The Sun Is Also A Star By Nicola Yoon
The Sun is Also a Star is written by New York Times bestselling author, Nicola Yoon. The main characters in this story come from a family of immigrants. Daniel was born in America after his parents moved there from South Korea. His parents want him to live the “American dream”and become a doctor and graduate from Yale. Natasha is a teenage girl who illegally moved to America, from Jamaica, as a child. While reading this book, I enjoyed going on a journey with the quirky characters. This book has a great storyline, along with many enjoyable parts, and some parts that should’ve been left out, in my opinion. I would recommend this book for many people. To begin, the story was very captivating and made me not want to put it down. Natasha believes …show more content…
If you enjoy reading John Green books, you would love to read The Sun is Also a Star. Both authors tend to write love stories with an epic twist. Usually, in love stories, the characters fall in love and live happily ever after. Green and Yoon both write unexpected endings. Young teens will love this book because of how relatable it is. There are teens in this book struggling to find their identity and to discover what they want to do when they grow up. Daniel, one of the main characters, is a passionate poet, but his parents want him to be a doctor. I think that many teens can relate to the feeling of having to please their parents. So, the readers would like to enjoy being able to connect with the characters and see how characters in the book cope with the same problems. I wouldn’t really recommend this book for kids because there are a lot of life situations that they wouldn’t be able to understand. For example, the struggles that a family of immigrants have might not be comprehended easily by kids. You need to be very mature to enjoy this book. There are many scenes where the characters will make out and if you’re not mature enough, you’ll just laugh and not comprehend the things happening in the

    William Adair's thesis focuses mainly on the central aspect of the novel, The Sun Also Rises, which is gossip. Throughout the novel, The Sun Also Rises, characters such as Jake would spy on others only to have information on the latest. Jake, for instance, was the main contributor about all the gossip, even spreading rumors about his own friend Cohn. Several months had passed before Jake took it upon himself to write a review of Cohn's novel with the intent to find more information to use against him. As readers progress through the novel, they'll slowly realize Jake's stories are not factual as he makes readers turn against Cohn or creates an ugly picture of Cohn's physical appearance.

    I think this book was one of the best books I have read. It’s funny, has action, and is serious at moments. It was written really well and kept me entertained the whole time reading it. The only thing I would change is at the end of the book it ends to fast and doesn’t really explain everything I was thinking of. Other than that it was an awesome book.…

    There are many reasons why the book is suitable for young adults. In my opinion, the book addresses the immediate issues facing the people. The books address the issues of domestic violence, drug abuse, racism, poverty, sexuality, and murder (Alexie, page 7). I tend to agree with the manner the book present the issue, such that some of the readers confesses that the YA book is the only novel they have ever read in its entirety. Alexie writes…

    The first reason it should be read is it portrays the life of kids that are around our age. It’s a eye opener, what I mean by this is it shows you that not only you are going through hardships in your life, which can be very relatable to some students. For example one connection students could make is they might have been beaten just like Johnny was by a 2 x 4. Another connection students could make is to Ponyboy, he lost his parents so he lives with…

    There has been a district hint of winter in the London air over the past few weeks. The days are becoming visibly shorter, and the temperature is dropping rapidly. The beginning of December is fast approaching, thus, we are only a few weeks away from the Winter Solstice - the time of the longest night and the shortest day. It is at this point in the year where the dark triumphs, but only briefly. For the Solstice is also a turning point. From then on, the nights begin to grow shorter and the days grow longer. The dark reluctantly wanes and the sun grasps at its chance to show us its true wonders. Christmas is just a little over a month away, with London surrounded by the crisp, frosty air that dances throughout our streets and nips at our toes. Christmas lights appear to be floating in the sky as we stroll along the bustling streets – seemingly hidden by the daylight and yet come alive against the darkness of the night sky. Despite all this, modern British winters in London are far from the winters that London experienced between…
