The Help

The Help is an spectacular book that is close to impossible to put down. The Help is set during the 1960s in the south were, at the time there was a lot of controversy over civil rights. This book is set in Jackson Mississippi and is from the point of view of, Aibleen a housekeeper who works at the Leefolt's, Minny who was fiered from her job at the Holbrooks who are friends of the Leefolt's, and from Miss Skeeter whom is trying to write book about being a housekeeper. This book is not only sweet but is suspenseful and funny. I would recommend this to people who enjoy historical fiction.

slice of life

I push open the door. It takes a second shove but it finally gives in.
FACT 1 : Our front door is older than dirt.
I walk out to the warm embrace of summer sunset. I slam the door behind me. I swear if I have to spend one more second with my little cousin I will blow my brains out.
FACT 2 : I can not stand my little cousin
That girl is the most manipulative, spoiled brat I have ever met (and probably will meet but only time will tell).
I look across the porch to my swing. The paint is faded, The rope is frayed, It can only swing one way which is into the tree it's hung from yet these are the things I love about it. I twist my fingers in the frayed rope while I am on it, and I have made a game out of seeing how long I can push of the tree without using my hands.
I walk across my yard to the swing. I back up and stand on one of the tree roots with the bark of the tree pressing my back. I tighten my hand on the rope and jump.
I feel the breeze tug at my hair as I swing forward. I use my legs to move the swing at a point were I can kick off the tree. I point my heels out so I can push of easily. The bark presses to my feet and then disappears. I smile. The is so easy and simple, I feel like I could just float off…
" There you are Sloan I have been looking everywhere for you"
I would know that awful sickly sweet voice anywhere.
Oh god
FACT 3: My cousin can find me from mile away
I force a smile on to my face.
"Hi Alice"
" Oh my god I had the most stressful day, I had to work with this girl at school who bothers me so much"
"Oh really"
sound familiar.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

This thrilling classic represents the struggle between two souls in one body. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is being told from the point of Mr Utterson an old lawyer whom has been tangled into the mysterious will of his friend Henry Jekyll, Who has requested that in the circumstance of his death or disappearance his fortune is to be given to a cruel and mysterious Mr Hyde. I believe that this book had a very stimulating start although it has dissatisfying end. I would recommend this novel to an individual who is interested in mental disorders.

slice of life

I stare out the window as we pull into our drive way. We just came back from a three day trip to copper. I smile, it's great to be home. I stretch my legs as my Mom parks in the garage. The car comes to a stop. I get out of the car and open the door. Inside my dog lays her face buried in her paws, her tail up and wagging. Then she springs to her feet filled with excitement and runs to me I sit down to greet her. and watch as she jumps up and licks my face repeatedly.
"Hi Domino!" my brother says with more enthusiasm then he has ever talked to anyone with.
Domino greats my family and then plays a game I like to call "I think you are my toy and I want to eat you" how to play: self explanatory.
My mom, soon annoyed with the game, scoops Domino up in her arms. Domino, still wanting to play wriggles around like a fish out of water, trying to eat my moms arm. My Mom just rubs her belly and three seconds later Domino sits still with her eyes closed. I laugh at the sudden transition and take Domino up in my arms and pet her.

Frogive Me Lenord Peacock

Frogive Me Lenord Peacock is a outstanding story about a boy struggle through life and his decision to end it. This book has a continuing theme of an eighteen year old reflecting on his life throughout one day. The reason why this is key is because he has is going to kill himself at the end of the day. I thought that this book captured a struggle of thoughts and the fear to express yourself. I would recommend this book to someone who has a bully problem and is not afraid to try something new.

Alligant

Alligant is the last book in the Divergent series. I personally loved the book but I hated the end because it is very unsatisfying. The Divergent series is set in the future were there are five factions that represent a honorable quality.   For each faction there are certain jobs clothes ect. Tris the main character is a Divergent which means she is immune to simulations and serums which are used often in there society. In Alligant Tris discovers that the city she has called home for years is an experiment funded by what is technically the government. I did not like this book very much so I would only recommend this to people who are reading the divergent series.

slice of break

I wake up woozy with an odd wet feeling on my face.
I look up and I see a giant dog on my bed licking me.
"Who are you." I say still tiered scratching the dog behind it's ears. Then I remember last night.
" Oh hi Ripley" I smile. Ripley was the Rubys foster dog, last night when we were at there house, we thought that we should take Ripley for one night, since our dog Domino had liked her.
I sit up and start pet the dog and notice something.
"Look Ripley the house next door has painted the roof." I say still woozy from sleep. I blink and rub my eyes and realize it's not paint it's snow. I jump out of bed and look out my window at snow covered yards and trees. Ripley jumps up on the window sill and looks outside.
"Look Ripley" I say " it's snow."
