Dope sick and the way it clings you

Dope sick by Walter Dean Myers is a book about a teenage boy who makes a bad mistake one day in life and wants to go back that 24 hours to make things right.

I deeply liked how this book felt so realistic because it made you feel like you had done the mistake and you felt like Kelly was talking to you and you were going crazy. I also liked how Kelly talked to Lil J about the situation calmly instead of being intense and making it seem like Lil J was a serial killer on the loose , even though he did shoot a cop but he didn't realize until he calmed down.

Another thing I enjoyed about reading this book is that Kelly would seem like a therapist and isn't scared to look in the eyes of a suspect. I found Kelly's "therapy" very good for Lil J because it made him think about what he would do if he could go back and change the situation so he didn't make the mistake again. I think if Lil J got in another dangerous situation he would maybe get flashbacks of when he was speaking his mind and listening to Kelly.

Lastly on behalf off the author Walter Dean Myers , I liked how he overall shaped this story. He used powerful sentences made with strong verbs to make the book very intense and heart beating. I admit that this book would become scary at sometimes and cause me from not reading it at night just because of some of the descriptions. I still read it anyways and i',m glad I did because it changed the way I look somethings including my past mistakes.

Interview with Vampire... *a little spoiler but shouldn't be too bad*

I quit my previous book by Sharon Draper seeing it was very unrealistic and a bit easy. I say this because characters didn't have no particular feeling to certain things and they were very dry and dead. Overall this book was very unreal and boring so i decided to pick up an adult book and read it named "Interview With The Vampire" by Anne Rice. I have to say this is so far a WAY, better read than "Just Another Hero" since the book so far includes suspense,action,and good dialogue which I say makes a book good for me in my opinion.

I'm mainly going to talk about the vampire character because he is unique in his own way and it interest me how he sort of thinks of the world. I think the vampire sorta has a different personality because he doesn't see the world like any normal person would , like when his brother died he really didn't have any feeling and he didn't mope around mourning the loss. Instead he studied his brothers death trying to find how this incident happened without no fear. I wondered why did he investigate this situation so much? and not the cops because maybe he could have done something to cause this death? or maybe he just felt pain inside but didn't show it outside and kept strong.

The characters are fluent and good people so I like this book so far because its mixed with reality and a slight bit of fake since it involves vampires which is very smart.

Sharon Draper Does it Again.

I recently picked up a new book to read and it was by none other by the inspiring Sharon Draper. The book is called Just Another Hero and looks to be a fun read just by looking at the cover featuring bright yellow caution tape and broken windows looked to be slapped on. Seeing this made the book jump out to me just like any other book.

In chapter 2 I noticed a little of the character being exposed with a very stubborn emotion. I think this because Arielle lets out true opinion of a friend named that was pregnant by saying they are fat , and swollen right after the person loss their boyfriend in a stunt. I don't think this is necessary or right because shes kinda trash talking November and pretending to be a friend. I think the deeper meaning of this whole scene was to show a little bit of hate in the character so later on in the book maybe we would see these traits again , although Arielle can be nice she still has some built up anger from somewhere. Maybe Arielle could possibly be selfish and thinks the world revolves around her and that her feelings bring others down or maybe she could be nice on the outside and maybe have issues on the inside. I think Arielle should worry about herself instead of others because if she has problems with others and then a rumor or issue gets out things could get ugly quick.

Concluding Arielles feelings from the opening scene and other chapters I read I think Arielle might keep these feelings inside her and try to become friends with November again since its basically a renewed friendship. I hope there will be some tense situations that Arielle is involved in so I can see how she reacts.
