Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood

I am reading the book "getting revenge on Lauren Wood." It's a very funny, exciting and thrilling book. I love the characters. The Main character Helen, is a really sweet girl inside, but she has to get revenge on her ex-best friend, Lauren. Lauren ditched her for popularity, and shes been popular ever since, but in 8th Grade Helen moves to a new town, 3 years later shes back, new, different, and still wants to get revenge on Lauren. I can sort of relate to Helen too, because my ex- Best friend also ditched me for popularity, drugs, and alcohol. I don't think ditching your best-friend is the best thing, because being up there only lasts for a little while, but then someone else will be more popular than you, and your own followers will follow the "new, hot and beautiful" creation.
I predict Lauren will soon notice Helen, and be quite embarrassed to even face her. Like what would the most popular person in the school say, "I'm so sorry for being a mean person to you?" like no. That won't happen, not at all.
I also think Lauren and Helen will be close friends, and Helen will think, wow, so this is what she left me for, I would do the same. Maybe Helen will notice, after all popularity is great, so I shouldn't ruin it by being rude to Helen.
People always say, Forgive and Forget. But is it always that simple?

out of my mind end readers response

The book out of my mind really changed my life. I re-read this book again and I really had empathy for the main character Melody. I felt bad for her because she couldn't say anything or help the world be a better place. She couldn't move, walk or talk; she was like a Helen Keller, or at least she felt like her, hopeless, alone. Many people look down upon her because shes disabled and has no voice. But I really don't think to bully is the right thing, there are many other ways to help someone, but in this cruel world everyone only cares about themselves while Melody cares about everyone she loves. I think people should be rude to get some sort of sad and mean message.

I believe that everyone should get a chance. I thought it was great when she had a speaker and stuff, because it meant a lot to her and also to me as a person.
This book showed me that people are harsh, but you can always have a friend along the way. also people are judgemental towards everyone, so make a change and stop the judging.

"Nice People"

        Some people may look, or seem nice on the outside. In my book: This Lullaby, by Sarah Dessen the main character Remy is a sweet girl on the outside, but are her emotions going to stick inside of her forever? Well who knows, she's fed up with her mother trying to find "Love" after her 5th marriage, or maybe she's fed up with her Boyfriend. She's always kept things to herself, some people may think that's a great thing others may think its a bad thing. For me, I think its not healthy to keep something inside of you all the time, I usually talk to my friends if something is bothering me, or I even talk to Donna my guidance counselor to tell her stuff. Remy really needs someone to trustfully talk to! Is Remy a good person though? I believe that people who are quiet and agree with everything are just weird because you can always expect the same answer... "so, Remy does my hair look good today" YEAH. "so, Remy do you like my shoes?" YEAH. Basically the same old, same old thing!
        Why doesn't Remy tell her mom that she shouldn't get married again? Well, I think she loves her mom, and doesn't want people to get hurt by telling her that, such as her mom, and her moms Fiance. But she needs to know that her mom loves her more than anyone in the whole world. And that no one can replace her, because she's kept Remy! I think she's embaresed though because her mom is getting married for the 5th time. I wouldn't want my mom getting hurt or anyone else getting hurt though...
       Her mom is always, divorcing, marring, breaking up, dating, all the time. So, why is it hard for Remy to break up with her boyfriend?! I think she doesn't want to hurt him because she knows how hard it is to follow with a Relationship, and  maybe wants to prove her mom wrong!
        If you're not willing to speak up then, at least talk to someone, because keeping things to yourself is not the best thing in the world. many posibilites you just need to chose the right thing to do, if you don't want your loved one to get hurt save them, by telling them that.

L.A Candy end reading response

     I read the book L.A candy, by Lauren Conrad. One of the main themes is social class and Labels in the "Hollywood" scene. Being famous in America can have its Ups and Downs. For Jane (the main character) she has her Ups, According to Madison. Madison is one of those people who NEEDs to be famous in the world. She needs to be the prettiest one, the one everyone likes and cares about. Kind of like the popular one in school voted for homecoming queen.

     Some people are so obsessed with fame, that they will do anything to be in the spotlight. Madison trys to catch Jane into doing horrible things on T.V like sleeping with a guy, and many other things. But Reality Isn't always real. We have many fake people in the world, especially on reality TV.
     In our world  we have so many people that you can't trust, people who want popularity and act like your friend are stuck up, rude, obnoxious because its all a Lie. Every little puzzle piece is a cold lie. And you really have to think to yourself is this person just using me or actually being an amazing person who you need more than anyone in the world. Jane noticed that Madison is fake.  They stopped being friends, and Madison's dream was crushed...
But Karma is always there, and hits you when your done doing something bad.
