Book Report #5

For my final book report I read Night, I had to read for Socials 11 and I found it to be very disturbing. When I had begun reading it and the writer who was narrating his point of view being in it, wrote that they had thrown babies in the air using them for disk targets. That was probably the most disgusting things I had read throughout the novel. I cannot believe how heartless someone can be to actually throw a baby in the air for target practice just because they are Jewish. I was beyond disgusted. The whole book was very disturbing but I am glad I read it to get more insight on the holocaust. The writer did a really good job describing how the people felt around him and what it was like to really be there. Although the book was disturbing I still enjoyed and learning more information about the Nazis.

Book Report #4

Someone Like You is the other book I read about two best friends. One of their boyfriends is killed in a motorcycle accident and Scarlett finds out she is pregnant with his child. Her friend Halley stays by her side and stays a true friend to her. I found this book very moving, and really showed true friendships. It was a sad novel but the plot was complex and very interesting. It kept me on my toes and it was unpredictable which was good. The relationship shown between the two friends was incredible; the friend Halley was to Scarlett was admirable. I would recommend this book although it is sad; it is very good book to read.

Book Report #3

Another book I enjoyed reading was Dear John, I found this book very romantic and not predictable which was nice. After reading this book I did see the movie and found it was not comparable at all to the book. I loved the relationship that John and Savannah showed in the book, and how each time he came back from combat they fell more and more and more in love. The letters they wrote to each other were very romantic and realistic. The writer of Dear John also wrote from a walk to remember. He is very good at finding realistic relationships although at times they are sad. His style of writing is very interesting to read and he makes me want to never put the book down. I would recommend this book to someone but before they see the movie, and also to not go see the movie. This book is also here in our library which is a plus :)

Book Response #2

The next book I really enjoyed. This book was in chapters and was only 4 dollars but I still found it very, thrilling, realistic and exciting. If you’re seeing a pattern I enjoy reading realistic books! In this book it's about three best friends and each view of their lives and relationships with their family and friends. The author of the book is Megan Stine, I enjoyed the way she wrote the book since each three best friends were viewed and narrated. Each friend had a completely different personality and things they were dealing with, within their lives. Most of the book is about gearing up to their big prom night, and the prom night itself. Many secrets and non expecting things happen the night of prom. Once I had started reading the part when they went to prom, I had to finish the rest. This book is one of my favourites; I enjoyed the plot and the characters and overall dynamic of the book.

Book Report- He's Jus Not the into You

This book was written by Greg Behrent and Liz Tuccillo. This book was about different relationships of couples and the dynamics of their relationships. It showed many different views and types of relations that can happen. Including ones with affairs, romanic ones, and ones where the relationship was just falling apart all together. I found this book very entertaining and realistic in the end. The book shows you the failures, and identifys when "he's just not that into you". They almost give the reader advice and directions to do with a man. I enjoyed this book found it comical and realistic, it was short but I wouldn't want to read a long book about someone not being that into you.

Library Review

The library I reviewed was Southridge Secondary; which is a private school. From over viewing their library I was surprised to not see very much detail and content within the website. I had figured since they are promoting for parents for their children to attend to the school that they would have put more of an effort into showing the library which is a core area for learning throughout schooling but that was not the case. Their library focuses on how it originated and developed and not actually about what the library has to offer today. I noticed our website is much more complex and has a better image of promoting reading and encouraging coming to the library. Southridge’s library honestly did not have a lot to offer or see on their page, although they did have a gallery of images of their library but that was it. I thought I would have been more impressed but the layout and the content of ours is much more enhanced. Our library’s website lists what it has to offer to the students, the way you can locate books (dewey system), YouTube videos to promote new books in the library, and other important information you need to know.
