Reading Response

The book I am reading right now is called The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. It about a girl named Hazel who has cancer. She has had it for a while and should have died a while back, but stuck it through. One day at her cancer support group a boy named Augustus shows up for the first time. She is immediately caught in his charm.
So far I really like this book. My personal question for it "What would it be like?"
What would it be like to have cancer and survive like Hazel did. What would it be like to associate with a lot of people that  have cancer and listen to their stories?

Exciting

This Sunday was my little brother's 8th birthday party. His birthday was in the beginning of June, but we didn't have another good time to have it, so we had it a lot later. The party was at a place called Cajun Lagoon, in Denham Springs.  The place is a giant man-made pond with all kinds of water blow ups. Another thing it has is a giant triangle Iceberg that you climb then slide or jump off of. It has giant slides that you slide off of and into the water. Blobs which is when someone sits at the end of the half inflated rectangle and another persons jumps onto the other end so the first person flies up into the air. It has trampolines that you can jump on. And a lot of obstacle courses. Ellie O'Brien came with me to the party and we had a fun time.

This year I am setting goals to accomplish, some academic some personal. I really want to start off high school right with my grades, so it doesn't sneak up on me later on. I will try my hardest to accomplish all As, and if not all As, then strong Bs. I would really love to make the Head Master's List freshman year. I will try my hardest to try not to procrastinate and do my work ahead instead of waiting until the last minute. I will also give and effort and try to focus in class. I will always be truthful about my work, and never take credit for someone else's work. I really want to pull through and get into a great college.

I really enjoyed reading Veronica Roth's book Divergent this summer. It was one of the best books I have ever read. Better than the Hunger Games series honestly. I liked it for many different reasons. One main reason was Tobias and Tris's relationship. While I was reading the book I was really like in love with them. I cried at the end of the book when Tobias tried to kill her and then her voice woke him up. I also really liked how they acted around each other. They were so sweet. And even though they were dating Tobias didn't favor her more than any one else during the training. He also always wanted to protect her. He helped her hide that she was Divergent when he found out about it. He was always strong for her, but he opened up to her like he had never done to anyone else before. He let her go through his fear landscape and let her help him get through his fears. I was kind of obsessed with them throughout the book.

In the book I really liked the main character Tris. I liked how the author showed her development throughout the book. She showed her trying to find who she is seperated from her family by her choosing another faction. I liked how in the beginning Tris was scared and from Abnegation which was the quietest faction. She then chose Dauntless, which is the complete opposite of Abnegation. It shows how she wants to find herself, especially since she is a teenager. Out of all of the books I have ever read this by far was my favorite book.
