Crank By Ellen Hopkins

In the book I have been seeing that how people get addicted to one thing looking like they want attention by doing something that would mess you up. But the real thing i am trying to say is that if you are looking for attention get it by doing something else do not make it something that messes you up in ways that are horrible.

 "To think about besides my dad's less than palatial apartment. If he qualified for royalty in true blue collar kingdom. I had zero desire to see how the working class lived" this is a quote from the book that i thought would relate to what I would be talking about. this quote is showing me that the main character Bree is someone who cares less about she thinks of something that could be important or not. but also show that you cannot trust her with something, she may seem like a good person, but she is someone who is doing something that is really unnecessary and that is showing how other people would react. another part of the quote is showing  how her mother and father are split up and that in a child's life this could effect them and their future because what you are doing to them is making them forget that you were together and how much fun you had. but when something like that impacts a child's life it could make them do something you have never wanted them to do and you could have prevented it. 


  when you are in a family that has that kind of problem you would have to explain slowly to a child and show them nothing has really changed and make things seem like that they are the same. Something like this makes me think of how i know a couple of friends that are in that kind of situation.

THE GENIUS IN ALL OF US by David Shenk

Question: What would she look like? What will she be like? pg 15

   In the book they talk about how people think they get their  intelligence from their family or relatives, but that's not how your genes work. The author Shenk talks about how your genes are just something that are just made up and you get your intelligence from how you are raised and what environment you are put in. 

   The environment is something that is said in the book many time and for me this is something that is important and answers the two questions. The questions ask "how the girl will look like" well pretty much she is going to look like her father or mother, and in the book it talks about how the environment is an important aspect of the book and determining if the baby look like the mother or Father you would have to see how they nurture the baby and a how they are working things out with diets and nutrients. so the baby will turn out how it was basically raised and look like the mother or father. 
   nurture is something that is said a lot in the book and that this would answer the second question. well nurture is something that would have to do to the environment you are living in and how you are feeding and raising the kid. So those things I just said are something that would show how the girl would turn out because it would really be depending on how the baby is raised and what environment they would be living. You are some one who needs to nurture what you have, and develop the person to be a  better person and give what you didn't have when growing up

Hurricans

             I have been reading has become interesting to me cause in a situation where there are things other people don't know about you can be a person who could be helpful and use what you have learned from the book. When reading the book and reading about the peoples stories was interesting because it’s something kind shown an example of how something would work out.


Hurricane is a book that I like because it would be making you think about a situation that would have a similarity to what the person in the book had and you could see if any of those things would help you and show what things are more of something you shouldn’t do and should do. After finishing the book I was thinking about if the author was in some kind of situation and had to write about it because it was probably to show how things like this should really be well thought about if you were to stay in your home or even a friend’s home.
