Keep Holding On By Susane Colasanti: Summary

Improved Essays
Gossip. This book was full of juicy drama that kept you on the edge of your seat and made you want to keep reading. This book was full of plot twists and events that made you want to read more of Susane Colasanti’s books. I would say that girls my age would LOVE this because it would really relate to their life and the stuff they go thew.
My book was Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti. This book is an autobiography because it’s Noelle telling about what happens in her life and her hardships. The book tells you the background about Noelle and how she always gets bullied and how she deals with the situation. I usually don’t like reading books but this one was really worth reading. It was full of drama and thrilling things. It was a book where there was never a time when there wasn’t any drama. This book was also good because it taught you to push thru with your dreams and do whatever you want and not care about who sees you or is judging you. I think this book was written for kids who have hard times during but need to just push thru. It wasn’t written for people who are interest in horses or who are interested in the lives of Native-American leaders such as Geronimo.

    Happing Endings Essay

    • 5 Pages

    In the short story Happing Endings, Margaret Atwood conveys several unique ways of alternating the stories theme. For instance, in scenario A the couple John and Mary live a happy life with no conflict nor problems and dithery live and die happily. While in scenario B-F Atwood gives us scenarios of different conflicts and tragedies that's not surprisingly happen in peoples everyday life, but you still end up with the same outcome as scenario A. This short story gave me mixed emotions about, see what is the authors purpose of writing this piece, and also personal connections it might have towards me. I actually like the story Happy Endings but somewhat want to disagree but can’t with Atwood’s theory of how different scenarios of relationships will end.…

    The book I decided to read is called, “Safe Haven” by Nicholas Sparks. The reason I chose to read it was because I didn’t know what else to read and some friends recommended it.

    For my outside reading book I chose Running Into Yourself by Jean-Paul Bedard. Personally I really enjoy this book purely for the reason it is about running. A person that doesn't enjoy running most likely will not enjoy this book as much as a runner would. The book is about what you think about while you're running, how running can get you out of mental situations, and about working towards your goals. Running Into Yourself starts off talking about running a marathon, the climax of a running career.…

    Star Girl Book Report

    The first book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading was Star Girl written by Jerry Spinelli. I read this book in my sixth-grade class, and although it was not my first chapter book I’ve read, it was a book that I have the earliest recollection of reading. This is because it was the first book that grasped my interest and I fully understood the characters, the plot, and the main idea of the story. I was able to make connections with the characters because they dealt with similar things that as a new middle school student I was dealing with as well. For example, in the story Star Girl, the main character is starting a new school, so she’s trying to fit in by making new friends and joining some extracurricular activities.…
