It had been more than 3 weeks after i read this novel, but i still can see Sade’s poor father lock Sade got bullied by Marcia and how much she miss her family in Nigeria and worried about them. “Thousands of miles away from home… from papa, Uncle Tunde, Mama Buki.. Grandma and all the family.. and, most of all, from Mama.. forever ever.” This quote has show how painful she is and how much she miss her family. Even though this quote is not as strong as the other quotes in the story, but this quotes is really meanful and it related to me.

‘ ” I told them that you children would be my best medicine!” papa stoked their heads. ‘ I can see that Sade’s father is really love his daughter and son, and how much they mean to him. I can see how happy when they meet together again. I hear their happy tears dropping down and their father warm voice. I also can feel that the father is really miss his daughter and son, also how much he love them. This story dialogue is really strong, even through there’s not much of dialogue going on, all the characters such as Sade, Femi, their father, their uncle, they’re all speaks the truth. They talk like a really person in real life, they believe in what they’re saying which is also make the reader feel like they are inside the story, really realistic.

Rebecca is a dynamic character, because even through she know that she might have not enough money for schooling but she did tried her best in everything. She studied days and nights, and read loads of different books. I had learned that no matter what will happen, just try my best. It was amazing that when the author described how hard she had studied and worked at the same time and always tried her best when thought she’s not sure. At the end, Aunt Miranda has passes away because of illness, but Rebecca has realized that through the pass few years, aunt Miranda scolded her all the time because she wanted Rebecca to be a young lady with a good manner. If I have chance to meet Rebecca, I’ll say that she’s the best. I love to be like her one day, I love the way she balance in life and how she act to everyone so kindly and lovely.

While i was reading, i always wonder how can Allie get along with Rosemary or will her little cat will stay alive. I had guessed that later, Rosemary will get bullied back by all the girls in 4th grade and get kick out of school. I think the best part in this story is when Allie learned to deal with all the facts that she had to faced and also to control herself. She could just run to the office and tell the teacher that Rosemary was bullying but she didn’t. She tried to get along with the scary girl and be a nice friend. That’s show a good friend and a friend that always think for others.

I had been to Los Angles, and had gone up to an apartment where one of my friend lived. It was also really neat and tidy too. This story is long ago. It had been told by Lenny Samuel after his weird investigation. The setting down affect Lenny is when Lenny went to Benny Greep’s apartment who is Elaine’s boyfriend. But things doesn’t go like what Lenny except, Benny Greep was dead. He got shot on the left hand side and flowing inside the bath tub. Then  Lenny called the police and the police arrested him because they thought Lenny is the one who killed Benny Greep. The setting on the story was great! It was right on time and on the right place which is made the story more interesting and mysterious. Like the big fight between Lenny Samuel and the two criminal on the Las Cabanas Bar Club and also how Benny Greep’s death body flowing on the bath tub inside the toilet, filling with blood.

Malcolm is a flat type of character because he has no feeling, just because the wanted the silence for studying and he has to payed for it is his life. From Malcolm, i had learned that don’t be so tough to myself and should listen to everyone suggestion and choice out the best for myself. I don’t want to be like Malcolm, he died in painful and feel regret to himself.

Maybe other people just want to help you and your life will ended up just like that, die in painful.

Ling has a very happy life when she was 9 year old. Her parents both were worked in the best hospital in Wuhan. Ling love to study English with her father. Every thing was perfect before the Chairman Mao came and took over China. All luxuries such as flowers fabric and delicious food that Ling usually to have, now disappear. All the people in the West became Chairman Mao‘s suspect. Then one of the Chairman Mao‘s man moved into Ling‘s apartment. The Wong‘s family, Ling‘s upstair neighbor, Ling‘s family annd the Wong‘s family is best friend. But then the Wong‘s family got arrested away, also Ling‘s parents got demote from the work. Ling‘s school life is a nightmare, she become enemy with the son of the Chairman Mao‘s man and she got beat up so badly at school and also being bully because the seen as bourgeois. Then later on, Ling‘s father also got took away from the Chairman Mao‘s men. One day, Ling‘s father has saved a Chairman Mao‘s man. Ling and her mother must survive alone as further horrors around. At the end, the government‘s people had came, save everyone and arrested all the Chairman Mao‘s to the jail forever.

In this story, the main part is when Chairman Mao took over China and lead everyone, and the finally the China‘s government people had stand up and fight for their country again for freedom and justice. The ending in this story was incredible, there‘s no other ending that can beat is story‘s ending. I would never think that the ending will be this great. With me the beat part in the story is when Ling stand up and fight for herself and her family when her friend in school called her family is anti-revolution and using bad words to talk about her parents. Even though she might die or being arrest to the labor camp for fight with the Chairman Mao‘s man but she still beat him up anyway. That part show out the loves from her to her father and mother, also the bravest in Ling when she stand up and fight with a bunch of boys standing around her.

I like the way this author written the story because he really showed me what’s going on in the story, not telling me. He gave me the feeling like I was there, right inside the story, right the time that Frankenstein told this story. I felt really want to be like Frankenstein, he’s like genius and he can make his own design. The imagery that the author left in my mind is when Frankenstein chasing the Monster everywhere after the Monster killed all people that he loved. Frankenstein never thinking at to giving up anything. Although he know that chasing the Monster will make nothing change again but he still want to chase the Monster and kill him.

“My teeth started to chatter. My legs felt weak. I leaned on a tree for support and tried to take a deep breathe.” I can see that Frankenstein is out of his power by chasing the monster but he still not quit and keep chasing him. Also i can feel that Frankenstein is in a pain. He’s out of his energy, his body getting weak but he still try to chasing and kill the Monster. Although through is statement, it’s show that the author is very described and he focus on the main topic and slow spread it out, he put his feeling into the story so he make the reader feel realistic.

There is one dialogue when the Monster and Frankenstein talked. Through this conversation between the 2 men, it show that the monster is not a bad guy, he just hate Frankenstein because he brought him to this world with an ugly look and everyone in this world scared of the him. He doesn’t mean to harm Frankenstein. Although he is a monster but the way he talk jut exactly like a human. ” People were shocked and scared. They screamed and ran away at the sight of me. Some even hit me with the sticks and stones because they were afraid. That was nothing i could do except run away and hide.” When i read this part, i can felt his feeling, i can feeling his painful. He used the word that described himself and the people that saw him. He expressed all his feeling through every single words that he said.

I think this story is really mean-full. After i read this book i started to be like Oliver Twist. He ran away for his freedom and after all the big adventures before he found his truth people, the one who love him and understand him. I also dislike the part when the evil man killed a girl because she’s trying to protect Oliver. And of course, because Oliver Twist is a good, kind and honest boy ever. For the whole journey, he just be his-self and not anyone else. He stayed with the crime and thieves but he’s know he’s not one of them and never will be one of them. I think the author this story did and really great job on showing the mood of the characters because he used all the described words which can make the reader easy to imagine what happen in their head. But mostly in this story, almost all the mood is sad. It was a sad story but there also some crazy and funny parts but not as much as the sad parts.

“It threw me into a state of panic, no doubt because too much nervous anticipation for this very moment.” The author was using a really strong describing word to show the girl feeling. Its like there is nothing that the girl can do in the right moment except panic and nervous, also things like that happened to me a lot. I love the way this author written the story. She was using a 13 years old girl thinking, feeling and seeing to write the story. Almost all the words are easy to understand and it gave me some ideas in how and how to be balance in life too.

I do love to read some more books from this author, she understand what a teenager needs and she alway has a good showing sentences. The important is that all of her books, always have some advices that really helpful for me. The dialogue was incredible. First i thought this book was written for me, i mean like everything in here mostly is something that related me.
