tuesdays with Morrie

I really enjoyed reading "tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It was an interesting book, but I also found it very sad. Morrie had a very sad and poor childhood. When he died it was very sad. Every chapter in his young life brung sadness and dissapointment. When he got older he had a better life. He became a college proffesser and had a great relationship with one of his students, Mitch, which who couldnt respect at the time.Tuesdays with Morrie has its ups and downs but overall I didnt enjoy reading it. It was a good book but it wasnt my kind of read. I would rate this book as a 6 or 7.

The Things They Carried Blog

When I first started reading "The Things They Carried" I really enjoyed reading it. This is the first book I've read that I have really liked. I love movies and book's that have to do with war so this was a perfect read for me. This book was very detailed so it made everything very interesting. Tim O' Brien did a very good job writing this book. I like reading the different stories. Reading the same book is alright but I would rather read different stories like these.

I talked about in my prezi how Alice was raped at a young age and how she dealt with the situation. I also talked about how she should have dealt with it.

After reading the first chapter of Lucky by Alice Sebold I noticed how descriptive and emotional the author was. Lucky is a memoir of Alice Sebold. The story tell's of Alice being raped while attending her first year at the University of Syracuse. I feel like Alice is really struckin by this event. I also feel as if she wont be able to move on. Lucky seems like a pretty interesting book to me, I enjoyed the first few chapters.

The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner is a pretty intense book and also very weird. I was shocked when I read the parts about Hassan getting raped. I didnt want to really read on because it was just flatout weird. Ive never read a book that has took place somewhere other than the United States so when I found out that this book took place in Afghanistan I tried to imagine that environment and what life would be like. The characters in
the Kite Runner are very strange. I thought Amir was a punk for just sitting there and watching his freind get raped. Like I dont know if he was scared but I dont understand how you can just sit there and watch an not help. Im excited to find out what the point of this book actually is because so far I just dont understand right now.
