Lights Out

"When one door closes another door opens"

           The book "Skinny" is written by Donna Cooner. Skinny is a mean and cruel voice that is inside a teenage girl named Ever. Skinny tells Ever what people think about her and makes sure that she know's no one will ever love her. But the thing is Ever weighs over three hundred pounds. Ever's voice is strong and beautiful. But she and no one can see that because Skinny has made sure her voice stayed silent. Ever decides to go ahead and get weight lose surgery also it called gastric bypass surgery. Will ever be able to lose weight with Skinny around ?

           I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm not the skinniest person so at times I feel the same way Ever does. I often feel judge by the way I look and how my body is. Which is partly why I don't like speaking in front of my classmates. What I really liked about the book was that it has a Cinderella twist to it. But in this story Cinderella does make it to the ball and the stepsister and stepmother aren't so evil.This one of my favorite books now also.

                                                        

"Paper has more patience than people"

        The non-fiction book I read this quarter was "The Diary of Anne Frank". The diary is about how her and her Jewish family went into hiding during World War Two. They use to call their hiding place the "Secret Annex".Along with the Frank family there were the Van Daan's. Mr and Mrs Van Daan and their son Peter joined the Franks and then later on came Mr.Dussel. The diary was basically about how she lived in hiding and everything that was going on in World War Two.Each diary entry is fulled with so many emotion that keeps making you want to read.But the real question is will she get caught and be sent to the concentration camps?
         I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved that it had a little romance and how it always had me on my feet. But I really liked knowing she was our age not to mention a teenage girl. She understand what we're all feeling or what some girls feel or go throw. Like want a boyfriend or wanting to fall in love. But I also enjoy reading about things that have to do with World War Two. Although it is a sad topic it's so interesting. It's also a first hand testimony on what happened during World War Two and how every one was feeling and the struggle. This book will forever be one of my favorite books.

                                                               

No One's Perfect

I wouldn't say I have a lot of things I regret. Partially because once you do something no matter how much you regret it you can't take it back well at least that's how I think of it. I hardly regret things not telling that one guy my true feelings because that's not something so dramatic although in some cases it is really important. I regret not taking every opportunity that I have. In my head I think "eh not taking once chance won't hurt" but then later on I regret not taking it. Although some of those opportunities aren't the best but we learn from out mistakes. Which is why I don't have many regrets because every decision teaches me something. Obviously if I could go back and take all the opportunities I've had I would take the chance and done them.But maybe I have to develop not to be shy and scared which is completely fine.Just have to break out of my shell.

What do you regret?
