summer reading part 4

Of the choices on the list I picked this one because I had heard about it from friends and it just sounded like a great story. And the cover is pretty cool and mysterious. And I think it’s a book that is really for kids are age and there is so much to relate to. And I saw some personal connections between me and the novel such as always worrying and never thinking things all the way through. I would recommend this book to freshman all the way to adults it has a really good story just a lot of cursing and inappropriate situations. And I think this book is just outstanding and would recommend it to anybody (obviously within the age group) because it’s just so relatable in so many ways. But I can see why some people would not enjoy the book is much as I did. Some reason would be profanity, some boring parts, and situations that are inappropriate. I mean half the book talks about him buying cigarettes for the colonel but besides that there is some humor some appropriate some not and some drama between Alaska and Miles. And I enjoyed reading this book and I feel others would to.

“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.” Pg.220 (John Green) This quote is so true in so many ways. I mean we live like we only have one life until you get older and realize you need to live to the fullest with set standards. And honestly I think anybody can relate to this quote. This quote means you cannot change anything but the things you can change should be advanced and modified. And everyone any age shape or size should always live life to the fullest and this quote is one of my favorites and really shows what the book is all about and it shows a lot of thought.
