Garbage By Alane Ferguson Essay

590 Words3 Pages

What’s that smoke smell? It’s the smell of The Angel of Death burning in the bonfires in the bonfires of anyone that has read this book. This literary piece of garbage by Alane Ferguson is the most predictable thing since The Simpsons predicted Donald Trump becoming president. This book, as bad as it is, does have some redeeming qualities, the accurate portrayal of many things led to lots of different connections in real life, but in this book the bad outweighs the good and males for a confusing, predictable novel. Although this book has many bad qualities, the development of the plot, and the characters is above average. The plot starts off with Cameryn finding a dead dog, which was killed by Kyle O'Neil, the same guy who kills Cammie’s teacher, Brad Oakes. The plot shows Cammie and Kyle falling in love, but really Kyle is just using her so he won’t get caught for killing Brad Oakes. The development of Kyle O’Neil’s character was fairly decent because we see him go from a scared boy who just watched …show more content…

This book, other than Kyle O’Neil’s character, had some of the worst characters that I have ever seen. First off, Cammie had literally zero personality, other than her back story. I can list off all of Cammie’s personality traits in one word: boring. There was also a love story brewing between Cammie and Detective Justin, but that was completely lost in the chance that Cammie might die. It was extremely obvious that Cammie wouldn’t die. Out of every single book that I have read, only in one has the main character dies, so there was really no real parel that Cameryn was in. Otherwise, the ending was extremely predictable. A week before the book ended, I put my prediction in the thought pot, and low and behold, I predicted the ending perfectly. Overall this book is a mess of predictable plots, bad characters, and an ending that could be predicted after reading the second or third

    I’ll start of with the supporting characters in the book, one word: overdramatic. Drama isn’t always my cup of tea and this book and its characters seem to love it, or that is what I felt sometimes (Maybe I’m the overdramatic one right now). For example; Melindas ex-bestfriends started ignoring her after she called the police during a party and that is relatively exaggerated to a certain degree, I get that someone would get mad but if you really are bestfriends then it wouldn’t be a problem to try to understand the situation and try to make up.

    It has its faults, but overall it was a book I would recommend to tell the story of this horrific forest fire. I was not satisfied with the character in the account; they did not have enough character background to make the reader really feel for them. The characters did not connect to the reader on an emotional level I believe. For example Roosevelt and Taft are extremely narrowed mined and bland to me. He Force themes on to the reader much to frequently as well.

    Although, some parts kept me insanely hooked, most of the novel was very plain. First off, the whole plot was very basic; practically a rip-off version of The Bachelor but set in a castle. The main idea of the novel had been done many times, and in this novel the execution was not professional either, so it was not an enjoyable read. Second, the world building was not there at all. I could never truly visualize their country and surroundings, as Cass never went in-depth and incorporated any details.

  • A Habit Of Waste By Nalo Hopkinson Summary

    530 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nalo Hopkinson’s story “A Habit of Waste” takes place in a society where bodies are interchangeable, the main character is Cynthia, a Caribbean woman who discards her body for the figure of a white woman. When analyzing this fictional tale from a post-colonial lens, it is clear that the author is focusing on giving a voice to the experiences of those born after colonization and the history that was crushed along with it. The author uses an emotional appeal to express the struggles people of colour, specifically Caribbeans, face post-colonization. Cynthia's desire to belong outweighs any logic or ethics, and as a result of white supremacy, this sense of belonging comes in the form of internalized racism. Living in a society filled with racist ideologies often leads to internalized racism, as shown in this short story.

  • Kate Scelsa's Fans Of The Impossible Life

    There is heavy drug usage, explicit language, talk of multiple suicide attempts, and homosexuality – but Kate Scelsa handles all of these topics with such grace that they all felt like integral parts of the story, and they were, to be honest. I love books that deal with controversial or heavy topics, they always hit me harder and make me feel more than basic fantasy or romance novels – not that there aren’t some out there that hit me right in the feels. But, the way each and every issue was incorporated into the characterization of the individuals throughout was awe inspiring, it was all so raw and honest that it felt totally real. It made me stop and think about every person I walked past on my way to class and ask myself “what do you think they’re going through?” and “how can I

    The author ended with a cliffhanger but it doesn’t really make me want to read the next one. If he had made the book longer and finished talking about how Sarney and Nightjohn taught in the pit school it would’ve been better. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone unless they really liked books about history. My opinion on the movie is worse than the book. The only thing I liked about the movie is that Pawley got married and the slaves seem happier than described in the book.

    This novel was exceptionally peculiar, which made the book nearly impossible to predict and held my attention until the very end. Matthew Quick was able to write a story I could easily relate to because of my passion towards basketball and common hardships teenagers endure. Moreover, frequent scenarios within the novel showed realistic struggles within violence that are very relatable and realistic in the 21st century. For instance, the internal struggles of high schoolers such as jealousy and trying to fit in. On top of this, it was astounding to see all three dynamic characters, Russ, Erin, and Finley develop throughout the story, as all three grew their friendship and learned from one another leaving you breathless.
