May 14 2009 Literary Letter #5 from May 8 2009

Literary Letter on Unforgetable:

Dear Ms. Arlequin
The book i am reading is called Unforgetable by CECILY VON ZIEGSAR. This book is a very interesting book and its like i just cant put it down. I could read every book by this author because her books are just so good. During this week i mostly read about How Brett and Kara made out and how they are trying to keep it from the other girl in their school.

One of my least favorite parts in this book is when the 2 girls kiss. This is my least favorite part because of the simple face that there is 2 girls kissing instead of a boy and girl. It all started when one of the girls tries and proves her point to one of the obnoxious boys in her school. She said the kiss didnt mean nothing when actually both of the girls felt something more then just it being a kiss. If they wouldnt have kissed in the first place then this wouldnt have happend. Now look at them its like every chance they get together they cant control theirselfs. They just start making out which is very nasty. So this is what i found or disliked in this book.

Well this actually didnt happen to me before but it did happen to my friend. But it wasnt on purpose it was just on an accident it was nothing serious. It was actually funny how it happend. Well my classmate she was actually looking backwards and when she truned around she bumped into some girl and their lips touched. When my friend told me this i was actually thinking this is nasty but it isnt her fault. It was also funny.

What do you think of girl and girl action? Would you ever kiss another girl [ this question was for the girls who read this? Guys what do you think about 2 girls kissing? Well me i think that it is actually nasty to have any sexual realtions towards girls. [ that was for the girls ]

Literary Letter On Unforgetable

Dear Ms.Arlequin
The book that i am still reading but about to be done with is called ' Unforgetable' by CECILY VON ZIEGSAR. This book has came to the ending. Now in the book it is telling me about how they are all into partying and having sex and all having fun.

The book is a very good book. It keeps me interested and its a fun book to read. I like the books this author makes. My favorite part in this book is when Heath comes to the girls meeting in a wig. This is my favorite part because its just so funny. Im not saying it wasnt a good idea because it actually was a great idea. It was an idea for him not to get caught going into the girls meeting. So i found it pretty funny. I really dont have no dislikes about this book so i cant really tell you anything that i dont like about this book.

This particular scene in the book reminds me of my dad. It reminds me of my dad because when he was in high school he dressed up as a women for halloween, him and his friend. That night every single one of his friends thought it was comedy. When my dad told me that i couldnt stop laughing it was just too funny. So when i read this about how heath had to sneak into the all girls meeting and had to dress as a girl it reminded me of my father.

If you is a guy, would you ever pull something off like this? Would you ever dress up as a girl for halloween? This was a very great idea and it was also very funny .

Literary Letter on Unforgetable

Dear Ms.Arlequin
The book that i am currently reading is called "Unforgetable" by CECILY VON ZIEGSAR the part where i am up to is basically telling me about how Easy and Callie hooks up and How some of the people at their school have a big get together. The book is telling me about all the hookups and partys that are going on.

I feel that the books plot is a good scene. It feel like it is alot of fun. The scene is pretty decent. Like its nothing wrong with it. My favorite part in the book is when Callie and Easy was in the woods. This is one of my favorite parts because this part was just so cute. Okay Callie say that she was very upset at him but its like when she get around him she just softens up. So i think that this is really cute. I like to see Callie and Easy together. I Like the book alot. At first i wasnt really interested in it until i read more into the story. I feel this way because it was kind of confusing in the begining of the book.

Sincerly: Tenyjah

This book kinds of reminds me of my life. Well it was something similar. Well i liked this boy that my bestfriend knew for almost all her life and i thought he liked me too but i thought wrong. Now come to find out my bestfriend and the boy talk well like each other. Okay i feel used and its like my bestfriend dont even care about what he did. Its like shes being a real grimmy person. Okay she said that oh she knew him before she knew me but that isnt the case. Yeah i know that she knew him first but if i was in her shoes and a boy that i knew for along time i wouldnt even reconsider in liking them.

If you had that happen to you, what would you do? Would you still talk to the boy or leave him alone? Would you choose the boy over your bestfriend? Okay yeah you did know the boy for longer but still boys should never come between you and your bestfriend. So what would you do in this type of situation?

Response:
In this book i wish that Easy and Callie can just get back together. Like okay it very obvious that they still want each other. Its not even a question that they want each other back its more like a statement. I wish that Easy wouldnt have did what he did because what he did was wrong. My point of this book is that why even cheat on someone you love. If you love someone then the thought of cheating on them shouldnt even be a question or even a thought of it in your mind shouldnt even occur in your mind. If you are in love wouldnt you not want to do something to hurt them.? Wouldnt you want to be faithful to that person and be there forever with them. Then why even jeopordize something so special for something so stupid. I just wish that Easy would have been smarter and thought about what he was doing before he did it. I just want Easy and Callie to be a couple again and that way they both are happy if they claim that they love each other

MAY 14 2009 BLOG-BEAST REVIEW FROM 3-25-09

Well my total discription of the book the ''THE BEAST'' is that it is a great book. I really liked the book it was a very good book and it kept me interested. When i first started reading the book i didnt get it at first until i really got into it. Once i started to get to like chapter 6 that is when i started to get real into the book. When i read that he was going to school in another place somewhere outside NewYork and he had to leave his girlfriend it made mhe think like what is she going to do while he is gone. Plus especially her mother was very sick and she was dying. Just dealing with all of that is painful. Its like everyone she truly loves is going out her life and they aint going to be there when she really need them. This book was very sad and i just felt like crying. The part where i couldnt believe was when Spoon girlfriend Gabby started doing drugs that was just so crazy. It was like painful because she was such a good person and she had so many good things going for her. Like her going to a good college and her being able to become somthing and doing something with her life. Its like she threw all of that away and it was very sad. Okay yeah i do understand that she was going through alot with her mother dying and Spoon being gone but she could have atleast thougth smartly about wat she was doing instead of not thinking and jus doing it. But other then that i liked the book. I just wish that Spoon would have helped or could of stopped Gabby from doing drugs so she wouldnt have thrown good things out of the window.

Literary Letter March 30 2009

Dear Ms.Arlequin
The book i am currently reading is Unforgetable : An it girl novel By Cecily Von Ziegsar. What i read so far in the book is how Callie and Jenny made up instead of having drama. They both realized that they were roomates and the drama and rolling the eyes at each other wasnt neccesary. So now they are friends and the other girls are looking at them like werent they just not friends. So now all the girls look at them weird when they see Jenny and Callie Together.
I think that the book's plot is good. Like its nothing wrong with it. The characters i think is very discreat about things like they are sneaky. Like for example one of the girls there are dating a freshman. The freshman happens to be really cute but the girl doesnt want any of the other girls to find out that she is dating a freshman. So when he comes and see her she has to hide him and sneak him out making sure that none of the other girls see him. I wonder why she doesnt want to be seen with the freshmen. Like so wat if he is freshman.
This book reminds me of life because if someone was denying me and sneaking me around all the time i would feel some type of way. Like if you like me then you like me so wat i feel that it shouldnt matter wheather im a freshman or not. If you are going to be sneaking me around and be ashame of me then whats even the point of us talking. So then again this is related to life because you may go through this and you may not. But i know that through out life you are going to go through these things at some point.
Have you ever been through something like this? If you did what would you do? How would you feel? If you and your roomate had drama over some boy would you squash it or hold a gruge against it? What would you do through these rough and hurtfuls times.

This book makes me wonder like what is going to happen when Jenny finds out that Callie been kissing her boyfriend behind her back. It makes me wonder that are Callie and Jenny are going to end up fighting. In the book it says that it is going to be alot of trouble started because of this. I mean why would you even do something like that to anybody. Its just wrong. Okay people say that its not really wrong because everygirl deserves to be with the boy. Like the boy cant stay theres forever so some people dont really think that it is wrong. But like then again if you know the girl and do that to her it is very messed up. But everyone has their differnt perspectives about it

Literary Letter on Unforgetable: An it girl novel
The title of the book is called ' Unforgetable : An it girl novel . During my reading time Ive been reading about how boyfriend stealing turns into alot of drama and backstabbing. Ever since Jenny stole Callie boyfriend there has been nothing but tension between them. Jenny wants to be with Easy but is having second thoughts. If Jenny didnt want to be with Easy Callie Ex long-time boyfriend then why would she even take him from her. All it seems like now is competition. Callie want Easy to hurry up and break up with Jenny. Callie is Kissing Jenny's boyfriend behind her back. Sooner or Later all of this is going to be out of control.
The book plot is pretty good. I mean its not bad for the story. The plot doesnt seem like it doesnt belong with the differnt storys and scenes. My favorite part of the book is when Jenny and Easy is walking in the hall together and it looks like they are not even together. This is my favorite part because it makes it seems like they are not together and we wouldnt want it to be so obvious.
This book is like life in general because this may happen atleast once to everyone. There are going to be some messed up people to do such a thing. Ok every people say that sometimes you think a couple is going to last forever but it isnt. Which is true. The problem with people now and days they fall in love too fast. Love isnt something that grows during the night. Love takes time to build. So like thats why people end up getting hurt because they think they are in love and really arent and the others person feelings may not be as strong as yours. So im just saying like people be smarter because falling in love so quickly is a way to get your heartbroken.

Have You ever fell in love within a month? Have something like this ever happened to you? Are you second guessing wheather you are in love or not? Do You know when you are falling in love? If you stole somebody boyfriend and then wasnt sure wheather or not you and him should be together, how would you feel? How would you feel if the girl that you stole the boyfriend went behind your back and kissed what is so called your boyfriend now? Would you be mad? Would You let it go? What would you do in these situations?

Genre:
Response:
This books makes me wonder more and more everytime i read another chapter. What is going to happen in the book. It makes me wonder who is going to get back with easy and who is going to be the one to let him go. It makes me wonder who is going to get together and who is going to become a couple. It also makes me wonder if Jenny is going to find out about Callie and Easy is she going to find out about the time they been spending and the kisses they still share. Is she going to find out that even though Callie said for both of them to get over Easy and move on Callie still seems not to be over him as she said she was. It makes me wonder that if Jenny did find out about Callie and Easy how would she take it. Would she take it in a harsh way. Would she not want to be Jenny friend anymore. It makes me think like oh will this end Jenny and Callie friendship just because of some boy. I guess i will have to read more to find out.

Response:
The advice i would give Callie the girl who got her boyfriend stollen is that she shouldnt be mad forever. Because this is life and she was going to go through it. Sometimes when you love someone the best thing to do is let them go. I Know that this sounds stupid but actually its the truth. I think that instead of her being hooked on this boy Easy she should just move on from him. Instead of her fighting over him and going back and forth she should just move on. Instead of her going and kissing Easy behind Jenny back she should just find a better boy because he aint worth it because there are other boys. Their realtionship probably didnt mean much to him because he wouldnt have gave it up so fast and easily. So like she should just move on just like he did.

This book is kind of like my own life because what is happening in the book actually happened to me before. Like in this book Callie friend Jenny stole her long time boyfriend Easy. This happend to me. But the guy wasnt my boyfriend he was a boy that i really liked and my bestfriend knew. I was like in love with him. But then one day that is when i just changed and i wanted revenge. My bestfriend kissed the boy i really like in front of my face. It hurt so bad. I just wanted to hit her but i had to be the bigger person. So instead of hitting her i made her feel bad about her self until she felt the pain that she caused me. It was like our friendship didnt even matter because she knew that i really liked him and for her to do that was really foul and messed up. But like io know that who i can trust and who i cant trust. But i know how Callie is feeling because the feeling is painful.

Literary Letter on Unforgetable and it girl novel Tenyjah Nibbs 833

The titile of the book is called Unforgetable an it girl novel by Celia Von Ziegesar. I just started reading this book and already i can tell that the book is going to be good. During independent reading today i read about how Jenny and Easy met. It all happened at a party they went to. During that time Easy was dating Callie Vernon. Jenny and Callie dont really like each other because Jenny stole Callie boyfriend. So there is alot of tension in the air.

The books plot is a good place. Although it can get confusing in parts of the book it is still a good plot. What i think about the book is that i can tell that there is going to be alot of drama because of the whole boyfriend stealing thing. From reading the little part of the book i can tell that the book is going to be very interesting and there is going to be alot of backstabbing and name calling and boyfriend stealing. I feel this way because already when i read in the back of the book its says that when Jenny stole Callie long time boyfriend Easy Callie didnt feel guilty about turning around and kissing Easy behind Jenny's back. So from this information i can tell that there are going to be some cat fights.

This book is kind of like what happend to me but instead me and the boy wasn't dating. It connects to my life because when this happend to me i felt backstabbed, betrayed, hurt, and unloved. So now i know exactly how Callie feels. This books also reminds me off the book Matter Of Trust because it was something like this. But instead it was the girls bestfriend who was doing this to her. Her bestfriend tried to steal her boyfriend. So in a way these two books are alike.

In this book i can tell that it is going to be very hurtful. How would you feel if someone you knew just took your long time boyfriend? Would you want revenge or would you just leave it how it is?Would you try to get your boyfriend back or would you not even care? What would you do in a situation like this? This wouldnt want to be situation you would want to be in because it is very hurtful.

MONKEYMAN LETTER

DEAR WALTER DEAN MYERS

MY REACTION TO THE STORY MONKEYMAN WAS THAT I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A REALLY GREAT STORY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT HOW A MAN LIKED MONKEYS ALOT. BUT AS I STARTED TO READ IT I REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS ABOUT A BOY NAMED MONKEYMAN HE WAS VERY ILLTELEGENT. HE LIVED IN HARLEM AND HATED IT. HE LIKED TO READ AND JUST REALAX. HE WAS NOT LIKE THOSE OTHER BOYS WHO ARE INTO GANGS AND STUFF. THEY CALLED HIM MONKEYMAN BECAUSE HE USED TO SIT IN THE TREE AND JUST READ HIS BOOK. EVERY ONE KNEW MONKEYMAN AND NEVER REALLY MESSED WITH HIM. BUT THEN ONE DAY HE GOT INTO SOME TROUBLE WITH A GANG CALLED TIGROS BECAUSE HE DIDNT MIND HIS BUISNESS. AFTER I READ THIS PART I STARTING TO THINK ON MY GOD WHAT ARE THE TIGROS THINKING OF DOING TO THIS BOY. IT WAS SOO SAD THAT I DIDNT WANT TO READ IT ANYMORE. BUT THEN MONKEYMAN CAME TO A DECISION WHICH WASNT A VERY GOOD ONE. BUT WHEN I CONTINUED READING THE BOOK I REALIZED WHY HE MADE THAT DECISION. MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THE BOOK IS WHEN MONKEYMAN SAW THE LADY TIGROS ABOUT TO CUT PEACHES AND THEN HE RAN OVER TO THEM AND KNOCKED THE KNIFE OUT OF THEIR HANDS. ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS IS WHEN MONKEYMAN TOLD CLEAN AND THE TIGROS TO MEET HIM IN THE PARK. WHEN I READ THIS I THOUGHT WAS HE GOING TO GET REVENGE? OR WAS HE GOING TO TELL THEM TO MEET HIM THERE AND NOT SHOW UP. I REALIZED THAT MONKEYMAN HAD ALOT OF HEART TO STEP UP TO THE TIGROS AND CLEAN AND THEN ACTUALLY SHOW UP AT THE PARK.

WHATS CONFUSING ABOUT THE BOOK IS THAT I DONT GET WHY THE MOTHER PUT THE DAUGHTER OUT OF HER HOUSE AND SENT HER DOWN SOUTH. OKAY I KNOE THAT THE DAUGHTER IS 14 AND HAS A CHILD AND WAS JUST PREGNET AGAIN BUT HAD TO GET AN ABORTION. BUT THATS IS HER CHILD OF SHE WAS A GOOD MOTHER THEN SHE WOULDNT HAVE PUT HER DAUGHTER OUT. I DONT GET WHY SHE WOULD PUT HER DAUHTER OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE. OKAY I KNOW THAT HER DAUGHTER IS 14 WITH A BABY WHICH IS BAD BUT STILL THE MOTHER SHOULD BE THERE FOR HER. HER MOTHER SHOULDNT ACT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ACTS TO HER WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT SHE IS 14 WITH A BABY. HER MOTHER SHOULD AT LEAST BE THERE FOR HER DAUGHTER NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS TO SEE HER DAUGHTER WITH A CHILD ALREADY AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. WHATS ALSO CONFUSING ABOUT THE BOOK IS THAT WHY WOULD THE 14 YR OLD GIRL WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY IF SHE JUST GOT TROUGH WITH JUST HAVING ONE. SHE COULD HARDLY TAKE CARE OF HERSELF AND HER SON SO HOW DOES SHE EXSPECT TO TAKE CARE OF HER, HER SON AND ANOTHER CHILD.
