I have read different books through this whole class and the book that I am currently reading is the Child called it. This book is very emotional. It’s about a mother that mistreats and abuses their child. In my opinion, I thought that it was really sad that I child couldn't eat, talk or even associate with friends. The teenager that I am, I can’t even imagine the things that he went through. He also had to steal food from his own school just to survive. The mother was drunk and had her own problems. Although she had other kids, she treated him the worst.
My personal reaction was in shocked because it was actually a true story and to know that a child had to go through that for no reason. It also touched my heart because it made me think to myself that I could actually have it bad then my life already is. It also taught me to appreciate everything that I receive. To even imagine the hurt, the pain, the heartache that this kid had to go through makes me feel so bad.
I really don’t think the author had a big intention on writing this story, because the author is the person that was getting mistreated by his mother. I felt like he was sharing his story because he was now free from what his mother was doing to him. He finally came out of the stage in life where he can share his life hardship with the world because he is now a better person and that’s why I think he wrote this book.

The book that I am reading now is Chasing destiny. Her name is Billie her first problem is simple. She's pregnant. Her second problem is that her lover Keith is still married. Keith has some things in his life that are dark and duplications enough to take matters into their own hands, determined to keep Billie from having her baby. Billie suddenly finds herself confronted, attacked, run off high-ways, threatned and shadowed.
My personal reaction, is that how can a person go through so much and not have anyone care for them. Even though I like books that have alot of drama in them, I also like books that have a great outcome towards the end. My other personal reactions, is that i feel as if i have experienced something similar the Billie goes through & destroy any enemy that comes in my way. Even though Billie has to go through alot of pain and stuff she still remains herself and overcomes anything that comes through her way. I see myself as Billie, i actually would want to meet her , if she was real person.

I also believe that the author's intent in writing this story brings out what he went through in his life or has been through or seen, as he says in his bio. He also likes writing stories, where people find themselves, so i think thats one of the main reasons, why he wrote this story. Stories that symbol someones life as a great view and that goes through things and fights through them, teaches young teens that they can do the same. Those are my reasons why i think that it is has main intent!

The new book that I am reading, is called the parda's plan. This book is about a character named Nilla that battles with this girl that wants to be just like her all her life. At a young age her mother died and her father went to jail. Her parents were in a very bad business, where left her no one to stay, because her parents didn't have contact with anyone. The main idea for the passage is that nilla love parda purses and she needs to find a plan. Her life was rough, but she has to find a perfect plan to become successful person.
My personal reaction to this story, I would have to stay that my heart gave out to this girl because she had a hard life and she has no one to talk too, no family! No nothing! It mainly taught me to appreciate life and don't take anything for granted. Having everything in the world, doesn’t bring you happiness or meaning that you will have happiness. It also brings me such hope because at the end, she ends up finding a good outcome and someone to love.
The pattern or organization I would have to say is that its more of a cause and effect situation. A lot of the causes in this story ends up in an a bad effect or where the character, has to sacrifice a lot of things because of what the mother has caused and she has to deal with all of the effects.

The book that I am reading currently is Love is Pain. It's about a 16 year old girl and a 17 year old boy. There life has been miserable since they were young kids. All in all they find hope in there relationship, because they feel as if, noone cares for them. They parents are low-lifes, they work minium wage jobs and always blame there kids because they made bad decisions and mistakes. Even though the struggle is hard and depending on where life may take them is all in there hands. Teenage love is very little and can be bvery diffcult.  They decide to get a place together, when they turn 18, to block everything out. The love will never end.

My personal reaction to the story makes my feel a sense of sadness and thoughts that go through my head, that love can be found in any age. Also having hope and faith in someone you love can make you feel like you have someone to care about and someone that can care for you. I also feel the story gives information about people that are inlove and how to cope with people in your family that dont agree.
The type of notes that I would use are bubble thoughts because, all the characters feelings are in thoughts, and each character would be listed in what they say or how they feel in the bubble, which is basically there mindset. Each character, has there own way of viewing things and are able to interpet them in there own way.
