Although i was very broken and chocked at the end i don´t think there could have been a better ending. The book made me laugh in joy but also made my heart break. Michaelis Antonia did an amazing job with this work. I almost dreaded for the ending, not wanting it to end. I just wanted to keep reading. This is the type of book that makes you stare hard and intense at the very last page, making you keep thinking ”why” and ”this can´t end this way! where is the rest?” . Even tough the original language is german i don´t think the translation to english made it bad at all. It was still beautifully written with a language that made it easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to get their hearts broken by a book! This is definitely a 5 out of 5 for me and i can´t wait to read other books by Michaelis
Answer: No, the book didn't end in the way I thought it would. But I kind of expected there to be a twist towards the end of the book. Overall I really enjoyed reading the book. I wasn't bored at any part and it was somewhat a easy read.
I thought the book was pretty good it has action and sorrow and fun stuff and It is pretty exciting.
It really made me want to read from it and actually learn more about what the author went through. Students will enjoy this book! So teachers, teach from this amazing book, They will love
The book So much to tell you started off very boring, nothing really happened for a while until almost 50 pages into the book and even then it wasn't a big deal. The author writes about the feelings and thoughts of a scarred and hurting young girl, in a way of a diary. Every day she writes about what happened that day and thoughts and feelings. The journal she writes her whole life, but not everyday, instead of just not writing anything, Mariana writes something like: "No, not today" or "Today is not a good day". While other times she writes several pages.
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.
We grow on stories. Stories we tell, stories we hear. The private and the public one just like our stories and the others’. As social animals, these stories we hear and tell link us. Thomas King’s book, The Truth About Stories: A Native narrative, tells us all kind of stories.
In the book "The Truth About Stories," Thomas King explores the power of narratives and the enormous effect that it has on how we perceive the world and one another. Thomas King explores the complex connection between stories and the formation of individual and community identities by reflecting on his own experiences and ancestry. King, who was born in 1943 and is of Cherokee and Greek ancestry, was raised in California. He brings a unique and broad perspective to his study of storytelling, combining history and personal stories to challenge widespread misconceptions and assumptions about Indigenous peoples. King has backgrounds in literature, anthropology, and law.
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.
I was not disappointed by the end of the book, I was morally relieved. April has again written another very good mystery book, and I will continue to read the rest of the books that she has
All in all, this book was a great story and I learned so much from it, I’m elated that I had the chance to read
Bullet points: Was the ending satisfying or not? The ending was bittersweet. Each chapter ending has given a positive ending though there were pretty rough incidents happening.
For me the most astonishing aspect of this novel is that our loved ones, they make mistakes, they make bad calls. No reasons can ever justify those. It will affect us, it will destroy us. But it’s our decision if we’re going to let it haunt us forever. It’s a deeply emotion read for me, that has had me all choked up.

Visual storytelling comes with many different media suchs as films, theatre and animation. All of them have one thing in common, which is telling a story through visuals, showing the audience what we want to tell. Even a photograph can tell a story. In visual storytelling there are many elements that brings it to life, for instance the characters. Great characters can carry the whole story as we are seeing it unfold through them.
In this novel, the characters start as strangers who develop into vibrant, real-life people by the end. The author helps the audience get to know the characters by changing narratives in multiple sections. The characters are very relatable as well as realistic. Olivia gives the great advice of “’we all have to put up with the bad days . . . unless you want to be treated like a baby the rest of your life’” to Auggie as a sort of pep talk and showed how she viewed the world (Palacio, 115).
