Be More Chill

1102 Words3 Pages

In the interesting novel Be More Chill, we go into the life of a typical nerd who like any other wishes to be cool and known among the popular kids. He's a tall scrawny boy with really bad dandruff and who sits quietly in class every day. Everyone talks around him thinking that he doesn't hear what he or she says and just ignores him but the truth is he hears every word. Especially a girl named Jenna who talks so much crap about her best friend to her other friend Anna. Whenever he gets made fun off in any way he has a sheet of paper in which he puts a tally next to the incident. But day after day in his math class he only stares at the girl in whom he is deeply in lust with but she doesn't know. Not until one day when he hears about this super computer chip that u take as a pill and it stays in your head telling you what to wear, how to talk, and who to talk to (it has conversations with you in your head). Jeremy steals his Aunts valuable beanie babies and sells them on eBay to collect the 600 dollars he needs to be able to pay for this highly effective pill. It does a magnificent job completely transforming the nerdy Jeremy into a stud that every girl wants to get with. But yet unfortunately things don't always come out as planned as the "squip" leads Jeremy into a world of lies, drugs, sex and violence. Worse yet he never ended up with the girl of his dreams, Christine. My recommendation for this book would be that this book is just a fun read, nothing to serious. But yet it's a book were its easy to relate to were a lot of the situations that happen in the book happen in young teenage life as well. Like for example the desperation to fit in. kids will do most likely anything to be part of "the cool group" hopefully not take some sort of pill that will talk to you in your head. But other things like being pressured into talking drugs. Sneaking out of the house to go to some party and not coming back until the next day at dawn without getting caught. These days we do so much and our parents know so little.

  • Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Great Book for High Schoolers

    ...ersonally, I fell in love with the book. Ray Bradbury has a more unique style in writing than most authors. I believe it is a very appropriate book for high school and I would recommend it to everyone. I think anyone and everyone can connect someway to the main themes of the novel. Everyone has or will undergo a stage in life where they don’t feel accepted. Then it is up to that person to chose how they decided to take it. In the book some characters decided to fight the evil and found themselves doing so. People get so caught up in what people think when really they should just accept themselves, “Accept everything about yourself -- I mean everything, you are you and that is the beginning and the end -- no apologies, no regrets” (Clark Moustakas). This book could show that no matter the age or who you are anything is possible and not even the sky is the limit.

    ...hing I want to report about this book is youth education. The school environment the author present is shocked to me: too many groups and “combat” among them, just as Greg said” how it is possible to exist in a place that socks so bad”! In addition, I don’t think it is a good way for youth that parents are involved too much in teenagers’ world. Just like Greg’s mother forces him to do things that Greg is not willing to do, even eavesdrops on Greg and Rachel outside the door. Also, there is a lot of dirty talking in this book, which I think it is bad for the growth of teenagers.

    After hearing a brief description of the story you might think that there aren’t many good things about they story. However, this is false, there are many good things in this book that makes it a good read. First being that it is a very intriguing book. This is good for teenage readers because often times they don’t willingly want to read, and this story will force the teenage or any reader to continue the book and continue reading the series. Secondly, this is a “good” book because it has a good balance of violence. This is a good thing because it provides readers with an exciting read. We hear and even see violence in our everyday life and I believe that it is something teenagers should be exposed to. This book gives children an insig...

If they are bewildered at the complexity of modern life, unsure of themselves, shocked by the spectacle of perversity and evil around them - are not adults equally shocked by the knowledge that even children cannot escape this contact and awareness? & nbsp;

  • The Berlin Boxing Club

    I really enjoyed this book because it was not a story about the middle of the Second World War. Instead it was right before, when things were not as bad, but they were bad enough. It helped me understand how people lived before the hatred grew and how families were torn apart right from the beginning. Likewise, it gave me hope to see that not everything was destroyed and that some people were able to escape. I would recommend this book more for boys but for girls as well, between the ages of 13-15. Even though Karl’s age throughout the book is 14-17, the novel was written more for my age group. Once again this was an amazing book that I could not put down, and I am sure many others were not able to either.

    I think there could be multiple things that the author could have intended to get through to the readers. She could have wanted to teach or show young adults how hard life could get under certain circumstances. She also could have meant to reveal to kids that life isn’t always nice,easy or as pretty as you might have thought it was as a little kid. The true intent of the book could very well be something completely different from both of these things.

  • Coming of Age: A Thematic Unit Plan

    3047 Words  | 7 Pages

    Everyone knows that growing up is not an easy thing to do. In fact, the teenage years can be one of the most tumultuous stages of a person’s life. Changes take place daily, making it seem as though a person has no control over his life. These years often are marked by feelings of insecurity, hostility, and uncertainty. Despite this, however, the fact remains that the teenage years also serve as a time of personal growth and maturation. Because these years are so important, it is my belief that schools would be wise to consider adding a unit devoted to the study of texts that chronicle this growth process. I believe that many students would benefit greatly from a curricular unit centered around the “coming of age” theme.

    The majority of the books I have read in the past fall under this category, I enjoy reading books that have the genre of young adult fiction because the characters are usually developing and becoming more mature along with the book and young adult fictions always have a sense of reality even though it's a fiction book. This books reminded me of one of my all time favourite book called The Hunger Games series. By reading the book and recognising the genre I realised that this book was going to be similar to the hunger games because they both have the dystopia genre in common . In both books, the main characters are both living under the horrible laws of their government without happiness or joy. Therefore I chose the book because the story appealed to me and made me want to learn more about the
