A boy named Thomas Endress participates in a test and he thinks he wont be able to pass. I predict that Thomas wont be able to pass and later on in the book he will be able to. I predicted this because of this quote “you should never have been chosen” (Charbonneau 30). Thomas has been repeating this in his head because he thinks he isn’t qualified enough to take the test. So the first was questioning about if he ever gets the girl next door, then connecting when they all see pips little sister walking for her first time and predicting in my next book the testing. Out of reach was a good book one of the best I’ve read so far, and the testing I’ve haven’t read much yet but I can tell its going to be a great book I think I deserve a 9 out 10 because I spent a lot of time in the journal and because sense this is my first journal in a while it might be a little
My reflections on the orginization of the novel ended with me loving how the book came together. Alex started off as a normal teenager that does normal teenage activities , but then in a blink of a eye his
Throughout Great Expectations, the main character, Pip, undergoes immense changes in character as he matures and time passes. At the beginning of the story, Pip is just a simple boy who cares little for personal advancement and status, and is perfectly content with his simple life. However, a new trait of Pip arises when he meets Estella and Miss Havisham. They look down on him as common and criticize his low social class and lack of manners. This leads to Pip entirely rethinking what he finds important, and his desire for personal advancement quickly overshadows his kindness and generosity. He begins to look down on his closest friend, Joe, for being so common, and he abandons all of his older dreams for
the end. I enjoyed this book because I thought the story was strong and inspiring. There were
The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to
One thing I didn't like about the book is how it ended. They leave you with a multitude of unanswered questions. While reading this book, I found myself comparing my life to the life of the main characters Nick Abbott. For example, Nick would go out at night and shoot hoops instead of doing homework.
what is going to happen next. Lewis does a good job drawing out the suspense in the novel. She
In conclusion overall I enjoyed this book because of the determination the two sisters have to escape together and be free and to help Adam stay alive and keep him out of their thoughts so the foundation doesn't find
In both books issues were a very common thing. A issue that really stood out to me was Hope not fitting into school and her feeling like an outsider when she first moved to her new town. That same issue must have been how Sarah felt her whole life, not fitting into school because
My PIP is a cross-generational comparison of media’s influence towards public perception of homosexuality throughout decades. Society has become more accepting in recent years and it’s expected to grow even more in the future. The rise in support for same-sex marriage over the past decade is among the largest changes in opinion on any policy issue. In my PIP, I’m going to be discussing media’s perception of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders and asexuals in the past decades to how it is perceived now. Homosexuality is defined as a sexual desire or behaviour directed towards a person of his or her own sex. I’m going to be comparing my generation (Generation Z) to my parent’s generation (Generation X) to see how media has affected views towards homosexuals.
In social studies I think I deserve a 6 because.I did a lot of research on my guy even though I
Do you believe in happy endings? If you do this is the book for you, most of the time. This book is very exciting, nerve-wracking, and sometimes a bit dramatic. Also, if you want to know it always leaves you on a cliffhanger and you never want to put it down. Wait, you’re saying this is exciting, how?
In language arts I think I deserve a 5 because. I had use some good wording in the role I played. I think that because I had thought about what I was going to say and how I was going to say it. I also did some persuading for others like when i said “ They had tried to attack me and my brother. They had staged an attack on us.For what reason.I don't know why.” Even though it was true about the attack I made my voice sound like it had actually
While I didn't necessarily like the switch between characters prospectives, I found pleasure in developing with the characters that seemed to be real. Yancey drew in my interest from the cover, his powerful quotes made an impact on me from the moment I read them. What I've liked most of all, is the challenging questions that Yancey leaves his readers to think about. He is deep, but also descriptive in his writing without creating a boring story, which is what I personally look for in a novel. Due to the fact that this was such a wonderful read, I can definitely see myself picking up his second book in the
I think that I deserve a 90.The reason I think this is because I am always on task.I never get in trouble,I listen and pay attention.Another reason is that I do all of my work when it is supposed to be done.All of the work that is given to me,I get it done and hand it in on time.One other reason is that I try my hardest on my work.My work is in the best quality that I can put it in.
