Different Perspectives

Every Day
By David Levithan

Reviewed by Sheila Butler

Do you ever wonder what it would feel like to be in other people’s bodies? Well Every day, by David Levithan lets you in on what it feels like to switch bodies. 

In the book, the main character who calls itself A, wakes up in a new body every morning. This allows him to experience life in a new person’s body. In different bodies he meets new people, but one of his experiences made him really experience something that made him feel love. He met this girl named Rhiannon, and in the day that he met her he was in the body of her boyfriend. Together they had the best day, and A couldn't stop thinking of Rhiannon after that day. From that day on, in different bodies, he would find a way to get to Rhiannon and talk to her. As the days went on, A finally tried to explain to her how he took on the body of her boyfriend and how he is always is a different body.

So far I have enjoyed this book very much. I thought it was well written and it showed a lot of emotions. Even though in real life people don’t switch bodies, it still talked about emotions that people could relate to and think about. The reason why I enjoyed this book so far is because the story was very captivating and it made you feel as though you want to keep reading more. Also the story was overall really interesting and I liked the way the author wrote so for every new chapter it was another day in another body. Something that has been captivating in this book so far would be A has been faced with many challenges throughout the book and it is intriguing to see how he reacts and how he tries to resolve them because he is in a whole different challenge of being in a different life the next day.

Although I really enjoyed this book so far, I think it is directed toward teenagers and younger adults. This is because the characters are teenagers and express some things that are more relatable to that age group. I do think that even if you don’t relate to some of the things going on you could still read the book because it was a very good story and it was very enjoyable.

Equality...Kind Of

Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of WWII Christopher Paul Moore Review by Will Hunt          Does color on the outside of us really matter? Why do people judge others based off of our outside skin color?          In Black Soldiers-The Unsung Heroes of WWII you hear many intriguing decisions, for better or worse, made by white males with power in the army or government. These decisions were typically made on whether black or African-American soldiers should be used in combat during the war. Often they chose to use them, but they would be given less significant jobs solely for the fact they were African-American. These included cooking, cleaning and more chores, not fighting. An example of this was when USA started to send men down to Australia. Along with these men they would send big machinery, weaponry and goods to have the ability to set up a base. Australia was completely fine with this...as long as black soldiers didn’t come. An ...

The Fight for Survival

The Death Cure By: James Dashner Reviewed by: Cole Metallides Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if a disease has wiped out most of the population? In the fiction Novel, The Death Cure , which is part of a series of novels consisting of The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trial, by James Dashner, the main character Thomas and many of his friends are trapped in a skyscraper created by a company by the name of the WICKED. WICKED’s goal is to find a cure for the Flare, a serious disease that has killed most of the human population. Their way of finding the cure is very inhumane and involves human testing. I will be summarizing the first quarter of the book. In the beginning of the novel, the kids are put through many strenuous and painful tests that most of the time just seem completely unnecessary. Many of the boys find themselves in rooms that are nothing but white and plain. They haven’t been able to shower for many days and are very confused about why they are there....
