We are made of molecules was a great book. This book had many key things of making a great story.

Overall the book Honor Thy Children by Molly Fumia was great. There were points in this book that just tugged at my heart. For example when the Nakatani’s found out that their middle son Greg was shot and killed. There were also points in this book that I felt if I had been in their position, I would be in a great deal of pain and misery and would not know how to work through all that had happened. I thought that Al and Jane were brave parents to endure the deaths of their three sons. This book by far was the most interesting non-fiction book I have read. This book would move the heart of any person that read it.…

A book tells a story and gives you a visual in your head. Perfect chemistry is a story of a boy in a gang and a girl with a perfect reputation. Their attraction to each other comes as a surprise as though a slap to the face. This was something neither on them wanted but when they explored the attraction since they couldn’t keep away from each other, they fell in love. The genre of this story is young adult since the story contains problems from the normal teen’s life. The story is told from the girl’s and boy’s point of view and changing in each chapter, going from the boy to the girl. The style used in this book is very simple, though some vocabulary words may be difficult to conceive. The story is especially two teens and how life may seem different one the outside for them but really their lives were quite similar. Some problems for them may not have been the normal teens but mostly a teen can relate to most of their problems. The genre is young adult because of the characters being about the high school age and having a story similar with a lot of teen living in the cities, where violence and gangs are normal way of life. In most books, the story is told from only one character’s view but in this one it was told from both the male and female character’s view. This helped in explaining how each event in the story had an effect on them and how they reacted to it. The reader is told the story where most details are known only to the reader but no other characters. The author has used some figurative language, has followed the normal sentence structure for the most part. The vocabulary in the books was difficult at times; some words wouldn’t have been comprehensible unless a dictionary was near. This story has different layers to it and may seem difficult to grasp at first but as soon as the reader gets past a chapter or two, it grabs the reader’s attention, quickly. The story is about two…

Where do I stand as a writer? This was a question I constantly asked myself and pondered about whether it was writing for a hobby or for a class assignment. Through the years of writing on the side, and creating stories from the fiction of my imagination, to sitting in English classes with constant interest to improve my writing, I found the passion and craving to write something, growing more vibrantly inside me, and feel as though it constantly changes my viewpoint and have emerged to the writer I’ve always wanted to be and hoped for. The constant obstacles and challenges that I faced during the more recent years of writing, I feel as though, have shaped me towards being a better writer, with still more room to grow…
