13 Reasons Why:Guided Response

The title 13 reasons why is significant to the whole story because this story is about a girl who commits suicide and it is because of  13 people, (or they apart of the reason) who she puts on tapes and has them listen to so they can hear and understand why she did kill herself and how they are linked. I have not finished this book yet, but i will soon because how everything and everyone are linked together i just want to know already. I don't know all the characters yet but so far i really do like this book and i love the title because its an attention getter and the title of the book is what the whole story is about, its simple but a very honest title about what you are going to be reading.

A Walk to Remember

So A Walk to Remember is my all time favorite movie, when i was at barnes and noble the other day looking at Nicholas Sparks books i found it and i got so excited! I didnt know this was a book and that, that was made into a movie. It is actually alot different the movie takes place in what im guessing was the 90's but the story was orignally written for the 50's, the book is being read by the main boy Landon who is now 57, but when he met Jamie they were seventeen and it was 1958. Jamie was the preachers daughter and Landon was a little mischievous teenager. In the movie the setting is something more familiar to us being that the movie was set in the 90's, but i like the book because you get to see how things may have been in high school back then is it always going to be the same no matter how old or is different with time? I havent gotten that far in it yet but i am already comparing the two.

Guided response sentence from Lock and Key

"When my mom first took off, i didn't think it was for good. I figured she was just out on one of her escapades, which usually lasted only as long as it took her to run out of money or welcome, a few days at most."

It was sad to me because this to her is something normal after this sentence she talks about the first couple of times her mom did this she was so worried and when her mom came back she would be annoyed with Ruby for asking too many questions about where she was, so she stopped asking.Ruby saw this as her mom teaching her how to take care of herself on her own, which is sad because to me it sounded like she was still making excuses for her moms lack of care for Ruby, but as the story goes on Ruby stops making excuses for her mom.

that summer

Hi guys! so i just finished reading my last Sarah Dessen book=[ Sunday was a sad day for me. It was a short book about a girl who is almost 6 feet tall at 15, her parents are divorced and she lives with her mom and sister who is getting married in less than a month. Her sister has had a ton of boyfriends in her time but one Haven the main girl still remebers is Sumner you learn it was her sister first love ans Haven first sense of what she believes a good guy is and she runs into him and he is kind of a crutch for her through out the book but never anything more than a friend, he reminds her of her favorite summer when her sister was dating him but suddenly they broke up and she blamed her sister (they dont have the best relationship throughout this book) but in the end you find out the first boy either one of them cared about was each there first disappointment.

The book im reading now is called lock and key. I havent gotten that far in it so far its about a girl whos mom abandoned her and she goes to live with her sister who she hasnt seen in years and her new brother in law. They are really wealthy and shes not very adjusted so far to her new life and she keeps saying she is going to run away as soon as she turns 18, but i dont think she will end up going and leaving her sisteragain,and of course theres a boy slowly starting to creep into the story so we'll see. I think i like it so much so far because even tho she dosent have sympathy for herself and she appears strong,but you can see her slowly starting to depend on people and let people help her, its sad but i know it will have a happy ending.
