If I Stay

If I stay is a movie and a book, the book interested me when I saw the movie (made me cry). The book was written by Gayle Foreman. It based on a girl named Mia Hall (17 years old) she and her family were involved in a car accident. She was the only one that survived but she is in a coma. While she is on the coma she can see her family and friend visiting her. She finds herself in a hard situation she has to determine to live or die. My favorite quote from the book is "I'm not sure this is the world I belong in anymore. I'm not sure that I want to wake up." I really liked this quote because I believe that some point in a persons' life they will feel like they don't belong. I recommend this book to people who like novels and like to have a book to read and then watch the movie. Also get ready to cry!

The Devil's Highway

The Devil'S Highway is based on a true story. It is mainly about immigration, it is about twenty six men trying to cross the border to end up in a dessert in Arizona. The book was written by Luis Alberto Urrea. The book is slow paced in the begging (starts to get interesting on the starting pages of 50). If you are wondering what the "Devil's Highway" actually is it is U.S. Route 666. It honestly freaked me out. I found this book interesting because some of my family members came to America as immaigrants, so I wanted to know more about the struggle. I recommend this book to people who are patient and like the subject of immigration. As you can tell from my blog about my Super Bowl commercial, I am very interested in the subject of immigration. This book got my interest when my social justice teacher Ms.Suarez was talking about it class. I muster wanted a book that described the pain and difficulty of how people cross the border to start a new life. One of my favorite quotes the book is "always behave with respect." I like this quote because a lot of because I feel like people can be disrespectful without even knowing.

Thinklink On The Poem "The Storm"

Something I Regret.

          Something I regret is not taking the private high school exam. I feel like I'm very vulnerable of rejection so I avoid anything that can reject me. At first I was going to take the exam but I backed out like 3 days before because I was scared. I regret not taking the test because maybe I could have got into Nazareth. Maybe I could've graduated from my first choice school.
