When you are in public and glance at someone who looks out of the ordinary you would call them weird. Why? Is it because of the color of their skin or the clothes they wear, they may look weird to you but some people understand why they look or dress the way that they do. In The Book “Monster”, written by Walter Dean Myers, one man stands out to people in a big way and everyone judges him by what he looks like on the outside.
When someone is dressed or looks the way they do don’t be too quick to judge them because there is always a reason. The intro of the book makes it seem almost impossible for a young man Steve Harmon, 17, who is on trial for murder impossible to be declared not-guilty. Everyone in the court room including the jury takes one look at Steve and decides that he did the crime because of the color of his skin. I have felt the way that stave has one time when I was at school, they pulled 5 people into the office because someone did something in the locker room and they thought that it was one of us. The other four guys in the office were wearing ties because they had a basketball game after school and I was wearing my jeans down low and a skater t-shirt, they thought for a fact that it had to be me. I said to myself there was no getting out of this one and in that situation I think I felt like Steve except for in a less serious situation.
In this book there are many lessons, but I think that one of the main lessons is that society is not always fair to people. Walter Dean years did an extraordinary job in the aspect that he really captured what it felt like to feel insecure about yourself. When you read this book it really puts you inside the main characters body and it makes you wonder if the writer felt or experienced something like this in his life.

Fear
Fear
Fear is something that can affect your everyday life, just do not think that you are the only one feeling it because fear is an everyday battle that we have to face. The feeling of intensity when you are reading this book is extraordinary and makes you feel some of the same feelings the main character has. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton captures a clip of what life truly is like inside an active gang.
These two gangs fighting like this can really relate to the average persons everyday arguments like politics and money. Both of the gangs at this point really don’t know if they should feel scared or not, they don’t know who’s going to do what. I have had that feeling before when i had a neighbor that was way older than me and he kept on threatening me, I didn’t feel scared butt I probably should have. This is probably how Ponyboy feels right now he’s scared but if he follows the rules he really doesn’t have to be.
In chapter 10 when it says, “as pony boy wanders through the hospitals in a daze he keeps saying to himself that did not die; he is in denial about Johnnie’s death. I have felt this way too for seven years my friend Matthew lived in my neighborhood until one day he moved. I didn’t think this was ever going to happen but it finally did and I still didn’t know why but it stunk. That is I think how pony boy feels right now because this all seems unreal to him but all that he knows is it sucks.
S.E. Hinton really did a good job of capturing an image of a true rivalry between two gangs and when I read this book the question that comes to my mind is how did the author think of all the dialogue in this book or gang talk, did she write this book because maybe she had encounters with a gang in real life. This is a great book that teaching the reader a few different perspectives that people can have on fear.

इनफिनिटी chamber
Golden stars in the night sky
shining so bright i cant imagine why
as i am staring up i see an endless amount
so many stars so many to count
What is that a shooting star
its going so fast, its shooting so far
i make a wish as i close my eyes
i hope it come true,after so many tries
among the stars i feel so huge
i am floating in space, sliding like a luge
its getting darker i shut my eyes
but i awaken in my room hearing my little sisters crys
shining so bright i cant imagine why
as i am staring up i see an endless amount
so many stars so many to count
What is that a shooting star
its going so fast, its shooting so far
i make a wish as i close my eyes
i hope it come true,after so many tries
among the stars i feel so huge
i am floating in space, sliding like a luge
its getting darker i shut my eyes

SPEAK
Have you ever felt that feeling that the only thing that people are talking about is you? One brave character in this extraordinary book “Speak”, by Laurie Halse Anderson, Really captures what the true meaning of a problem at school really is.
In the first quarter Melinda says “gym should be illegal”. And why she had said this is because when there are so many people hanging out with friends and you are not you get that feeling that you have no friends, that nobody likes you, I think that is what Melinda felt. I have felt that feeling at my school before because Last year I had one good friend in gym and when he was gone I did not really have anybody to walk with and when I saw people looking at me I thought that they were talking about me like making fun of me. I think I felt the same feeling that Melinda felt when I was in that situation.
Something in this book that really stood out to me was the couch. The couch is similar to Melinda, because one side is where she eats her pepperoni pizza, and when she flips the cushions over the other side symbolizes “Nobody ever eats in the dining room!” Melinda is like this too because at school she is very lonely and is quick to judge people, but at home it is almost like she forgets about school and she forgets about her stress. I along with about everyone I know acts this way too because we all act a little different when we are with are friends then when we are at home with our parents. Which is why we are all two sided; just like the couch.
When I think about this book the first thing that comes to my mind is; “Did the author write this book from experience? Because the author wrote a story about problems and experiences your main character has, you would think that Laurie Halse Anderson wrote this book from experience. After reading this phenomenal book when the word Loneliness is said; I think of Melinda.
