The ending of  the book was satisfying to me. I learned what all she went through and how the rest of her life played out. I thought it was a good book, especially if you can relate The one question I would ask her is, how she dealed with everything as an adult. What major problems did she end up having.

I really liked this book and why I chose this book was because the cover of it really caught my eye and I thought it looked interesting and it was and I liked the whole book there was never a dull moment. Every part of it was good it kinda kept you on the edge of your seat and what not which made it more interesting and im glad I decided to go with this book because I am not a book reader at all. If I could ask the author one question it would be how did you choose the name for the book? Or why did you chose to write about people finding their perfect matches? Was it a relation to you or something? I would recommend anyone to read this book!

I really enjoyed the whole book Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. I liked this book, I have read many other books by her and I enjoy many of her other books too. So when we were picking books out in the library this book caught my eye because I really like her other books and I had not read this book of hers so I made my decision pretty quick.
If I could ask the author, Sarah Dessen, I would ask her is... What is wrong with Auden's dad and new wife, Heidi, baby (Thisbe), why does she cry more than normal??

Child Abuse Making a change

We are wanting to make a change with child abuse there are so many kids out there that are getting hurt by people and it needs to stop. Those kids that are getting affected are scared for life because they have had so much happen to them. I feel the people that do abuse children should have something happen to them because they don't know how it feels to be abused until it actually happens to them.

Child abuse is a continuous and rising issue in the world today. I feel like something major needs to be done for this major issue. More and more young children are being effected and even killed. It's just crazy how some of the people don't even get in trouble. These people should be locked up and punished for their terrible deeds. This issue will continue to frustrate me till something changes.

Child abuse is a major issue in the world, which is hurting many children for doing nothing wrong. I feel that something needs to be done to fix this issue so children are not being harmed or even fear going about living and afraid something is going to happen to them or they are going to get abused. I feel people are are abusing children should be punished in one way or another for hurting children that are not doing anything wrong.

I don't think i would change the end of the book because he manages to escape his mothers grasp and is able to function as an adult and it okay.
     The question i would want to ask would be if he ever looked for David or if he ever found out what happened to him or his other siblings.

" My Brothers Journey" 2nd Blog

The book that i chose to read was My Brothers Journey.
              Richard is his mothers own little "Nazi" as he calls it. He gets David in trouble and tattles on him for pure joy and to see fear in his brother eyes. He sometimes gives him food when he goes to the basement. He definitely knows that he can easily get him in trouble and David will get some sort of beating. Richard is some what justified for his actions because he does it so that he wont get the beatings himself. He as I said give David food and tries to help him as much as he can. He is so afraid of his mom.I don't either approve or admire him, I think it did just to survive and not die or end up being killed by his own mother's hands. I think the past has shaped him because he saw how his brother was being hurt and he saw the things his brother did to survive, so he took those things and it helped him. Richard doesn't remind me of anyone because i don't know anyone who has gone through child abuse.

Blog post #2 over free book choice (Character blog)

Auden the main character, parents are divorced and she lived with her mom but she would have people over in the evenings and Auden would not be allowed to be around them. When she got to her dads house she liked the view of the beach right outside her bedroom in the house. When she got to her dads house she saw her Heidi her dads new wife sitting on the couch with her half sister Thisbe. She didn't see her dad much when she got there because he was in his office with the door shut and writing. But he would not even come out to help Heidi with Thisbe because she was crying non-stop. Then she felt bad for Heidi since she was with Thisbe the whole day trying to get her to stop crying so Auden went into Thisbe's room and gave Heidi a break and let her go get some rest. I admire Auden, I feel that she cared about Heidi when she went to give her a break to get some rest and told her that she would stay up with Thisbe and try to calm her down.

2nd Blog post My Mother's Keeper

In the book, Holly is growing up with a schizophrnic mother. Holly is sent to Texas with her Great Aunt. Everyone in the family is dennying it.  As the years go on, she pushes for the sanity of her mother to get better. Trying to make her and her mothers relationship better, she deals with being judged the whole time. The time period is in the 20's throught the 40's. I would say her actions were justified in all levels. I don't think that she thought they were all completed to her. The past has for sure shapped her life to become a better daughter to her mother, and a better wife and mother. I feel like it shaped her to be a better person, she might have gone through a lot, but in the end it helped. I admire the courage of Holly! I could never go through something like that. I don't recall Holly reminding me like anyone, I would love to know someone like Holly though!

Summary over matched of what i read so far -Brandi Davis

In "Matched" by Ally Condie, Cassia lives in a world where Society has defined rules and events. She is challenged by her grandfather to open her eyes to see beyond what is generally considered acceptable. When she falls in love with a young man who is outside of Society's approval, she begins to understand what her grandfather is talking about. Cassia and her family arrive at City Hall for a special celebration. She is going to find out who she is supposed to spend the rest of her life with - her Match. Cassia's Match is in the room instead of in another City Hall, which is very unusual. It's her best friend, Xander. How I am experiencing the book so far is I got right into it and it didn't really take me long at all. Why you might ask? Because the way she wrote the book makes it so interesting and makes me want to keep reading to the point I cant stop! How I feel when reading is happy because it's a good book and I actually found a book I like and am interested in! I would for sure recommend this book to anyone it's a great book! :)

Summary for 1st one-third of Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen

Auden's mom and dad were divorced, and she lived with her mom and she was a professor. Her mom would have other people from school over and they would be talking about things to do with school and her dad is remarried and his new wife had a baby, Thisbe. One day, Auden decided that she was going to go stay with her dad and his wife, Heidi, just to be somewhere different for once and she also wanted to see the beach that they lived by. When Auden walked into her dad's house she saw his new wife, Heidi, sitting on the couch with the baby screaming, while his dad was sitting in his office writing like he normally does. Then she decided she was hungry so she asked her dad what was for supper and he said he didn't know so he gave her money to get food at one of the stores, and he told her to go ask what Heidi wanted. When she asked her she said that she was going to make her a nice meal but she was too busy with Thisbe. When she got back she took her Heidi's food to her since the baby was still crying. After a while, she then heard Heidi crying with Thisbe because she was so tired and had been up with her for a long time, so Auden went back to Thisbe's room and told Heidi to go get some sleep and that she would take care of Thisbe for the rest of the night. The next day Auden's mom called and she was asking her how much her dad was helping with the new baby.
I think it is kind of weird how Auden's dad doesn't help his wife, Heidi, with the new baby and that he is just in his office most of the day writing things.

When I started reading this book I feel right into it. After reading just a few pages out of this book I think I would enjoy reading a lot of other books written by Sarah Dessen. I feel angry that Auden's dad would not help Heidi with the baby when she was obviously struggling with helping Thisbe calm down and stop crying. He just sits in his office all day and doesn't bother about going to see if Heidi needs help. Auden was the first one to go give Heidi a break and let her get some sleep.

The book I chose was 'Keeping You a Secret' and i chose it because it seemed like a interesting book and in some ways relates to me because for a while I had to hide who I really was from family and friends. It seems like a good book and it'll keep me interested.

Book

The book i chose was matched i choose the book because it looked interesting and the way the libarian explained it to me made me want to read it. what i predict will happen is two people will get matched up and live happily ever after

Along for the Ride

The book that I chose is called Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. I chose this book because I have heard from many people that they liked Sarah Dessen's books because how good they were and I had not read any of her books before and the cover to this book looked interesting. Auden's parents divorced and she lives with her dad and his new family near a beach. Where she finally gets a job at a clothes boutique when she was first introduced to what the world of girls is like: the talking that goes on between girls, friendships, and crushes. She had missed out on this stuff in the past due to her demanding mother.

thoughts on the interview

I cant imagine this i get so angry watching this i could only imagine as a mother how it would be for my child and i to go to the gas chambers and thats that. Cant imagine how the men felt to lose family without even knowing at first. All i think about it why? and who wakes up and thinks about this who wants to do this to another person let alone children who have no idea whats going on, like he said people who could have found the cure for cancer or aids gone in 15 mins this is so sad,think about being  in a bunk with others and wake up and your fathers gone and the person next to you has passed and nothing you can do but scream inside for fear you would be next. to live everyday in death and worry and hunger i could only imagine the people who just wanted to die to get ride of the pain to leave the camp i cant imagine at all watching this opens my eyes wider then before about this i pray for those lost and for those saved i cant imagine at all what it would be like and my heart breaks for them all.

My favorite Book

My favorite book would have to be the in to the wild we did a big thing on that my senior year of high school and i just loved that book and the movie! It was a great book because of the way it was set up and the way the author made it sound like it was him talking instead of someone else talking it made me feel like i was experience the true meaning of what he was really going through! It also got me to thinking what it would be to really live like out there and if i could actually survive! Great book i would suggest anyone to read and to watch the movie! -Brandi Davis

Interview response

After watching the interviews by Elie Wiesel I can picture what it was like back then. I can't imagine what it was like living through it all. Seeing all the young children and all the other people that were killed, they didn't even do anything to have this happen to any of them. The interviews helped me understand what this time period was like by being able to actually see it. It was a really hard time watching all of them seeing all the children but it helped put a picture of things in this time period in my mind.

Interview Response

Viewing the interview definitely had a lot of feelings. I couldn't imagine what those poor, innocent people went through. The experiments and the torture and the pain, and for no reason at all. The children were innocent and never did a thing wrong and for them to be killed at such a young age and have the rest of their life just taken away is just so heartbreaking. Those people who put their names on the suit cases thinking they were going to leave again and never getting them back. They save the memories of those who owned them. In the end the rich, the poor, and the famous were all one.

My Favorite Book

Love You Forever By Robert Munsch

 This is book would have to be my favorite book due to the fact that my family use to read this book to me and I read this book for my children.So the link I have up above for you will bring you to Robert Munsch site talking about the book, this book not only followed me through my life and help me through one of the toughest things I have gone though (I know you thinking weird how could this children's book follow me and help me get through life struggles.) well if you decide to click on the ling which i would suggest :) you will see the famous line of the book .
“I’ll love you forever,
I’ll like you for always,
as long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.”

which really started as a song he made up for his two children that where born dead. I bet you wondering how does this relate to you Chelsea? well I too had a set a twins born dead which was the hardest thing i have ever gone through in my life and for some reason a lady at the hospital gave me this book and i was soo thrilled it reminded me how warm and cozy and how much my parents loved me it made me feel better made me smile thorugh a tough time. well weeks later i was on the internet and decided out of the blue to look up the author and see what other books he had in the midst of this he brought me to this page  and i read on how the famous line i have known my whole life was created on something soo much more serious then I knew as a child.At the moment my jaw dropped and i felt like the book for that moment in time was written for me. there is so much i could say about this book ad i could write pages and pages but i hope u have time to sit and read this book its amazing.

Response on interview

I could never imagine the emotion Elie has to feel when he goes back. He was taken back, while talking about certain areas of the camp. I felt bad for all the innocent children and older people. All the people didn't do anything wrong but got killed. The interview opened my eyes up even more. I didn't know a lot of the stuff even happened. Helped me get a better glimpse of the book. I can now picture what is going on.

My favorite book

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

My favorite book is Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. I don't really like to read books and I also don't like to sit and watch movies. But Safe Haven was one movie that I actually really liked. I like this movie because of all the action that is going on in it. It is about a lady named Katie was being abused by her ex husband Kevin. And one day she went into the store to get something when she met the handsome guy that worked there whose name was Alex who has two children Lexie and Josh. Katie and Alex started hanging with and went to the beach a few times together. Until one day Katie's ex husband Kevin started looking for her since she was not home. Kevin then sends the police out looking for her. One night Alex had to go run an errand so he asks Katie to stay home and watch the kids. I am going to stop there and you can watch the movie or get the book and read and find out what happens at the end. I would recommend this book to any teenage girl. I have not been able to read a whole book, besides for school, but this was the first book ever that I was able to start and finish.

My favorite book

                                                                                 Pretty Little Liars

 

Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead. That is the beginning of Pretty Little Liars book series. Pretty Little Liars is also a hit T.V  show on ABC Family. Starting with five best friends Alison, Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily that live in a small town of Rosewood. When one night Alison disappears, no where to be heard of or found. Everyone in the town believes she has disappeared. One year later they find Alison's body. One day all four girls get mysterious texts with the letter "A" at the end. After three years of continues harassing texts, calls, and encounters with team "A" the girls are on the edge of finding who team "A" is. I'm going to stop right there incase I ruin it for anyone. The book series and the T.V series are very mysteries, and eye opening. As I read the books, I thought to myself " I hope this would never happen to anyone". I also thought "who has this much time to gather a team and harass these girls". The Pretty Little Liars series is the only book series I have ever started and finished. Along with that I have been watching the show since my sophomore year in high school. Yes, this is still my favorite show and book. You should either start watching the T.V show or read the book. You won"t regret it!
