New inde. reading book(3rd one):: BAD

    I just started reading the book "Bad" by Jean Ferris. To me the beginning is amazing. It talks about this girl that lives with her father because he mother had died. She doesn't listen to her fathers wishes of being a good girl so she gets caught steeling a store with friend. At the end those "friends" aren't there to take the blame with her. She is the only one that gets caught and she gets caught with the gun. She gets sent to juvie. That's all I have read. I'm excited to see what interesting stuff awaits in this book. In my opinion I really think it is a mavelous book and I've just read the first few page. I predict that it will just get more interesting and it will start talking about all her miseries and mistakes she has regret.

The End of: The Skin I'm In

I liked the book "The Skin I'm In" and how "powerful" it was. To me it had excellent dialogue.  I love how it explained how Maleeka felt and the attitude she had. It told that she is kind of a sassy girl. Even though its a short book I learned a lot about her life and how it connected to mine. The book got my attention quick because its about a girl that's in JR. high and had many problems just like us teenagers. We as students in high school like to read book that talk about someone our age and how we can relate. At the end of the book to me it was a shocking ending that she was going to stand up for herself and tell on Char that it was her idea about the indecent. It was a amazing/shocking ending but I can't give out anymore details because you just have to read it and find out....;]:]

Connections to "The Skin I'm In"

The book I'm reading is called "The Skin I'm In." The main character of the book is Maleeka. She is bullied because of her very dark skin. Maleeka really hates it because kids at school tease her about it. She is also teased about the clothes her mom makes for her, since her father died and they now are poor. I think I can compare to her in a different matter. Maleeka lost her father and now has to wear what her mom makes her and like me, since my grandfather died its been kind of the same. the difference is that my mom doesn't make my clothes, I just have to wear the same thing every week. It's like she hardly buys me things since my grandfather died because he was like my dad when my real dad was at work. For example, we had a strong relation ship. He took care of me since I was 11 months old and ever since then my parents have to work so I would stay with my grandfather. My lifes' story is similar to Maleekas except my was my grandfather and hers was her father. And she had to wear what her mom made her and I wear the same thing every week.
