Summary Of The Book 'The Knapper'

Decent Essays
I would recommend this book to people who loves mysteries and also to people who don't have a close relation with their parent because that’s the theme of this book. The author did an amazing job keeping the reader suspense and bringing twists in the story. For example, in the beginning, the reader find out that johnson’s are Janie’s grandparents which lead the reader thinking that Johnsons are the kidnapper, however later on we find out that they were just taking care of Janie because they thought it their daughter Hannah's child.
As the book continue, the reader learns that Hannah is actually the kidnapper. One thing The author need it to clarify that why did Hannah kidnaped a 3-year-old girl and give her parents to take care of it telling

    I have two predictions, one is that Hilly and Elizabeth will find out about the book and the second is that Celia will tell Hilly that she knows about the pie incident. I predict that HIlly and Elizabeth will find out about Skeeter’s book. A reason could be that one could overhear the help talking about it. They could hear it at a bridge meeting when the help is serving them. Or Aibileen could say something too loud on the phone and Elizabeth could hear her.…

    Another thing I liked about this book was that the main character went on an adventure and discovered himself. One thing in this book that worked for me was how Hinton transitioned pieces of the story. A good example of this is in the beginning when Travis was sent away from his mom and stepdad to go live with his uncle. This book is similar to S.E. Hinton’s other stories like “The Outsiders” and “Rumble Fish”. These stories all involve troubled youths living in hard times.…

    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.…
