BOOK ESSAY 2
Books:crash compound
BY FLAVIO.ANGELILLO
Have you ever wanted a friend to stand up for you or a person that would stick with you no matter what? Well, I have just the 2 books for you. In the book Crash a boy named Crash has friend problems. He struggles with popularity and needs help to find a new friend. If you ever have a gut feeling and you don't know whether to trust it or not, read Compound, a girl named Eli has a gut feeling something is wrong so she tries to find out what's wrong and no matter what stands in her way she never gives up no matter what.

My first theme is friendship in the book Crash. Crash is a quarterback and he struggles with popularity. He has friends but they don’t know the real him. When Crash met his friend at first he didn't say anything. They just got in a fight to get to know each other. The fight was not physical but it was still a fight. It was a food fight, his friend just started to throw food at Crash and Crash fought back. At the end they put their differences aside and became best friends, playing from

day to day, talking about football and turned an anger filled fight into a fun competition. Just like that the food fight that they had gotten into was in the past.

My second piece of evidence is the time it was raining and Crash still had to play against another team so he and his friend tried playing against the other team but when they got on the field it was slippery and they felt when they got back up everyone was laughing and Crash had enough of it so he went over and waited for the game to start and when he did he slipped. A few minutes later he had lost many of the games and he lost the whole game itself when he got home. The day was extremely dull, his friend was there too. While they were sitting, his friend said ”its ok, we will get them back” and Crash said, ”yea we will wipe those smiles off their faces”. After that they started talking about there revenge and how they were going to take them down and they had a good time.

Lastly, when Crash was playing a football game his friend was benched and they were playing against the other team.

It was raining but even though he was benched he still cheered Crash on. Crash didn't think he could beat the other team especially without his friend but his friend was still there. He didn't just get up and leave the field he sat and supported him. Crash was happy his friend was there even when crash had lost so many games. He stayed and Crash played hard but he just kept failing and he thought he couldn't beat them because as they were winning Crash was stuck at 0. Crash thought he couldn't make it, it only took one more goal and they would win but then he heard his friend cheer him on and he got the strength to get up and he ran and started scoring goals. He didn't give up, his friend was cheering for him goal after goal. He gained more courage and at the end he won his final goal, winning the

game.

In Compound, one theme is never giving up. A girl named Eli had a brother named Eddy and she wanted to live up to him. Her family was extremely rich and her dad was the owner of a colossal company. The dad had made a decision and had decided that he was going to make a bunker for the family because he said a nuclear explosion was going to hit and he had to protect them. Eli thought she had lost Eddy but if she hadn't pushed on if she gave up she wouldn't have found out the truth that the father had lied. She didn't give up she didn't give up on eddy she knew he had to be out there and as she suspected something she looked around for eddy figuring more and more out without her courage she would have been in her room with her tablet. My second piece of evidence on never giving up is when Eli had always thought of her dad as a hero but after she found out that there was no bomb about to hit and that her dad lied just to keep them there she was devastated she couldn't be near him but she had to get out she had to find eddy so she kept on going the thought of her brother gave her strength to get up so she acted like everything was normal she believed in herself she tried her best and she didn't stop not for anything she said to herself that just because her dad is the person doing it doesnt mean its right she didn't give up on the prize she wanted her freedom back she found eddy on the computer which gave her hope even if she might die she would rather die trying than to give up especially so easy so she kept going. My 3rd and final piece of evidence for not giving up is when Eli was determined to find out a way to get out of the compound but she didn't know how so she thought long and hard about her decisions and then she found out a way to find the code to get out of the compound she isn't gonna let her dad win not without a fight she's never gonna give up on finding a way out she wasn't gonna stay in the compound her whole life so she was going around the house searching for the code still hoping still knowing her brother and best friend eddie is alive and waiting for her and eddie would never give up on her so why should she give up on him eventually she found the code but her father was there but she tried her best to stop him and she did at the end she and her family got out but not because she was gonna quit but because she believed in herself and never gave up.

My final theme is Loyalty and i'm gonna use both compound and crash for this my first piece of evidence is when eli could have easily escaped herself but she got her family out she didn't just leave them she stuck with them she was loyal to her family she ignored what her dad said and she tried her best to help them escape even if helping them would cost her her life she would do anything to protect her family and crash sticks with his friends because when he was playing a football game his friend was doing terrible and he might lose the game if he tries helping him but he did he helped him understand football even if he might lose the game he stuck with his friend he was being loyal to him even if he could easily take down the players and win he helped him the best he could and at the end they ended up winning the game. My second piece of evidence for loyalty is In the middle of playing on the tablet she eli thought about her big brother eddy she was loyal to him she would do anything for eddy and she didn't believe he was dead so she tried connecting to the internet she did a lot but none of it worked so she stole her dad's tablet and found out eddie was alive she was loyal enough to steal a tablet so loyal that she wouldn't believe for a second he was dead and in crash crashes friend was in a game crash was playing but his friend was benched but even though he was benched he cheered on his friend he was loyal because even though he was benched and had to watch crash he could have walked away but he didn't he was loyal because he stood there cheering him on no matter what. My third and final piece of evidence is in the compound eli talked to her sister and she said she was evil and she told her she would do anything for herself and eli said”no” but later in the story the sister gets nicer and nicer and in one part of the story the sister does everything in her power to help eli and elis sister was loyal to her because no matter what she stayed with her and helped her with everything she never gave up on eli and always stood by her side and finally in the book crash crashes sister has a friend named webb who is much older than her and goes to crashes school bus crash bullies her but even though the brother is mean webb is loyal because she would stick with crashes sister no matter how tough things got and when the brother bullied her she put it in the past when she played with crashes sister.
