Books & Authors - October 2007

(takes place in the future)Summary:“What was it like 25 years ago?” all 45 students wonder aloud. Natalia twitches impatiently, awaiting Mrs. Welsh’s reply.
“Well it was a lot less crowded, a lot more cooperation, a lot less violence,” is all the teacher had to say, all any adult had to say.
“I think we should get rid of the useless people. The people like Natalia and Kay. They are a waste of space,” Ayden whispered to his group of friends. Kassidy giggled and many others glared at the two friends. Natalia and Kay may not have any evidence, leaving them to appear as two perturbed nobody’s, but they soon wouldn’t need it. They were on a mission to discover the truth behind the acceleration in wars, overpopulation, and poverty.

Chapter overveiws:
Chapter 1: New Student
Natalia moves cities (surrounding cities are supposedly under quarantine) and switches schools. She is rejected by other students and teachers, doesn’t fit in. (exposition)

I have recently started to read them and am in love with his writing! I have found that of the few that I have read so far, though, there are certain ones that I find more entertaining than others. Which ones are your favorite? Why? Are there any that you especially reccommend, that I should read first?

Thanks so much!

I'm an English learner. I'm having trouble of understanding this book. Because it has too many metaphors. Can anyone help me finding a study guide for this book. I think it's kinda hard to find one because it's a non-fiction book.
Thanks for ur answer. Really appreciate it!

I'm an eighth grader who loves to read and my teacher said we are having an Outside Reading Project. I have no clue what book to read though. I'm the kind of person who can read anything so don't worry about the level or difficulty or length of the material. I would like to read something thrilling and unique. I'm okay with classic stories too! I have already read the following books:
- Entire Harry Potter Series
- Tom Sawyer
- Huckleberry Finn
- Little Women
- and many others
I would really like it if someone could recommend a great series because ever since Harry Potter ended, I'm not interesting in any other books anymore. Thanks!

In a non-fiction book of this nature, the author would examine how states that use this form of punishment use it unjustly, putting innocent civilians to death while refusing to accept whatever evidence of their innocence that may come up, even using the "race card" to justify their means, and prosectuors who deny ever putting an innocent man to death.

In a fiction book, you would have a wife and mother as your protagonist, whose husband is charged for killing a teenage girl. She stands by her man despite evidence of his guilt piling up in court, he is eventually found guilty and sentence to die in the electric chair. Afterwards, she becomes depressed and angry, and takesher feelings out on the murder victim's family, saying she got what she deserved when her husband killed her, even sabatoging a memorial get-together for friends and family on the anniversary of the girl's death. The widowed woman eventaully uses the electric chair to attempt suicide.

As Banned Books Week draws to a close, I've been visiting the American Library Association's website, and I noticed that two of this year's most challenged books are "And Tango Makes Three" by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, and "The Earth, My Butt, and Other Round Things" by Carolyn Mackler, citing anti-family as one of the reasons.

http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/challengedbanned/challengedbanned.htm#mfcb

Scroll down to the background information, and I read there have been 202 anti-family challenges between 1990 and 2000 and 211 anti-family challenges between 2000 and now. I'm a bit confused about this, and have found nothing when I put this in a search on Yahoo! Dictionary and Wikipedia.

So, how is anti-family defined in this case?

I have a good story line and everything but I just don't know how to put a world together. Do you go really outlandish or try to keep it as simple as possible?

I'm 21 and taking this children's literature class and have been introduced to all these books written for teens. I love them! (I read Uglies and can't wait to read Pretties and Specials.) Is this weird? Is anyone else like me?

I need to read some books with strong women as the character the story focuses on. They need to be competent and smart, and not emotionally weak. Romance is fine, as long as the girl really does kick @ss, which will probably only be found in more modern works. If it is romance, it needs action in there as well (like Tara Janzen's "Crazy" series). For any other genre, action is also a must. Fantasy, even sci-fi if it's really outstanding, and anything in between. If the lady is edgy, even better. Even if the character is unrealistic, this is the kind of thing I'm looking to read right now. Any suggestions?
Thanks! :)
