Dreamology by Lucy Keating

       My second summer reading book was Dreamology by Lucy Keating. This book is about a girl named Alice, and ever since she was little, she has had dreams about a boy named Max. Alice always felt like Max was a person, and he was a big part of her life. She had just learned to cope with the fact that he was not a real person until he walked into her English class. This book explores Alice and Max's journey to figure out why they dream about each other and how to stop it. I liked this book, but I wouldn't say its one of my favorites. The romance of the book was very predictable, but I really liked the twist with the dreams and how you could see inside them.

       The way the author described Alice's dreams was very descriptive. She would explain the setting in great detail by describing colors and Alice's feelings. I could imagine the dream in vivid detail whenever she wrote about it. Another part of Dreamology that I found very interesting was the way the author described Alice's love for Max. It was as if I could see into her head and hear how she was trying to get over him. You could tell how her whole world was flipped upside down when Alice moved and how it affected her emotionally. This book was interesting to read, and I would recommend it to young readers who like romance and some fantasy.

So far, I am really enjoying The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Reading it during the writing process of our research papers really relieves the stress of it all. One thing that I find very interesting about this book is the use of humor. I like that the book is funny but i also think that it is interesting how the author uses humor to discuss more serious topics. However, I think it is fitting for the narrator of this book because of his age. While reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, I think it is very interesting how it is written in a diary-like format. If it was written like a regular book, it wouldn’t be nearly as good because you couldn’t see inside Junior’s head as he develops through his journey. Like the writing format, I also think that the pictures add a lot to the development of Junior as a character. In a novel format, the narrator could say that Junior wants to be a cartoon artist, but showing the cartoons themselves really empha...

Fall Break

       Fall break is one of my favorite times of the year because it gives me time to relax and do whatever I want. My break started off with having a friend over to spend the night. While she was over, we went to the Episcopal football game and met up with some people there. We stayed until the very end and cheered on the Knights. After the game, we went back to my house and watched some movies.        The next day, we went to the mall. It was so much fun because we got to walk around and shop. One of my favorite stores at the mall is Sephora. We went to Sephora and tested all of the newest make-up and skin care products. After a long day of shopping, we went to the food court and got some ice cream. Once we had both gotten home, I spent the next few days relaxing and taking a break from school.

Concert

       This summer, my family and I went on a huge road trip to North Carolina and Washington DC. While we were in the car, we always listened to John Mayer's new album, the Search for Everything. As we listened to it more and more, my whole family started to really love it, and we associated it with our summer. We would listen to it in the car, at cook outs, and just around the house.        As our summer came to an end, my mom asked us if we wanted to go to his concert. I wasn't super excited about it because it was the night before orientation day, so I decided not to go. School was nearing and my sister, Emily, was so excited for the concert, but I didn't want summer to end. The day before orientation day, I went to go get a hair cut, and when I was done it was around 4 pm. My mom asked my on the way home, "Do you want to go to the John Mayer concert?" I was so confused because my sister was about to leave in thirty minutes, and I didn't kno...
