The book showed different scenarios that normal sophomores could go through and how to deal with the problem, even if it is a bad decision. Not only did it show how to deal with life situations, but the book also showed you have to fix them next time and do better. It also teaches how to maintain a friendship through a rough high school year which features a lot of drama. It shows how strong friendship can be, and no matter what happens to one another, one always needs to be there to support his/her friends and have their backs. The book was an easy read that showed one a storyline of a relatable concept that gave signs to look out for such as friends who leave a person alone in a car while they make one break the law or when the same friend forced Maddie consume a drink at a party that tastes odd. I enjoyed the book, but I felt like the foul language was unnecessary, and I also feel like they should take it out because more people need to read this book while not being cautious of it being…

From the other hand I think they loved each other. When two hearts are beating together, it is not matter what social status they have. They…
The greatest allure to this book is in the ability to relate to the lifelike characters and their struggles. Although the characters are young, ruffian, gang members, their perceptively portrayed struggles with fear, self-doubt, loss and grief, family conflict, questioning of life's fairness, and their feelings of being ostracized, are timeless, and many readers will be able to understand and empathize with them. Much of the charm of the book is in the sensitively detailed close, tight bonds of friendships and family. The characters loyalties, compassion, support, and reliance upon one other is heartwarming. The reader can easily care about, and sympathize with, each of them. These timeless themes, and relatable characters, give the book a relevant and enduring appeal that readers in every generation will continue to appreciate.…
In this short story "After Twenty Years", the author gives the message of how separation can affect a friendship, no matter if the separation be short or long. By the end of the story, the main character "Bob" ends up being recognized as a criminal wanted in Chicago and the officer from the beginning of the story turned out to be Jimmy Wells, who ends up having a plain clothes officer turn Bob in to the police station. A twenty-year separation like that would certainly cause an ending of that sort, or any ending heading into a bad direction. A long separation period would obviously cause some sort of shift in the friendship. The direction in which the shift can occur usually has a positive or negative effect.…
‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar is a phenomenal and superlative narrative. Entwining three remarkable stories from diverse generations and genres, Holes demonstrates immensely proficient writing dexterity, explicitly depicting the significance of earnest and genuine friendship in times of life’s trials and tribulations. This is exemplified when an averse and apprehensive Stanley and a despondent and barely conversant Zero develop a friendship. Founded on mutual solicitous understanding this friendship carries them through ominous and precarious times. Madame Zeroni and Elya Yelnats are two characters further used to demonstrate the ineffable importance of friendship in times of adversities. Their affiliation was based on virtuous guidance and assistance; even though this friendship is later blemished as Elya fails to honour an imperative promise. Friendship was the foundation of Sam and Kate’s illicit love story, their alliance helped them endure society’s condemnation of their obstinate love; they contentedly jeopardised their lives and stood by one another in catastrophic times, in spite of the ending. The relationship between the tent D boys is a prominent constituent used to portray the gist of sincere friendship. It was one of potent collaboration, solidarity and protection. In such a hostile environment they ensured that they survived as a group putting each other’s needs first, respecting one another and most devotedly they were prepared to take the accountability and the burden for others’ transgressions.…
The novel opens with Miles’s going away party where only two acquaintances of Miles attend. With no true friends from his old school, Miles moves to Culver Creek. At first Miles is hesitant with his friendships - awkwardly unable to engage and unsure of whom to follow – but he slowly learns to be himself around his new friends. We learn that Miles values his new friendships by the way that he strictly adheres to the Colonel’s “no ratting” policy and shares both his time and money in order to smoke and drink alcohol, activities in which he had not previously engaged. As the novel progresses, Miles transforms from a loner to a typical teenage trying to understand the intricacies of complicated friendships, particularly his friendship with Alaska.…
The only characters worth trying to even analyze in this story are the little girl Nancy, and the old man. I think the old man is a very interesting analysis. From what I read in the story, I inferred that the old man was making some sort of attempt to have some sort of sexual interaction with Nancy. Obviously any person, man or woman, who would try and…
This book is about Joey Pigza, a kid that always wants to help and take charge of correcting the wrong lives of people that he knows. His mom Fran and his dad Carter messed up their life, they’re always chasing each other and the result for that are his mom and her boyfriend Booth. He got this lesson after his grandmother passed out and his changes make people around Joey feel happy for him such as Mrs. Lapp his homeschooling teacher and her child, Olivia. The example is that she let Olivia go to the performance of the musical when Joey asked even that she doesn’t like it. After reading the book, I think that the theme of the book is life is short; you have to live for yourself, not for others. I like this book; it taught me that if I want to help people around me, I have to help myself first. And I rated this book 4 stars because it great but not perfect, the book didn’t have a very strong example to prove for the theme. I would introduce this book to my friend because they are young and they do not have a lot of experience in life so this book could help them to point out how their future will be.…

The story started with a situation which will be followed by a flashback about how the two people met, how they got close, then slowly working back to the current setting and locale of the story then proceeds to the resolution of the story this sequence usually have a problem of being too complex to be used without having logical problems with the organization of the storyline and tends to put the story to a chaotic disarray. But this is not true in this story as it gives the situation then sheds light to the predicament by the flashback. It gives the story an interesting flow and prevents it from being monotonous and cliché then as usual it goes back to the standard flow which gives the resolution in the end. The story is also like a dialogue of their innermost thoughts just like reading letters from both of them, it has a subtle conversational feel even though they did not engage in an actual dialogue in most parts of the story, they had and exchange of thoughts based on what is happening in the storyline. It shows how they react to…
