*NEW* Uglies By: Scott Westerfeld

Medium #13 Pretend you can spend the entire day with a character in the book. Which character would you choose? Why? What would you do?

If I could spend a day with any character in the book I would spend it with Tally. She sounds like a good person, she is very adventurous and whatever she has her mind set on that is what she does. I would pick Tally because, I think she is more like me. All of her other friends are very adventurous... even more than Tally. I think that if I got to spend a day with her we would ride on one of those hovercraft things. I think that would be really cool. We would probably sneak around pretty town and ugly town. Just to be different. I would like to go meet all of her friends, especially Shay and Peris. We might even to the forest and we might even eat some of the food that Tally ate while she was in the smoke. Then we might stay at the smoke for a while and then go back to ugly town to hang out.

I am not sure if I would have gotten changed to become pretty or not. I mean yes all of your friends and everybody would be pretty and be living in pretty town but you could always just sneak over there like Tally did at the beginning of the book. But I probably would end up doing it anyway,so I could be with everybody. But I think it would be cool to visit Tally and everybody in the future. Just to see what some things might actually be like for us.

*NEW* What my Girlfriend Doesn't Know By: Sonya Sones

Easy #8 Write a letter to a character in the book.

Dear Sophie,
How are you doing today? I'm good. I feel for you when you found out about Murphy and what he did to you. But you know I really don't blame him because, in real life that happens all the time. But I am pretty sure that you have gotten over it, or that is what it seems like on the last page. lol.... :) But in the beginning you was so sweet to Murphy. Going over there and sitting by him even though there probably was this little part of you that want to go and sit by your friends. He found a good girlfriend and he almost ruined it. But you are a good person and you know what you are doing.... hopefully!! JK JK... :)

*NEW* What my Girlfriend Doesn't Know By: Sonya Sones

Easy #9 Write a letter to the author of the book

Dear Sonya Sones,
This book is pretty good. Personally I don't think it was as good as your others but.... it was still good. I like how on this one you decided to tell this book in a boys point of view. This is like a sequel almost to your book What My Mother Doesn't Know because you have a dude named Murphy and the girls name is Sophie. I thought that was pretty cool. :) I also like how Sophie treats Murphy in the beginning. She chooses to sit with him instead of her friends even though he is not the coolest or cutest person in the school or even the whole world. Then at the end of the book when Sophie and Murphy had a fight.... it was so sad. :( Granted things like that happen all of the time in the real world. Then he had to go off and get a new girl and they just had a fight. I suppose many people in this day and age do that. I am pretty sure I would feel the same way as Sophie did when she found out that Murphy got another girl. I feel sorry for her but at the same time, I don't. You cannot expect people not to move on. That's just life. But ohh well.
You are a great author! =D

*NEW* New Moon By: Stephenie Meyer

Medium #18 Find a song or poem that relates to the theme of your book. Explain the similarities.

Far Away
By: Nickelback

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

This song is describing the relationship that Bella and Edward have in the book New Moon.

This song reminds me so much of the book New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. In the beginning of this book Edward and Bella were just like they were in Twilight, they were close and everything seemed to be going good. I thought they would be together forever and nothing bad would happen. Then Edward decided that he was too dangerous for Bella and he moved away. He took everything that he had ever given Bella. He made it as though he never existed. In this song the two people are far away, just like Edward and Bella. But Bella knows that she loves Edward and wants him to come back so everything will be normal. In the song the person comes back (just like Edward does in the book) and they figure out that they both love each other. And he says (both in the book and in the song) that he won't leave anymore. Which is a good thing for Bella and all of the Edward fans out there! =D Even though in this song it doesn't mention anything about getting close to somebody else while the other person was gone but that is what happened. Bella and Jacob become really.... I mean REALLY close. Then Edward came back and everything went back to how it was supposed to be. Edward and Bella.

*NEW* Prom By: Laurie Halse Anderson

Easy #8 Write a letter to a character in the book

Dear Ashley,
At the beginging of the book I thought you really didn't know how to be friends with anybody. You always made jokes and stuff about the prom and that was very important part of your friends life. But then you started becoming better when you found out what your math teacher did to the money. You always made me laugh, and your boyfriend T.J. sounds like a major jerk. I thought it was really nice of you to help out with the committee even though you had no disire to go to prom. But it all turned out good for you, even if you don't want to admit it I bet you had fun. Your friend Natalia sounds like a really good friend. I feel for you having to work at that discusting pizza place dressing up as a rat must really stink... literally! :)
