I will be explaining to you my point of view on a few books I have read that I ended up enjoying or didn’t enjoying. You will learn why I didn’t find Tuesday’s With Morrie my favorite book. You will also learn why I found myself enjoying Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie.
First, a book I have enjoyed is Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie. I enjoyed this book because it has a lot of action between characters. For example, Veron and Scott. The book also grabbed my attention when Scott the main character would put English lessons into his writing. Scott would teach the reader about English. For example, “Tom Swifty’s.” Tom Swifty’s were taught by Scott to the reader. The last thing I enjoyed about Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie is the book being told in first person point of view. I enjoy first person point of view because you can understand what the main character experiences. This why I enjoyed Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie.

I didn’t find myself liking this book because first, it was very sad. Tuesday’s with Morrie is a book about a man suffering with ALS. I found the book very saddening and feeling sorrow. I like more comical books that can make me laugh. Another reason I didn’t like this book was how it was written. It would confuse me when people were having dialogue but there would be no quotations. The last thing I didn’t like was it wasn’t enough “exciting” for me. For me to like a book it has to be exciting and constant action. But with Tuesday’s With Morrie it felt slow and not a lot of action. This is some reasons why I didn’t enjoy Tuesday’s With Morrie.
To conclude, this is my point of view on the books I have read. These are my reasons I either enjoyed or didn’t enjoy the books I have

What I liked most about it was reading from two different perspectives and how those different perspectives met through the book.
This book is a good book. "What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 1
The ending of the novel was inspiring. The author suggests the reader to look into great novels, and even supplies a list of novels a personally suggests. He ended with a very ...
Before I get into all the specifics I’m going to give you a summary of the book I picked
“I felt the seeds of death inside his shriveling frame, and as I laid him in his chair, adjusting his head on the pillow, I had the coldest realization that our time was running out.” (Pg. 59) That is what Mitch, a journal writer for the Detroit Free Press, said as he lifted his old college teacher from his wheelchair to his recliner. His old college teacher is Morrie Schwartz, a man that is dying from ALS otherwise known as Lou Gehrig disease. As the book goes on, Morrie reaches out to people who want to talk and he teaches them about the real lessons of life, while he is lying on his deathbed. Tuesdays With Morrie is an excellent book because Morrie teaches Mitch lessons about marriage, greed, and family that young adults can learn from.
Tuesdays with Morrie is an inspiring tale in which Mitch, a young man struggling with the concept of a meaningful life is given a second chance, and a new outlook on life when he meets his past teacher, Morrie. They quickly renew the relationship they once possessed in college. Morrie becomes Mitch’s mentor, role model and friend once again. This time around, however, the lessons are on subjects such as life, love, and culture.
In the book Sleeping freshmen never lie many characters have different things that happen and they change a lot throughout the book. Wesley cobble asked Scott Hudson for spare change and took it from him, but later on he becomes one of Scott’s biggest friends. Many of changes happened to Scott. Scott changed the most because his friendships have changed and he didn’t want Julia as bad, while on the other hand Mouth tried to kill himself.
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...

“All I knew for sure was that our lives were about to change” (Lubar, 3). This is what Scott said the day before freshman year started, and he was right. In Sleeping Freshman Never Lie Scott Hudson is entering his first year of high school. He has heard how the freshman were treated, and was not very excited. The first day, he realized that his friend in Kindergarten, Julia, someone magically became gorgeous over the summer.

So, he decides to help his new sibling by writing a freshman survival guide. This survival guide will document the different things he experienced in freshman year and the mistakes he made, in
Richard Wright, in his essay “Discovering Books,” explains how reading books changed his outlook on life and eventually his life itself. The first book that widened his horizons was an overtly controversial book by H. L. Mencken. I have a story not so dissimilar from his.
The upper shelf contains my most varied readings that span from books of love letters, tales of war, and chronicles of bildungsroman narratives. Rows upon rows of books are hidden behind the visible layer, with each story containing a cherished memory. These novels were recommended by inspiring teachers, received from knowledgeable relatives, or discovered on engaging odysseys to the bookstore.
Tuesdays with Morrie, written by Mitch Albom, is a story of the love between a man and his college professor, Morrie Schwartz. This true story captures the compassion and wisdom of a man who only knew good in his heart and lived his life to the fullest up until the very last breath of his happily fulfilled life. When Mitch learned of Morrie’s illness, the began the last class of Morrie’s life together and together tried to uncover “The Meaning of Life.” These meetings included discussions on everything from the world when you enter it to the world when you say goodbye. Morrie Schwartz was a man of great wisdom who loved and enjoyed to see and experience simplicity in life, something beyond life’s most challenging and unanswered mysteries. Morrie was a one of a kind teacher who taught Mitch about the most important thing anyone can ever learn: life. He taught Mitch about his culture, about trust, and perhaps most importantly, about how to live.
