I’m reading the book Gregor The Overlander so far I really like this book it’s been my favorite book that I have read since last year. I like this book because it almost makes me feel as if im Gregor I really like how they ride gigantic bats for travel which that brings the fantasy part in you know that not in a million years there will be a bat big enough to ride.
My favorite part of the book is when Gregor went in the hole after his sister which I think is really brave of him to considering he thought he knew where it went. I also like the part where they meet Luxa it was funny when boots met Luxa for the first time and Luxas eyes are purple and Boots’s favorite color is purple and she poked Luxa in the eye.

    Wade Davis Wayfinders Chapter Summary

    “The sum total of all thoughts and intuitions, myths and beliefs, ideas and inspirations brought into being by the human imagination since the dawn of consciousness” is best defined as ethnosphere by Wade Davis, in his introduction to Wayfinders (2). He establishes the direction of this travel log with the introduction of culture: a dynamic and complex system that characterizes societies and from it flows people’s identity. As Davis immerses the reader into a series of indigenous people groups around the world, we are exposed to the DNA of these societies. Despite the diversity of lifestyles and languages, an evident ebb and flow threads these varying people groups together, creating the overarching themes of the book. Through a society’s culture, power, decomposition, and rebirth prevail, growing off one another and unveiling the cyclical undercurrent of humanity.…

    A Brief Summary Of Colleen Hoover's Without Merit

    * This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review I'm sad to say that this is my first 3 star rating for a CoHo book. After falling in love with It Ends With Us, and crying for days after it was over, I was excited and nervous to read yet another emotional Colleen Hoover book. Without Merit didn't have much of a description, so needless to say I was going into this book pretty blindly. Once I finished the 1st chapter, I was already hit with some crazy news, which ultimately led into a story that I was not expecting.…

    Summary Of Dreaming In Chinese By Deborah Fallows

    Throughout this summer I read the book “Dreaming in Chinese: Mandarin Lessons in Life, Love, and Language” by Deborah Fallows. It is a memoir about the discoveries Deborah Fallows made through her journey of living in China for three years. She wrote about the good and bad but also the different things she learned in the process. For example she wrote about her troubles when she first started getting introduced to the different tones, but then she learned that although the tones may sound the same, the character is what changes the different tone to the different meaning. Her example was that shī (狮), shí (十), shǐ (使), shì (是) sound the same but mean lion, ten, to make, and to be because the different characters change the meaning.…

    Reflective Essay On Shatter Me

    The novel Shatter Me written by Tahereh Mafi is foremost one of the best books that I have ever read in my existence. This amazing novel was really unpredictable as everything happened like a rollercoaster ride. However, it did have some drops throughout the book that I did not find amusing. The three main things that I personally adored about this novel was the idea, characters, and writing style. I really liked the idea of this novel as it was really eventful.…

    Symbolism In The Metamorphosis Kafka

    In the beginning of the story Gregor is described as “squirming” (3) and “shocked to hear his own voice,” (5) which resembles his struggle of finding out who he is because he has turned into what family/society wants him to be. The fact that he is “shocked to hear his own voice” justifies that Gregor is not only confused on he has become, but it exposes the reality that Gregor never voices his concerns on being someone he isn’t. It startles him to realize that he is a prisoner within his own body and can’t figure out who he has become, which Kafka makes the reader feel sympathy for him because of his confusion in his mind. Towards the middle of the story Gregor “inconsistently darted madly” (18) around the room when his father was chasing him, which symbolizes Gregor’s chaotic state of trying to live up to his father’s approval because he “didn’t want to let his family down” (11) and how he feels “useless in his present state” (27). Kafka describes Gregor as “simply happy” when Gregor finds solitude in his own body, which shows that Gregor can accept who he is only in his bug form and doesn’t dwell too heavily on the expectations that has been set before him, which makes him authentic because he doesn’t feel he needs to meet his family’s expectations anymore (32).…
