Text To Self, Bruiser


    I am reading about Bruiser, by Neal Shusterman. Bruiser is the main focus in this story. He is struggling to find a way. His uncle Holt has been beating him up, and everyone at school doesn't like him, except for his girlfriend, Bronte. Bronte has a brother about the same age, his name is Tennyson, smart but dumb in Bronte's eyes. He is very suspicious about Bruiser, Tennyson thinks that he is going to do something bad to his sister but he is starting to come through with them dating, and they start to become friends, but know odd things are happening to Tennyson because he is friends with Bruiser, so what will he do.
     
    Tennyson reminds me of me this is because, he is caring and helpful. When Tennyson saw bruiser almost getting beat up by his uncle, he stood up and yelled no. I feel like I am caring and helpful when it comes to others getting feelings hurt or are injured. This situation reminds me of when my sister gets her feelings hurt I will help who get through her situations.
     
    Some questions that I had when I was reading this book was, why was Bruiser hated? What did he do for so many people not to like him? Was it just because he was different?  I like the idea of how the chapters are set up because, you can see at the top of the page who that chapter is about, or who is going to be talking in that chapter.  Overall  I think this book is a very good book, and i suggest you read it and share your opinion about it.

Text to Text- The Maze Runner

          I am reading  The Maze Runner by James Dashner.  This story is about a boy named Thomas who was brainwashed and taken to a place called the Glades. Thomas was very curious on running in the maze inside the Glades. When he had the chance, Thomas went into the maze and became a runner. Thomas is starting to put together clues and messages he has found to why he went to the glades in the first place. He is now trying to decode a message that has been created, so he can stop the danger. Thomas and the other runners need to defeat the grievers, and what is happening to their world.           The scene where the ferocious creatures (grievers) come and are trying to break their way into the map room, reminds me of the book The Hunger Games . That specific scene reminds me of  The Hunger Games  because when the other creatures (mutts) come out from the forest, the characters were prepared as well, but struggled to...

Text to Text- The Girl Who Drank the Moon

         If you recall, I was reading The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill. Much has happened in the story since I last posted. The witch (Xan) calls the baby Luna and over the years Luna grows very powerful, but she doesn't know what she's doing. At about the age of five Xan has to put a spell on Luna to capture her magic and when Luna turns 13 her magic will come out. Unfortunately that means Xan will die. When it's close to Luna's birthday Xan leaves because she has to get the baby from the circle to take to the free cities. Luna goes out to look for her grandmother and ends up having an interesting adventure.          This book reminds me of the book Sleeping Beauty because both main characters has a spell cast on them. Luna's spell causes her to loose her magic until she turns 13 and Sleeping Beauty's spell cause her to sleep for a long time. There are also many other connections, such as, both stories have evil witches ...

Text to Self- The Maze Runner

           I am reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. This book's genre is post-apocalyptic. This book is about a teen named Thomas who came to this mysterious place called the Glades. He does not know where and why he is there. Thomas does not also know anything about his life anymore; he is completely clueless. Now that Thomas has been at the Glades for a while, he now knows there is a large maze with bad things inside. Thomas is not allowed to go inside the maze. However, Thomas said he wants to participate in being a runner.            The character Thomas reminds me of one of my friends because she is very outgoing. Therefore, Thomas is outgoing because he wants to be a runner in the maze.  Thomas also reminds me of myself because I am always very cautious of my actions in various situations. For example, when Thomas was very alert about some sort of "abyss", he did not take the risk of getting any closer. Inste...
