Imagine you are at a bar and you meet this really cute, nice, smart guy and then the next day you come to your English class he is right there writing his name on the board. At first you think he is just another student but then he says "Hello everyone, I am your new teacher". That is what happened to Aria Montgomery one of the main characters in the book by Sara Shepard. What would you do if this has happened to you, would you break up with him or give it a chance?
There are many things wrong with dating your teacher (my opinion). First of all how do you think her parents would react to something like this? If the principal of the school would find out he would fire the teacher and expel the student. The teacher might even end up being jailed. I know its kinda harsh just for dating someone you really like but its the law. If you would just break up with him all problems would be gone but if you didn't trouble was coming your way.
Aria ends up choosing the hard road but who could blame her when they are really in love. At first i thought that was stupid of her but then when i realized how happy shew was i realized that their romance was the one of my favorite parts in the book. What I got from this is that if you really love someone you'll go the extra distance.

In the book Pretty Little Liars: Flawless #2 (and #1)there has been a person who knows every pretty little secret. This person can also be known as the antagonist. Throughout the book 'A' has been leaving messages to the girls. What kind of messages? you might think. Well messages that you don't want to get. Those messages that you get scared by. 'A' has been sending the girls threatening things about secrets only the dead girl knew. Was this 'A' a friend of Ali's? Well i don't know maybe it was or maybe its just a stoker that has been following them fro the past years.
The antagonist must be everywhere at once. 'A' knows everything from the moment it happens. Once this 'A' person has sent a message to Hanna (One of the main characters) about her dad. How can 'A' know this has happened if it literally happened a couple of seconds ago. Strange huh. Lately in the book 'A' has been sending messages like:
" I'm watching you, you'd better do what is say or else
-A"
This 'A' person sure is on creepy stoker. I really wonder what the or else is all about. Any who what I got out of the book is that this person is one you don't want to hang out with or even be in the same room as them because they are one creepy person. Another thing that i found out about this character is that it can be anyone!
Some people are starting to act like it so are they 'A' or does 'A' have helpers?

Pretty Little Liars
All Stories pretty much have a conflict in them. Without conflicts books would be boring. In the book Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard there is more than just one conflict there are many. There is a girl that vanished she has not been seen in 3 years and everyone thinks she is dead but maybe she isn't and is just playing a mean trick on her friends and family. This one problem of a girl dieing has turned into more problems with people getting black mailed and innocent people dieing. How did this all happen? No one knows except for the one that is dead.
Imagine being at a funeral of your closest friends that knew all your secrets and than you get a text from the dead girls phone. How do you react to something as freaky as that and the message says: "Don't worry your secrets are safe with me in the grave as long as you listen to what ever I say"
-A
Every time you get a text you have to do something and if you don't every one will know your secret and some can even get hurt from a little text like that.
If I was that person getting messages i would be freaked out knowing that if that person has done something to my friends they can easily do something to me.
Have you ever gotten a message from a blocked number saying that they are watching you but it just ends up being a friend. Well imagine it wasn't your friend and it was actually a really person that was trying to hurt you. I would be terrified. So now imagine how the girls in the book feel.

The Help
This book is wonderfully enjoyable. Have you ever needed to write some specific topic for class and you had a totally different idea, so you decided to do what the teacher wanted and what you wanted. Well that is sort of what happens in The Help. There is a white women in the book and her name is Skeeter. She has to write something in the news paper and the topic is how to clean things. The bad part is that she has no idea how to clean anything because ever since she was born there was help (Also known as a maid). So she ends up going to one of the maids to ask her questions about how to clean. As she's been doing this for weeks now she comes up with a better idea. That idea was to write a book about the help and how there life is like.
Many times she was told that it would be a stupid idea writing about the help. Something that was mentioned a lot was "Who would read a book that has to do with the help". Although Skeeter was let down a lot of times she still went on in writing the book. I'm guessing that the whole point of that part of the book was that you shouldn't give up no matter what people say.
With that I am going to say that I agree because if you really love doing something in life and people say you shouldn't do it. Well sadly some people listen and stop doing what they love and then they might regret it. Not so long ago my friend was one of those people that gave up her dream of becoming a singer because she was told she was not good enough. She loved to sing, she would pretty much sing every were we went. Also one of my other friend loves to draw she was auditioning for a school with a art program but she was once again that she was not good enough. Guess what she didn't give up she kept trying and trying until she was the best she can be.
So remember there is no reason to give up because its not worth it!

The Help
The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a wonderful novel that is written in the early to late 1900's. This book is written as if by a person that was a maid so back than it was people with dark colored skin. In the book it talks about how the blacks and whites live in different neighbor hoods just because of there skin color. You might think its racist but its true back than these people didn't get along so well. They would get along well so long as they were the same skin color. There are things that really bothered me in that time period one thing was how the people treated each other, they really had no respect for you if you had darker skin than they had what also bothered me is that some people were rich and had plenty of money but they would only pay the help up to two dollars a day that is just so sad. Now there is this big question wondering around in my head and that is why did people treat each other like this?
Back than I realized the help (the people that help keep the house clean and take care of children) was treated terribly and no one really cared. For example in the book the people that have the big houses spread a rumor about how one of the help stole something from them, they did that so when they fire that person they would not be able to get any other job. Well why would they do that you ask? well they did that because some of these people were really rude and had nothing better to do with there life. Well that is just my opinion I also think that every person should be treated with respect no matter what shape, size, or color of skin.
Overall i am really enjoying this book. It really sucks you in. One you have started it you really can't stop reading it. What really worries me is that although most of this nonsense has stopped there are still people out there that have problems with people's color of skin and how they look. I really think that that should stop because I say that treat people the way you want to be treated. I say that because if you are nice to people they will be nice to you, but if you are mean to people there is a big chance they will be mean to you!

Inkheart
So far in the book Inkheart by Cornelia Funke the main character and her father Mo set out to her aunts house because something bad has happened. A stranger to Meggie but not Mo has come to there house with bad news that a bad guy is coming to look for something that Mo has. A book. It is no normal book in fact it is a magical book. Meggie and Mo have gone away from the house because Mo knew the first place the bad guy would be looking is there house.
Right now Mo is keeping lots of secrets to himself and not telling Meggie what they are although she really wants to know. All Meggie knows is that there is a book involved and someone wants it really bad. Meggie also knows that she is going to a place she has never been in. Over her life time her and her father had gone to many family members but never have they gone to one of her aunts. Meggie is scared and doesn't know what the aunt is going to be like for now she is just imagining the bad and hoping for the good.
In her aunts house there are lots of books every were around the house although there is a pretty big room used as a library. Meggie has never seen so much books at once in her whole entire life and she can't wait to read them all, if she has time before they have to go back home again. Right in the middle of the library was a huge book that was probably the biggest in the whole library Meggie was most interested in that one she couldn't wait to get her hands on it. I stopped at that part and can't wait to see what happens next!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Coming towards the end of the book I realized it just gets better and better. Harry has now joined the Quidditch team for flying a broom as if he were a pro although he was no really allowed to ride it while the teacher was gone but this was all because of a boy named Malfoy. Harry does not trust Malfoy because he is mean, rude and a Slytherin. Slytherin is not to be trusted because Harry has heard terrible things about it. Now Harry has two best friends Ron and Hermione they meat on the train on there way to Hogwarts.
For now all Harry knows is that Malfoy is his only enemy but although he knows about he who's name shall not be said Harry sees him as no threat. SO far Harry is having a wonderful time at the school as he finds out more about his past from teachers, friends and even some he doesn't know. Now Harry has been lucky not getting in trouble for flying the broom or sneaking out pass curfew. Harry has no idea what is waiting for him in his future.
Harry has come into this magical world without knowing a thing about magic and things like that but he has a talent that he doesn't realize he has. Although he may not be as good as Hermione he is still good. Harry has been trying his best in school because he does not want to go back to the Dursley's house. He knows that if he goes back things will go back to normal and he would have to live a horrible life as he did before.
