Writers as Readers

2. I’ve noticed I go for the girly love stories. I like when the character is having a problem with life, like her mom or sister dying or cancer, or just anything giving her a negative look on life. I love how she gets her life together and gets happy. It also helps that she gets the girl because if she didn’t, what’s the point of reading a depressing story? I love how they get through it with someone who cares about them and changes them for the better I love how someone swoops in and changes the way they look at life.

                                                                          one of my best memories with reading is when I would sit and read for hours a day reading. I read “the Hate List” and that story was sad. It was a boy going in to their school and shooting everyone on a list. It was so sad, but I wanted to know what was happening. I kept reading and reading and reading. I was so into the story and I just remember reading it constantly. I wanted to fish the book but I didn’t want to be done with the story.

5. When I read “Sea”, I didn’t want to stop. I loved the whole story. She thought she loved one boy but really loved the other boy more. I loved the whole idea of working with victims in an orphanage. From all the parts about the tsunami, and the constant rain and sneaking away at bight with a boy. I just couldn’t stop reading. I always wanted to read it. It crushed me whenhad to finish because I wasn’t mentally done.

8. My favorite book is “The Man Who Loved Clowns” I connected with this story more than I  ever have. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s setting and base of the story is in and around where I live or if the words spoke to me. I can see exactly what roads she’s talking about and places she visits. I can imagine her house and when I think of the way I imagined her house, I can see the way I thought it looked from when I read this book in 5^th grade. This story has stuck with me and made me feel like I knew Punky. I’ve never been so into this book. I’m having such a hard time trying to explain how deeply I feel about this book.

9 when I finished reading “the Fault in Our Stars I felt sad because that was the most depressing let down of a story there ever was. I hated John Green but at the same time, I loved him.  That book got me all worked up and bubbly and then it popped every single bubble that I had. I thought thye would last forever together and I certainly didn’t think that the character that died, would die. And when that character died, my whole world crashed and I was depressed for a solid week. That book was amazingly awful.
