The Handmaid’s tale is a book written by Margaret Atwood and this book is about a possibly near future in which Offred is one of the Handmaids and her purpose is to breed and if she doesnt get pregnant she will be sent into a toxic work camp or become a sex slave, and she used to be a normal woman but all of that is now gone.

“No guns though, even they could not be trusted with guns.
Guns were for the guards, specially picked from the Angels. The guards weren’t allowed inside the building except when called, and we weren’t allowed out, except for our walks, twice daily, two by two around the football field which was enclosed now by a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. The Angels stood outside it with their backs to us. They were objects of fear to us, but of something else as well. If only they would look. If only we could talk to them.
Something could be exchanged, we thought, some deal made, some trade-off, we still had our bodies. That was our fantasy.”

I chose this quote since i think its crazy to believe that this a book about a posibly near future which can be really scary and i think this quote explains how they treat the handmaids and how they dont fell good and feel scared which is sad and scary.

P.S I still love you  

 

 This book is about Lara Jean a girl who started dating Peter a very popular, who she thought she didn’t had a chance with him. But when Peter braakes up with his girlfriend, Lara Jean and Peter make up a plan to fake they are dating to make Peter’s girlfriend jealous. But they fell in love and started dating until they got in a fight and stopped talking to eachother but what Peter doesn’t know is that Lara Jean still loves him. 

 

Hope leaps into my heart like Jamie Fox-Pickle leaps into my bed- swift and unbidden. But I turn back around, like Ugh, what do you want now, so he doesn’t see it. 

“What’s that you’ve got crumpled up in your pocket?” My hand flies down to my pocket. “That? Oh, it’s noth-ing. It’s junk mail. It was on the ground by your mailbox. No worries, I’ll recycle it for you.” 

“Give it to me and I’ll recycle it right now,” he says, holding out his hand. 

“No, I said I’ll do it.” I reach down to stuff the letter deeper into my coat pocket, and Peter tries to snatch it out of my hand. I twist away from him wildly and hold on tight. 

He shrugs, and I relax and let out a small sigh of relief, and then he lunges forward and plucks it away from me. 

 

 

I like this quote because in the book this is the exact moment in which Peter realizes Lara Jean still loves him . If this part wouldnt have happened they would still be mad at eachother, but when Peter reads Lara Jean’s letter he realizes Lara still loves him.

 

The book i am reading is called “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins  is a book about twelve districts and how each year the cruel capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to participate in the Hunger Games where they fight to death to entretain others. I started reading this book and from what I have read I am really liking the This book, and this is actually a book I enjoy reading since its about adventure and it’s a very entertaining book, I don’t like reading and this book made me realize that if u choose the right book u can actually start enjoying reading and making it a habit.

“Prim!” The strangled cry comes out of my throat, and my muscles begin to move again. “Prim!” I don’t need to shove through the crowd. The other kids make way immediately allowing me a straight path to the stage. I reach her just as she is about to mount the steps. With one sweep of my arm, I push her behind me.
“I volunteer!” I gasp. “I volunteer as tribute!”
There’s some confusion on the stage. District 12 hasnt had a volunteer in decades and the protocol has become rusty. The rule is chat once a tribute’s name has been pulled from the ball another eligible boy, if a boy’s name has been read or girl, if a girl’s name has been read, can step forward to take his or her place.”

I think this is a very important part of the book since its shows the start of Katniss challenge and the start of her story in the hunger games and the way she volunteers for her sister shows how much she cares about her family; I thought It was very brave of Katniss to give her life and volunteer for her sister that tells us a lot about herself and how she is brave.

After finishing the book I liked it a lot and it was a book that I enjoyed it was fun but it was also mysterious to read their adventures, but it also had a lot of meaning and morals that taught me many things about life and how different people can be very good together, complementing each other with the things they have making each other the best of their versions . 

 

 That was a year ago. 

I hid in the down under for days and days and kept the door closed, which is why I missed the funeral and the Fair Gwen going away. Gram told me about it afterwards, how she couldn’t stand to live in the house with Kevin gone, and who could blame her? 

Grim threatened to unscrew my bedroom door but he never did, he just kept saying I should come out for Gram’s sake, and sometimes she’d come down and say I should come out for Grim’s sake, and so on and so forth until finally I gave up and came out. 

I don’t know if this makes sense, but for a long time I felt like I was a balloon, and somebody had let the air out of me. I didn’t care if I ever got the air back, because what does it really matter if we’re all going to die in the end? 

That’s how down I was feeling, and sorry for myself. 

 

This book was all happy and fun, a great book about friends and their adventures but like everything, everything always comes to an end and max’s end came when Kevin died, Kevin meant everything to Max, and he was the only one that was there for him. At the end the moral of the story is to enjoy every second in life and don’t spend your time sad, spend the time you have with the people you love doing what you enjoy , At the end we don’t know for how we will be here so we might as well just enjoy and be thankful for everything. 

 

 

I am really liking this book so far and I have enjoyed reading this book and the connection between Max and Kevin and the way they complement each other with what they have makes me enjoy this book , they help each other in everything and that makes them Freak the mighty, being opposites for them is great and they get along very good no matter what they look like or how they are not alike.  

 

Finally, Mrs. Addison has to come out and pull me away until the ambulance leaves with just the light going and not the siren. 

“You’ve had quite a day, haven’t you?” she says, walking me back into the school. 

“It’s not me who had quite a day,” I say. 

“Kevin is the one. All he did was try and eat his lunch.” 

Mrs. Addison gives me this look, and then she goes, “You’re going to be okay, Maxwell Kane. I am sure of it now. 

 

I choose this quote since when they start to be more friends, they help each other in everything, and they are always together supporting each other in everything they can and even if they have a bad day they are there for each other and their friendship is very honest and valuable which may be hard to find sometimes, their friendship is very valuable and the way they connect being opposites makes me enjoy this book. 

 

 

 

Freak the mighty a story about a very smart kid but with a disease that made him very small named Kevin, moves to a new city and he meets Max a vey big kid that was not so smart so when they became friends they helped eachother on everything and together they were unstoppable and go through many challenges that make them both stronger.

“Okay, boys, you’d better give us your names and we’ll call your mothers,” this one cop is saying, and there’s this other guy who is looking at me funny and he says,”Hey, isn’t that Kenny Kane’s boy? Must be. Old Killer Kane, is he still inside?” Freak is still holding tight to my shoulders and when they ask him for his name, he says, “We’re Freak the Mighty, that’s who we are. We’re nine feet tall, in case you haven’t noticed. That’s how it started, really, how we got to be Freak the Mighty, slaying dragons and fools and walking high above the world.

I chose this quote because i think it is the most important quote of the story since Max is a big kid but he is not so smart, on the other side Kevin is vey smart but he is a very small kid, this quote tells us how Max and Kevin became Freak The Mighty and they help eachother because, Kevin and Max dont feel powerfull with themselves but since Max has what Kevin needs and Kevin has what Max needs together they become Freak The Mighty and they are powerfull enough to survive school and many other challenges that they will face.
