I like how you said, "I wish I had Will" because I do too!
astephens5, your book sounds really good! You sound like you really relate and like it! I might read it when I'm done witht he one I'm reading now.
@ Kwilliams2- I meant you should have talked about the book more and told how you related to the character. You should have also told us how he acts.
awilson2 i am related to my character in the book becuase we go through most of the same situations and daniel acts loving, caring, and protective.and did you mean dainel or my guy friends
@ Jdewitt6- Haha yeah its pretty good so far, i can relate to it a lot, and I know it does suck. :{
Im am currently reading summer ball by Mike Lupica. Im on page 69.A connection I have realized is that this was his first summer at a basketball camp. This summer i went to a basketball camp too. danny the main character always finds the best in things so is very optimistic and im also kind of optimistic.
@ kwilliams- I dont know, i meant like the main character.
My new book is called This Book Isn't Fat It's Fabulous.By Nina Beck.This book is somewhat like me because this girl is comftorable in her own skin. And she is so funny, just like me. I am on page 145. I already feel like i'm going to enjoy this book because the girl has problems like any average girl.
@ EMoody6- Yeah im glad that I found a book that I can really enjoy and have similarities with.
Awilison2: I have to agree the Bluford High series has to be my second favorite book.
@ LBAGLEY6- Yeah iI guess it would.
:}
Lbagley6: Zombie valentine seems like a really good book. I have to agree i can relate to boys liking me.
@ hpeel2- Yeah it was pretty cool, I just picked the book out and had no clue it reall realated to me.
I am reading the book Storm Catchers, by Tim Bowler, and I am currently on page 146. In the book, Fin tries to find Ella by using a pendulum made of her strand of hair and a ring. I am like him because whenever I loose something, I try everything, even if it mades no sense. When I was in 5th grade, someboby stole my bike. I tried looking in the bushes too small for my bike to be in. In the end, I never found my bike.
@ crichardson2- Thank you for that, and yeah it was VERY hard for me having to leave everyone, and yeah i do have some great friends here too. :}
zphillps5,
We read that book last year in Ms Wellmans. It was really good but it was also really sad.
Jdewitt6,
I love that movie! Is the book just like the movie?
The book I was reading is Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman. I finished the book and it was fantastic. A connection I discovered between my book and my life is that I have seen a movie called, what a girl wants, that was just like this except in the movie the school is not an all boy school. Also, in the book she does a few different things different about herself that the girl in the movie does.
I agree with awashington2. I have had lots of laughs for the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid.I also love the way its formed in a diary structer.
The book im reading is still: Sherlock Homes and the Baker Street Irregulars. The book is illistrated by Tracy Mack & Michael Citrin. The page im on is 184 chapter 21. At first i really could not connect with this book, but it got interesting and it made me think being a detective must have been hard. THis book reminds of the movie sherlock holmes and the staring chracter Robert Downy jr.. Cant wait to finish this book.
My book relates to me. Because I am a diver in training. I have went on a cruise were I went on a beginners diving course. It’s really cool to be 60 feet under the water but there are things that could freak some people out down there. Like sharks, darkness, a lot of ways to die, like coming up to fast, going to deep down, running out of air, getting trapped in a cave.
awashington2; i read that book and i loved it. have you read all the series????
spena6: im sorry about your grandfather that must have sucked. The only advice i can think of is keep your head up and keep moving foward. :)
I am reading Flipped by Wendalin Van Draanen, and I am on page 145. In the book, Juli Baker has her own special sicamore tree that she loves to go in. It is miles high and she feels like she can see the whole world when she's at the top of it. She even wakes up early in the morning to see the sunrise from it. One day the owner of the lot decides to cut the tree down and she refuses to come out of it. But the tree is eventually cut down. She is upset and cries for weeks. I feel like I can relate because sometimes the things I love get taken away from me. Those kinds of things are irreplaceable.
My book is The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and I'm on page 103. A connection that I have with this story is that up until I was eight I was in catholic school, I did not really now what public school kids wore or what they liked to do. I had never heard of Lady Gaga and rap music till I went to public school. Bod has never really known what it’s like outside of the graveyard. Which I can totally relate to completely.
I am currently reading " Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" By J.K. Rowling. I am on page 92. I can relate most to Hermione Granger because the first obvious one, she is a girl!! Also, she is very smart and she really wanted a cat, so with her birthday money she bought a cat. I wish i could get a cat with my birthday money, but i can't grr. But anyway,she can find a solution to anu problem right there on the spot and she is always taking notes in class. Snape also dispises her. She is probably smarter than him!! Haha! I am usually taking notes and i am smart i guess.....
potterfreak
I am currently reading Hoot, by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 44. This book can be connected to my life because the main character Roy is just a regular, geeky, middle school boy. Like me! He has also moved around and is used to being the new kid. I have only moved once in my life, but I do know that being the new kid is no fun.
jdennis5, i tink you could have put more information about why the main character and you are realted in life.
potterfreak
Awilson2
I can realte also, i moved from califorina to tennesse then to gainesville.
jhouston6, that is like you!!!! HAHA!!
potterfreak
lbagley6
that seems like an awesome book to read!
@JHuston6..I read that book and it is extremley good. Are you liking it so far? I hope because that is an amazing book and it is really funny at some points.
abeatty, what book are you reading who is the author and what page are you on? THAT IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!
PDixon6
I think it's cool that you mention how your brother protects you, most people don't even admit that.
The book I’m reading is the woods by Harlan Coben and I’m on page 403. This book is like a time in my life when i hadent seen my brother or my sister in at least 6 years. It was hard knowing they were out there and i just hadent met them yet. But in my book paul copeland doesnt have his sister because she was supposivly murdered. But now he is unwinding what really happened and she might be alive after so long. So now that i have met my siblings mybe he will find his sister after all.
Scnadon6, that's almost the same thing that happened to me!
Tgarrison2, do you know of any other books Gary Paulsen has written? That name sounds familiar...
I am, as of current, reading Firestar's Quest by Erin Hunter. In this book, Firestar has to rebuild an old Clan, and encounters many challenges along the way; including losing a friend. In my own situation, I have lost a dear friend of mine due to a Go-Kart accident; which is also connected to the story because the death was totally out of the blue, and that it wasn't meant to happen. In the book, Rainfur dies because of a battle with rats, which was completely unexpected. The same thing happened with an old friend of mine.
@awashing2
If it helps, I was picked on in the fifth grade aswell. xD
@AWilson2
Back when I was around two years old, I moved from South Carolina to Tampa. And recently I moved from Tampa to Gainesville, if that has any connection. :3
@spena6 so sorry for you hope you feel better.
crichardson2, i love the twilight series i think you should look into reading the whole series.
zphillips5, the outsiders is a great book.
The book Iam currently reading is Overboard. The author is Elizabeth Fama. I am on page 84 on this book. I can relate to this book because of her feeling while she is in the water, she is scared and wondering if her parents realize that she is gone yet. So if I was in this situation i would feel the same.
awashington2, i also read that book and i thought it was funny
Awilson2 yes it is always a problem when you move to a new place because you dont know anyone we went throught that problem together
I have just finished reading Alibi Jr. High by Greg Logsted. This book relates to me because Cody is a 13 year old middle schooler and faces all the drama of middle school just like my friends and I. This book is a great book and I can't wait to start my mini project!!
I was reading Lord of the Flies, but it was kind of confusing so I switched to The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. I just started and I am on page 22. This book is very mysterious and makes me want to keep reading. I think it relates to my life because there is a curious little girl who wonders about everything. I think I relate to that character because I am somewhat curious.
Tgarrison2
I was about to read that book!!! And I love that author.
Spena6
I am so sorry about what happened to your grandfather!!!!!! And I hope you get Will. :)
Ebayer6, Your description really fits you well, and that sounds like a really interesting book hope your enjoying it.
Abeatty5, Your description of how your book relates to you was good, but what is the name and author of your book. I might want to read it someday.
I am currently reading the book the Black Duck by Janet Taylor Lisle. I am on page 182. In this book,the main characters, who are best friends are fighting, just because there parents are. This relates to my life because this has happened many times, just because i was influenced by my parents. I can't wait to finish this book because its such a mystery!
Awilson that's cool how you moved from the same place as the main character in the book.
Spena6 and Jdewitt6,did you guys plan to read the same book, and Sachi sorry about your grandpa!
astine2
I read The Half-Blood Prince last year and it was a really good book, I really hope you enjoy it.
awashington2, that is one of my favorite books. I hope you enjoy it. I'm looking forward to your presentation.
Awilson2, the main characer in your book is similar to you in alot of ways. How did you find that kind of a book?
I am currently reading Schooled, by Gordon Korman. I am on page number 205. One connection that I have found between this book and my life is it shows a close representation of things that happen in real middle schools, like Fort Clarke. For example, it's shows how bullying occurs on the way people look. Another example shows all different cliques/groups that are in middle schools like Fort Clarke.
@spena6 That sounds like a very sad book.
@scnadon6 That must have been a hard experience to have to transfer to a public school.
My book is Halo:The Flood, by William C. Dietz. It is a science fiction book based on the award winning Halo videogame franchise. The book tells the story of a hero and his fellow soldiers fighting to survive in a strange world. The connection this has with my life is how as an eighth grader, i am starting to develop myself to better survive in the world as an adult. Along the way we all encounter hardships that challenge us with new situations that help us to better ourselves and those around us. The same can be said for most other people.
awashington2, your post fits the assignment but could be expanded to provide a better result.
dmedyk6, nice work on a strong response. sounds like a good book.
The book that I'm reading is Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli and I have just finished the book. I can relate to the main character because for one he is around my age. He is also going through changes and growing up. I also relate to him because I like science a lot too. He likes astronomy and I think it's interesting too.
Astephens5,
That sounds like a really good book, I may read it one day!
dgillespie5,
That book sounds good!
The book I'm reading is Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings. I am currently done with the book. I've discovered a very realistic connection. This book may be able to connect to everyone because it's a about tough decisions and all of us have had a few before. However I doubt many have had such serious choices.
@ Awashington2
can you be more specific of how it's like you?
@Spena6
I'm so sorry for your loss :(
My book is Jason's Gold by Will Hobbs. I Just Finished the book and it was really hard to put down. One of the connections is that he is very determined. Even in harsh times he doesn't stop trying to reach his goals. Over the book he struggles to make it through the harsh winter. Although it was hard on him he never stopped.
@ jdewitt omg i love that book (kaijons) voice.
@SJun2 Yeah sometimes i find myself to be like that. Sometimes i have a strong connection to my belongings even if they are small things and won't stop looking for them.
Even though i couldn't really make any relations to that book either, I think it'd be cool to be in Sherlock Holmes shoes. I liked the movie so that probably will encourage me to read this book.
twilson2 the main character in your book sounds really perserverant.
awahington2 i have read that book before and the rest of the series but that one is one of my favorites.
I am reading A Time To Kill, by John Grisham. I'm on page 201. I have realized that in my book there is a girl that gets raped and beaten by two strangers. In the real world, that seems to be happening a lot. And it's weird how realistic the book seems to be, just like the real world.
twillson2,
I might read that book if it is as good as you say it is.
npegg2
that is really ironic.
In my book, Peeled boy Joan Bauer, I am on page 160. A connection between my current book and my life, is that in this book many things are being said that are decieving people. In my life, or the world I currently live in, the media is decieving people, trying to make them believe things that arent's true. Both in the book and in real life the media tries to decieve people to make them see their point of view as correct, and it doesn't seem to be making people very happy. This book is pretty good, I'm almost done and interested to see what happens at the end of the book.
jdennis5, how were you framed?
snetherland5, I saw that movie! Was the book the same as the movie at all or was it a lot different?
I am reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling; I am currently on page two hundred and seven. So far in the book, Harry has played quidditch through pouring rain and in the worst circumstances that you can think of. He's practiced his heart out with his team in the early morning. Meanwhile, he's still worrying in the back of his mind about Voldemort, his worst enemy and Sirius Black, an escaped prisoner supposedly searching for him. I am like this, but with my flute. I will practice even when I'm running a fever; have a virus, or having a horrible day. I'll practice and practice, sick or healthy, happy or sad, scared or safe.
awashington2, I agree, I loved how it made you laugh, how it was formed and how you could relate to it, too. Even though, I don't believe any of us were teased as much as that kid was.
jdeihl6, I agree, it would be really difficult to try and relate to that series. Also, it seems like a very interesting and fun series that never bores you.
The book I am reading is "Among the Hidden ". The author of my book is Margaret P. Haddix. I'm on page 153.The connections I see between this book and my life are the number of siblings. Also scared of trying new things because of thinking I would fail.
Scottr5, I also enjoy sport books. It's great to read books that you find entertaining!
Bhoffmann2,I agree the media is always making up things so you would think the worst about someone. You can't always believe what you read because it's not always true.
The book I am currently reading is "Runaway" by Wendelin Van Draanen, I am on page 267. I could find one connection between the main character and me. For example, when Holly(the main character) felt something is wrong or felt bed/good about something, she always wrote a journal and got a strength to solve the situation. And I wright something when I feel confusing about the situation which I have.I think that is the connection of between Holly and me.
Except this, I couldn't find connection between this book and me, but I really felt pity about Holly's life story.
awashington2, I've read that book before and it was fun. I'm sorry taht people did that to you.
crichardson2,I've read all kind of twilight series and it was amazing. I also watched in movies, but I think the book is much better than movies.
The book that i am reading right now is Hoot. I can relate to this book because when i was growing up i moved alot because my dad was in the military. i also like the way the author makes me laugh at some of the stuff he says.
Im got done reading Why We Do What We Do by Elizabeth Hall.I can relate to the author of this book because i am interested in phsycology. i like it because she talked about alot of different experiments that were done to test out theories about phsycology.
I was reading Twisted, by Sara Sheppard, a book from the Pretty Little Liars series. I can relate to the book because like Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily, I lost a dear friend as well. Not through death, but I have lost friends before and just like the four girls, it was a rough time in my past, and it can still be hard.
sbogue2,
I love that book and the two shows. :) I really feel like Scarlett handled the whole situation, with having a baby at such a young age, having a mother that pressures her to give the baby up for adoption and losing Michael in a motorcycle crash, really well. She had her best friend Halley around and I feel like Halley helped alot! I hope you liked MY book! ;)
jdewitt6,
that's a great book! Ronnie is such a cool character to learn about, I love it and the movie. I like the connections that you made with the book! Haha, love ya!
The book I'm reading is "The Boy Who Dared", about a young boy in Nazi Germany. I am currently on page 68. I can identfy with Helmuth, because he is my age and I also stay home a lot. I have stong feelings about what is right and wrong. I would have questioned my government if I lived in Germany at that time.
@ Slaw5
That sounds like the same author of "Runaway" I would like to read "Fliped", it sounds good.
I am reading the book Schooled, the author is Gordon Korman and I am on page 208 which is done with the book. A connection in my life with this book is the bullying issue I see people at school getting bullied by other people and messed with beyond belief. Also in the book there is a boy named Capricorn Anderson and his nick name is cap, and he knows nothing about the real world. All he knows is what he learned at the hippie farm of his with his grandmother at Garland. So he is bullied non stop.
@Awashington2 I loved that book too and it was really funny.
@Jdennis5 Hey we have the same authors for our books and you probably could have added a bit more to your answer.
awilson2 sounds like a good book.
spena6 is the last song book as good as the movie and i lived in stuart too its a nice place
The book I'm reading now is Nothing to Fear by Jakie French Koller.The protagonist Daniel Tomas Garvey was kinda like me two years ago cause my dad left to go to college to earn more money while my mom stayed and did what she normally does. In the book his dad also leaves but he doesn't come back. And his mom is kinda pale when he leaves. I have already finished the book. I enjoyed the book cause it forms on a journal entry sort of.
@awashington2
The book is very good I read all the books cause of how entertaining it was.
@zphillips5
Thatt book is also good I won't tell you the ending though its a seceret.
