In the book "Someone to Love" by Sarah Dressen, The main character and her best friend go to their friend's funeral. The funeral brought back many sad and happy memories of their friend and they cried. The main character's mom is worried about her and her friend because it's the last week of summer and she is affraid this will start their school year off badly. They spend the rest of summer together just hanging out and remembering thier friend almost everywhere they went and everything they did reminded them of him and how they really miss him. That is what has happened in the part of the book that I have recently read.

I just finished reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. In my opinion it was one of the best books ive read all year. I actually read the whole thing and could understand it for the most part. The only thing that was confusing about the book would be the parts where Billy time travels because I could never tell when he was. This book overall was about Billy Pilgrim and how he got "kidnapped" by Tralfamadorians which are little alien type creatures. He time traveled to the past future and present and went through many adventures. He also learned many things from the Tralfamadorians, many lessons. I enjoyed this book alot.

I am reading Slaughterhouse five for my end of the quarter reading. This book is very interesting to read and has a lot to do with the war. The first character I read about in chapter one was named Yon Yonson and he worked in wisconsin. He had a daughter named Nanny and a wife. He was writing a book that he was gonna call Dresden but after meeting with Nancy she led him to change it to the childrens crusade. The second character was Billy he is kind of crazy he keeps traveling to the past, future, and present. He has a daughter named Barbara and a son named Robert. He claims he was captured by Tralfamadorians and wrote a letter about it. He was in the war with Weary (another character) and there are many stories about the war and Weary. Weary died from a disease in his feet because his shoes had been stripped off his feet in the war and he had to walk long distances in just cloggs. This is a little of what I have read so far in my book.

In the book that I am reading; Someone to Love, by Sarah Dessen, the main character had just reunited with her best friend after being sent to a camp for the last week of summer. The book then flashed back to when her mother had picked her up from camp early to come home to be with her friend because one of their best friends had just died in a motorcycle accident. Her and her mother had always been very close they'd do everything together and never got sick of eachother. Her mom is a therapist and would write about their relationship and talk about it at school presentations etc. She'd also brag about it when her friends would complain about their children. But at the beginning of the summer it all fell apart. Her and her best friend started hanging out with a girl named Ginny who was trouble. They started doing things they'd never even think about doing before and She started losing her relationship with her mother and now got annoyed of her easily. That is what happened so far in my book.

For my outside reading book, I chose to read the book Someone to Love by Sarah Dessen. I chose this book because I have read a couple other books by this author and I really liked them. So far in the book it starts out with the main character at a camp and getting a phone call from her best friend in the middle of the night. She told her she needed her to come home from camp because their best friend had just died in a motorcycle accident; her best friend's love. Her friend really needed her comfort, so right away in the morining she had her mom come get her from camp and she visited her friend right away and they just sat there thinking and talking. That is pretty much what has happened so far in this book.

There are many texts about love. One of the most famous texts would be Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This text shows deep passionate love another text would be A midsummer night's dream by William Shakespeare because it shows different types of like such as infatuated love and true love. Texts based on romances are sometimes good to read but can mostly be a little more boring than other texts in my opinion.
