The Girl in 6E

The book I was reading this trimester is called The Girl in 6E by A.R. Torre. This is not an appropriate book it has many sexual themes and violence. I bought the book at Target because it looked interesting. I read the back of the book, which said "My life is simple as long as I follow the rules: 1. Don't leave the apartment. 2. Never let anyone in. 3. Don't kill anyone. It had many details that would have important to know before I purchased it. I immediately started reading it once I got home and figured it's inappropriate then I skipped ahead and it got interesting. It was like a normal life goes bad action story.

The story mainly starts with the protagonist Deanna who is tortured end tormented by her mothers psychotic demons making life a living hell. She also goes by "Jessica" when doing her "work" is showing the reader her everyday life locked away in her apartment. She locks herself away from every living being to keep from killing them. At night her demons are the worse she paid her neighbor, Simon, to lock her away at night since she had a new door built so there's a lock on the inside and also a different lock on the outside. Instead of going out she has a delivery for everything and with the same delivery man, Jeremy, who knows to place the package and leave. She has an online therapist, Dr. Derek, to console her demons or talk about her "work". Lots of her clients are the same but some she finds help in since she can't leave. Mike being one of those since he can hack and learn whatever about whoever. He is one of the biggest help but still under appreciated in this story. One day she gets a suspicious client who goes by the online name "RalphMA35" has questionable intentions, not for Deanna but for someone, maybe their life. Deanna makes it her job not to only find out how to help but also wondering if she can make good from her bad." The mind is it's own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven."

I liked the book a lot because it's sad for her to have mental issues but it's also intriguing since I don't have that mindset. It's interesting to see what she decides to do and how she must live her life to keep it. Even though she has issues she still has a heart and wants to live a normal life and use her problems for someone else. This would target readers who likes violence and overcoming mental issues. I don't think everyone will like it and this being one of the many times I've read this book it's not as interesting as before but I still remember the first, the second and the third time I've read it and I still enjoyed it.

Sword Art Online: Mother's Rosary

The book I read is  a fictional novel called Sword Art online: Mother’s Rosary, volume seven, by Reki Kawahara.He has written many books, one of these include Sword Art online: Progressive, volume one. This book is similar to Mother’s Rosary, volume seven because both are deadly game and the tale that starts at the beginning of kirito and Asuna’s epic adventure. Mother’s Rosary is a game called Kirito and sinon’s  battle with death gun is over but fantasy,science fiction.

The main characters in this book is Asuna,the new duelist with a custom sword skill is defeating all comers including kirito! But when she goes to face this duelist,she receives something she never expected ,Lisbeth who fights against Asuna to get the Sword with bad intention. “January 6th ,2026- the living wood stump table in the cabin’s main room was surrounded by familiar face”.        

I liked the book because it how strong, and brave someone can be in order to overcome the obstacles and accomplish what they want.The target audience of the book is teenagers ranging from 12 to 16. Not all reader would enjoy the book. The audience should read this book because this book has an interesting story line,some brave characters, life experience and great characteristics strengths.

The Watsons Go to Birmingham

This book is called the “Watsons go to Birmingham”. The author of this book is Christopher Paul Curtis. Some of the other books he has written is “ Bucking the Sarge” and “ Elijah of Buxton”. This is a fictional story. I think one theme of this book is friendship. Example of friendship is when Kenny was laughing at a mean joke someone said about Rufus.  After that Rufus was not Kenny's friend anymore. Later Kenny apologizes to Rufus and they become friends again. This book took place in 1963. The family lives in Flint Michigan.

The protagonist, a 10-year-old boy is the middle child of the Watson family. Who  occasionally gets picked on by his older brother and people in his school because his personality. Byron is Kenny's older brother, and the oldest child of the family. Byron does everything to be “cool”. He disobeys his parents a lot. His consequences for disobeying his parents is being sent to live with his strict grandma ,sand, for the whole summer, and getting his hair shaved off. Joey is their sister, She is the youngest in the family. She is five years old and cares very much about her brothers. Wilona Is The mother of the Watson family. Daniel is father. Grandma Sands is Wilona’s mother, and the kid’s grandma. She lives in Birmingham Alabama, She is very strict.  Wilona sent Byron there to correct his bad behavior.

Byron tries to act “cool”, but that lead to very bad consequences; what happened to his hair? Kenny is very curious about colliers landing, it's where the little boy drowned in a whirlpool. Since it's forbidden he had to check it out. Let's just say he was very close to death “ ‘ Momma! Momma! Help me…’ ” Joey attends Sunday school. Eventually everyone hears almost like a huge thunder clap, shaking the whole house. He came from Joey Sunday school, The church.

I really like this book. It has so many interesting events. This book is written for people about the age of 11 and up. Not everyone is going to like this book, Maybe because you have different taste in book types. I really recommend this book to everyone. It's very serious and funny. If you like fiction books then this is just the one for you.

The name of one of the books that I read was Naruto volume 66. It is a shonenjump manga written by Masashi, Kishimoto. In this story Naruto is going to have to use all of his nine tails power if he want a chance to defeat Madara, Obito and the whites zetsu’s. Meanwhile a big help is on the way.

It is the fourth ninja world war, the shinobi allied force which consists of all the clans, are fighting against Madara, Obito and the white zetsu’s. Backup is on the way and when backup finally arrives the other ninja’s will be surprised to see who they are, and it may change the war strategies. The main character is Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. I discovered that Sasuke said “a lot’s happened but I’ve decided to protect Konoha village and then I’ll become Hokage”.

I like this book it’s a good book because it shows how Naruto’s dream to reunite with Sasuke came true. You guys should try and read this book too, it talks about unity, mysteries and sacrifices. This book was made for people who love manga, people who have never known this book and those who like adventure stories and even those who want to try something new.

Eddie gave Marcus the gun and he put it in his pocket quickly, so they approached the man Marcus showed the man the gun, the man was shaking and gave them all he's money by mistake Marcus mistakenly shoot the man on his stomach, Eddie and Marcus take off with a full speed when they reached home Marcus heart was beating very fast like a drum.

“I could have held the gun” Eddie said in a afraid voice.

“Yea I told I couldn’t hold it, I just pray is not dead” Marcus said in a shaky voice.

“He's not dead stop saying that I believe he's still alive” Eddie said.

I like this book because it’s about teenagers lifestyle in New York , this book is written for people that want to know about teen lifestyle in New York and I think they are going to love this book.

I recommend teenagers to read this book because it talks about lifestyle and consequences about life.

Mainly the residents are assigned as doctors or even a cook. In his community it is rare to see people differently from each other. Everyone is supposedly the same.

I really do recommend this book if you're a scientific fiction lover because it brings you into a whole new world and knowing how detail it is  and with a lot of drama. It brings you this sort of curiosity and feels like you're in the book. I absolutely love this book because it brings me into the book and gives me this really mysterious vibe to it. It's a really good book and I really do recommend you to read it.
