Rhiannon Book Report

Decent Essays
I would hands down most definitely recomemend this book to not only a friend but simply anyone of youth. I thought this book was genuinely breathtaking, begining with the whole concept of only being able to stay in one body for a day, which I happen to find extremly appealing which pondered amungst my mind for a while. I would not argue tha the book was very scholarly by defotion, but both A and Rhiannon are marvelous mentors. A is well behaed when living the lives of the people he inhabits, he/she tries not to disrupt their relationships too much, he/she resists from doing things that the body wants to do (such as drugs). In one situation where he/she is a girl who is suicidal, he/she tells her father that he needs to get her help immediately, …show more content…
She puts practicality before her own desire to be with A in the interest of protecting the lives of the people A inhabits (for example when A gets them in trouble with strict parents for leaving/skipping school to go and be with her). The book also conveys positive messages, like when A gets help for the suicidal girl, when he resists doing drugs, when he doesn't have sex with Rhiannon because it isn't his body and it's not really right. That being said, sex is somewhat of a concern because the book does describe A and Rhiannon kissing and it talks about how A is letting Rhiannon take the lead so it only goes as far as she wants it to, but it describes how she undresses them. She also tells A about having met a stranger at the door in nothing but her undergarments, because she thought it would be A at the door. At a party that A goes to in the form of a boy named Nathan, there is a lot of drinking, and A wakes up in the body of a girl who not only is hungover from getting drunk last night, but whose brother died in a car accident because he was in the passenger seat when she was drunk …show more content…
When Rhiannon tells Justin that she has to take her mom to the doctor, he tells her to bring him back some of her pills. A wakes up in the body of a girl whose brother smokes while he drives her to school. Also, on a side note, I think the book has a kind of sad ending, even though I also think that A did the right thing, I was hoping for it to end differently. All in all, I'm a 14 year old and I think that it's okay for mature teenagers who recognize that all the lifestyles that A's many bodies choose for themselves are not

    Overview of the Crank Trilogy The books that I chose to do my report on were the Crank trilogy, Crank, Glass, and Fallout, by Ellen Hopkins. Crank was published in 2004, Glass was published in 2007, and the last book, Fallout came out in 2013. Ellen Hopkins wrote these books when she had a personal experience when her daughter, Kristina, started using "the monster" after she met the wrong person. She wrote the books to help herself understand why her daughter did it, then she realized that other people would relate to it and how many people had the same story.…

    Charlotte Wood's novel, The Natural Way of Things provides a critique of its dystopic civilization as well as the wider society it developed from. The human condition includes a disconnect between internal thoughts and external behaviour when faced with challenging situations. Wood demonstrates this fallibility through her protagonists Verla and Yolanda, by exposing their internal reflections and external behaviour on sexuality, judgement and the importance of community. Wood's novel provides a complex examination of the dystopic removal of natural traits, through the civilization's fear of sexuality by the internal reflections and external behaviours of Verla and Yolanda. A fear that is reflected in Wood's personal context as a female author…

    Ernest Hemmingway once said “When writing a novel, a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.” This quote to me exemplifies the importance for an author to create lifelike characters that are not static and are instead dynamic, moving, changing. In Rick Bass’s short story Antlers all three of the main characters can be seen as almost living people who share a genuine connection between their environment and between each other. Bass shows the connection that the three main characters have through their characterization.…

    Short stories have a way of telling multiple stories within a shorter story and it’s truly evident in the short story “Orientation” by Daniel Orozco. Edgar Allen Poe had a formula for a a great short story and this tale meets every criteria. It’s a tale of a new employee going through orientation at his job and as he’s following his boss around and receiving instructions, he also receives a few secrets. Orozco pulls the readers in with the idea that this will be a routine orientation when in fact it’s far from the usual. He begins with “Those are the offices and those are the cubicles.”…
