Text to Text-Until Friday Night

     Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines. This book is about a girl (Maggie) that had a problem with her past life, she felt guilty of what happened, so she started to close her self from the world and not talk to anyone. After she had been in a house that would help her not go crazy, she moved back to her home town and lived with her Uncle and her Aunt. She hadn't been to a public school in awhile, after her first day at school everyone started to make fun of her because she didn't talk to anyone. The following days she had gone to school and got help from her cousin (Brady), all the boys at the school started to catch their eyes, one guy (West) started to try and get her to talk, and it worked (she only talked to him because he was making her mad). West had problem's of his own, his dad had cancer and was dying. At first West just wanted to be friends with Maggie, but then he started to grow on to her. He had always wanted her there with him. At the end he had calmed he his "girlfriend" and Maggie started to talk to people now and she had liked her world now that West had came into it, and West liked his world now.
     The character reminds me of someone I know because one of my friend had been silent and didn't talk to anyone because she didn't know anyone but me in the school.She had been very attached to me because she thought that people were going to make fun of her and do things to her. After awhile she started to be more open to people but not talk to them, she had got asked a lot of questions, but never let anyone talk to her. She had liked this guy and she would always talk about him when she was alone. She had started to talk to her crush and she had been very attached to him. Then, she had started t talk to everyone because her crush had encouraged her to open up and let people get t know her and who she really is. Now she is one of the most confident person that I know.
     I love the way that the book had been formatted and how it laid out. I also like the book because it has two different perspectives, and it makes the book more interesting. The book also pulls in the reader because of how much detail in the book.

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...
