Entry Four

The reason I chose this book is because it was different form the usual I read which are fantasy and realistic fiction which can be boring after awhile! Then in the library I came across this black book with a beautiful cover and name so I picked it up. Meeting the requirements of the summer reading project and my personal own haha; I sat down and starting reading straight away. Some connections I see I have is with the main character Gemma she trust people easily and can be very stubborn like me. She also gets quite nervous around cute boys haha like me also and most girls. She can also be determined which is a quality im still trying to obtain but I value it in her it helps her a lot in the story; But when she loves she loves with her heart! I also connect with Ty he can sneaky like me but very outgoing and lovable after you meet him. Hes also shy around the ladies which I really enjoy takes away from the charming male character you always see in love stories. I would recommend this book to people who like mystery love stories because duh! its a mystery love story which has many twist and turns that keep you guessing and wanting more while watching two opposites fall in love. Opposites do attract haha!

Entry Three

"You pulled me to you again, tilting my face and saying something. Everything about you was fuzzy, floating on the fumes of the bins. Your beautiful mouth was moving like a caterpillar. I reached out and tried to catch it. you took my fingers in yours..." ~(Stolen, Christopher) Pg. 10 I like this passage from my new book Stolen because it shows how connected Gemma is to Ty and it has a lot of imagery which is very creative and lots of cute metaphors. I also chose this because I think its one of many vivid paragraphs in the book that is my true favorite out of all of them. Also you can make a lot of inferences to what's going on by reading this paragraph which I think is awesome. my other favorite piece is "You kept feeding me chocolates. That rich, dark taste... always in my mouth, clinging to my teeth. Before you, I loved chocolate." I like the mystery it has behind it that kept me more interested in the book and wanting to know how he made her not like chocolate anymore. This was an amazing book that kept me going on and on to find out more hope you read it!

Entry One

In the new book i'm reading called Stolen by Lucy Christopher; my major characters in the story are Gemma a 16 year-old girl from Britain then there's the mysteriously handsome Ty. I just love the setting it takes place in a Australian dessert away from civilization for miles. Gemma just wanted to meet up with her parents on the airport so they could go on there family trip; stopping for a cup of coffee, Ty pays for it and talks to Gemma waiting for her to take a sip from the coffee he drugged. The drugs take affect and he makes his move and gets away with taking her to his cabin in the Australian dessert. Some predictions I have are Ty's intentions aren't what they seem so far he's treated Gemma kindly like he loves her; but she only believes he's out to kill her at any moment. I just want to know if Gemma is ever going to escape? What are Ty's intentions with Gemma? Does he love her? This book reminds me of those obsession movies you see on Lifetime Movie Network there's so many to name! By the looks of it this book is better than any lifetime movie

Entry Two

In my new book stolen the desires of Ty is to get Gemma to love him and to stay with him and to trust that he would never hurt her and he only wants the best kinda like a father figure. Gemma desires to escape far far away from Ty and to not trust a thing he says and try not to anger him and get killed or hurt. Themes im starting to notice are love comes in many forms and people will take it to great lengths to prove there love to someone like for example Ty kidnapping Gemma to Australia. I like the theme I chose because it isn't Cliché and different from other typical themes you hear in books all the time. The structure of my book is in letter form from Gemma to Ty explaining how she feels and her experiences being with him in great detail. I like the structure of this book because it different and it gives the side of the story from the captor but one thing I would change is getting a mixture of Ty's side of the story maybe that can be the idea of book two! In other words the author better start writing book two!

Secret Life of Bees

Any Book recommendation's?

Slowly loosing more and more interest in my current book the The secret life of bees  I think its time for a break up.  I been too consumed in it and I think I need to spread out in my genres. I typically stick with my realistic fiction and fantasy novels because they tend to be more interesting in my opinion. So comment what you think I would like or just recommend a book your already read and love! I cant wait to see all the new titles you give me!

Krista Ramsey

My teacher seemed really excited about her coming to our school to speak so i might as well read up on some of her articles. Krista Ramsey some may know her others may not;Well just in case if your Literary inclined she is a columnist For Cincinnati Enquirer. A recent Article i read which was the link below (\http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/columnists/krista-ramsey/2014/02/08/krista-our-kids-tell-the-story-of-why-preschool-is-a-must/5328181/) it talks about how preschool is important in a child's early education so they can be ready for kinder garden. In my personal experience i can connect to this. My mother told me i went to preschool and what i can remember i think it actually helped. Now as for my little brother he didn't go to preschool;He struggled in kinder garden and now as a first grader he is struggling more to catch up to the other kids even when hes the biggest in his whole class. My mom preached to me ton put my children in preschool and now is see why. This line really stuck out to me because its a good example of why kids should go to preschool "Now she ranks advanced or very advanced on every measure of kindergarten readiness. She can connect letters to sounds. She's doing beginning addition. And she knows how to handle a disappointment, separate easily from her mom or dad every morning, confront a friend who's being mean." Just by going to  preschool young kids like Ashley can accomplish many things that can help them in the future grades.
