What I plan to read next

I just finished the book Divergent and I really enjoyed it. The next book I plan on reading is Until I Met You. Until I met you is a teen fiction book written by a girl named Emma. I found this on the app Wattpad. The reason I really want to read this is because it's classified under teen fiction which will hopefully make it more intriguing towards me because those are the kind of books I like. Also, it is written by a girl that is 17 so her point of view would be similar to many other high school girls. Until I Met You is a story about a girl named Jessalyn, she has always been shy and would hold herself up into her room... Until her Dad passes away. Jessalyn and her Mom move to California and this is her fresh chance to start over and maybe even come out of her shell to make a few new friends. I'm really looking forward to this book!

Divergent-setting and comparisons

The locations in Divergant are very bland. No one really seems super happy which makes everything dull. The school is just like any other school except the abnigation faction are dressed in gray clothing, making them stand out rather than blend in like the government planned. Tris the main character is part of the abnigation faction. This faction values selflessness. They are not allowed to look in the mirror, girls cannot wear their hair down, no makeup is allowed, and many other things to make them what seems to be keeping them from being superior to someone else or from other people developing jealousy. Divergent reminds me of Harrison Bergerson, the short story we read last week. The relations come mainly from government control, and the rules that involve everyone bein average, or in their own specific place. This book is really really great and I would recommend it to anyone! 

Divergent-Reason for choosing and comparison

I recently started the book Divergent. It has been HIGHLY reccomended by others and I have also seen so many blogs reviewing divergent. Of course I had to read this book everyone thinks is so good. Everyone is right! I started reading Divergent last week and it's so good! The fact that this society divides people into different sections is really interesting yet weird... I know I would never want to live this way but it makes for a good story right? This book reminds me of Matched in a way. Matched is a book I read in 8th grade, bascially when you get to a certain age you have a ceremony to see who your match is (your soul mate). I think this is like matched because the societies in these books have major control over their citizens. Although, as of right now it seems as though Tris in Divergent has more control over her life than Cassia from Matched. I really liked Matched so hopefully I continue to like Divergent just as much!

Honors English 1A - Favorite book

      During my first trimester in Honors English I read three books, The Fault in Our Stars, Romeo and Juliet, and Premeditated. I am a slow reader and I am not easily drawn to books, as you can tell by me only reading two independently. Although it can be tough for me to sit myself down and actually read without zoning out, the Fault in Our Stars was something I actually looked forward to reading. Not only did I love it, but SOOO many other people have rated it highly and reccomended it to others.

     Finding a good book is very challenging and goodreads helped me find this one. I liked The Fault in Our Stars for many reasons. To start, it has a story that's relate able; maybe not to the exact extent as knowing someone with cancer but just the fact of having a hard time with someone you love or someone you're very close to. This book faces the real realities of the world while at the same time still giving and interesting story that leaves you wanting more.The Fault in Our Stars Trailer
