"Likes & Dislikes"

 The book i was reading was"Cirque Du Freak Vampire Mountain." This book , to me, i found was very interesting to read. It is about a guy named Darren who is a half vampire. He wasn't always like that , he was once a human, until his destiny clashed. At the start Darren wanted to become full human again, so he  decides to go on a expidition to Vampire Mountain were he faces the vampire council, he goes with his pal Mr. Crepsley. In the end he decides he wants to become a full vampire, but the vampire council don't let become a full vampire that easily he must prove himself , & must do 5 trials of challenges. In the beginning when i first started reading this book , it didnt catch my attention, but once i started reading more and more it was very interesting to read about. I liked that that the book was very descriptive. I also liked that it had a recap of what happend in the previous story so that i could understand it more. What i disliked about this book is that it was sort of a little confusing. Also it skips from one part to another, but other than that this was a great book to read.

"Type of Genre"

The type of genre the book i read is realistic fiction. "The perks of being a wallflower"by Stephen Chbosky, is mainly about a kid named charlie who is a freshman in highschool. His friend Michael dies , && charlie is left to be all alone at school. He then meets new friends. Basically charlie talks about life in highschool, and what its like, and what people  have to go through. I enjoyed this story very muuch. Some things i liked about this book were alot of things. One of the things i liked is that i could kind of relate to some of the things in the story. Like the fact that Charlie was a freshman just like i am. And Charlie feels lonely after he loses his bestfriend & feel all alone, that was exactly how i felt when i lost my bestfriend, but i eventually got over it just like the character charlie did, and became closer to other people, and then eventually i got my bestfriend back. In the story there was quite a few things i disliked about the book. Some of things i disliked was that it sort of didnt go that much into detail, with some stuff, and some stuff were a bit to explicit. another thing i disliked was the ending, it was a bit confusing, it didnt really make sense at first.

 The next book i would like to read, is "Child called"it"." The type of genre that book is is nonfiction. i've been really wanting to read that book because i heard it was a really good book.

"Theme"

The theme for "Breathing Underwater" is that even though you have anger bottled up inside, its not okay to take it out on someone. an example from my book is that, Nick's father would abuse him, physically. He wasn't able to control it, or tell anybody about since he was already 16 years old. therefore he had Anger inside him

"Breathing Underwater"

My book "Breathing underwater" can relate to this one movie I had watched on Lifetime. The movie was about this priests wife who murders her husband. She murders him, because he abuses her both physically & mentally. That movie canrelate to my book because The main character "Nick" would verbally, & physically abuse his girlfriend, "Caitlyn" until finally she had enough, and decided to do something to make it stop.

"Breathing Underwater"

This image relates to my book "Breathing  Underwater" because Nicholas or "Nick" would act very bipolar. From one minute he could be happy & then any little thing could set him off & get gim very upset. It's like her had two personalities, one being happt, & one being very angry.

"The fight"

Nicholas & Caitlyn were very much in love. Although they would get into many fights. And one night when Caitlyn was doing a preformance after Nick told her not to, Nick found out & became so enraged that he beat her up. I predict that Caitlyn will never be able to forgive Nick for what he had done to her. & she will press charges against him for abusing her.

"Breathing Underwater"

There are some similarities between the book & my life. Nicholas Andreas was in a relationship with a girl named Caitlyn McCourt. They were in love, or well thought they were in love. Nicholas would act bipolar, get mad for no reason constantly accuse caitlyn of lying & cheating & just didn't trust Caitlyn at all. It came to be soo much that one day Nicholas"Nick" slapped her. It didnt end there, after a while he ended up beating her up. Finally she got a restraining order. Some of the stuff in this book can relate to me. I had a boyfriend. We were together for six months. He would always contstnly accuse me of lying & cheating. Which i never did. He would act bipolar. He could change from mood to mood in a matter of seconds. He would get mad over the littlest things. There was no trust in our relationship. I always told him"What's love without trust?" So eventually i had to end it. It became too much for me. Although he never hit me. He has accused me, but he always respected me. He never once layed a hand on me. Thats what was different from the book & my life, he never ever! hit me.So some of the things from this book are similar to my life But not all. .
