    As I read through several reviews, I found it amusing how many people assumed the main focus of The Chaperone would be over Louise Brooks. It was pretty obvious to me, by the title and summary that it was going to be about “The Chaperone”. Due to this reason, I chose Mandy Boles’ review to be one of my three. The first things Mandy noticed, was that…

    "Rattle his bones, over the stones, it's only a pauper, who Nobody owns". During The Graveyard Book, something about the title just told me it was going to be spooky. Nobody Owens, known as Bod, could have been just as normal as any person, if he did not live in a graveyard. His "adopted" family were ghosts, ceatures of the dead and also Silas, who was his guardian. His real family was killed by a guy named Jack when Bod was only 18 months old. Bod is very curious and soon finds himself in danger that teaches him his skills and limits.…

    Allyson is the ultimate good girl, but toward the end of a surprisingly boring post-graduation tour of Europe, she makes an impulsive decision to skip the Royal Shakespeare Theatre's Hamlet for a street production of Twelfth Night featuring a striking Dutch actor. The next day, Allyson bumps into the handsome Dutchman, Willem, on a train ride to London, and they strike up a flirtatious banter in which he dubs her Lulu. After their two-hour trip, Willem offers to show "Lulu" around Paris "for JUST ONE DAY," and to her best friend's shock, she agrees. During their intimate day (and night) in Paris together, Allyson lets go of her inhibitions and enjoys taking risks, getting lost in the sights and sounds of a new place, and most of all, falling for this deep and enigmatic guy. But the next morning, Willem is inexplicably gone. Distraught and depressed, Allyson spends the entire following year coming to terms with how whirlwind romance changed the course of her life. Author Gayle Forman has already impressed readers with a moving novel about the difference a day makes, so it's no surprise she's taken the idea and inserted strangers instead of estranged exes as she did in Where She Went. Forman has created in Allyson's story not only the kind of intense 24-hour romance that quickens pulses but also a truly transformative coming-of-age tale that will inspire young women to take the Shakespearean line "to thine own self be true" to heart. By allowing Willem to rename her Lulu (he never learns her real name that night), Allyson starts off acting like a more adventurous spirit but slowly comes to realize she is capable of so much more than meeting her parents' straight-A, pre-med, Ivy League expectations.…

    Morrie’s ideas raise up a lot of questions. What makes an emotion? How are we able to feel emotion? It makes me think of The Giver by Lois Lowry. In The Giver is a society where all emotion is eliminated, meaning that humans cannot feel emotion. It’s very interesting to compare how emotion plays a huge role in both stories. Morrie is someone who has felt sadness, pain, and grief, yet people in The Giver never get to experience those emotions. I think Morrie is trying to tell Mitch to detach himself from his emotions because he wants Mitch to accept that life is short and that nothing is permanent.…

    This passage is important in the story, The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman, for it not only represents a turning point in the relationship between Bod and Miss Lupescu, but also shows how Bod begins to grow as a person. When Bod had first been introduced to Miss Lupescu by Silas, his first thought was, “She’s horrible!” Throughout this chapter, Bod’s view of Miss Lupescu seemed to become worser and worser through her appearance, her food, and even her lessons. However, once Bod had went through the ghoul-gate, and wasn’t able to escape from the ghouls, a part of Miss Lupescu’s lesson had immediately came into use - the call for help of a Nightgaunt, even though Bod had first thought that he was “never going to need to know this.” Also, Miss…

    Having a large number of options to choose from does not in fact make people very happy. Just because certain people are more better off than others and because of this have more things available to them, doesn’t make them enjoy life anymore than any other person.
