Teach Me To Forget Book Report

Superior Essays
“Teach Me to Forget” was a fascinating book written by Erica Chapman. This particular book is categorized as young adult fiction. The types of books that I generally read are fiction books. Whenever I go to the library the first section that I go to is the fiction area because I enjoy reading book that I can use my Imagination. The reason why I chose this book to do my report on was because of the title. It grabbed my attention and made me want to find out what they wanted to forget. The cover wasn’t as interesting as the title. The cover had clouds over the front of the book. It would have been better if it had some sort of object or person on the front. However I still was excited about reading the book.
The main characters in the book were Ellery, Colter, Jackson, Janie, Dean, and Kirstyn. Ellery is the main character of this book. She is the one who wanted to commit suicide by shooting herself, but she failed.

I would be more than likely to read it over and over again. The best characters of the book, in my opinion, would be Ellery, Colter, and Jackson. Ellery isn’t only my favorite because the whole book is mainly about her. She had a funny personality, but was irrational at times and blamed everything on herself. She was very mournful and wanted to be left alone until Colter happened. It did get annoying when she repeatedly called herself “happy Ellery” even though we all know good and well that she was not so happy. Colter was a good character, because he would always look for the brighter side and fell in love with Ellery, first. I felt sorry for him, having to have dealt with his brother’s death and now knowing that the person he loves, Ellery, wants to kill herself. Jackson was an exceptional friend to Ellery and always helped her. He was there for her after her sister’s death, he was there for her when they found out that Ellery was going to kill herself. He even carried her away from her sister’s grave on a rainy

    All four characters are present in the first pages of the novel. Even though the author decided not to give a long description of each character, it is easy to understand that unlike his brother and his sisters, Edmund is an ambiguous character who can be perceived as mean, grumpy, and nasty. The author described the personality of each child, in a subtle manner. Indeed, in the first chapter, the children discuss which animal could be hidden in the mountains, each child thinks of a specific animal which says a lot about them.…

    Christianity has always been a little confusing for me and how many different types of Christians that there are. I am a newer Christian and I am filled with questions on a daily basis, full of doubt, full of confusion, and sometimes other Christians throw me off with their closed minds and their judgements and smugness. Daniel Taylor asks the question in his book, The Myth of Certainty: The Reflective Christian and The Risk of Commitment, “Do you resent the smugness of close-minded skepticism on the one hand but feel equally uncomfortable with the smugness of close-minded Christianity of the other?” , I immediately was curious about this book.…

    How did I feel about the book Unlikely Allies? I had lots of difficulty reading the book, from the sudden changes in scenes to the exhausting writing. It felt like a sloppy mess of sudden twists and turns that would, in most books, keep me intrigued, but this did not interest me at all. If the author added just a little bit of flair to the certain parts of the writing then I think I would really enjoy the book. The book had things I didn’t like, a few things I did like, and a couple things I would change.…
