Ashleys is starting Conviction
My favorite book from this year was Ana and the French Kiss. This book was my favorite book that I read because it always left you wanting to know what happens next. The main character Ana did not want to go to Paris, but by the end of the book it taught her how to be an independent woman and how to survive without her parents there to help her through everything. She learns how to adapt to a new place.

Conviction

I am comparing this book to The book Ana and the French Kiss. The characters in this book are kind of similar in the way that they both do not want to do something, but when they do it they are happy they did. In the book now she does not want to go to the wedding, but after she does, she is very happy she did. In the other book. Ana is happy that she moved to Paris because that is where she basically met her love.

If I could interview anyone from the book, I would interview Charlotte. I would ask her what it is like having a best friend who has a crush on her brother. She might say, that she does not like it, but then she

In the book, Ana and st. Claire are now a couple and they are deciding what colleges they are going to. Luckily, they are going to college very close so that they can still see each other. She is still having drama with her friend at home, but she still has all her friends in Paris that help her out. She gets so mad one night that she storms off and gets drunk.

Yes I would love to be a character in this story. I would insert myself as an existing character because even though there were some heartbreaks, she got to discover a new part of who she was and how to survive by herself in a foreign country. I would love to travel abroad someday and this is exactly what Anna did.

I think the purpose of writing this book was to show that teenagers can survive in a foreign country and that they can make friends easily. The audience is teenage girls. The author wrote this book because she wanted to show that some people are responsible enough to live in their own.Even though you do not have your parents with you your whole life, it is still good to have a relation ship with at least one of them.

I can relate to my character because for one, she is living at a boarding school, in France and two she is a senior in high school. She has made many new friends very fast and I am good at making friends in a quick period of time. She is very caring about her friends back home. She always writes them and keeps in touch. She is also learning a new language. She is new to the school so it is harder for her to fit in.

Anna just started at a new boarding school in Paris, France. She is a senior and knows no one at all so she is very nervous. When her parents leave, she starts sobbing and the girl down the hall hears and come to the door. Anna spends the whole night talking to her and the girl told her that in the morning, her other friends will come for breakfast. Anna runs in to a boy who is very cute with a British accent.

Ashleys is finished with Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
If I had the opportunity to interview one character, I would interview Rachel. I would ask her what her life was like before she was diagnosed and then what her life was like after. She might respond by saying that before she was just a normal girl who was healthy and didn't care what people thought of her. Then she could have said that she cared about what people thought of her, but now she was not as happy.

The main idea of what I read was that Greg, one of the main characters, was telling us about when he met Earl who is now his best friend. They were in kindergarten and they were playing together when Earl lied to Greg and told him that his brothers let him play inappropriate video games. When they got to earls house, his brothers taught Greg how to use the controllers. The brothers started playing the game together.

My personal favorite part in the book that I have read is when Greg and Earl accidentally get heigh by one of their teachers lunches which is soup. I like it because Greg, the person telling the story, puts a lot of detail to what is happening. My least favorite parts are when he is telling us about his life as a kid and also how much he hated high school. It makes it for me like I high school is going to be horrible

Ashleys is finished with Balancing Act
Yes I would like to be Domonique Moceanu because she is an inspiring gymnasts who could really help you see that it does take a lot of hard work to get to the olympics. She did struggle a lot throughout this book, like that her parents were very very poor, but they did everything they could to get Domoneque to follow her dreams. She also struggled with her friendships and with not being able to afford some of the com

First it was the junior nationals. If you got a certain score, you would make it to the event finals. I am in the climax and the falling action of this story. Junior nationals did not end up the way anyone wanted but they all ended up making it to the event finals. Dominique had the best routine which could land her a spot in the Olympic trials. Dominique had a great competition and was ready for the placing.

I really enjoyed this book because as a gymnast I can relate to it. I would give this book a nine because it has a lot of information but I would have liked to learn more about her leading up to the olympics. I would recommend this book to another gymnast because they would actually know what she is talking about.

I could find more about this book and the story of Dominique Moceanu by looking her up on the Internet and finding out more about what her life was like leading up to her going to the Olympics. I could also read a biography on her to learn more about her. Another idea is that if you look up how she got to the olympics, it would show you many things that got her there weather it was hard or easy she always tried.

The authors purpose of writing the book Paper Towns, is to persuade th children not to run away from home and is also trying no to entertain the reader. The message that he is trying to send is that kids should be able to have their own emotions and feelings without anyone getting in their way of doing that.

I can't relate to the main character in this book because one he's a boy and two he loves to read. Another reason why I cannot relate to him is because am not the kind of person who wants to wake up early to get to school, I like taking my time and getting ready for school slowly and not rushing.

I choose to read this book because I love John Green and the rest of his books especially The Fault in our Stars. Also, my friends recommended this book to me,. So far, this book had lived up to my expectations. I like this book because it always leaves me wanting more. When I say this I mean that I always want to read more.
