I guess the saying is somewhat true that “all good things must come to an end”. This last section got me emotional, once again, mostly because the book was ending. I have this thing where I get too attached to books and get emotional when the book is ending because after it’s done… it’s done […]
Post 6: Infinite Days
Well, I’m not really sure how to start this section without saying that I strongly disliked this section. I honestly just wanted to read through this section and get it over with because of the plot. If you’re shocked at what could have changed my view on this book so quickly, here, let me tell […]
Post 5: Pivots pt2 & NPC
Oh, my word. I seriously don’t understand why this book has to make me so emotional. Like, come on! I’ve already screamed out loud and shed a few tears when reading this book. But, I think that’s kinda the point of books. To get the reader, you and/or I, hooked onto the plot and characters. […]
Post 4: Both Sides/Pivots pt1
Alrighty, this section of the book was a rollercoaster of emotions, let me tell ya. So buckle up and prepare for this adventurous ride because it’s a crazy one. So, to begin things on a relaxed note, Sam and Sadie continue to make their new game, Both Sides. Which seems to be going great until […]
Post 3: Unfair Games
Okay somebody come get me a tissue… actually not just a tissue, get me the entire box (insert crying emoji). I feel so so so bad for Sam. So since he was little, he has been in and out of the hospital for his foot because of his car accident he was in. (I know […]
Post 2: Influences
Oh, my word. This is definitely a unique love story. Typically, love stories are based on high school sweethearts getting married and having a beautiful and happy life together. Or meeting each other at a romantic restaurant, where the server falls in love with the customer, and they build their relationship after this. Blah, blah, […]
Post 1: Sick Kids
I am going to be really honest here… this book is a book I have never read before. The book begins with a wholesome interaction between two former friends. Sam Masur, the main character, runs into his childhood best friend Sadie Green after not seeing each other for six years. This part of the book […]
Starter Post
The book that I am reading for this semester is Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin. I have heard excellent reviews about this book from my friends. Their input influenced me to select this book to read. Also, I am all for any kind of romance book, so this book is a good […]
Cultural Encounters Readings to Audience
After reading the cultural encounter readings from the three authors, Red Cloud, Christopher Columbus, and Bartolome de las Casas, I believe these readings changed the audience in a few ways. In Bartolome de las Casas’s writing, he describes the brutalities of the Spaniards that the Indians had endured. The Spaniards destroyed the life of the […]
Bartolome de las Casas
In Bartolome de las Casas’s journal, he exposes the outrageous behaviors of the Spanish explorers in the New World towards Hispaniola. He expresses the gruesome actions committed by the Spanish explorers. Such as, when the Christians arrived to Hispaniola, they were violent to the Indians. The Christians beat the Indians and led massacres with their […]
