Romeo and Juliet

 Dear Romeo ,
         
          Its okay that you killed Tybalt . Sometimes you just have anger that fills in your body. I

 understand that he was really annoying. Killing him was not the right thing. Maybe you should

express your anger a different way. Not trying to annoy you in any way but you were actually the

cause of Mercutio's death. You were he one that started the whole fight. Anyway moving on from

that I think that you and Juliet only like each other from your looks. Such as in one scene when your

wife Juliet was giving out to you for killing Tybalt she said something about your flowering face.

Love is not just by looks  it is by the persons personality as well. Anyway you should start thinking

about getting away from the guards because they are most likely going to come after you. You just

have to keep your head high and hope for the best. I think that the Montagues and the Capulets

should figure out a way to bring peace. Every time you guys see each other theres always fighting .

You never know something bad could happen to you and Juliet if they find out you guys are married.

Anyway I must get going tell Juliet I said hi.





                                                              Sincerely,
                                                                                Giovanni Paul

Bronxwood

 The book that I am reading is called Bronxwood by Coe Booth.  I found this book very interesting and funny .  I really like the characters attitude and I found that it really gave a theme to the store there a lot of themes  story that I noticed .  Some of the themes are violence and drugs and relationships.

   Two themes in the story is violence and drugs. Tyrell constantly struggles with drugs which is affecting him and people around him. I think his attitude is affecting the way he acts.  I think it is upsetting when his friend Andre got shot.  I found that this book has tons of violence because Collin Tyrell got beat up which is a sign of violence I think this happens because Tyrone was trying to act tough. The other theme is relationships. Tryells father got out of jail and he is not sure how to deal with it. I think him and his father have an ok relationship. I don't think humans his mom have a good relationship she is not really their for him and her other child so he only is really good friends and close with Cal.

      In conclusion this book has outs of themes and is very interesting. I think that Tyrell and a few other of the characters should grow a stronger relationship. I think Tyrell should try and deal with his drug addiction because he is affecting the people around him. Overall I found this book very interesting and i enjoyed reading it.

Synthesis Page Review



          Ungifted by Gordon Korman is a book about a kid named Donovan. Donovan is a huge prankster. When Donovan pulls on a huge prank in school  he thinks that he has gone to far. Later Donovan goes to another school called (A.S.D.)a special program for for talented kids.  As he goes to the school he becomes a big hit but some teacher thing he is not the best student for the school. As he meets new people he is starting to feel like he fits in.


         In the story Donovan feels like he belongs to the school. " For the first time since I'd landed at the academy, I truly belonged ". This is taking a step further because he is feeling like he belongs. And he feels like he belongs. Throughout the story Donovan is showing compassion for other people. " What matters the only part I really care about is that your happy ".  This quote is compelling because the characters are really showing compassion for each other. This is showing that they care and want the best for one another.  Another part in the story is one the character Donovan is talking about how he was glad to leave the party.  This made me wonder if he did like the party or if he did not I think that he needs to be a little more social. The last thing that I noticed is that Donovan is starting to lose confidence in himself. Such as in the story Donovan says " Infront of the entire lunch crowd  in the cafeteria they presented me with the 2012 moron of the year award ". I feel like Donovan is losing confidence and is feeling like he doesn't belong .  I think he needs to step up and be more social and interactive with people and maybe he can gain more confidence . This is what I have noticed in this story  this is what I have noticed in this story Ungifted.

       In conclusion I really like reading the story it was very funny and it was something that I enjoy reading.  The story I learned that there were a lot of ups and downs and that the character had to step up and be more interactive.  I think this is a really good book for teenagers because it can show them that anyone could be what they want and show teenagers that they have talent.
