The Hate U Give


Hey guys, I am currently reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. So far I have only read around 85 minutes, which puts me at page 53. So far this book is about a girl named Starr who lives in a ghetto neighborhood but goes to a very preppy school so she tries to find a balance. Her bestfriend gets shot within the first 40 pages, this is not a spoiler, which basically starts the story off.

I noticed that this story is facing very real problems in this world. For example, so many African Americans get punished for a crime that they did no commit. They get shot for saying the wrong things. They get hated on for their skin tones. The world is such a cruel place now a days and people do not deserve that kind of treatment. Even though I am only on page 53 I already know this book is going to be one of my favorite books yet. 10/10, would reccomend already.

Dialogue

"How was school today Ellie?" My mom asks as I get in the car. "Fine," I say tired as always. "Did anything happen today? Anything important?" She says as if she knows something. "Not really. Except I had a French test," I say distantly because my phone is distracting me. "Well, how did it go?" "It was alright, I studied so hard for it. I think I made an A," I say still distracted by my phone. "Good." We drive the rest of the car ride in silence because my mom has nothing to say, and I am too distracted to say anything. "Home already," I mumble to myself, not noticing how short one car ride could be. "What was that?" My mom asks. "Nothing," I say annoyed. "Ellie start your homework soon! You need to go to bed by 10:00," says my mom knowing by the time I finished homework and lollygagging on my phone, it will already be 11:00. "Mom but I am so tired, can't I ...

It's Kind of a Funny Story

It's Kind of a Funny Story , is actually kind of a funny story. There is a kid named Craig. Craig has been suffering from depression ever since he started at his new school that sets high standards. As I was reading this book I noticed that the author, Ned Vizzini, made out Craig's depression to not be so serious. Throughout the book, he made subtle jokes that made me laugh out loud. This book also has life lessons and it may be able to help people understand that they are not the only ones going through hard times. What I really love is that this book is told from the authors' experiences. It makes the book feel so surreal. The way Ned Vizzini describes everything makes you feel like you are walking around as Craig, the main character. His writing is so real. most authors that write about teen depression do not really know what it is like, but Ned Vizzini did understand what it was like. I highly recommend this book to everyone because everyone goes through hard times a...

Mint Snowball

Mint Snowball had to be one of the most detailed pieces of writings I have ever read. That is why I was so intruiged when I started reading. Normally I dislike reading and annotating liturature, but I loved reading Mint Snowball because everytime I reread it I felt like I was in the shop tasting the snowball for the first time, over and over again. I really loved how the author used details about the snowball that she had never even come close to tasting. As I was reading I noticed that the only thing the author had left of her great grandfather was the snowball recipie, which was sold for hundreds of dollars, intead of passing it down the generations. I also love how the narrative ends with questions that will not be answered, and leaves you thinking.
