First love


"First love" is by James Patterson. It's about a girl name Axi that runs away with her best friend Robinson. They break the law by Stealing cars. When they were done stealing another car, the cops stopped them because they were going to fast. They played around with the cop for a bit and tied him up and put him in the backseat of the stolen car and started walking to find another ride. "Guilty, I thought. We're both so guilty. For a while I stared out the window, watching the flat, dry land go by. I still couldn't believe the way things had turned. A few hours ago, Robinson making out with someone else was just about the worst of my problems. Now? Try felony assault, grand theft auto, and who knew what else." She's falling for her best friend but also feels guilty for the laws they had broken. She's had the best time with Robinson but it can lead to juvie for them. "Back in the moment, of course, we'd had done made perfect sense. We'd had to do it. A stolen Porsche, a hijacked gun, and suddenly cuffing and abandoning a cop seemed like a fine idea because, hey, it would keep us out of juvie. For now I thought darkly." I think Robinson will tell Axi that he loves her and they will finish their journey and go back and be together. But I also think something bad will happen along the way because it can'[t have a happy ending just that simple.

First love

First love is written by James Patterson and Emely Raymond. In this book a girl runs away. Her name is Axi. She goes on a round the world trip to get away from the problems and stress she has. But she only wants to do it with one person, her best friends Robinson. Her mom left, her sister died and her dad's a drunk. She's tired of everything and just wants to get away from her little neighborhood. She's been plannin on leaving for a while. She saved up her babysitting money she's been saving for 2 years. She tells Robinson about her plan and says that he going with her. After a while he thought she was crazy, but then agreed. Axi was planned on going on a bus, but Robinson said he had a better idea. He wanted Axi and him to have the best time of their lives. So why not break a little rules? They stole a morticycle and left. Later, they leave the motorcycle and steal a car. Through out the book, Axi starts to have feeling for Robinson that she's never felt before. And she wonders if he feels the same. On page 21 it says, "I threw up my hands. "Last I checked, we don't have a private get, Robinson." "Who said anything about a plane? We are going to take a car, you dope," he said. He leaned back in the booth and crossed his hands behind his head, totally smooth and non-chalant. "And I mean take one." Instead of taking the bus they steal cars and morticycles. Robinson wants this trip to be the best time of her life. I think what's going to happen through out the book is that they are both going to eventually have feeling for one another and the whole trip is going to change from the original plans. On page 46 It says, he reached out and brushed a piece of hair from my forehead. I held my breath. Suddenly I understand that running away was all the thrill I could stand today. If Robinson touched any other part of me, I might explode into a million pieces. But he didn't touch me again. He smiled. "Sweet dreams, Axi Moore," he said softly. Then he rolled back over. Inside I ached a little, I wasn't sure what for. This detail is important because she's probably starting to develop feelings for Robinson but doesn't know it yet.

Comparing and Contrasting


The two books that i'm comparing are, "The start of me and you" and the book "First love". These two books are very similar because they are both kind of about romance but also about trying something new. In the book "The start of me and you", Paige (main character) wants to try new things before the end of the school year. Through out the book Paige falls in love with her boy best friend, Max. But little does she know that he fell in love with her the first day he saw her. In the book First love, The main character Axi wants to try something new and runaway, but she wants to do it with her best friend Robinson. She wants them both to travel the world together. But through out their journey she starts to have these feeling for him that shes never noticed before. These books are similar because they are both about romance and they both have to do with trying something new and falling for their best friend without even knowing it. The difference is that in the book "first love", they go travel the world together and in the book "The start of me and you", Paige wants to start new things but they are simple that a normal teenager would do but Paige is kind of an outsider. Also in both books they lose someone very important to them. In "fist love" Axi losing her sister and in "The start of me and you", Paige loses her boyfriend. The difference is that with Paige it gave more affect and it was hard to recover from. And Axi she was used to everyone leaving her including her mother.

The start of me and you Blog #2

The book "The start of me and you" is written by Emery Lord. In my last blog about this book I have a summery about what I read. This blog is gonna be about what I read so far after that. Well before Paige (main character) used to like this guy name Ryan chase, but for the new year his cousin moved back to the neighborhood and went back to the school Ryan goes to. In the beginning of the year Paige mad a list with 5 things that she wanted to before she finished school. But when she decides she wants to do something new this school year she start quiz bowl. That's where she meats Ryan chase's cousin, Max. Through the months that's passed, she's gets close with him. And at Max's seventeen birthday party Paige realized that her strong absession for Ryan didn't let her see the strong feelings she had for max. But she doesn't know if he feels the same. After her boyfriends death the accured 2 years ago she srtill hasn't fully recovered. Since her boyfriend drowned she hasn't gone into a pool since then because she has nightmares of her drowning. Recently Max tries to help her and takes her to a pool. When she gets deeper she panics and sinks in, and max rescues her. She takes her anger out at max because she's mad at herself because of the fact that it's been 2 years and she's still afraid. On page 293 it's says , "I was mad that I was still so vulnerable after all this time. Mad that I let myself defined by one tragic accident. Mad that I slipped into the water, that my recently had been hapless flailing. It was a fall, not a jump. It should have been a jump. I owed myself that." I think she will get over it soon and with Max's help only. I think the theme of this book is that it's never to late for second chances.

Adversity blog

The Adversity that Anne Frank has gone through is very tough, she was stuck in hiding for 3 years, she had to share a room with a 50 year old man, and didn't see any other another kid her age for a long time. I don't think I can say that the adversity that I have faced is smimilar to what Anne Frank faced. The Adversity I face and what she faced would be different because things where different back then, things changed over the years. And because things changed, we have different problems.

The start of me and you

The book "The start of me and you" is written by Emery Lord. This book is about a teenage girl name Paige who's boyfriend drowned. she's having a little trouble keeping it together because everywhere she goes someone always talking about him and she just gets annoyed. She's really into this guy name Ryan, she's been liking him for so long but he had a girlfriend. When ryan and his girlfriend finally broke they started talking a little more. Her parents had been divorced for a year. But she recently found out that they are back together and she's not to happy about that. "Happy? My disbelief shifted into growing anger that she'd sprung this in me now, after hiding it all the time. I couldn't already hear the gossip, ricocheting against the lockers and tarnishing what would have been my year, my fresh start. I would be demoted to an even weirder reputation: the girl who's divorced parents date each other." But people know her now as "The girl whose boyfriend drowned". Her parents were secretly dating for 4 months and Paige didn't know. Even though that my own parents are divorced i would want them to get back together because they were like her parents, they would always fight and "bring out the worse in each other". The book is from Paige point of view, and from what she sees, they were pretty bad together. But then again, I understand  them because they just need some time to think. In the text it said "Then you'd remember they were so unhappy together. When we were little, they hardly talked. They only fought. This shows that shows that it might go back to the samething through time. People can't change who they are. They might fight about the same things again. I think they should just try it out, and if it works then that's a good thing.

Key west

Last summer I went to key west in Florida. I really liked how everything is set up. Everybody either drive cars or drive scooters (mostly scooters). There is so much to do and everybody is really nice. Some say that's it's haunted, but that doesn't stop me from living there. There's so many stories on key west. I read some in a book and they were so interesting. When I went I just loved everything.
