Pretty Little Liars

The book "Pretty Little Liars" is extremely suspenseful. In this book you get introduced to many characters. This week I read a little about all the girls lives before they came back together.  These 5 girls were so close you could practically call them sisters. Suddenly this life turning event happens which causes them to all go their own way. Emily starts to look for more friends and she starts separating herself from the girls. Aria moves away to Iceland to get a "new start". Spencer is too stressed out with school that she doesn't have time to worry about friends. Hanna becomes way to popular to even care about the girls anymore. Ali.. well, she disappeared. People thought that what happened to her was murder. School began again after a few years of being apart. Unfortunately they start the year pretty strangely. Whenever someone happened in their life that reminding them of Ali, and when just like they were thinking about Ali they get a mysterious notes or message. One of the messages said, in this case directed towards Emily, said, "Thought you might want this back Love, A". This note was a love note Emily wrote to someone special. They don't know who this mysterious A is but they might have a clue. A starts catching the girls every actions and he/she start making themselves more and more present. A seems to know anything and everything, and they will use it to their advantage.  Unsure of who it is they all reunite and go out on a hunt after this torturous human being. Will A cause more trouble? Will A take it too far? Maybe. Horribly gorgeous girls,  can "die" but their secrets aren't truly buried along with them. 

"Pretty Little Liars", is a suspenseful fiction/ teen fiction book/ mystery. Why? It's simple. Throughout the book thing will happen that you never imagine could. People will be threatened either softly or severely, there is no in between. All the girls have real life teenage problems. Their lives consist of: drama, rumors, friends, school, boys, and other things. The person called "A", who threatened to peel off those pretty little mask they have on, is someone completely anonymous. The girls have no clue of who this person can be. Or how they know all these things. The only other person who knew those secrets is dead, or at least they think. See? This one book can hold many Genres but it can keep it's ideas clean and clear. One of the biggest things I enjoy about this book is all the mystery behind "A" it constantly has me asking, "Who's A? How do they know this? Wait how did that just happen? What truly happened to Ali?". One things that bugs me the most is how the girls never even try to get the police involved. They are trying to resolve a dangerous problem by themselves but in all honesty, I probably would've done the same. At times, I literally feel like I am the girls. This book has me not just reading but LIVING the story. 

Quote provided by book: Never trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret. 

Call of Duty

The article of "Call of Duty" was sad yet inspiring. Jose Armenta & Zenit work together to track dangerous bombs. Both Jose and Zenit were in the army. Zenit was Jose's partner. Zenit is Jose's trusty dog. On the day they were very successful, they were also unsuccessful. Unfortunately, tracking of one if the bombs went wrong and Jose almost lost his life. Jose lost both his legs and a lot of blood. Closest thing he had to survival was miles away! Zenit stayed by Jose's side the whole time. When rescue finally got there, they took Jose and Zenit to an emergency room right away. After long months of rehab and therapy, Jose started to get use to his new legs. Getting use to his prosthesis legs wasn't easy, but he got through the adversity. The most tragic part of this unforgettable event, was that his bestfriend, Zenit, was taken to war again AND assigned to a new partner. Jose was angered! He hated knowing that Zenit was with somebody new. In order to get back Zenit, Jose had to work hard and fight. That's exactly what he did. Jose went through a lot of arguments, and paper signing, and waiting, to get Zenit back by his side. After waiting for what seemed like forever, Jose was reunited with his trusty partner and best friend, Zenit. Zenit immediately recognized Jose and covered him in kisses. Jose says that he felt like his life was finally complete. 

This article taught me so many things, I don't even know where to start. First off, it taught me that true connections can be with another person or even an animal. It also taught me that your best friend will always be by yourside in time of need. No matter if Zenit was a dog, he understood what happened to Jose and he didn't leave him to die. Another thing it taught me was to fight for what I want and love. Most of the time it's worth fighting for. If you truly want something, you'll wait as long as it takes. 

True friendships can never be broken. 

Will Grayson - Point of View

There are many characters in the book, "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" but who's point of view is it?

We are introduced to two characters points of view. Both are named Will Grayson. We see their story through their eyes. How do I know? Simple, they both live different stories. 

The first Will we meet talks a lot about going to clubs with fake ID's. "Jane gives her ID to the bouncer. He shines a flashlight on it, glances up at her, and hands it back." Then when they go home with an intoxicated Tiny Cooper. "I notice Tiny looking blankly at me, swaying back and forth like a skyscraper in the wind. And then he falls face first."

Then we go to the other Will Grayson, the depressed Will Grayson. "but I always end up turning my head. always. I always walk off the edge." This scene was really upsetting. Mostly when he said the next few words. " you have no idea how much I hate this. I hate the fact that I'm ruining the night right now, ruining everything." 

But apart from the intense scenes this book has,  I enjoy the point of views this book portrays. It shows us that although what comes out said might sound awful and rude at times, what's thought of can truly mean something to them. That is why I enjoyed this book from front cover to back.

Character Analysis

In my book, "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" there are two Will Grayson's but I will be talking about one. Both Will Grayson's have a very good story to them, but the Will Grayson I'm gonna describe has a bit of a down side to him. 

Will Grayson is a lonely kid who believe his only friend is Maura. A girl who is his best friend but sometimes she makes it seem like she wants more than that. Will met his "lover" online. Will doesn't really like doing much except for waiting on Isaac. Everyday they message each other and talk about their feelings towards one another. Will can be a total jerk but he also has feelings and he knows when he's going overboard. Will is kinda full of sadness and hate. Will claims that Isaac is the only person who keeps him sain. I sympathize Will. I really do feel for him. 

Lemon Brown

The story "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" was a truly inspiring story. You see, Lemon Brown taught Greg the importance of memories. I really thought this story had a strong message in it. It really surprised me when Lemon fought the guys who were trying to steal his treasure. I loved how he protected his treasure whole-heartedly. What surprised me the most was Lemon's past, he was a rich musician but he gave all that up. Now he's a homeless man living in an abandoned place. That shows that not everything can go well. Greg wanted to leave home because he thought it would be better. He thought he would have a better off living somewhere else. Lemon Brown taught Greg many things. One of the Lemon shows Greg that even the smallest things can have a huge meaning to them. Greg learned that maybe his father was tough because he truly wanted Greg to be a better person.
