I thought this was a really splendid book . This story is about a boy, named Rafe Khatchadorian who just wants to have fun with his 6th grade year. He really dislikes school and devises a plan to make the school year as amusing for himself as possible. His plan he devised , with his imaginary named leo, is that he will try and make into a game by trying to break every rule in the rule book and depending on how intense/ hard the rule is to break he will get more or less points, and he has a goal of points he is trying to get by the end of the year that leo makes up. He can also get special points from stuff that happens throughout the year. This book had me hooked from the beginning, because at some points it was intense and at other points it was kind of serious, so it was a good mix not to much action and not too much sadness. I also really like the author, James Patterson. He has many other works including Wizard and Witch, Along Came a Spider, and many more. …show more content…

Over this entire novel, it is a good novel for children. It train children how to think logically, and notes people we should cherish our family, and people around us, very educate. Children can learn true is always been hide.

Thus, according to this criteria, Pullman’s book is the most prestigious as he won the most prizes with the Carnegie in 1996, Children’s book of the year 1996, Guardian Children’s fiction prize 1996, The Best Carnegie medal winner in 2007 and on the short list for the British Fantasy Award in 1995. In contrast, Ransom received the first Carnegie Medal in 1936 not for ‘Swallows and Amazons’ but for ‘Pigeon Post’, the sixth book in the series. Swallows and Amazons was on the Daily Telegraph 100 books every child should read 2008. Blyton has received no awards that the critics would view as prestigious but only for popularity, like the Costa Book award for Best loved Author 2008. This is due to not only the selection criteria but also the members of the selection committees.

The next book I read was The Giver by Lois Lowry which I actually bought a couple years ago at a book fair. It sat on my shelf for two years then it was recommended to me again, so this time I read it. I ended up liking it so much I contacted the author via email and asked if she would ever consider selling the movie rights. She replied and said that the movie rights have been sold and there’s a movie in the making. The story is about a boy named Jonas living in the perfect utopia where there is no war, no crime, and no hate. The ceremony of twelve’s is very soon and that is the most important ceremony of all; it is when your assignment or job for life is decided. Little does Jonas know that he is about to receive the most important assignment of all. Shortly after the assignment is given he meets The Giver. This sci-fi book is one of the best books I’ve read and is also a Newberry Award winning book.
This was a great book, but took me a lot longer to finish then most, simply because of how upsetting some of the things talked about are. If you’re look for a book that will make you think, and bring tears to you’re eyes, and teach you a thing or two a highly recommend this book, and might actually read it again myself. Hopeful my eyes can stay dry this time.
What we see is not the truth, but rather our interpretation and distortion of the things we struggle to perceive, as our imagination fuses with our conception of reality. We conceptualize these omnipotent forces through our uses of symbols – to create an understandable world through abstractions – in order to explain what these forces are. [INTRODUCE CAPRA]
This book is a very interesting read, if you have some self discipline. I mean that you need some self discipline because this book didn’t really captivate me in the sense that I couldn’t put it down. But after reading it for a while, I started to appreciate the author’s way of describing the characters and actions in this book.
Overall I enjoyed reading this book, I read it a few years ago in high school, but I took more from it this time and was able to apply it more to my experiences and events I have witnessed. I’m glad the novel was assigned for me to read because it really made me think about the world today and how we interact in the world. It actually brought up questions and connections that I didn’t see when I read the book years ago. This novel will always be relevant and I’m sure will be read years from now.
