Text to self Bruiser

      I am reading the book Bruiser by Neal Shusterman. Bruiser is a book about a girl named Brontë who feel in love with a guy named Brewster. The only thing is there is something that he is hiding from her. One day when she was passing by the locker room  and she saw his back and it had all these scars on it.  Later on her way home she saw where he lived and she saw that his uncle whom he lived with was about to whip his Brewster's brother with a belt. As soon as she saw that she jumped to the conclusion that his uncle was beating him but when she asked him he and his brother denies it and they go move on to a different subject. She wonders if she will ever know what he is hiding from her.

    Brewster reminds me of myself because of his personality. No, don't have all these scars down my back or the magical power to take peoples injuries, I may have a few scars but not as many as him. The thing about him that I can really make a connection with  is the fact that he isn't very open when it comes to talking to people about how he feels. He has a very closed personality. He isn't the type of person who you will find socializing with other people. Especially people he doesn't know because he stays away from people and that's where all the rumors come from.

     I love the way that the book pulls you in and if your like me and you have a connection with one of the characters you will really like it. The book will pull you in with the gravitational pull that they story gives out as you read the story.  I really like how the author came up with the idea to do a book like this. The book is really interesting and has a good lesson that will for sure help you sometime in your lifetime. This story teaches that you should always get to know someone before you judge them like Brontë did with Brewster. Everyone has always made the assumption that he is so mean, and bad news when really there was a reason that he stayed away from everybody. He is actually a really nice and caring person. I think that this is a great book from what I've read so far and it keeps getting better and better and along with that the lesson becomes clearer and your respect for the characters becomes stronger.

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...
