smile

        

I read a book called Smile. By Raina Telgemeier. It’s about a girl that lost her two front teeth because her and her friends wanted to race her to her house when her friend’s mom dropped her off home she tripped on a rock and fell face first. Her family came running out to see what happened. In the book she went through a lot with friends, boys, family, growing up, and her teeth most of all. Her friends weren’t really good friends to her but she didn’t have any other friends so i think she had to say with them because she has no other friends.

 During her graduation all of her friends were crying and hugging and was like omg I’m going to miss you and stuff like that. She felt really left out because she really did have anyone to say omg i love you omg I’m going to miss you all so i thought that she felt really left out. when it was her first day of high school one of her "friends" from middle school Melissa was at the bus stop and i think Rania’s whole mood had changed because when she got up she look all happy and stuff and then when she saw Melissa her mood had changed.

 I learn a lot in this book because it kind of teaches you to choose your friends wisely and most importantly take care of your teeth. I really like this book and I would recommend this book to people. This book is one of my favorite books because I can kind of relate to this book when it says choice your friends wisely. Because I can honestly say that I don’t really do a good job with picking friends.

"AM I BLUE?"

I read a story called “Am I Blue” by: Bruce Coville. It’s about a boy named Vincent that’s gay and doesn’t really know what it means to be gay.  Until he met his fairy god father that’s also gay. Vincent’s fairy god father taught him what it meant to be gay.  He was scared because he didn’t know what other people would think and say about him .He didn’t want to be judged. But his fairy god father told him not to worry about what other people say about you. And that to be who you are and people will except you for who you, and don’t doubt yourself because your not who other people want you to be. To be yourself. His fairy god father told him some really encouraging things. His fairy god father should Vincent that if nobody else is there for him he will always be there for him no matter what happened. I think that’s exactly what Vincent needs in his life well not just Vincent that’s what everyone needs in there life a support system.

In conclusion, Vincent learned to except who he is and not to try to change himself for anyone. I think the fairy god father was really helpful in Vincent’s life and that he really made Vincent feel loved and care for. i also think that vincent should have never felt ashamed in who he was he should of been proud to call himself gay.
