Pretty Little Liars: Book One Finished!

My book review for Pretty Little Liars:
     Pretty Little Liars is a series of books about four girls whose best friend is murdered and they are getting tortured by texts and emails that they get from A. The first book was very good and I read it whenever I could. It was very slow though. It was only the first two episodes of the TV series. Each character is very interesting and they each have their own secrets. Each character is dealing with a few challenges in their everyday life. Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Hanna are very different, but come together by one person, Alison and The Jenna Thing. It is an easy read and it keeps you guessing. It was a very good book and I look forward to reading the next one.

Pretty Little Liars: Book 1

I was going to do a prompt about text-to-text connections and symbols, but I honestly I couldn't think of any book that is like Pretty Little Liars. So instead, I decided to match a character from Pretty Little Liars and assign them to a fraction from Divergent. Aria would be amity because of how she tries to keep peace with in her family. Emily would be abnegation because she thinks of others before herself. Spencer would be erudite because she is very intelligent and tries to be the best at everything. Hanna is very hard to put into a faction, I feel as if she would be Divergent. Hanna isn't exactly any of these specifically, but she is all of them at times so far. What do you guys think these characters would be faction-wise in Divergent?

Pretty Little Liars: Book 1

I chose this book because my friend, Abigail Bromley, recommended it to me. I saw it at the store and decided I would try to read it. I was deciding to read the book or not because it wasn't in first person and for some reason, I only like books in first person. I like reading this book though because it seems like  the writing is in first person by showing feelings and thoughts. I watched some of series then stopped because I decided I wanted to read the books. I am reading this first book out of the series pretty quickly, but this book is very, very slow. It is just the first and a half of the TV shows.

Krista Ramsey Introduction Activity

This column was about how protective and how loving mothers are towards their child. It also mentions how every woman has motherly instincts (mother bear).

"Good mothers are made, not born. Age, background and income level matter very little. Willingness to hold, talk to, read to, listen to, protect and love their child means everything." (Ramsey). This has syntax because the sentence carries on. I feel like this is a very important line in this column because it shows what really matters to a child, what is important and really needed. I feel like this really describes my mom and every mom around me.

The syntax of this column is somewhat thudded. An example of this is, "Really. Don't hesitate to ask. We've all had to figure this stuff out." (Ramsey). This is thudded because it uses a lot of periods and has short sentences.

Questions:
       So as a teenager, do I have motherly instincts, too? Or do I just get them when I have a kid? Was I born with them?
       Do you believe that men should like to dress up?
       Do you agree with the thought that technology effects your eyesight?

I Finished Twilight!

How did the author build suspense through out the book?
       The author built suspense by Bella figuring more things out Edward and Jacob. By figuring out about Edward and what he is, it gets her in sticky situations and she almost dies! Bella hasn't figured out who Jacob is yet, but it hints at the end of the book and when he tells her the old myths and stories about Forks. The author building suspense was very effective because it made me want to keep reading.

Is the vocabulary any different from other books?
        The vocabulary from this book is only different when Edward or his family speaks, they speak more formal like they are from an older time period.

Is there any songs that remind you of this book?
        They  have a sound track for this book already, but I would include Christina Perry A Thousand Years or something from an older time period that reminds me of Edward.
