Summer Reading Project

I chose  "I'll Give You The Sun." In this book some of the major character are Noah and Jude. It seems like Noah, Fry, and Zhphyr have some sort of conflict and Noah is against the two. I think they may be bullying Noah. Jude seems to have a problem with the past maybe. He said he wish he didn't do some things he did when he was young. I wonder what some of the things he did were and will Noah figure out what to do with his problem? Also a conflict is between Jude and Noah. They were super close when they were younger but now they don't talk much. Will they figure this out or will they be separated for life. Some connections I can make is being separated form my sibling. It's happens some times and you just have to work through it.

Noah seems like he is depressed and I think Jude is almost like this too. Both don't like to share their feelings and that may be why. If they don't do this they won't be happy at all. But I think they both want to be happy and figure this out just they don't know how to go about it. Also I think the two want to talk and be better siblings to each other because they used to be so close and now they don't talk much anymore. I think if they worked that out it would solve a lot of problems. Some themes that are coming out in this book are family, problems, and relationships. The structure of it is strong. It has lots of twist and gets you down but the changes the whole dynamics of the story.

“This is how it all begins. With Zephyr and Fry—reigning neighborhood sociopaths—torpedoing after me and the whole forest floor shaking under my feet as I blast through air, trees, this white-hot panic.” ( I'll Give You The Sun. Page:10). The reason I chose this quote is because this is one of the first lines in the book so it has to hook you to make you want to continue reading. This one does it too because it gives you the sense of panic and you want to know what happens next. That's why they put a sentence like that in the beginning. He is being chased by two boys, so you want to know why they are chasing him and what happens like if they catch him or if he gets away. This is why this book is so good because there are so many of these cliff hangers and such that continually bring you back into the story!

They reason I chose this novel was because I heard that a lot of people were reading it and they said it was really good, so I have it a try. Also when I heard of it I thought that the tittle sounded interesting so it kinda drew me in. Some connections I made to this book were like the conflitcts the two bothers had. I personally have a sister so you can imagine how some things go. That is why I can relate because you will get in arguments and stop talking after a while. But you really need to try and stay together and I think that is what this story is trying to tell you. I would really reckoned this book to anyone, but mainly to people who have a brother or sister because the people in the book can be like a role model to how to figure a problem out. Over all I really enjoyed the book and I think everyone probably would!
