Is the author worthy of praise or criticism? At this point, I think that she is worthy of criticism because she lies so much. But then again she could be worthy of praise because she is getting away with all the lies that she is telling. I know you might be thinking why should I praise someone like that lies but I’m praising the fact that she is actually getting away with the stuff. If I had to describe to describe Micah, I think that she is just a compulsive liar. She strays away from the truth. To me I think she is scared to tell the truth because she is scared of what people might think or feel about her. I feel that no matter what you should tell the truth. I think that the truth helps when it comes to some situations but it sometimes don’t. I think that she just needs to start telling the truth and she would be a better person and people would start believing her. I’m not saying that people don’t believe her, but the people that know her already know how she is. For example, the part where she said that she mad out with Zach’s girlfriend and best friend. To me I think that she was lying because how she was telling the story just didn’t seem like that would happen. But when I first read it I was amazed at it because that was kind of a good how she told that individual story about them 3. But my view of the author might change in the future but right now my answer is the same.

Free Response!

           The incident that I remember from past reading is when I read the book Push.  Push is a book based of off the movie Precious. The movie Precious is a hard movie to get though just like the book is. The book to me is kind of harder to get though than the movie. I say that because when u watch the movie even though your physically seeing it, when u read the book to me it’s more detailed and it’s in your mind mentally. The one incident I remember was when her mom was fighting with her and was throwing things at her while she had her baby in her arms. To me that was kind of unnecessary because she could’ve hurt the child. Another incident was when she had another child by her father. I don’t know how any father could look at their child that kind of way. That I think is what really made her mom not like her. Throughout the book everybody picked on her no matter where she was. If I was in her shoes I wouldn’t know what to do. I would just want to be by myself or find somebody that actually cared about me. One more incident that I remember was when she went to an alternative school. Going to a new school is challenging for everybody. But all along I think that’s where she needed to be in the first place because everybody accepted her. The teacher even recognized her while she was there. I think that everybody should read the book because even though it’s a rough book it makes u think and know that it’s always somebody out there that’s worse off than you.

My Blog!!!!

The book that’s I am currently reading is Skyscraper by Zane. This book is an urban book. The book is about the main character, which is this man named Chico, telling a story in one week. And this week is one of the most unforgettable because it’s leading up to Wolfe industries, where he works, annual Christmas party. Now jobs usually hands out checks but this year there handing out a lot of drama. These four people that barely knew each other started to cross the same paths in a disturbing way. Will I recommend this book? Yes, in a way I would recommend this book only if the person likes reading these kinds of books. A lot of people I know don’t like reading urban books because they’re not for them. But if people like these kinds of books I would recommend them because it’s kind of like a story of mystery. It’s one of those books that you can’t wait to get to the end of it so you can see what’s going to happen. I really like stories like this because it really keeps me interested and focus because not a lot of books can keep my interest. These books have some of the language that we speak today and some of the actions that happens in the world today. I wouldn’t have changed or written the book any differently from what I have read so far. In my opinion I believe that this book would keep anybody’s interest.

Free Respose!!

When I read, I usually try to read in a quiet place. But when I do read I end up reading in a place that’s too quiet and I end up falling asleep. So, if I read some place quiet it would have to be in like a library where its people around me because if I’m at home I will fall asleep. So my typical reading environment would have to be some place not too noisy but not too quiet. So I have to read with some music or some mini conversations going on in the same room I’m in. When it comes to reading, I read at a steady pace. I read like that so I will comprehend what the book main points are. I am also the type of reader that has to read at my own speed/pace. For example, when a teacher gives me and expects me to read 5 chapters to read in a day or two. Even though it usually takes me about a week or a week in a half to read a book, that’s if the book is not interesting, I need to read it at my own pace. Some books that teachers assign make me really bored to the point where I don’t want to read another book they assign.  The kind of books that keeps me interested is urban books. I think they keep me interested because they are books that speak the language that we speak today and they have some stories that people are dealing with today.
