To kill a mocking bird chapters 16-19

The trial starts in chapter 16. I believe that Bob Ewells made those bruises on the girl's face because he is left handed and the bruises were on the right side of the girl's face. In chapter 18, the trial continues. I think Mayella is faking the whole thing about Tom Robinson rapping her. I think this because in the chapter when Atticus examines her testimony, he asks how Tom Robinson could have bruised the right side of her face with his left hand that was torn apart by a cotton gin whenhe was a boy. Then when i read chapter 19, i was happy to find out that i was right, and that Mayella was faking the whole thing about being raped by Tom Robinson.

The Woman Warrior #3

It was sad how Moon Orchid became crazy. I felt sorry for her. Brave Orchid may have came to America but her thought process did not change. She still thought very Chinese and did not consider that the marriage system was different in America. It was hard to determine if she had a loving relationship with her children. The book was very interesting . It was intriguing how they considered people as ghosts. At first I thought the ghosts they referred to were all dead people or supernatural forces. That is an interesting way of looking at people.

The Woman Warrior #2

Chinese are frugal and I admire that about them. The Chinese Americans are half American and half Chinese or full-blooded Chinese who grew up in America. I have friends who are Philippine American who are half and half like me or pure blooded pinoy, but they just grew up in America. Oftentimes Asians would rather have their children adopt the American way of life and make them forget their Asian heritage. I can speak all three languages english,tagalog and bisaya unlike my friends who are pure blooded. I am saying this because I can relate to the girls in the book. Last year , a friend of my mom told me to marry her son so he could come to America. She said that her son would pay for my college tuition if I married him because I have papers so I could petition him as my fiancee. My mom told me that it is my choice who I marry and no one can take that away. I am grateful for my mother for considering my happiness. Other Asian parents can be a lot worse. I would say that I am a perfect balance and enjoy both cultures.

The Woman Warrior #1

I realized that Chinese life is not like what I used to think it was like. I had not realized that the thing about Chinese girls being considered as a waste was true and I had always thought that was an exaggeration. In fourth grade, there was a teacher at our intermediate school who had adopted a Chinese girl and our teacher told us how girls babies were murdered at birth in China and something about only two children per household. Since I am a girl , this book does appeal to me and I consider myself lucky that my parents do appreciate me. It must have been hard growing up being told that when you are old enough, you are expected to be a slave or a wife.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky #3

I wish Brick or Jamie never ran away. I wish the boy just told everything. Rachel should have investigated her past. Rachel should have asked more questions and defended herself. I did not like how the book ended, it left me hanging.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky #2

It does not make sense how people at Rachel's school judged her too quickly. I didn't like how the grandma did not explain things to Rachel about her life before the accident. I wish the father visited Rachel because maybe all she needed was a father in her life. I wish the other characters explained more things to Rachel.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky #1

It was very hard to start reading the book,but it became interesting after a while. Rachel called herself the new girl and that confused me at first. The grandma seemed to have multiple personalities. It was confusing how the book changed perspectives and left me hanging on certain parts. Peoples dispositions changed throughout the story.

Paper Towns #3

I was shocked at the end of the book. Not all of my assumptions came true. The ending was vague and I disliked that, but then again I do not know how to end stories. Margo likes mystery,but if she did not want to be found, she could have told Quentin. Maybe, Margo was not expecting that Quentin would actually figure out the message. This book reminded me of Going Bovine.

Paper Towns #2

I like how Margo's leaving of Orlando change people's personalities. Ben finally got a honeybunny. Lacey saw that life is not all high heels and dresses. Quentin lets his inner hero out. Quentin figures out that Margo has multiple personalities.

Paper Towns #1

I can imagine what it is like to be Quentin. He is so in love with Margo,but he can not really tell her because they were childhood friends. It is frustrating to have to decide whether to risk friendship for love or just let that possible romance fade away and then you regret it when you are older. Quentin has an inner personality that he is afraid to reveal because it goes against all the supposed and unseen rules of high school. You should just be yourself and not care how others judge.

A Long Way Down #3

After all they've been through, going on vacation and making a meeting to talk about their problems, they didn't notice that their lives were getting better already, because they now have each other. Martin see's that Cindy doesn't want him back, or near his kids, but he still has his friends and will not stop trying to see his kids. Maureen still has Matty to take care of, but she gets a job at a newspaper and her attitude is coming around. Jess and her parents are always going to fight, but now they have an understanding of where each other comes from, and they have big hopes that her sister is still out there. JJ is friends with his band again, which I predict they will try to make a comeback tour. I don't think they'll kill themselves ever, because they always have each other to lean on, no matter what, which is something rear to have.

A Long Way Down #2

On New Years Eve, the four of them all planned to kill themselves at the same pace. They had no idea who each other were, yet. Martin was the first one there, just as he was about to jump, Maureen interupted him, which delayed time. While they were talking out their plans, Jess came out and started screaming, but Martin just jumped on her becuase they werent suppose to  be there anyway. JJ was last,  but when he came he calmed down everyone. They talked, introduced themselves, and eventually decided that they shouldn't die that night.

A Long Way Down #1

At first, I didn't like how the author changed positions so much. It was confusing, but I got used to it. All four of them are extremly different, yet still have one thing left in common. They all hate their lives. Martin lost his family, and is famous for sleeping with a 15 year old girl. Maureen is a 50 year old mom, with a disabled son who can't speak, hear, and is basically sleeping all the time, he drags her down, and needs her 24/7. Jess is an 18 year old girl who just got out of a break up with her bofriend who treated her badly, and her sister ran away from home. JJ originally lived in America, but moved to England for his girlfriend, but they broke up, just like his band 'Big Yellow'. Now he is stuck as a pizza delivery boy in England.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time #3

When Chris started to let his father back into his life, I was kinda upset, because if that were me, I'd try to stay away with someone like that. However, after his dad dealt with the consequences, I didn't think he needed to be punished anymore. Christopher's life is back to normal now, he's doing better in school, he's living with both parents, and he's happier.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time #2

Now that Christopher has found out that his dad killed the dog, and had an affair with Mrs. Shears, and his mom had an affair with Mr. Shears, everything makes sense. His father was angry as Mrs. Shears, and thats why he killed her dog, and why he would lie to Chris about his mother. I am glad that he moved with his mom, and isn't talking to his dad, I would do the same too.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time #1

This book is about a boy named Christopher, who investigated in a murder that uncovered secrets about his parents. When he found out these secrets, he lost trust in his father and got answers for himself. When he found them, his whole world had changed. I liked this book a lot, because the author always knew how to keep you interested in the book. It never got boring because Christopher was constantly facing challenges about his parents.

Defending jacob 3

this i probably the saddest ending i have ever read on a book . it is crazy how a mom would kill herself and her own child. this probably shocked the father an depressed him . this book showed me that the world is sometimes unfair and bad things can happen. this book tells me i should stay out of trouble and avoid bad things.

defending jacob 2

I am very surprised at the level of work that jacobs dad is doing to find the evidence . because of one finger print jacob is accused of murder and his friends side they knew he did it and that was enough to get him in trouble.i think its unfair for the family to deal with this nonsense if jacob really is innocent . it is not right for his friends to just drop him like that.

defending jacob 1

i can't believe that jacobs friends don't trust him and the same with his mother. But alter all that his father still supported him and was trying to  prove  that he was not a murderer . it is confusing that jacobs mother won't trust her own son . i predict that this will have a huge effect at the end of the book.

Revolution #3

I can imagine what it's like to wake up and believe that I actually lived another life. It's interesting what Andi goes through and then wakes up from it remembering what happened clearly. I predict that people will try to persuade her that it was not real but that she will always believe that it was.
