I absolutely loved this book. The story really sucked me in, and I loved the idea of a small town with such a big secret. Kendall is a strong female character who is driven to the very end. The twist is unexpected and

Although I did get confused while reading the book a few times, I think most individuals would enjoy it. I read this book all in one day, as it was a type of book that is super hard to stop reading after you start it. I wouldn’t recommend starting this book, if the reader doesn’t have time to read a majority of the book in one sitting. I believe a busy person would get too confused and lost in the book, since they wouldn’t have time to sit down and read the whole book. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone under the age of fourteen, as it can be very sad at times.

A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer is a story about a child named David, who is a victim of abuse from his mother and tells his story of how he struggles to stay alive, search for food and the problems he has in school. David lives with his mother, father and brothers, but at the end of the book, he feels a strong hatred for his family and a strong hate for the people who knew about the abuse, David also regrets being born and questions if God exists. There are many health issues that happen when abuse happens to a child specifically and these include, “suicidal thoughts, eating disorder, PTSD can develop from a childhood of abuse.” (Rehman, Kazmi, Perveen, 2016). David towards the end of his story began to think that death was the only way he could escape the abuse. David’s story is the story of many other children around the world who suffer from physical, emotional and mental abuse, these children are in search of a light in the darkness for many years and David’s light in the darkness was his father in the beginning of the book but that drastically changed further on.

Everyone is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree, it will live it’s life believing it’s stupid. In your book, Fish in a Tree, the main character Ally was just like that fish, and was judged by the way she learned. She may have learned differently, but who says her way of learning was wrong? Taking this into consideration, I was able to make many more connections like this to myself and the world around me. It changed the way I look at things, and I’m thankful for that.

Helen Oyeyemi’s The Icarus Girl engages with many questions within the diasporic dialogue and the writer asserts the position she takes with all issues she deals with. She, like many, sees that there are many things pulling apart the ideas of Englishness and Nigerian-ness but at the same time, there are things that fuse them together in people that live both those identities at the same time. Jess is the person she uses to establish this unsteady union and at the end, this young girl who begins her journey with a fragmented identity, emerges in a higher consciousness where she unifies both identities into one within herself.

Maybe if I stay up all night doing coke there won 't be any nightmares.

I feel like people of middle school or high school age would appreciate this book, because it is at their reading level, roughly. I think that it’d be too difficult and gruesome for elementary kids, and too repetitive and childish for college aged adults and older. I feel people who are fond of dystopian future novels, such as The Hunger Games and Divergent would revel in this. These are my recommendations; it’s not a guarantee that every person in every category feels the way I imagine, but that is just my rough idea. I believe this novel was tolerable, giving it a rating of three and a half out of five stars, for me at least. I do think some improvements here and there could really make the book better. The writing is marvelous, much like Neal’s other books, but the plot seemed under-developed and disjointed. It’s as if he wrote an a thousand page book, then cut all the important, thought provoking pages out; leaving the book to be good, but choppy. Overall, I’m really glad I read this book, and I think others should as

It showed that the pressure of always being perfect and beautiful was hard on her. I also liked that most students can relate to being pressured to be something they’re not. I disliked that I felt the length of the book on multiple occasions. I identified with Paige because I have also been pressured to be someone I don’t want to be. In the story, Paige is pressured to be perfect and make no mistakes and this often happens in real life. I was rooting for Paige because, she needed to step away from those who projected negativity and spend more time with those who made her happy. I think the night of the crash needed more explanation because sometimes you had to figure out if you read about a certain detail. I would recommend this book to any high school student because it opens your eyes to the fact that drinking and driving can change your life!

whenever I talked to him. Whenever he came around, she’d cut her voltage way back and stayed quiet. She wanted me to go ahead and love” (Dunn 280). This is just part of the entangled life of conjoined twins that Katherine Dunn describes in her novel Geek Love. Conjoined twins live every second of their lives as one, which immediately provokes questions about not only intimacy, but more centrally, identity and personhood. Are conjoined twins separate people? Should they be separated when medically possible? Current science and mainstream thinking categorizes conjoined twins as their own individuals primarily because they have separate cognitive abilities, the medical community characterizes them as such, and it has become society’s status quo.

This book was absolutely phenomenal. The quirky characters and the close relationships they had with each other pull in the reader. It uses suspense to keep the reader constantly guessing what will happen next. In this book Chris Crutcher confronts many mature themes such as mental illness, racism, suicide, and death, while still being able to keep the book light hearted in many places. It also explores the importance of friendship, romantic relationships, family, and dealing with personal loss. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a captivating

Dissociative Identity disorder or DID for short is an disorder in which the patient has a split personality between multiple personas. These Personas act different from one another throughout their life and help them a plethora of problems like stress or trauma. In such cases like the great football player Herschel Walker he had multiple personas to help him deal with life including one for football, earlier trauma, school, and social confrontations. Even though someone can have multiple personas and it may seem like they overlap, in fact only one is prevalent at a time while the others wait for when they are needed.

One of the most widely recognized depictions of a psychological disorder can be found in the 1999 film, Fight Club. The film, which follows the life of an unnamed protagonist and his displeasure with life, makes an attempt at portraying Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This disorder is seen throughout the film in the main character, or should I say characters. The film centers on the narrator trapped in a material life, plagued by insomnia and the feelings that there is no escape. His condition worsens as he continues to try and defeat these feelings by seeing doctors and buying further into the materialistic culture that surrounds him. He eventually meets another man, introduced as Tyler, which is where the movie takes a turn. The two
