I'm currently reading " American Son" by Brian Ascalon Roley, the story is about a Filipino family growing up in the slums of California. in this family there is a mother and two sons, one son named Tomas and another named Gabe. Tomas in the bad one, he helps pay the mortgage by selling attack dogs to rich people and celebrities. He Also is apart of an Mexican gang, even though he is he is Filipino his arms are covered in Mexican gang tattoos. No one knows Tomas is Asian by the way he dresses, he has a shaved head, wear white beaters, cargo's, and converse like an Mexican gangster in the time period of the book so everyone including his fellow gangs members think he is Mexican.
       Subjects like this, happens all around the world. People try to be things they aren't to try and impress others. By Tomas trying to be something he's not shows this. Many people are under the impression that they have to act like something they are not to be excepted in the world. i think people should just be who they are and not care about if they are excepted by a certain group of people i think that Tomas should of excepted the fact that he is Asian not Mexican and not try to impress anyone.

I’m currently in the process of reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules” by Jeff Kinney. I’m in the beginning even though I’ve read this book thousands of times every time funny parts come up I just happen to laugh as if it is the first time I’m reading the book. It makes me laugh so hard when Rodrick beats up Greg and calls him a sissy when he finds about his journals his mother brought him. In the last book, Greg was beat up and teased by Rodrick because of the journals but know she brought another one which makes it three million times worst for Greg.  

            The fact that Greg is a tiny little wimp puts everything all together for his life. In the story Greg father takes him to a swim meet and all the other swimmers are ready and pumped and their parents are in the back cheering for them and Greg is standing there shivering and his father is like Greg stop shivering. Another part is where the umpire shoots the gun Greg is supposed to dive into the water and start swimming, he was too concerned where the where the bullet was going to land. Greg is hilarious and so is his family

     Im currently reading Wake by Lisa McMann, i just srarted the book so i am beginning to understand what it is about and what is going on. so the book starts off where janie is five and in any second of the day she can be sucked into any random persons dream. she doesnt tell anyone about the special ablity she has so people look at her like she is crazy when she is dazed for a period of time. In the book the dreams continue as she gets older and the dreams arent the the same from when she was five. they arent dreams they are more like nightmares. Janie is forced to watch peoples dreams even when there violent and sometimes even when there is nudity.
      Even though Jainie hates her gift there is a postitive aspect to it, she can help people in there dreams. One dream that occured a little boy was drowning in the lake and she was capable of saving him in the end. Basically she can prevent bad dreams if she wanted to. in many cases jainie decides not to prevent a nightmare based on the person that is dreaming personality if there a good or bad person. i really like this book and since im just starting im starting to get a clue of whats going on.

Movie responce to Romeo and Jukiet ( leornado dicaprio version )

         I Haven't read any books this week so today's reponse is going to be my responce to the ending of Romeo And Juliet. I knew that tge ending was going to end with them both dying but i didnt know it would make me so mad the way the both died. Okay so Juliette was awakining from her sleep and Romeo was hovering over her crying because he thought she was dead. She litterly watched him dirink the potion and didnt try to stop him until it was too late. At that minute my hole class just got mad because they way it played out in the end both of there deaths could of been prevented.
          For intince when Romeo went to hold Juliette's hand she twitched and when Julliette opened her eyes and saw Romeo she could of used her mouth and said something and they would of still been alive. But no Julliette wanted to stay quiet and watch Romeo drink posion and when the posion is in her mouth she wants to try and stop him, then she kills herself. It was a very sad ending because they took there lives but the iveral movie was amzing and shows how true love has an stront effect on people.

The Help ( response #4)

         So im in the middle of reading the book '' The Help" by Kathryn Sockett and there is one character that sticks out to me and that's Minny. Minny sticks out to me because she reminds me of myself, she is a smarty pants, funny and not afraid of what people think of her. Minny has been working at her new maid job for ms Celia for about 5 months and she has noticed that ms Celia isn't happy. Minny isn't the type to get into your business if you don't wan her too but something about Ms.Celia hasn't been right.

        Ms.Celia is a thin blonde white woman who is very eager to have friends, but all the woman in the neighborhood think and say terrible things about her behind her back. Ms.Celia is a very Naive woman who her husband is never home and need a friend and try's to be friends with Minny. At first Minny tried to keep things professional but then she learned to like Ms.Celia. They had many fun times together Minny taught ms.Celia how to cook fried chicken, pork chops, chocolate pie many things. But there is one problem since ms.Celia husband is never home she hasn't told him about Minny, the fact they have a maid and the cooking ms.Celia says she maid is really Minny's. I think Ms.Celia will eventually grow a strong bond with Minny and ms.Celia would finally be happy.
   
          In Conclusion i think there bond would make Minny and ms.Celia happy and her husband can finally find out about Minny. i predict that ms.Celia husband is going to come home home and think Minny is an invader and everything would go crazy in that household.

        

The Help Follow UP #3

      This is my "The Help'' follow up number three. So im just geting into the book and there is another situation that stands out to me. This situation is that the maid has a closer bond with the children then the the mothers do. The maids spends all day with the children and the mothers dont, the maids always have the children glued on there hip and her mothers dont. I think this is a common thing with nannnies and maids even today, Ive witnessed children crying when nannies/ maids go home. I think the bond shouldnt be closer then there bond with their parents.

follow up on the Help

On my last post I promised a follow up on '' The Help'' by Kathyrn Sockett and here it is. while reading the book i came across an outstandingly ignorant commit that was made by one of the white mothers in the book that stood out to me. So we know the book takes place in the early 60's were segragation was still a huge factor and black maids were still working and raising children in white households. So in the south it is common for friends to come along and eat finger foods etc, Like a party.
         So at one of these party's one of the mothers said " I dont let my maid use my family restroom they carry many more diseases then we do so im getting one built outside." This comment is very ignorant and full of stupidity. When i read this sentence i had to read it over to make sure it said what i thought it said. This comment of course isnt true,  but it makes the theme of inequality stand out 100 times more. this comment makes the feel of the boook alot better more realistic how it was like for maids in this time period.
          Another thing that stood out to me that aibleen ( main maid) has taken almost 20 years of her life to take care of the house and raise other peoples children, while her children are out barely seeing her own children who she is surpossed be taking care of instead of others. So far this book is very good and is a eye popper. stay tuned for my next follow up about ''The Help''

The Help

     I just started reading the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I'm only on the first page and i haven't seen the movie and I'm going to infer that the book is about maids in the south taking over their lives and participating in a book about being nannies of white children. I definitely know that these black maids are taking a huge risk and exposing the truth about the parents of the children.

ive just read Brittany David's http://silentlibrary98.blogspot.com/ blog post on the Twilight Saga book Breaking dawn. i agree with you when you say when young people get married people automatically assume someone is pregnant and no one could never just be IN LOVE.

Ive just read Jessenia Weeks http://lovinglife-jessenia.blogspot.com/  about the book she is reading the skin im in and in response i feel the reason the main character isn't responding to any of the bullying because she scared it is going to get physical we she says hurtful things back it like throwing gas on a open fire.Many times when children are bullied and they respond the problem gets worse so that is why the main character probably doesn't want to retaliate on the situation

Ive just read Deontea's http://ballupstreetball101.blogspot.com/about Diary of a wimpy kid and i relate to what he was talking about 100% in the book as i was ready this book i found myself reading it ad feeling the same way deontea felt.

 I Just finished reading Kara Feaster http://sufferinfromrealness.blogspot.com/ blog post about the book Zig Zag her post makes me want to read this book because the conflict is that the main character has a eating disorder and throws up everything they weat and it makes me want to read the book and know the the character is doing this to there body. Also how the settings or theme of the book makes the character this way.
