This book was absolutely phenomenal. The quirky characters and the close relationships they had with each other pull in the reader. It uses suspense to keep the reader constantly guessing what will happen next. In this book Chris Crutcher confronts many mature themes such as mental illness, racism, suicide, and death, while still being able to keep the book light hearted in many places.

Different perspectives are written throughout the novel, but Cassie’s perspective took up the most pages, making her a very important protagonist. The book started off with Cassie in

The Infinite Sea, by Rick Yancey, is the second installment in the 5th wave series. A follow up to the New York Times bestseller, The Infinite Sea continues the story of Cassie Sullivan and her friends weathering the inhumane conditions brought on by the “Others”. The book has an intriguing plot, but Rick Yancey focuses too much on the characterization, and makes the book too wordy, killing the momentum of the story therefore boring readers. However the book makes up for this by brilliantly using dialogue to finish with a powerful cliffhanger, captivating those who make it to the end of the book. Being an apocalyptic story, by nature, The Infinite Sea should be filled to the brim with action, as well as a steady uncovering of the secrets

Thesis Statement: In the book Walk Two Moons, by Sharon Creech, Sal changes significantly from a lot of external forces in her life. Robin Sharma once said, “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.” This quote really relates to Sal because when her mother left she was a mess and it was hard for her. Later, she moved and more things changed and things happened that she didn't expect to happen.

It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and

Although Sammy quit, he found a sense of freedom in these girls, He wanted to be different just like them and that is what he pursued after the right motivation.

Also, because something special happens in every chapter, you won’t get bored and you just want to keep reading and reading. I would especially recommend this novel to a friend that likes animals because this book focuses mainly on a baby chimpanzee and how Ben’s family was teaching it American Sign Language so that they could communicate with him. As you read on in the book, it gets more interesting because Zan, the baby chimpanzee learned more words and is now able to form sentences! However, further on in the book, Ben’s family lost the funds that they needed to take care of Zan and they didn’t have enough money to keep Zan, so they had to sell him.

In the drama-pact film, Moonrise Kingdom, director Wes Anderson emphasizes the coming-of-age through his quirky characters and comedic dialect. The film is formed into a dreamlike fable, creating a sense of order and symmetry, as symmetry is marveled throughout the film, not only with the use of mise-en-scene but with character depiction. Anderson defines the identities of the two stroppy, rebellious characters, Suzy Bishop and Sam, by fabricating adult-like humor and scenes dramatized by 12 year olds. Suzy and Sam’s insurgence is out of the norm for children; two pen pals walking away from their caretakers and falsifying a life of their own. Unlikely scenarios are captured through each frame, but within each catastrophic event in the midst is a moral;
