Nevermore 

              In the book, Nevermore by James Patterson, the main character Max faces a love triangle, a tragedy, and a problem that she never imagined. And she deals with all, of it inside her head, until she can't handle it anymore and goes on a berserk rampage.The first problem she encounters is when Fang, part of the flock and until recently was Max's boyfriend- returns, all bloodied up and wounded, Max rushes to help him. But there is a problem. Dylan- a clone, who was created to be Max's "perfect half"- wants out of the picture, and knows that  Max will never forgive him, but it has to be done. I think that if he knows what Max really thinks of him then, he won't have a reason to kill Fang, and everybody is safe.

                            Another example is when Dylan took Max to the Arch De Triomphe and told her his feelings about losing Angel (one of the flock members who recently was killed in a bombing in Paris) and told her that she should just let her feelings out,because if you don't you will explode. And he is right because you can't hide everything you're feeling on the inside. Max uses sarcasm (actually a lot) because she's afraid of what her flock will say to her because she's kind of responsible for them ,and if she cry  about every single little thing, then they will start following her because she's the leader and the oldest and, well, the smartest of the entire flock.

And then another time Max was talking to her Voice (she has a Voice inside her head) and she couldn't take it anymore, so she decided to cut herself, to distract herself from the annoying Voice. See? that's what you get for bottling up your emotions too much.Crazy, annoying things, can lead to dangerous thing, but she didn't actually cut herself, Fang stopped her from getting the knife into her hand. I can relate, because sometimes I hide things from my friends, and no matter how much they persuade me, no matter how much they bribe me, annoy, I don't tell them. Its okay to do it sometimes, because you don't want to share to other people,that's perfectly okay, but doing it all the time, like Max, and replacing it with, like sarcasm, then you might end up killing yourself . What do you guys think?   

                                            The Splendor Falls

           

                          In this book, The Splendor Falls by Rosemary Clement-Moore , there are many changes from the beginning of the book to the end of the book. For example, the main character, Sylvie, is going through a tough time settling in Alabama, because she's not used to the country life. She has to live here  for a month until she's like old self again. Until she is completely healed from the Accident (the accident, which I mean is when she broke her entire leg while performing ballet). Then she realizes that there is more to it than, meetings, food,and well, more food. She finds out that there is a spirit lingering upon them. She is then terrified so much sh decided that she can't handle the pressure of being the crazy one in town, so she decided  in the middle of the night, she sneaks out of her house, goes into the woods and almost kills herself. Almost. She was rescued by a mysterious man- boy- named Rhys, who was obviously hiding something from her that he thinks Sylvie doesn't want to know, and at first, she was irritated that nobody was being honest with her, then at the end  she was comfortable being in Alabama, but she still doesn't know what to do with Shawn Maddox, a boy that she likes very  much, but when a Davis and Maddox get together, people thinks that it is good luck,and Rhys a mysterious boy that people drool all over whenever he says hi.

She can't decide which boy she likes, but then later she finds out that Shawn, a social butterfly with all of the townspeople, had hid something from her as well. She found out the reason Shawn was being so nice to her. He thinks that Sylvie can do magic and he wants her magic. He thinks she can do anything if she wants to, he says he can feel it, and Rhys knows it too.For example, she can make herself dance again, and never came to to Alabama in the first place. But she knows that there is an ulterior motive behind this. And Sylvie is going to figure that out, even if it kills her. Then she realizes that Shawn is mental, even more crazier than her, and that's saying something. For the past weeks, she's been seeing ghosts,or what she thought it was. But this, she thought, this is like the beyond the line, and somehow she feels better knowing there is someone crazier than her.So she decided to be with Rhys, even though he is clearly hiding something from Sylvie. But her problems are just beginning...

I believe that relationships can change within the book. It can also happen with people. For example,  you might know a person who really hates you, but later on, you might like that person, and that person might like you back, after all this time. It's true it can happen to you.It happens all the time, not just in books.      

                           City Of Bones 
         I just finished reading City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare and the character Jace has a lot of  internal problems in this book. I already read all the books in the series, but I loved this book so much, I had to read it again. On the out side, you think that he doesn't care, he even will look bored to some people. But on the inside he actually cares.He just has a funny way of showing it. So, if you meet anyone like him, don't be offended because on the inside he actually cares.
 
       For example, when he first met Clary, he looked like uninterested, but later on in the series, he tells her that when he first laid eyes on her, he felt alive for the first time, like all this time has all been a dream and he didn't care about it until now,when he met her at Pandemonium. (a nightclub.) And when he said he wasn't Valentine's son, but he was possessed and you don't even know how much arguments that caused. Another one is when Jace is using sarcastic comments to hide his emotions, like when he's speaking to Simon, Clary's best friend, you could tell he really hates him just by the description of the way he talkks to people, but with Clary it's like a whole different side of him took over his other half of his body, and the next thing you know is he's all friendly and gentle and nice. But when he's in battle, fighting demons, he's like a demon himself, but on the good side. With him, it depends on the type of person he talks to, so he thinks its easier for him. Each person brings out a different side of him. Clary brings out the gentleness of him, Alec, brings out the toughness in him, Isabelle brings out the protectiveness in him and Simon brings out the irritating side of him.

                   So overall, you shouldn't bottle up your feelings, you should let him out, so in the end you wouldn't up like Jace. He is one seriously crazed up kid., because he saw his father die when he was 10 years old, but then he found out the girl he loved was actually his sister,and his father was alive. I think I know why Jace is like that because he has so many traumatizing memories he always recalls to the past. I mean he's been possessed,like what how many times? I mean, come on , how would you feel if you saw you're own father who you thought was dead for 17 years come back and possess you and you don't even know it? I understand that Jace didn't have the best father in the world, but would you have a father who despised you of all your life and tried to take over the world? that is really messed up. So, you shouldn't hide your feelings, no matter what you remember or how you were raised.      

              
              Am I Blue?
              

        After reading Am I Blue,by Bruce Coville,I believe that gay people shouldn't hide for who they are, just because they're afraid what other people will think. People should just accept who they are. They think everyone is equal, like its wrong to be gay, but deep inside them, they're just as gay as the next person. They just don't know it yet. For example, when Vincent, the main character gets the gaydar, a automatic sensing system that lets you know that person is gay or not, he sees everyone blue which indicates that they're gay. Even he has blue on himself. See, not everyone is who they think they are. Even Bruce Carrigan, the bully who beats up Vincent almost everyday, is gay, because he trying to act tough , to hide the feeling that he is secretly gay,but, guess what buddy? everyone else all around you is gay.

           Another example is when Melvin, the fairy godfather says to Vincent that he had the same problem when he was young, he was beaten up everyday just because he was different from society,and that is how he got turned into a fairy godfather, because of the problem that Vincent is facing right now. He even says to him, that "I walk and talk because I'm not going to let anyone else define me", he means that people who thinks they're not gay shouldn't control their lives. They should be proud for who they are. Its nice to have some diversity  It's boring to be the same all the time. Normal is overrated. Gay people are a special kind of people. They should be with the one they love. 

           At the end he, Vincent, truly accepts the way he is , with the help of his godfather, Melvin and the gaydar, and his three wishes. The first one was used on his coffee, the second one was used on to turn everyone ,coast to coast, blue to see what people make of it. Soon they figured it out. And his last wish was to turn Butch into blue, but he has still one more wish to go, because he was already blue the next day when he saw him. Vincent decided to accept the truth, after all this time. Since everyone else is gay.so in the end he wants to use his last wish on a guy thats perfect for him.                                                                

         Percy Jackson and the Olympians:The Last Olympian

         
  I just finished reading the last book of the Percy Jackson series, and that was a very good ending to the series. I know that Rick Riordan is making another series continuing after this one, but out of all the books of the series, this book was my favorite, not because the war between the Gods and the titans, but that was pretty suspenseful, but overall, the book made me see what the Greek Gods were like at that time. For example, the cause of the entire war was about a lot of demigods, who felt abandoned by their parents. They felt angry, resentful and unloved. It makes me think that the Gods were too busy to see what their own kids are doing,like wreaking havoc in the mortal world. It also makes me think that they have a good reason to be mad. I mean I wouldn't like it if my my mother or father had abandoned me when I was young. Would you like it if that was you?

               And another example of what the Gods were at that time was Zeus, the God of thunder, Poseidon, the God of the sea, and Hades, the God of the dead, made a big pact not to have kids anymore, so they wouldn't have to worry about their kid making a decision of the entire fate of the gods, well, that didn't work anyway, because all of them broke their pact almost immediately. It made me think that the Gods were not trustworthy. And they shouldn't leave their kids undetermined, I mean that they waited basically almost their whole lives to know who their mother of father is.They have been unwise to ignore their children.It was just that reason that almost caused their destruction.

            The main character Percy thinks that, even after three thousand years, Gods can still change their nature. I'm not sure I believe that. It was because of the Gods that they were almost wiped out of the Western civilization, it was because of the Gods so many demigods are dead. It was because of the gods that Kronos almost destroyed Olympus. After everything that happened, it was the gods fault. And he thinks that the gods can change their nature. I have to say that Percy has great spirit to people that caused the destruction that almost destroyed the world.    

                                                     

             
           THE HOST

 After I had read the book, The Host by Stephanie Meyer, I was amazed at how a simple book had moved me. It was about a world of souls that take over the human race. Then there was this one soul, named Wander, nicknamed Wanda,, has a human host like no other. In fact this human host can actually talk to her after falling off an elevator shaft, to save her family from insertion. Then she goes on an adventure to find her family, and when she does she is treated  like a prisoner, the exact opposite that Wanda and Mel thought. But after a couple of days she gets more and more comfortable in the space Jeb, the owner of the house,Ian who has a crush on Wanda , and Jared, who was until, recently, Mel's boyfriend, and Jaime, who was Mel's brother. After two deaths, she realizes she cannot stay here- well, not in this body because there is no space for both of them, Mel and Wanda. And so, like all the other times before, she is going to another planet where there aren't any resistance.Wanda thought that was the end of her ninth life, but they bring her back in the end, and Melanie is back in her body.

           

          This book had changed me for a reader. The moral of this story was to never take life for granted even if your life was taken by someone else.This was a suspenseful book, it had such a climax in each of the chapter, my favorite climax was when Wanda decided to give herself up for the seeker's life, a seeker is basically a soul's guardian, they take care of the soul. The saddest part was when Walter died and they had to give him an overdose of morphine and the funeral. I almost cried at that part, and again at the part when Wes was killed by Wanda's seeker. And at the very last part when Wanda decided to give herself up. I almost thought that was the end of the book, but they brought her back to life.And happily ever after.
