She's Come Undone

Summary of the book so far- From what I have read so far is that there is a girl named Dolores whose parents are divorced after her mom lost a baby because of a miscarriage. She never gets over this and creates her "angel" that she always talks to. After a couple of years she should be over it, but she's not. Then a new couple moves to the apartment above them, and the whole family loved them. After Dolores becomes friends with the guy Jack he starts taking her home from school everyday. One day he made a detour and ended up rapping her, and now she doesn't know what to do.

She's Come Undone

Q:"Grandma shot me a brief look of alarm, then lowered her voice."
Q:Why is her mom so confused and unable to take care of herself?
C:I think that her mom needs to get over what happened in the past and learn to live with what happened. She should be strong and set a good example for her daughter. I think that she should also go to her mom for help and take her advice on finding a job. This part of the book is not as realistic as the other parts, but it could still happen and that is why it is so interesting because you can relate to it.

She's Come Undone

Q: "He gets angry when he feels unhappy."
Q: Why do people feel like they have to beat their wife or their children when they feel unhappy?
C: I think that this book is realistic to some point for some people. I also think that people who beat their family members don't know how to control their anger. They just take it all out on the first thing they see including people. I think that even if you are abused you should tell someone and not hold it in, because it could only get worse and by that time it could be too late.

A Walk to Remember

Introduction- a guy is pressured into jumping off a diving board and ends up hitting his head on a pipe in the water, Landen gets caught but gets away, first day of school they compliment Jamie.

Rising Action- Landen has to be in drama and asks Jamie to help him with his lines

Climax- there are two options, either the opening night of the play where they share their first kiss and he realizes he loves her, or when Jamie tells Landen that she has cancer.

Falling Action- once he realizes that he loves her he does everything he can to make sure that she can complete everything on her "list" that she wants to accomplish before she dies.

Resolution- depending on how you see it, you can have a happy ending, or a tragedy. One way you can see the ending is that Landen and Jamie found true love in each other and he went off to medical school and fulfilled his dreams.  Another way to see it is when she dies.  That could be taken as a tragedy. 

If Your Reading This, It's Too Late ..

Sequel to The Name of this Book is Secret, this book dove deeper into the secret of the magician and his brother.  I was able to finish this book in the span of two days because it was so good, and I would recommend this book and The Name of this Book is Secret to anyone who is interested in a good read.  A quote from this book that I liked was actually at the very beginning of the book where it asked us to sign a contract.  The contract said this, "I, the Reader of this Book, certify that I am reading this book for entertainment only. Or to avoid cleaning my bedroom or doing my homework. I will not try to uncover the true identities or locations of the people described in this book. Nor will I try to contact any secret society mentioned in this book. Although the story may concern an ancient and powerful secret, I hereby deny any knowledge of this so-called secret. If I am ever asked about it, I will run from the room. Unless I am on an airplane, in which case I will close my eyes and ignore the person speaking to me.And if all else fails, I'll scream. I will not repeat a word of this book under any circumstances. Unless I just can't help it." This quote goes along so well with this book because of the secret that the book contains.  One question that I have is why is the author so protective of this secret?  I think the answer to this depends on the reader itself because no one really knows the correct answer to this.  It all depends on who the reader looks at this story.  I really enjoyed these two books because of the mystery it holds and if I say anymore, I will give the book away.. 

The Name of this Book Is .. secret

Q: Cass cracked the door-then stepped back in fright: the room behind the door was occupied by hundreds of people. 

Q: What is the point of all the mirrors in Ms. Mauvias's office?

C: I don't think there really is a point to all the mirrors other than to maybe confuse people.  I think this whole book is really confusing but it is also very good.  As you read you are always wondering what is gonna happen next, and it keeps you into the book.  I would recommend this book to anyone really especially those of you who like mysteries. 

The Name of this Book Is .. secret

This book is very interesting and VERY confusing all at the same time.  It is about a dead magician and a secret, and that is all I can say about this book, and apparently that is all the book can tell me as well.  While I was reading this book, I could think of a lot of questions like what is the name of this book? or who are the real characters? or what really happened to the magician? but none of these things can be answered right now, and I'm not even sure if it will be answered by the end of the book.  One quote that I really liked from this book was 

"Please be SILENT and LISTEN

I am the SCHOOLMASTER

and you are in THE CLASSROOM

Just like ELEVEN PLUS TWO equals

TWELVE PLUS ONE,

And even a FUNERAL can be REAL FUN,

You will find my DICTIONARY

is quite INDICATORY

If you want to read my story, just look. . .

THEN UNREAD"

I like this quote because it is a riddle that the magician left behind when he died.  The two main characters Cass and Max-Earnest(even though that is not really their names) found this riddle and had to solve it to get the next clue.  Once they solved it, Cass had to leave and leave their task unfinished.  This book is a real mystery, and although it can be really confusing at times I like the story so far and I can't wait to finish the book!
