Reading Journal Week 30 - Book Review - 2016

I am doing Book Review Blog Post.

Playing Cupid

Jenny Meyerhoff

      The book was about a girl named Clara who matched people together. She would play this game at the store with her friend, Emily. Clara used to get bullied at her old school, so see chose to be friends with a popular group of people. Soon her school does something to raise money and the children have to come up with a business. Clara chooses to do a matchmaking business. The story is basically about her trying to find a balance between her parents divorce, friends, boyfriends, and school work. 
      I liked how the girl didn't want to find love, but she ended up doing so in the end. It is like telling the people out there who don't think love will work for them that they might find love when they don't mean to. It might not work for some people, in the beginning, that doesn't mean you have to give up.   
      The book is too cliche, I could basically predict what happened. They make to many books like this. It would have been better if something bad happened, instead of something good. Why do books like this always have to end on a good note? 
      Out of ten, I give it a six. I give a six because the book was kind of cliche but it was also good. I wouldn't really recommend this book to a person who takes books seriously or hates cliche books. I would maybe recommend it for someone who doesn't really have experience with cliche books or doesn't mind them.   

Reading Journal Week 28 - Heart of a Poet - 2016

I am doing a Heart of a Poet blog post.

Love

Watching people worry about love more than school.

Not knowing what love brings.

I witnessed my parents going through the same.

Why don't they realize what love does to people?

I will never make the same mistake as them. 

Observing,

Watching,

Witnessing,

helped me make my decision.
Never will I cross the other side,
but what happens if I accidently do?

The first lines are talking about how she puts people's matches together. Even though she thinks live will always bring broken heart and nothing else. How she also witnessed her parents separation. That is why she thinks love isn't worth it. Then it says how she observes how addicted the people at her school want to know who they are matched with. Even though she thinks that they won't last. Then it says she will never cross that road. She is always saying she will never get a boyfriend, she won't make her heart go through that heartbreak. At the end, it says what happens if she does. I think this because there has been someone putting things in her locker, saying how much they like her. I have a feeling of who it is and I think she will grow to like that person too. Then she will have to decide whether or not she should ignore it or give love a chance.        

Reading Journal Week 27 - Predictions - 2016

I am doing a Pure emotions blog post. 

Playing Cupid

Jenny Meyerhoff

Clara has been working on her business to raise money for the school. She choose to match people together at her school. The thing is she doesn't want to to find a boyfriend for herself. She thinks that love isn't worth it because it will always lead to broken hearts. I think she will end up liking someone who already likes her. She will try to ignore and dismiss her feelings. I think this because their has been someone putting letters in her locker. She wants to know who it is but she doesn't want to know because she is afraid that she will start to have feelings for that person. I also think this because her next door neighbor Joey, is always being nice to her and she ignores him at school. I think Joey likes her but doesn't want to admit it because he is scared. I also think that she has some feelings for Joey but doesn't know it yet. The more she makes on saying she won't get a boyfriend, I think the more her feelings will come out. I also think this is because this guy at her school, Mateo, has some feelings for her.
