Reading Journal 16: Monster

Quote: "You think we're going to win?"

Comment: This is a line that the main character of the book, Steve, says. He is a 16 year old boy accused of murdering someone. The reason he says this is because he's asking his attorney about his case and the trial. To me, I get the feeling of fear from Steve because he is unsure of what will happen that day in the trial. I think that I would also be scared, that's why I'm never planing on getting accused of murder. :D

Question: Will Steve be found guilty in the trial?

Reading Journal 15: Pretty Little Devils(dont read this if you want to read the book... it will spoil it for you)

Quote: "That's why I'm Happy2BEEllen!"

Comment: OH MY Gosh I knew Ellen was the killer! She was on my list of killer gusses paper. And they almost had me thinking it was Sylvia.... Crazy right?! You think I would know better but noooo I just had to fall for the dumb tricks of the book. Hmmm well clearly Nancy Holder is a good author because she sure had me fooled! WOW what a good book, except for the next 3 months I'm going to be scared that Ellen is going to come kill me... Even though I know its just a book. Oh well! Okay I'm done.... bye!

Question: Why the heck did Ellen kill her own boyfriend? Maybe to make it look like Sylvia did? Who knows...

Reading Journal 14: Divas

Quote: "The best way to keep a man is to keep a man waiting".

Comment: This quote was something that a mother told her daughter as advice to her daughter about men. What she was saying is that the best way to keep a guy is by not having sex with him. There are often times when boys say sweet things or do sweet things just to get a girl to sleep with them. But in the advice the mother was saying that you shouldn't do that because once they get what they want, they kick you to the curb, which is what happens to the girl, Diamond, in the book. I think that the advice the mom gives is really good because it is often very true.

Question: will the Divine Divas win the country wide Christian singing competition?
