'I Am Number 4' (4)

Imagine being the next in line to die. The three “people” before you have died, and now it’s your turn. I am Number Four is about a boy, whose identity changes from place to place because he is in hiding. He’s waiting for his legacies to develop so he can rise up and defeat the “people” he is hiding from. The best part about my book is the suspense. The book leaves you hanging and has twists and turn and things you didn’t expect throughout the whole book. You are constantly wanting to turn the page and not put the book down. There is also good detail used in the book.  I think that this is a good book for teenagers and older. If you like mystery and being surprised, you will love this book. The movie came out a while ago, but if you read the book, and like it, I suggest watching the movie too.  




I hope that you choose to read the book and enjoy it.

Divergent (3)

Beatrice Prior is 16 years old. She was born into the Abnegation faction. After changing to the Dauntless faction, she becomes more dangerous and willing to try new things and more thrill seeking things, even if she has the chance of dying. I would love to interview Tris because she is such a dynamic character. Some questions that i would want to ask her would be:

1) What makes you willing to die for fighting for something you believe in?
2) How do you keep going even when people are constantly doubting you and saying that you can't do it and will never make in?
3) Which character have you learned the most from in the book?
4) If you could change what faction you chose, would you?

In the book, Divergent, Tris is thought of as weak and unable to do certain things. Throughout the book though, she proves that she is able to do more than you expected. She is brave and selfless all at the same time. She even finds true love. The one conflict that she faces is finding out what being divergent means. it can be very dangerous and for some people lead to death and/or hardship. So my question for you is this:

If you lived in this book and found out that you were divergent, what would you do? Would you just go with the flow and say its something you have to live with and try to hide it? Or would you try to find out what exactly you can do being divergent?

'Stars' (2)

John Green. One of the greatest authors to ever set him pencil on a page or fingers on a keyboard. He always puts tons of detail in his work and spends time making sure everything is perfect. That is why he's won so many awards and has had so many accomplishments. He won the Printz Award for 'Looking for Alaska' and had the number one novel on the New York Times Best Seller list for 'The Fault in Our Stars'. John Green was born August 24th, 1977. He graduated from 'Kenyon College' with a double major in English and Religious studies. Besides being a writer, he also is a YouTuber. He teachers history lessons and posts them on there. He has a great sense on humor and right now is working on helping with a movie being based of his book, 'The Fault in Our Stars'. I have read the book and I'm so excited for it to come out. 



As you can see in this little moment behind the scenes, he is easy going and so passionate about him book. The only book of his that i have read is 'The Fault in Our Stars', but i plan to read a lot more by him because i liked it so much. I would definitely recommend reading all or any of his books. He is such a funny and great author and i can's wait to see what he will do in the future. 

Can you see the theme in the Stars? (1)

The theme of 'The Fault In Our Stars' is to keep on going, even when the going gets though. Many of you have probably heard this before and I feel that it fits this book perfectly. Both of the main character struggle with cancer. For every battle they face though, they face it head on and strong, ready to overcome it. In the beginning, even small things like going up the stairs, for Hazel, become a battle she has overcome. "The contraption was necessary because my lungs sucked at being lungs. I didn't want to take the elevator because taking the elevator is a Last Days kind of activity at support group, so I took the stairs" (Green 8). (Next part is a spoiler alert) For Gus, having the cancer return could have made him sit around and try to make everyone feel bad for him, but no, he's going to try his best to fight it. When telling Hazel that the cancer has returned, this is what he has to say, " 'I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time' " (Green 215). The battles continue until the very last page of the book. No matter what the characters are going through, they are always going to try their best to overcome them and fight them. Augustus fought till the very end, even when the news he got wasn't so great. So I think the overall theme is, fight as long and as hard as you can, no matter how much you want to give up, DON'T. I feel that this theme could also serve as a life lesson. When you want to give up, remember what else you have to live for, and fight it.

My article that i chose talks about how everyone always looks at cancer as all sad and depressing. John Green, the author of 'The Fault in Our Stars', is finally putting the "humor" in cancer. He is telling the raw reality of cancer but while looking at the bright side. Hazel says, "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities ... There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbound set. But Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity."

This article that i found perfectly describes the impact this book can have on people.
