I Will Save You

By Anonymous

“We only reveal what we want other people to know, right? It's like we create fictional characters for the public. And inside we're somebody totally different.” This relates to you doesn’t it? This quote is one of many quotes that are included in the young adult fiction book, I Will Save You, by Matt De La Peña. Matt De La Peña has also written the books Mexican Whiteboy, The Living, The Hunted, along with many other books. The book I’ve recently been reading, I Will Save You has brought so much life back to reading for me. I couldn’t drop that book because the moment I stopped reading from it was the moment a new surprising cliffhanger came along. This is what the book was all about. Kidd Ellison is struck with a hard life to keep up with. His mother loves him and tries to keep him safe from his abusive father that mistakes love for his fists. Kidd becomes post traumatic after an incident that changes who he is. He comes upon meeting a former surfing star, Mr. Red that usual...

They’re told by Peter, Jessica, Luke, Alexia, Jeffrey, Daniella and Anna. All of them don’t really look forward to going to school. They all have their own stories and things to put up with. They all talk about their own stories, but once you read all of their stories, you end up seeing the connection between all of them. Once they start going to school they me...

Outsiders Going Beyond the Book: Making Connections

By Anonymous
Reading the article, Herd Behavior made me come upon these connections to the book our class recently finished reading, The Outsiders. It made me realize not only how similar the main character Ponyboy was, but the whole Greasers group. Adding onto that, it also made me realize that both the article and The Outsiders book brought some insight to the same theme. That theme was that everybody would follow the group's behaviors. They wouldn't just focus on them, if it involved one of their group members it would involve everyone else part of the group. The article Herd Behavior states, “All of the animals band closely together in a group and, in panic mode, move together as a unit. It is very unusual for a member of the herd to stray from the movement of the unit.” (Paragraph 1)  Throughout the story, no matter what happened, the Greasers always stayed together through everything. All the rough times they went through, they fought those times and got passed them. And all those g...
