Charlotte’s Web is more of a pre-teen book or a tween book. A girl named Fern raises a pig named Wilbur. Now he is raised as a barn pig and he meets a spider named Charlotte. Charlotte tried to figure out a way to save him from being chopped up. I really recommend this story because the perspective is in the spider/pig. I would have thought the story is in perspective of Fern. In the perspective of the animals it’s so much more interesting. Although I would like to think of Wilbur and Charlotte as symbolism of us humans. In the perspectives of these 2 characters it can be shown that they show human characteristics. They have emotions and ideals as complex as humans do. I don't know if the author's main purpose was this but this is the way I analyze this book.Charlotte’s Web is more of a pre-teen book or a tween book. A girl named Fern raises a pig named Wilbur.

This is a very heartwarming story and has a tragic plot. Hazel is a cancer patient who has gotten a few years left after her tumor being shrunken. Then comes a new patient named Augustus Waters at the Cancer Kid Support Group. They bond together and both start rewriting their lives. It helps you learn a lot about loving someone and accepting your differences. I really like the language used throughout the book. Although this book can be a bit depressing for some people. It really does deserve the name Best selling book. I hope everyone tries to read this book and analyze the concept behind this book.This is a very heartwarming story and has a tragic plot.

The 10th book of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid is a fun book if you want to read on a road trip. It's a bit long but there’s illustrations in it and there's not much complicated words. Greg Heffley and his family decided to go to a tropical island resort. Instead of celebrating Christmas, the family celebrates Christmas by basking in the sun and hot weather. Although a bunch of issues pop up on their way to the resort and at the resort. Food poisoning, sun burns, and family issues possibly ruin their Christmas tropical trip. This book is filled with absolute honor and relatable content.The 10th book of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid is a fun book if you want to read on a road trip.

Bridge of Terabithia has a really interesting plot. It’s about a guy named Jess who’s dream is to become the fastest runner in his grade. He practices over summer vacation and dedicates himself to his goal. Someone unexpected appears and she outruns everyone. They first start off not liking each other but then start to bond. Together they create their own magical world called Terabithia. Sadly, one day that dream comes to an end. Jesse decides to move on with what he has gained from Leslie. I really like how the heroine tries to become strong and not let his past pull him down. The plot is a bit different from other stories so it may seem boring but slowly the character development is spot on.Bridge of Terabithia has a really interesting plot.

Esperanza Rising’s concept is immigration and trying to fight for their independence. I read this book back in 5th grade and I didn’t understand much but it was still really heart warming to me. Before moving to America during the Great Depression, Esperanza was in a happy and affluent family. She was always fed with delicious food and dressed in the best dresses. After something big happened, all the wonderful things she was blessed with disappeared. This causes her mom and her to travel to America for a new chance. Although they came to America at the worst time, the Great Depression. Esperanza’s mom becomes sick and a strike rises in their workforce. Esperanza is faced with these conflicts and has to rise above herself for her own life. This book really made me emotional in some parts. It makes me feel how lucky my situation is and just brings all of my emotions.Esperanza Rising’s concept is immigration and trying to fight for their independence.

Now this book has some sensitive topics that may not be suitable to readers. The author describes bullying and how bad in other peoples' eyes it is to be different. Robert the main character in this book had a tumor in the middle of his nose and had surgery on it. The doctors create a new nose for him but, soon after he goes back to school and students start bullying because of his different nose. He doesn't want to let other peoples’ opinions control him though. The book goes on from the perspective of Robert and what he goes through. At the end he learns to love himself no matter what. The most interesting part is that this story is actually true. It’s from the perspective of Robert Hoge and that’s really brave of him to share it.Now this book has some sensitive topics that may not be suitable to readers.

First off I would like to say that some parts of this book is in Vietnamese. The concept covered in this book is immgration or the feeling of willingness. In this book it starts off with a young girl and her family who moves to America due to the danger of the Vietnam war. Her and her family travel to America for hope for a better life. Here the protagonist Hà starts going to a new high school and tries to fit in. Although, she never fits in and gets teased due to her being an immigrant. Slowly she tries to adapt to this strange environment with different people, food, and customs. Later on she is accustomed to her school and Alabama which helps her develop dreams/hopes. I really recommend this book if you don't like reading long paragraphs in books. The structure in this book is more organized like a poem every page. It really goes into depth the struggles of Hà in this place.First off I would like to say that some parts of this book is in Vietnamese.

The Giver is a fantastic book to read for people that like to analyze a book for its message. I really recommend this book for young readers/adults. Quick summary, The Giver is about a society that’s black and white. In this world there’s no pain or feelings. It’s all set up in a perfect organized way. Marriage, children, jobs, and etc. is given to you based on statistics/details about you. Jonas the main character in this book is different throughout this story. At the age of 12 he soon awaits his life assignment/job. Although, Jonas is selected for something very special. He is chosen to work alongside the man called The Giver. Slowly, he learns the role of the giver and the responsibilities with it. As he learns the truth, Jonas breaks the rules to fight for his loved one with the knowledge he has. Honestly out of all the books I read this book really goes into depth with the concept of society. The author really goes describes this painless society. She uses our world as a comparison to this world. Her language and complexity in this novel is deep enough for you to get intrigued but simple for young readers to comprehend it.The Giver is a fantastic book to read for people that like to analyze a book for its message.

Forgive my fins is a romance masterpiece with the supernatural included. Also, this book is a series so it includes a few other books. It starts off with a young high school girl who just moves with her aunt into the city. Although Lily has a secret she's a royal princess mermaid. In this new city she meets Quince Fletcher, her new next door neighbor. As she disguises herself as a high school student she falls in love with a guy name Brody who swims. She's been in love with him for the longest while and tries to win his love throughout the book. Her next door neighbor always ruins those moments and loves annoying her. Although life has other plans for her, something big occurs and crushes all her hopes/dreams. I really love this book because the author talks about facing your emotions. It's really interesting how things flip on the protagonist.Forgive my fins is a romance masterpiece with the supernatural included. Also, this book is a series so it includes a few other books.
