I think the author Nicholas Sparks really got the story to a point where you almost can’t get it better. The way he wrote, is kind of poetic, but at the same time he has an ability to make the text flow beautifully. It did it easy and pleasingly to read and at the same time I really got into the book and how John thought and felt. The way Nicholas Spark put all together makes it to a very realistic book. How it’s not ending that well, for example that Johns dad died in a heart attack and how Savannah left John to marry someone else. The last thing I just mentioned is actually the only negative I have to complain about, considering how John and Savannah still loved each other. So if I could have changed the end, I would absolutely have done that. As I mentioned earlier I really liked this book, both substantively and that the author did use a language that fit me really

    Firstly, I think that if Baxter had provided a different summary I would have chosen a different book. Secondly, I did enjoy the story, however, I think the story would have been stronger if it was written in first person instead of third. Lastly, If I could change anything about the book, I would change the ending. The…

    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.…

    Despite the excellent flow, there were a few flaws that could have been remedied. One of the flaws is the faintly abrupt ending. Regardless of the fact that the ending was engaging, pleasurable, and extremely relevant to the story, the resolution was a mere two chapters, which gave an impression of a slightly hurried ending. The ending, although it was well written, was somewhat diminutive.…

    I also really like the story telling part, I can tell that the author Morris Gleitzmann wrote the book with a story in his mind, that he wanted to get across to the readers. It's a kind of sad and brutal story, but I think it's important that it gets shared and that people read it because that way they can get educated on what the worlds really like in some places. And it makes me appreciate, how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful country.…

    Rule Of Four

    After reading The Rule of Four, I was highly disappointed in the later half of the book. This was because of its terrible conclusion, which left a very bitter and sad aftertaste until the point where I think the book was better without the ending. The book sets a very emotional tone from the start. We are faced with characters who have gone through so much in search for their ambitions, whether that be cracking the Hypnerotomachia or mending a loving relationship (in the case of Katie), all while revolving around a group of best friends “who seemed to understand …[each other] ... from the very beginning” (15). This was to protagonize the characters, to make readers want to support them and watch them succeed, which I did as well.…

    Imagine your childhood and most your adulthood having no one who cares about you, or feeling like you have no one to relate to. Unfortunately this how Steve in A Chance in the World felt throughout a big portion of his life. Before deciding on which book I was going to read for this project, I decided to do a little bit more research on each, rather then just looking at the back of the book. I finally decided on A Chance in the World, because I felt like this book would teach me a lot about the hardships children like Steve face, and hopefully a way to handle situations like this if they pop up in my future career. A Chance in the World displays the courage and strength a young child has to rise up and succeed, when for most of his life the…
