Reading Others

I really liked Alli's and Izzy's blog posts this week.

I liked Alli's because she wrote a poem about her book. After she wrote the poem, she explained what each line meant. She said how each line connected to the book. It really broke down to me what the book was mainly about and what her thoughts on it were. She did a really great job.

I liked Izzy's because she did such a good job on explaining her thoughts about the book and how it connected to her life. She gave good text evidence. I love how she said that she "put herself" in Em's shoes to feel why Em acted the way she was in the book. She also gave a very good connection to her life at camp and i found that really interesting. Izzy's post really taught me something!

I Heart You, You Haunt Me

This book is really really meaningful. Ava goes through a death of her boyfriend and she blames herself. I think Ava is a really powerful girl because many obstacles come in her way. What I like about this book is the layout. Its like Ava's book of poems. Also Ava is always expressing her feelings. One thing I really like that keeps me wondering is how did her boyfriend die? The book keeps you thinking and makes you want to read more.
The title is even really meaninful. Even though I'm halfway through this book, its really showing me the different kind of ways a book can teach you. I Heart You, You Haunt Me is a book I would recommend to A LOT of people. It pulls you in and keeps you. I can't wait to finish the book.
