1 – 200 of 245 Newer› Newest»I am reading the lord of the flies by William Golding i am currently only on page 47
:(. I have not read the book enough to come up with a reasonable answer as to of what the theme of this book truly is but i can guess what events might occur. The theme could possibly be that human and natural law. Because the kids in the story are all savages that know how to become civilized but they simply are not. All in total this book is one of my favorites, The over lining theme should have something to do with the decisions that the main characters make and how there lifestyle effects them. The lesson learned and that will be learned is that no matter what stuff is going on, no matter the location, people, or time we are all human.
The book that I have finished reading is "Enders Game' by Orson Scott Card. The theme of the book is that you should never doubt someones ability. The reason that this is my theme is that during the book all of the other characters were always doubting what he could do. Ender proves all of them wrong when at the end of the book he is the one who is special and ends up saving the world. I really enjoyed this book and thought that the way the book was put together put a lot of meaning behind it
@zsbergman4 I read that book and really enjoyed it.
The book that I am currently reading, is called "My Life in Pink & Green" by Lisa Greenward, and in this book I am on page 39. The theme of this book would be, "A family that prays together, gets through their hards time together". I would say that would be a good theme for this book right now since Lucy's family are struggling with paying their bills. It would also be a good quote for Lucy too, because she helped her family get through it and they all helped each other.
Sounds like an inspiring book.@ Nbvance5
Sounds confusing, but it could be a good book. zsbergman4
My book is called “Zitface” by Emily Howse and I’m on page 23. So far, the theme in my book is “The way you look can affect your confidence.” This is the theme in my opinion because this girl named Emma just got her first pimple and hates herself now. Every time Emma looks in the mirror she says “Ewe, I’m so ugly. Then makes a disgusting sound that most girls makes when they see a pimple or acne all over there face.” Pg.11. Emma needs to learn that beauty is on the inside and it doesn’t matter about how good you look.
@zsbergman4 Great job.
@Nbvance5 I love your details.
I am currently reading Pretty Ugly by Karyn Langhorne Folan and I'm on page 25. The overall message of my book or theme is to treat others how you want to be treated. My character learned how to stand up for what she believes in. At first my character was apart of the group of girls who bullied kids who were different them.Then she realized that she didn't like how they were treating people so she decided not to be friends with therm no more.
@nbvance5 i heard enders was a good book haven't read it tho yet
@hhershkowitz1 interesting description
The book I am reading is The Siren by Kiera Cass and I am on page 23. The theme of this book is that you have to make some sacrifices to save those who you love. The character, Kathlen, learned that if she kills others, the other sirens will save her family. With her voice she can kill people on the boats. But she soon falls in love wit ha human, which she isn't aloud to.
jedwards2 seems like a common theme.
zsbergman4 seems interesting.
My book is Sit, Stay, Love by J.J Howard. I’m currently on page 33. The theme currently in my book is hold on to what you’ve got, because you never know when it will disappear. The character in my book, Cecilia, learns that if she can’t have the dog of her dreams she would set out to make it happen somehow. Only because a rude guy from her school is trying to adopt her bonded pooch.
jedwards2
I love that book!
lrepp4
That is a good theme to abide by.
I am reading Cure by Bethany Wiggins, I am on page 25. The theme of my book is leave no one behind. The character in my book, Jack, learns this when her brother goes missing. Her and her friend Fiona have to go find him despite the odds. They work together to look for Jack's brother and possible save him.
That sounds like a good book klynch4.
that is a good book nbvance5
I am reading Alex Rider Crocodile Tears by Anthony Horowitz and I'm on page 174. The Theme of this book is don't judge by what people do in front of people. At the start of page 42 Alex and Desmond meet during a charity party hosted by Desmond McCain. The charity is called First Aid after a nuclear chamber blew up killing many people and destroying homes and buildings. However when Alex rider was assigned by M16 to get information on someone who is most likely dangerous he had to go into hiding from possible terrorists/villains and the last possible villain that walked into the room was Desmond McCain on page 170. This tells me that Desmond is faking his niceness which also tells me that people do things away from other people that can change the way other people see them as.
zsbergman4-that is a good book
jiademarco6-that is a great book
I am reading Seeker by Elys Dayton and I am currently on page 289. I think one of the main themes of the story I am currently is that you should shoot for what you want to be. I say that because although the main protagonist is getting worn down from brutal practices and trials she still wants to become a seeker in the end. Another thing that supports that is her father mentioning that she always needs to keep pushing even when she cant. I learned that the theme was also this because the always use terms like confidence,determination,and they really use the word passion a lot as well.
zsbergman4
I agree on the theme of that story and good job on doing your blog.
hhershkowitz1
That sounds like an interesting book.
@NbVance5
Ender's Game sound like very popular book.
@zbergman4
I have heard that Lord of the Flies is a great thriller to read.
The book I'm currently reading is The Island of Dr. Libris by Chris Gravenstein and I'm on page 170. A theme that I have found so far is that everyone has an imagination because the main character is imagining most of the stuff that happens in the book. One time this happens is when the main character imagines Robin Hood in Sheerwood Forrest. This theme is good because it reminds to use your imagination, too. This is a similar theme to Curious George because Curious George imagines things before he does it.
@DBecker4 shooting for what you want to be is good.
@Nbvance5 I agree, you should never doubt someones ability because they might surprise you.
Sounds like a great book!@JFox4
Sounds great.@arobinso2
The book that I'm currently reading is The Scorch Trials by James Dasher and I'm on page 25. The theme of the book so far is probably gotta be don't give up. Like in the first book of the series the maze runner he never gave up and escape the maze. But now Thomas is not giving trying to find Teresa because they people in Wicked took her for some reason is he is trying to find why. He thinks that there is something weird going on inside there but he doesn't have a evidence to back it up.
@JFox4 Sounds like a good book and you have really read far.
@DBecker The theme makes that book sound like a good book
I am reading Travel Team by Mike Lupica and I am on page 56. The theme for this book is to never give up on what you want to do because of what you can’t do. That is what I learned from this book. The main character’s dad was an NBA player, who did not want his son to play basketball because of his size. But did his son give up? No he didn’t.
JFox4 love the book you are reading! Nice theme.
mdwaters1 love the Alex rider books! Cannot wait to read more!
I am currently reading 39 Clues 4 by Rick Roidan and i am on the 13th page. However, (I am not far enough in the book to recognize the theme(s). In result, I will be answering according to my previous book, 39 Clues 3.) One theme of this book is to take advice sometimes and listen to what others have to say. Don't get stuck with yourself and think you are always right. Sometimes another person's plan is better than yours. This is the theme I chose because Amy told Dan over the phone to not enter the museum until she gets their. But because Dan though he could without her, he was not able to talk the guard into letting him in the valuable room and he got arrested.
@mbradford4
Mike Lupica is an author that is in my top 5 authors.
-Dan Gutman
-Jeff Kinney
-Rick Roidan
-Mike Lupica
-Fred Quimby
@ale2
I have read that book before. I hope you like it.
I am reading the book Calamity by Brandon Sanderson and I am on page 159. I would say the theme is don't put your trust to heavily on someone. I would say this because the main character trusts Prof and then Prof betrays him and kills other people. Also, the lady Regalia lets Prof rely on her and then turns him evil. This causes him to betray the main character, and so on and so forth. Mainly, just don't trust maniacs!
@ale2
I really liked the Maze Runner Trilogy.
@mdwaters1
The Alex Rider series was very good, you probably will never guess the ending though. (Hint: :-( )
the theme of the book i am reading is called dork diaries and it is about a girl who wants to be a star and gets a chance.But get her tickets stolen from he. the theme is no matter what happen always strive for your dream. never stoop believing in something that you love.
cbruck6
i want to check that book out.
ale2
i've watched the movie it was so good
The book that I am reading is Jungle of Bones by Ben Mikaelsen. I am on page 23. The theme of this book so far is to listen to your elders. This is the theme because so far because the main character has not been listening to his family and doing things that that are very illegal. He eventually gets caught right after his mom tells him to stay out of trouble. This is a lesson learned by any one who has read this book.
ale2 Your book sounds great.
tmwaldon1 Your book is really good.
The book I’m currently reading is Al Capone Shines My Shoes. This book was written by Gennifer Choldenko. I’m currently on page 129. One of the themes in my book is the fact that Al Capone (An Ex-crime boss) is doing the laundry for other people. Al Capone was a notorious street gang mobster.
@cbruck6
Sounds like a good book.
@Jhardy5
Sounds like a good book.
The book I have just finished reading was Tallstar's Revenge by Erin Hunter. The theme of this book is revenge will not make you happy. Throughout the whole story Tallstar became angry when his father died from a tunnel collapsing, and he blamed a cat named Sparrow for killing him because he was with Tallstar's father in the tunnel and managed to escape. Only at the end of the book did he realize that if he killed Sparrow then he still wouldn't be happy. So after trekking after Sparrow and meeting a new friend, he only accomplished the relief, knowing that his father died a hero instead of a victim. That is the theme of this book.
dgross4
The title sounds so interesting, I want to read it now!
mdwaters1
Classic theme but a very cool way the author slips it into a great plot-line.
The book that I'm reading right now is Deep and Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn. I'm currently on page 25. The theme is "Never get to curious, because it could lead you into a dangerous situation". There aren't any other themes so far, but I'm sure there will be more.
@ISwarts4 Tallstar's Revenge sounds like an intense book
@cbruck6 You have a very good theme
The story i am currently reading is Diary of a wimpy kid cabin fever and the page i am currently on is page 71 and the author of the book is Jeff Kinney. The theme of the story is to tell the truth instead of lying because if you lie you would make it harder on yourself.
dgross4 good job
cbruck6 good job
I am currently reading the book Unstoppable by Time Green. I am on page 35. The theme is inspirational and the tone is sometimes sad. It is inspirational due to the fact that the main character has overcome so many struggles. For example he has continued on even though he hasn't had a supportive life.
zmberroa I agree with the theme of your book
I am currently reading the book Survivors by Erin Hunter and have finished the book. The theme is ti never give up and stand up for yourself. The tone is usually upbeat but sometimes sad because someone will die every now and then. That is the only theme so far in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dogs.
cchesser5
Sounds like a cool book.
eoliver6
The author's name for that book is really cool.
I am currently reading Blood is Thicker by Paul Langan & D.M. Blackwell and I am on page 59. The theme of this book is to put family first. This is the theme because Hakeem is now the man of the family because his dad had cancer and can’t do all the manly things around the house. Since Hakeem has so much responsibility he can’t do all the other things kids his age do. His family had to move because of their money issues and Hakeem could have stay with his best friend. But since he puts his family first he packed up and left his home town, his girlfriend, and all his friends behind.
@DSanchez5 your book sounds like a good book.
@zmberroa your book has an important theme.
I am currently reading You Have a Brain by Ben Carson. I am on page 205. One of the themes in my book is the chapter I am reading now In-Depth Learning, he is talking about not just learning and forgetting after you take a test on the subject. He says “don’t settle for “knowing” surface information and facts. Don’t just read the material once and hope to remember the general idea.” He says Instead of focusing on specifics, think bigger and see the whole picture.” I have found that very helpful.
Jhardy5 I liked that book.
hhershkowitz1 That book sounds good.
The book I'm currently reading is Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. I'm on page 40 and one theme that seems to be present in this story is, "Who you surround yourself with, doesn't always define who you are." In this story there are two different people named Will Grayson who live different lives. They both have these handful of "friends," that they are associated with, but they aren't really anything like them. They hang out with them because they don't really have anyone else. For both Wills, there friends are part of some highschool clique you usually see on tv, and although the Wills hang out with them, they are almost the complete opposite of the people they call "friends."
@ale . I agree, the most basic theme of not only that book, but the entire series is to never give up.
@awhitfield . Your book sounds like it's really good.
My book is The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey and I’m on page 304. The theme of the book is that you should appreciate the things you have before time takes them away. In the book, one of the main characters named Cassie has a family, but due to the waves, she lost her mother to disease, her dad was killed by the enemies, and her brother was taken away. Another character named Ben/Zombie, had a family but also due to the waves, he lost his whole family and almost died. So now, those two know to value life and love what they have for now.
tfolston6 That theme is true for a lot of group of friends.
awhitfield4 He did a lot and went h\through a lot for a boy his age.
The book I am reading is The Heroes Of The Valley by Johnathan Shroud and I am on Page 476. The theme of the book is that sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself to save others. The main character is Halli Sveinsson and at the end of this book his house was getting attacked by another house because they believe that Halli killed their leader's uncle after they killed his.He wanted to keep his alive and well, so the other house called for him and he tricked them and had them eaten by trows. He learned in order to keep your loved ones alive you have to sacrifice your life.
@ KKimbrough1 That sounds like a interresting book.
ISwartz4 That sounds like a good book.
I am reading How to survive high school by Lele Pons i am on page 16. The theme right now is to be nice to everyone because you never know when your going to need someone in the long run. The character in my book was bullied and now she is famous and everyone that bullied her wish they didn't and now they all wish they were her friends. So now she knows to be nice to everyone so she won't have to experience that. This book actually gives good advice and shares funny stories about her life and I am enjoying it.
@zbergman4 That sounds like a very exciting book.
@ale2 That book sounds good!
the title of my book is Theodore Boone kid lawyer. The author is john grisham. I'm currently on page 142. he’s only thirteen years old
Meet Theodore BooneIn the small city of Strattenburg, there are many lawyers, and though he’s only thirteen years old, Theo Boone thinks he’s one of them. Theo knows every judge, policeman, court clerk—and a lot about the law. He dreams of being a great trial lawyer, of a life in the courtroom.
@zbergman4 That sounds like a good book
@awhitfield . Your book sounds like it's really good
The book I am reading is Bone gap by Laura Ruby and I am on page 74. The theme of my book is to love all of your friends that even if they are different. I know this because the main character in the book has a mental disability so that he can't tell peoples faces apart. The only people he recognizes are the only Indian girl and the girl who is so ugly no one wants to talk to her. He shows every one else in the town that they are friendly and ok to hang out with.
sscott6
sounds like a good book.
zbergman4
That's a good book
I am currently reading “Counting by 7s” by Holly Goldberg Sloan and I’m on page 59. I would say that the theme is to deal with grief. Willow’s adopted parents died in a bad car accident. She tries to find happiness to overcome her grief. She eventually finds it in nature.
erowland4 That's a really good theme.
tfolston6 I love John Green.
I am currently reading the book “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales” by Oliver Sacks and I am on page 33. It is difficult to identify a theme in this book because it is basically a series of different bizarre psychological and neurological case studies. Each entry includes a brief overview of the case, dialogue and notes from the actual patient interview, diagnostics, and an explanation behind the diagnosis, including statistical facts. Since this book is factual and doesn’t necessarily contain a story or plot line, it is hard for me to determine the theme of this book. If anything, I guess the theme of this book would be that the human mind is a very sublime and uncharted element.
@ajoseph5
That sounds like a really good book.
@erowland4
That book seems interesting based on your description.
Daniel X book 3 written by James Patterson and I am on page 45! I think that the themes of this book so far are to always be thankful for what you have. Another one is that you need to think before you speak. I Think this because all of the characters are rich and do not care about other people’s lives or the things they have. The other theme in the story is a theme because in the story the main characters are always getting into trouble because they say too much
chodges6 great description
DSanchez5 that book sounds good
I am currently reading "The Greeks" by Iain Lawrence. I'm on page 106. The theme of this book is to stick together, because a united country is much more likely to succeed. I have learned that it is better to team up with friends in order to overpower you oppose.
@Mcline1
Sounds like an interesting book.
@choges6
Good description
I am currently reading Ranger's Apprentice book three by John Flanagan ,and I am on page 100. The theme of my independent reading is to never go back on your word. I know this because in book two the main character is kidnapped and Halt says he will look for him and in book three master Halt is looking for him and is not giving up.Halt hasn't found them yet but he is not backing down from his quest.
Dbeaver2
Nice response your book sounds interesting.
Zsbergman4
Your book sounds really cool and good response.
The book I'm currently reading is Allegiant by Veronica Roth and I'm on page 128. The theme right now is we shouldn't believe everything we see. In the book, Four's friend who he thought was dead, came back. Everything Four and his friends saw inside the wall wasn't everything. There was more technology and developed things. I thought that the world I'm living might not be all, and someday we might get to explore more thing out somewhere.
@Nlabender5 Your book sounds like it's really good
@mncolton2 sounds interesting
The book I'm currently reading is Loser by Jerry Spinelli and I'm on page 123. The theme of my book is to look at your surroundings and be aware of what's happening. Donald Zinkoff is unaware of what's going on he hasn't notice that he can't run as fast as the kids or even jump higher. He thinks this all normal and isn't aware of it. Donald hasn't noticed it and probably will notice it later on down the road.
@hkim1 Allegiant is good
@kkimbrough1 Fifth wave sounds good
The book I am reading is Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs and I am currently on page 190. Out of all that I know about the book, the book’s theme is that it is not how ordinary or extraordinary a person’s life is, it is just how long it takes to find that extraordinary part of your life. First and foremost, it was only a bit behind directly explaining it in the Prologue as with the opening line “I had just come to accept that my life was ordinary when extraordinary things began to happen.” This theme really ties in once Jacob, the main protagonist, found out that all the stories his grandfather told him about the “peculiar children” were no lies or exaggeration, they were real. After that piece after piece of the puzzle of his grandfather’s childhood began to click and his perspective changed dramatically.
@cbruck6 That theme is words to live by.
@klynch4 Such a good theme.
The independent reading book I have is named,"this world we live in" by Susan Beth Pfeffer, and I am already done with this book. For books, there will always be many themes and my book doesn't truly state one, but one I can come up with is, you are never truly safe. Within my book has the unfortunate events of an apocalyptic world. The climate has gotten severe, many have died, piles of dead bodies, running out of supplies, and much more. Towards the end of the book after they've found a new van with gas still in it and still had food a tornado struck. This tornado destroyed their home and killed 2 people and other events also happening as well.
@Mcromarty2 It's not always bad to be different though.
@hkim1 These types of questions about reality will only gain more questions and no answers.
The book that I am reading is called Heat by Mike Lupica and I am on page 15. So far in the book one of the themes is practice makes perfect because the main character Michael practices baseball and then he gets better throughout the years. From when he was young he knew he wanted to play baseball and as he grew he gained love for the sport. Know in his teens he wants to play college and soon in the MLB but first he must go to the Little League World Series with his team.
@GMaran6 the theme is you are never truly safe is a good one.
@Mcromarty2 the theme, "look at your surroundings and be aware of what's happening" is a very true theme that you should always do.
The independent reading book I am reading is Dorothy must die and I am on page 10. I haven't found the general theme of this book, but to make a guess I think one of the themes is see something because when I read the book I can imagine the theme while I am reading.
@GKloeppel5
Good theme selection
I'm reading "Heat" by Mike Lupica and I'm on page 105. The theme of Heat is to never give up. Micheal is a 12 year old little league player with an arm like a major league player. He dreams of one day going to Pennsylvania for the little league Championship. His family has a hard time living.
@GMaran6
book sounds amazing
GKloeppel5 I am reading the same book as you and that's a great theme.
Ddaniels4 Nice theme.
I'm currently reading Divergent by Veronica Roth and I'm on page 209. The theme of this book is sometimes its okay to be different if youre just being yourself. I know this because the main character Tris was different from everyone else and learn to accept ot and like it. This theme just made me realize that its okay to be diffrent from everyone else if youre being yourself. So far I'm really enjoying this book.
@chodges Seems like a good book!
@erowland4 I might read that book.
I am reading "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" by J.K. Rowling and I am on page 140. The current theme of the story is 'take risk and it may help later on.' This is one of the themes to me because when heading to school Harry and his friend, Ron, couldn't get on the train for some reason so they took Mr. Weasely's ,Ron's father, car. But the risk in this was that they are under aged and the car can fly so they risk being seen. But they eventually made it to the school without getting severely hurt. This is why the theme is 'always take risk because they might help.'
@msmith2 the Divergent series is a great book series I am sure you will enjoy the book.
@Gazam5 That sounds like a great book, as are all Mike Lupica books.
The book I am currently reading is Scat by Carl Hiassen. The page I am on is 92. I'm not for sure what the theme is yet. But if I had to chose a theme for this story it would be that helping others is always the best choice. Because in the story the kids try to find one of their teachers that is lost that don't even like but they know it's the right thing to do.
@ msmith2
I loved that movie.
I am currently reading Percy Jackson Battle Of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. I am on page 189. The theme of the book is to all stand up for your friends. The Main character Percy Jackson And Annabeth Chase have to find deadulus the creator of the labyrinth. While they are looking for deadulus they have to fight against a kompe.
@erowland4
Sounds like a good book.
@mbradford4 Nice book & nice theme
@zsbergman4
Sounds like a good book.
The book I'm reading is to kill a mockingbird by Harper lee. I'm currently on page 89, the theme of the book so far is to stand up for what's right, no matter what people say or think about you.For instance, in the book tom was accused of a crime worth the death penalty rape. Atticus was nominated to defend tom, atticus was hated by most of the county. He was called multiple names and threatened by the witness's dad bob.
@Jbruce sounds like a great book
@ryassin that book seems interesting
The book I am reading is blood horse by Cathy and I am on page 92 one of the trhemes are to love and trust yourself.In my story there are several different themes and most of them are on love.Julien learns that you have to remember that you are always being loved whether you know it or not.Because of his horse loria he now knows that you always have someone to trust.Also he learns to put yourself first.
Anonymous Efreeman5
I have read that book and it is amazing.
Anonymous ryassin4
I have tried to find that book for a long time.
The book that I'm am reading is called Dork Diaries by Rachel Russell and I'm on page 245. There are many themes to this story, one of them is don't judge a book by its cover,literally. She learns this as someone steals her diary and then covers it up to look totally different.
@efreeman5 I think I'm going to read that next
@jbruce2 Good Job!
The book that I am currently reading is called Ghost Dog Secrets by Peg Kehret. I am on page 60. An abstract theme for this book would be wisdom and loyalty. It would be loyalty because Ra owner wasn't loyal to him even though he stayed loyal till the end.
@sthakor1
I think that's a good theme of the book
@msmith2
That's a good book
the book I am reading is Puppy Love by destiny and Catherine hapka and I am on page 60. I haven't read that much of the book yet to determine the theme or message but I can conclude what it might be. it could possibly be that "it's harder than what it seems" many times in the story Lauren thinks is won't be that hard, but it turned out to be the biggest challenge. it's not just a physical state for her also, it could be mentally because of her fickle love. who does she like more? her hot dog trainer or her best friend?
@jbruce2
I've read that book and it's good.
@msmith2
I love that movie series
I am reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 230. The major theme in this book is the conflict between land development for human use in south Florida versus preserving the unique ecosystem of this area that includes The Everglades. The theme is mostly played out through the actions and personalities of the main characters. The pro-development characters are greedy, stupid, and usually portrayed as unlikable to the point of being absurd. The anti- development characters are portrayed as thoughtful, unselfish, and concerned about more than their immediate gain.
@Efreeman5 This is one of the most important books in American literature because of its theme of racism in the South.
@Jbruce2 I enjoyed reading that book because of its theme of protecting endangered animals.
The book I'm reading is Flawless by Sara Shepard and I'm on page 86. The major theme in this story is the conflict between the group of girls and "A". The entire book is about the girls being harassed by "A", the girls learn that they should treat others the way you want to be treated because karma will get you later. Many times in the story there are flash backs to when the girls would tease other kids and later they realize those people could be "A". When the girls realized what happened in the past helped me learn what the theme was.
kcox6 sounds like a good book.
Chon5 sounds like a great book.
The book that I just finished reading was the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.I think the theme of the book is survival and keep your humanity and dignity as you try to survive.Katniss and Peeta have to survive the games of course but they have other struggles in their life.Both Katniss and Peeta live in district 12 so they don't have a lot of money.So not only do Katniss and Peeta have to survive the games but they have to survive their daily lives.
@sclark5
Sounds like a good book.
@Chon5
Sounds like a good book.
I am reading the giver by louis lowry. the theme in this book right now is it is okay to be different.
@Drivera4
i have read that book and watched the movie, it was really good and i thought of that theme too

i have never heard of that book but it sounds interesting.
The book i am reading currently is called The Possibility of Now, by Kim Culberston. The theme of my book is that you should live life for the moment and not always think about was going to happen next or in the few years. Relax and enjoy and dwell on the possibility of right now.
drivera4, I think that you explained the theme so well.
sclark5. it seems like you are reading a book an the TV show that i love to watch called Pretty Little Liars, keep reading though... It gets really good towards the end.
The book i am currently reading is called "Crash" by Eve Siluer, and i am on page 120.
The theme of my story is that family comes first. This is the theme because in the story the main character loses some of her family. They get captured and she then realizes if only she had been there she would have known. She is then more there for her family and saves them from the threat. In the story she is constantly goes away from her family and leaves them behind. In the end she understands the meaning of family.

That is a fantastic book.
drivera4
That book is on my reading list.
I am currently reading is Battle of the Ampere in the Michael Vey series and I am on page 107. The theme of my book is to be courageous despite difficult circumstances. In the book, Michael is kidnapped and drained of his energy. Eventually, Michael somehow breaks through and escapes the headquarters by being courageous. In the book there are many circumstances where he's in a tough situation. Even then, Michael never gives up. This book is filled with many examples where being courageous in tough situations can help you later on.
ecastillo2 That sounds like a good book.
dtthomas1 That's a good theme.
I am reading “47” by Walter Mosley, I am on page 61. One of the themes of this book is, that there is a difference between surviving and living. The main characters name is 47, he is a salve on a cotton plantation. He just recently got put out into the fields with the adults to pick cotton because he’s “Of age now” The adult slaves who have been slaves most or their whole life, are giving him some insight. Saying that the difference between living and just surviving is that when you’re just surviving you’re enslaved to life because you’re scared of death. When you’re living you don’t worry about the types of stuff you do when you’re just surviving you focus on forward. That’s what I took away from the chapters.
@mdinh6, that books sounds so good.
@Chon5, sounds like a great book.
I am reading Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz and I'm on page 80. One of the themes of this whole series is that you should appreciate life and understand it's importance. This is because Alex is sent on dangerous missions all the time, and barely makes it out alive every time. I think some of the research that Horowitz had to do involved secret services and a lot of European landscape and culture. This is because the story's main character is Alex Rider, a British spy.
@mdinh6
Sounds like a very exciting book.
@drivera4
I loved those books and the movies.
right now I am currently reading The Giver by Lois Lowry and I'm on page 84. The theme of this book is that people with power will only let you think and see what they want you too. In the book they all have to get shots every morning so that they will all be the same in almost every aspect. But when Jonas starts skipping the shot he starts to find new things out.
Anonymous LBaker4
that sounds like a good book.
The book i am currently reading is The Year My Parents Ruined My Life, by Martha Freeman and i am on page 1. One of the themes in my book is explicit. How she feels is written word for word. One of the abstract nouns is hate. The character so far is learning all about life and what it brings.
LBaker4 sounds really interesting.
Nbrown would love to read your book
My book is “Watch out Hollywood! More confessions of a so-called middle child!” by Maria Lennon and I am on page 65.The character in my book learned that bullying is bad. This an important lesson for her because she used to bully a lot of people. She is learning how to be kind to others. She even has to go to counseling because she was out of control. She was bullying everyone, especially her older sister and younger brother.
@lthigpin6 that seems like a really good book! I might check it out.
swilliams2 I have read that book before, its pretty good!
I'm reading a book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and I'm on page 26. The theme of my book so far is censorship. In my book the people are not allowed to own/read a book. This is censorship, because it is taking away your freedom. Noot only does it do that, but it ruins you creativity and imagination.
@jdaies2 Sounds like a good book.
@samanthawilliamso2 I've seen that movie and it was so good.
i am reading the book cinder by marisa myer and i am on page 820. The character in my booklearned that the enemy is not so different than the tyrant. She was tortured and so was the tyrant.But eventually she overthrows her and she becomes queen. She makes the relations to earth a much more friendly enevorment.
jdaies 2 good book
hhoward6 good book
Currently I am reading The Grimm Conclusion by Adam Gidwitz and i'm reading page 51. One main theme of this book is that karma will always come back to get you. This happens when the step-sisters are rude to the main character only to find that the king likes the sister more than them. This gets even worse when their eyes are pecked out of their sockets for revenge on treating the main character like she was just some servant.
@aberryman5 Sounds like a interesting book.
@hhoward6 Sounds like a good book.
I am reading the city of ember at this time by Jeanne DuPrau i'm on page 237. the theme of this book is that even if it seems that there isn't a solution to a problem there will always be a solution.when lina and doon thinks there isn't a way out of the city of ember they end up finding little pieces to the puzzle of the map that leads them to the way out.
@aberryman5 that's a great book
@sscott6 that book sounds interesting
I am reading Tomb Quest Book 1 The Book of Death and am currently on pg.21. The author of my book is Michael Northrop. So far the theme is to tell the truth especially to your parents. The main character, Alex has a unknown disorder where he gets shocks of pain and the only thing that can counter that is the pills his mom buys for him. He runs out and doesn't tell his mom so at the beginning of the book he shows up barely alive striving to get to his mom's purse where her emergency pills are. He sees his mom after he had taken some. They hadn't did their work so he was still kinda hurting which his mom notices and she asks him if he's OK and he decides to not tell her what happens.
mmoise6
That's true, sounds good.
blyncker5
Well that's interesting.
My book is "Power of Three: The Sight" by Erin Hunter, I am on page 128. The theme of my book is "don't let anything hold you back." You learn this when you here that Jaykit is blind and still goes into warrior training. He eventually becomes the medicine cat, but he still gave warrior training his best shot.
@zbergmen4
Thats interesting.
@nlewis5
Thats cool.
The book I am reading is The Last Apprentice: Rise of the Huntress by Joseph Delaney and I am on page 276. One of the themes of this book is don't trust a witch. Tom Ward tries to be an ally with Bony Lizzie and she turns on him. He accidentally helped her become queen of Mona. Now, the Spook, Alice, Claw, Blood, and Bone are trying to dethrone her.
The book I am reading is called “The Testing” by Joelle Charbonneau and I am on page 30. The theme of my book (so far) is that if you work hard for something you will soon get it. The main character of the book, Cia worked really hard to be selected for the testing. And her and others have finally been chosen after years of hard work and graduating high school. Very few have been chosen for the testing and she is finally there.
jiademarco6 that's a great book you should keep reading it
ahenderson4 that sounds like an awesome book.
