The Third Twin
How would you feel if you suddenly found out you had a sibling you never knew about? My SSR book, “The Third Twin” by Cynthia J. Omololu is about a crazy situation like this. This story was about how two twins, Ava and Alexa, get framed for murders happening in the area. Then, later in the story, they meet there triplet and believe she’s the killer. I rated this book a six and a half out of ten. This was because all though it had a good storyline, it was very predictable. I realized that even though the title of the book is “ The Lost Twin” this story’s main problem is not the fact that Ava and Alexa have a triplet they never knew about. As Ava and Alexa are trying to hide from the cops, they see someone just like them standing outside of the building. That person was Rubi, their triplet. The ironic part of them finding their triplet is that they dress up as an alter ego named Alicia, and go out with guys. The guys they go out wit are the

She first had me convinced that Ava was the killer. The cops had pictures of someone who looked just like the sisters at the kill scene, and we knew Alexa didn’t do it. Alexa then looks in Ava’s closet and finds she has the exact same jacket as the girl in the picture. She then made it seem like Zane, Alexa’s friend, was the killer. He admits to Alexa that he has had a crush on her for a long time and says that all the guys she’s been talking to aren’t good enough for her. He also tells her not to tell the cops when she finds the dead body of another one of her dates. Omololu then make it seem like the third twin, Rubi, is the killer. If that was the case, it would explain why the people in the photos looked exactly like them. Rubi also shows up at the police department seemingly going to act as Alicia. We find out however, that although she has been dressing as Alicia, she never went out with the same guys as Ava and
Freya is intelligent and knows it too, and has a lesbian partner Avril and is also prideful of that. In her story she interviews Fred Pink, the man who seems to know so much about the Grayer twins. She is determined to find information about her disappearing sister. Freya and Gordon were lured very similar and that was the Grayer Twins targeting their wants. For Gordon Edmonds, he was obsessed with women and the twins figured that would be an easy way to lure someone to fulfill the ritual in the Slade House Attic.
I would assume that Vanessa wanted to leave her husband anyway. So it must have been planned. This shows that Vanessa Vermont was attacked and possibly her husband may have killed his wife with the phone.
I looked at the way Vanessa’s body was twisted on the floor for a few minutes. It was a normal position if she would have fallen, having me think that the murderer stabbed her and left. I asked a few of Vanessa’s friends about what happened at the party and everyone said basically the same thing; they were all 17 or 18 and were drinking. They were also smoking and doing drugs, like cocaine, which was on the desk near Vanessa. They say they were all dancing and Vanessa said she was thirsty and went to get a drink of water.
We read about how Annika made up lies about Denny and how the twins use those lies to obtain custody of Zoe. The story is so effective thanks to the point of view that Garth Stein chose to write
Although there are a few parts i did not like. Sometimes her use of description was a bit of a bad thing. For example the ending did seem a bit unfair and unfinished. they told about events but never tells what happens
Probably in her late twenties, Alexa is a false personality built by Brenda, her true self, and Mike Stabinsky. While her deceitful character appears to be rich, Alexa owns nothing as she lives her day to day leeching form others. With regard to her relationships, no family is mentioned, since when Brenda acquires the bombastic personality of Alexa, she ditches her empathy with others, which weakened her relationships. For example, her the repetitive story she shares with all her victims, only alternating in her “husband’s” death, reveals she has no essence put into the developing of bonds with others. Especially the way Leslie is constantly touching her victim to flirt and build false romance, maneuvers her malicious intentions, rather than aiding her
The word gilded means to cover an object with a thin layer of gold to make it look more appealing. Mark Twain coined this time period the Gilded Age because on the surface, the time seemed like a great combination of immigration, industry, and economy, but underneath the thin layer of sparkling gold lay vast layers of corruption. Jacob Riis’s How the Other Half Lives brings to light a lot of the negativity that was a part of the Gilded Age, peeling back the superficial layer of the time and revealing the undesirable parts of the time. Riis was a Danish immigrant and he aligned with many set stereotypes of different races, describing the “dull gray of the Jew,” the “bright red of the Italian” and the “sharp streak of yellow” of the Chinese; however, Riis was very sympathetic of the impoverished people in America of the time.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez told the court that it 's clear that Arias murdered Alexander. Willmont maintains that her client was abused and controlled by Alexander, who she claims was a sexual deviant. Willmott showed the jury a t-shirt she says he made Arias wear, with lettering that says "Travis Alexander 's." "That t-shirt is the perfect example of how Travis treated her," she said. After his body was discovered, police found a camera in Alexander 's washing machine. They say Arias was literally trying to wash away the evidence.

In our life, we often have experiences that teach us how and what we want to be like when we grow up. Everyone has ups and downs from time to time that make one want to stop and other times make one want to run while individually they feel free. The Garden Story by Katherine Mansfield and The First Born Son by Ernest Buckler both show how parental pressure, social pressure, and family pressure around an individual can influence the way one will treat others. Once in a while it is an advantage when they want to change the world to make it better for others, but oftentimes it is for the worse because they personally accept the problems they have and never trying to fix them. Both stories have parental influences that want them to stay as they are, tradition influences that professions stay in the family, and they are always compared to the better child that is more like by parents.
I chose to read “The Midnight Twins” by Jaquelyn Mitchard. “The Midnight Twins” is fiction book, it was a mysterious and suspenseful story that introduces and shows examples of telepathy. In this book, twins Meredith and Mallory Brynn were very unlucky. They faced many unfortunate events and the events introduced their strengths. “The Midnight Twins” was easy to understand and was a great read.
The only other person who knew the truth was her boyfriend, 18-year-old, Johnny Rider. He knew because he was with Cassie when the pair allegedly murdered her grandparents together. Police reported Cassie and Rider brutally murdered the elderly couple, using butcher knives to slash their throats, while beating them with a baseball bat, hammer and a tire iron.
Finding My Independence Being a twin is occasionally eerie. There are times when my sister, Emily, seems to know what I am thinking and often finishes my sentences for me. I have been asked millions of times "What’s it like being a twin?" I don’t blame people for their curiosity, but I really don’t know what it would be like without my twin sister. From the day of conception we have been side by side, figuratively attached at the hip.
and I unfortunately could not find any interest in it. I mean I understand that Emily and her mother had many hardships that they faced during their lives, but I feel like it would be a more enjoyable read if Olsen would have went into more detail about Emily growing up and how she overcame the challenges of having a physical differences then other people. The story was pretty vague and only went into detail for certain small parts of the story. I guess I was looking for a success story for Emily
