Jeremy Tree Book Report

Improved Essays
I enjoyed reading this book because I felt like I could relate to the main character. I felt content when reading this book because of the similar ways the main character had of thinking. I feel like I would make similar decisions that he made in some certain situations. The main character Jeremy had some quirks that I could relate to. Jeremy had a candy collection that consisted of odd or mutated candy. I could relate to Jeremy because when I was younger I also liked to collect odd or mutated things I found.
This book was about the search for keys to open a box that Jeremy’s dead father left for him to open on his upcoming thirteenth birthday. Throughout his search Jeremy did odd things that he would normally not feel comfortable doing. He once broke into an old vacant floor of an office building to search for the key that might open his box. Jeremy came in contact with a variety of people and he learned from talking with them. From Jeremy I learned that usually everyone likes to be heard and listened to whether they realize it or not. His friendly personality helped him learn about his father and gain clues of where he could look for the next key. In general I learned that whenever I come in

Also I enjoyed this book because the story was pretty interesting. Jeremy was searching for four key that would work on his box. When you do the math Jeremys four keys to the million other keys that are in New York City there are many possibilities and almost seems impossible. Isn’t that the storyline of most stories? The main character has an almost impossible mission to complete but somehow they manage to complete the task and they become a great hero! The reader keeps reading to see how the impossible task is completed. In my opinion the sense of closure and completion to the story and the hard journey that was completed make a book pleasing to

    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.…

    In Allan Johnson’s book The Forest and the Trees, he notions that in order to understand the concept of social life, we have to not only look at the individual, but also at the environment the individual is placed and how they interact and create social systems. Johnson explains that “a forest is simply a collection of individual trees, but it is more than that. It is also a collection of trees that exist in a particular relation to one another, and you cannot tell what that relation is by looking at the individual trees.” (Johnson 2014) By using the imagery of the forest and trees, he shows how social systems and people influence each other.…

    I think the book, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double down”, written by Jeff Kinney, was an awesome book. The book is about a young kid, like me, who is just learning his common sense and his moral ethics. The book was very entertaining to read as it gives the perspective of a young boy, Greg Heffley, of his not-so-ordinary life. People may think he’s ordinary, but when you get into his everyday life, it gets weird. He has an older brother, which I can relate to, and he’s always trying to get out of work, no matter what.…
