Black City by Elizabeth Richard

The main characters Natalie and Ash hid their forbidden love from the government and army. Ash is a dark magical creature while Natalie is human. When an outbreak started killing all the Darkling’s including Ash’s mom Natalie and Ash try to find out the cause. I think that their love is truly powerful because it’s illegal to love each other. Natalie realizes that Ash isn’t human but he isn’t a monster either. I think it’s dangerous for them to be together but then they will have to try and change the people of the city’s mind.

          

             I don’t know how they’re going to turn out in the future because of their forbidden love. But I think its sweet that they love each other even though they are different.  But when Ash gets in trouble for killing a tracker to save Natalie’s life he has to be executed it was heartbreaking to see Ash almost die. But it’s strong for Natalie when she brings him back to life with their love.

                         

             When I finished reading the book I felt hope for the city and hope for the love that they had. I felt sad that the war had only just begun for them. I noticed that there was a lot of betrayal in the book. I also noticed that people only cared for themselves to survive. I felt that they was a deeper meaning to all the fighting and war between humans and darklings.

                         The wish by Gail Carson Levine

In the book the wish Wilma Sturtz bumps into a witch who grants her wish to become poplar. The thing I find interesting was that being popular doesn’t really matter a lot to me it seems stupid that someone judges other for their appearances. Some people don’t even know each other well and yet they judge them. I think Wilma needs to realize who she actually is.

           

I also think people should accept who they are and live happy. Also that people shoudnt judge each other even with their flaws. Wilma realizes its different to be popular but she misses her old life. I think this is a good choice because its who she is and she accepts it. I find this inspiring and that there’s a moral of the story. In my opinion its better to be yourself than faking perfection.

          

  I think that you shouldn’t change yourself to get someone to like you or be really popular. Cause doing something that makes you happy is worthwhile and time fly’s when you’re having fun. It angers me to find that someone who I barely know judges me. But they don’t understand. Its not worth being perfect having flaws makes you unique.

 The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

              This book made me open my eyes to see the world in better/worse place. The Lorax pointed out the flaws and consequences while the business man ignored the drastic effects. In the end the man didn’t realized what he had until it’s gone. This shows that the environment is important to many animals and even people/ imaginary creatures.

              

            I think it’s actually ridiculous and trouble causing to wreck something beautiful and graceful. If I were the business man I would listen or even care to realize my effects on the environment and how it affects everyone even me. It doesn’t seem thought provoking to actually destroy something without realizing how drastic it can affect him. It’s sad to not notice something until it’s gone. I feel hopeful towards the end of the book.

           

              I feel hopeful because there’s still a seed which could bring back will be the creatures. It seems like it’s not the end yet and eventually things normal. It’s sad that the business man couldn’t save any trees cause of his greediness.
