Summary Of Cracked By M. Walton
Cracked By: K.M.Walton
What would you do if your parents ignored you and told you that you were a mistake or you got abused by you grandfather who consumes a lifethrentening amount of alcohol on a daily basis. My book is Cracked by K.M.Walton. This book is about two teenaged boys who do not get along. Both boys Victor and William(Bull) acquire difficult life’s. Their complicated home life’s push them both to the psych-word. The most interesting part of my book occurs on the last day of school and some of the short scenes of the boys in the room they shared at the psych-word were not very exciting.
Some of the many events that had taken place on the last day of school were some what nerve racking. The very first situation happened right before

    In conclusion, the story was a thriller. I liked how everybody went through so much to cover their tracks. I was not surprised that in the end they got caught because it was pretty obvious with all the mistakes that they make throughout the novel by leaving footprints and personal belongings at the murder scene. I learned that the teachers who are the most strict and have the highest expectations are the ones who can help you. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend because it was very interesting to…

    The only aspect that bothers me a bit is that the story seems a bit jumbled; events that spread years apart are put together in one page, and then a few paragraphs later, the story flies back to third grade memories.I find myself desperately trying to reorient myself, but sometimes I simply cannot and have to reread the whole page.…

    The book is told in a circuitous way; I found the jumping back and forth in time a bit distracting, but more off-putting was the way Xeones forecasts an event or subplot before narrating it in detail later. Already knowing how Thermopylae turned out, I was hoping for some suspense in the details, but there too Pressfield tells us the end before getting started on the story…

    In the book the parts that I like in the book are the best parts with all the detail and the story plot of things throughout the book. One thing I liked was on pages 346 and 347 because the suspense was crazy with everything that was going on with prims death. It made me not want to stop reading until I found out what was going on and it just kept me going and going to see what the whole story was. This was a very good thing in the book because I didn’t like most of the things in the book so this detail made it so that the book was kind of interesting. I love the parts that are in suspense because of the thrill it gives even though the thing that happened was very sad it still excites me for what is to come. There are many other suspenseful parts in the book this is just one example I wanted to give of the books many suspenseful parts. If the book didn’t have the suspense like it did I wouldn’t Another part in the book that I liked because of the twist in the story was on page 372 when Katniss is trying to kill president snow and so I don’t ruin it for you let’s just say it doesn’t end up like that. Someone else dies instead of president snow and now he knows that Katniss was trying to kill him and she can’t do anything about it. The twist is that she kills the other…

    It was quite boring and not much occurred until near the end of the book. Subhi’s mother lies in bed sleeping for most of the story, while Jimmie and Subhi constantly meet up with each other to tell stories. I was hoping for some more action and conflicts to help stay interested. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find anything else not to like about the book. The writing style is fantastic, it flows smoothly, and it gives a great view of what it is like to live in a detention center or refugee camp.…

    My anxiety flutted around in my chest and gripped each breath like a vice. The daunting and steep steps danced in my mind making the simple task of walking up stairs more difficult than the impossible task to run a mile in a minute. Next, a boy pushed the door open behind him almost as an afterthought, but in my chaotic mind it was the best thing all morning to happen. On the dreadful first day of school, chivalry was not dead, or at least that’s how I was able to comprehend his actions. I glanced around unsurely before starting to slowly walk towards the freshman commons; each eye that meets mine screamed enthusiasm.…

    * This story is a bit slower, perhaps better read by an older teenager. This book makes you think, and I found myself thinking about the message and the point and the depth of the novel. It's not as fast of a read, but it's a quality read. The book is very well written, full of phrases and descriptions that make you stop and think.…

    Why have States failed to maintain peace and declared war, when it is clear that the outcome of war most times leaves all states worse off? War is defined as an event involving the organized use of military force by at least two parties that reaches a minimum threshold of security or as a conflict were more than 1000 people are killed. There are different forms of war -—interstate war and civil war— but no matter the form war comes in, it comes from national or international anarchy. War doesn’t materialize from thin air it comes from one State wanting something another State is in possession of—whether that may be resources, land, or other indivisible goods that a State has—trying to prevent another State from becoming too strong, or by trying…
