Final Blog Reflections

I believe that my best blog was my blog on The Fault in our Stars: Finished Review. This is my best post because it tells you how Hazel has grown through out the book. This post also shows how the author, John Green got his inspiration to write this book. This blog post shows that i really got into this book and really enjoyed it. I looked up the background information  on how John Green was inspired to write this book and i was fasinated on how he was inspired. I am also very excited on the fact that they are making a movie out of this book, and i plan on going to see it when it comes out this summer.

For next tri, I plan on being a better reader by being more organised with mt blog and when i read. I would like to improve on my reading habits, and not just putting blogging and reading to the side. I would also like to pick better books that i actually like, unlike the past couple years when i would just pick a book to have a book. This year i have actually been books that look interesting. In writing, i would like to improve on putting more detail into my writing and using TIQA more often. I really struggled with keeping up with mt blog post, comments, and reading. I overcame this by just sitting down with no distraction and focusing on my blog. A strength i had this tri, was i was really good with Romeo and Juliet and keeping up and understanding.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

After reading The Fault in our Stars, I was searching for another book like that because the book really got my attention. Then I came across the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. a book taking place during the Holocaust. I find the Holocaust as a very interesting time, it's very brutal and horrible but I find it Fascinating. I did some research on the book, and turns out that there is a movie. I watched the movie and it was amazing, the ending is sad but I don't want to give away any spoilers. This book is about an 8 year old German boy who makes friends with an 8 year old Jewish boy. Even though there friends, The little Jewish kid can't go out to play and the little German kid can't understand as to why he can't.

The author, John Boyne, Wrote this book in a matter of 2 and a half days with almost not sleep. With in 2 months of the book being released, it had sold over 5 million copies worldwide. Here in the U.S. the book was published as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas using the correct English spelling considering the author was from Ireland. I'm expecting this to be a good book. Has anyone read this book? If so, what's your opinion on it?

The Fault in our Stars: Finished Review

I finished reading my book The Fault in our Stars and it was probably one of the best books I have ever read. The way that the Author was building up Hazel, was amazing. Hazel started off as this girl who didn't want to go to this Group, but then she sees a boy which keeps her to going to this group and being more out there. This is a book that you don't want to miss out on. John Green did an amazing job with this book and i was curious as to how he got his inspiration. Turns out, Green got his inspiration for this book when he went a cancer center and was upset with all the kids dying at such a young age. Green did a great job with making the book sad, romantic, and funny at the same time.

As i was reading the book I was wondering if there was a movie. So i checked and I got so excited knowing that they were making a film out of this book. Now i'm just wondering if there going to mess it up and it worse than the book or better. I plan on reading this book again right before i see the movie just to compare them. I rate this book as a 5 star book and recommend it to anyone who likes the elements of comedy, some sadness, and romance.
