Realistic Fiction

I choose to read this book because I was very interested in the theology behind it. It's based off of the book Revelations from the Bible and the predicted Tribulation period. Also this is the fourth book in the Left Behind series that I had already been reading.

This book takes place primarily in the third year of the Tribulation. The Wrath of the Lamb, a destructive world wide earthquake struck earth and millions are dead. The Characters despertally try to find their loved ones and clinging onto their faith.

Their biggest problem is the government. The entire world has become completly under the control of the Antichrist, who wants to see all Christians dead. The world continues to become an increasingly dangerous place for the Christian characters who find that they can relay on nothing but God himself.

The title Soul Harvest has a simple but significant meaning. Durring the Tribulation hundreds of millions will become Christians and devoute their lives to serving God. Or dedicate their souls for God's purpose. The characters in the book work hard to get the gospel known to all so that they can also serve the Lord. They joke that they are "harvesting souls" for the Lord.

I would ask the author if he could point out exactly where in the Bible he did most of research from and explain some the theology in the book. Because I think that the theology is the most important part because it pertains some to my life and I would like to understand.

I would also ask the author why he decided to write the book. I would enjoy knowing his reasons for publishing fiction book based on what the Bible says.

Another question I would ask is how much of the story is strictly Biblical based and how much is made up in order to make it into a detailed story. This would be very interesting and It would give me a better consept of the Tribulation to come.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

Book Blog by Sarah Beatty

This book has a genre of teen fiction. Even though its fiction, it can depict realistic events that teens might go through in real life, which is why I find this genre so enjoyable.

I chose this book because it was described as a story of music teen romance and humor which all appeal to me. Since I love music so much, the fact that music is tied into the story made me initially interested in reading this book.

Nick O’Leary, the bassist of a queercore band called the “F*** Offs”, just got dumped by his long-time love, Tris. He had a big problem of getting over her, whether he realized it or not. And that’s where Norah Silverberg comes into the picture. Nick and Norah, who had never met before, get thrust into a five-minute relationship, in an attempt to avoid Tris. So what started out as just a game, turned into so much more than what either of them expected.

Together they embark on an adventure in “the city that never sleeps”, taking unexpected twists and turns every step of the way. All in one sleepless night, these two recently heartbroken teenagers, who have nothing in common, become closer and closer, over mix tapes, common enemies, strip clubs, ukrainian soul food, ice room scandals, and much more.

The significance of this book's title is really important. Although it is straightforward, it is the conclusion of the story. It represents Nick and Norah, and their on-going adventure together.
"But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist."

If I could ask the author three questions...

1. Did anyone inspire you to create the character of Nick or of Norah?

I would ask Rachel Cohn or David Levithan this question because both characters seem very well developed, both with strong personalities, that they could be an actual person.

2. Did any of the events that occured in the book portray one of your personal experiences?

I would ask either of the authors this because often times authors take past experiences and put them in their books. Since Nick and Norah had pretty unique adventures in the book, I think it would be interesting to see if they were inspired by themselves.

3. What message do you want most do you want your readers to get out of reading this book?

This seems like a sensible question to me because authors usually have a purpose behind their stories, and since there is no obvious moral of this story to me, I'm sure readers get different ideas of the purpose behind this book. Overall, it seems like a book just for entertainment, but I interpreted it as if it were saying that life is always changing; every moment is a song, and your life is an infinite playlist.

You, Maybe By Rachel Vail

You, Maybe
Author: Rachel Vail

This book is fiction

What made me initially interested in the book was the cover than I read the blurb on the back and I was hooked in a minute. A bunch of questions running through my head. Who is Josie going to chose? Carson or Michael? Why does Josie say “love is a brat”? Another reason way is because I felt like I could relate and connect to the girl because she is a sophomore in high school just like me and she sounds like she is going through the same problem I am.

You, maybe is about a girl named Josie who is stuck between Michael her best friend with benefits or Carson the hottest senior guy. Josie is a sophomore, she is independent and sassy, she flirts with many guys like kissing them but it never means anything to her. The book goes into detail of how Carson tries to get Josie to be his girlfriend. Between her arriving at his house in her clown costume, Carson tells her to check her pocket and she pulls her hand out bleeding, taking her to the movies and singing to her. Or does Josie choose Michael who admits to her that he loves her, that he has been in love with her since kindergarten, how he wants to grow up with her, get old together, how he wants to loose there virginity together. Among all the guy drama Josie doesn’t have time for Zandra and Tru her two best friends. Josie ditched Michael on his 16th birthday to be with her boyfriend Carson, Michael got really mad. When Josie went to Carson’s house they got in a big fight over Carson thinking that Josie didn’t love him. So Josie did a big move and left one of her grandmother’s earrings that she hasn’t taken off in years for Carson to show that she loves him. But, than at the mountains Carson told Josie that he didn’t love her. The next day Michael shows up at the mountains because Josie’s mom was in a car wreck and wants to see her. But Josie doesn’t want to leave in fear of loosing Carson. At the end he ends up giving the earring back. Josie is mad and hits him with a wiffle bat and says “well this time you don’t get what you want.” When she hit him he said “that hurt you really hurt me.” And Josie says “right back at you bye-bye Carson”


The significance of the title is that Josie’s mom was in a car wreck and Josie and Carson are in a fight and he says “go, the guy (Michael) drove up in a blizzard to get you, and your mother is in the hospital. What’s wrong with you?” and Josie says “you, maybe”

If I could ask Rachel Vail any three questions they would be
1. Why did you make Josie a sophomore and Carson a senior?
*I don’t understand why she made them so far apart in age
2. Is the story based off personal experience or is it just a made up?
*This story can relate to many teenage girls and I would want to know if she could relate to all of us too.
3. Why did Josie pick who she did?
*I want to know if there was something significance about the person that she chose.

Among The Enemy

Among the enemy

Margaret Peterson Haddix

Book Blog By: Mark P.

This is a series of a popular fiction book, so I decide to try it out and see why it’s so popular.

The book is about a boy named Matthias who is trying to survive with his best friends Percy and Alia. One day while running from the Population Police, an organization who acts like its own government and military, that controls food and enforces the no-3rd-child rule, Percy gets shot in the leg, and Alia gets hit unconscious. While Matthias goes looking for medicine, he saves the life of a Population Police officer, who unknowingly forces Matthias to join. After the officer is killed from poisoning the commander of the organization takes him under his wing.
There Matthias uncovers a plot to finally kill all the illegal third born kids. So, with a help of an illegal 3rd child undercover, he leaks the information to the rebels, but they can’t get rid of the plot without wasting precious food. Matthias tricks a group of soldiers to give the food starving civilians and the rebels blow up the building with the commander in it, who found out about Matthias. Later, Matthias finds out that Percy and Alia are safe, and that’s where the book ends.

This title was used, because Matthias was among his enemy, and he found out what one boy can do to a wicked bureaucracy.
The three questions I would ask him are:

1.) How many more books are you going to write in this series?
I asked this because this is already the sixth book, and was wondering how much more the author was planning to write.

2.) Does the commander of the organization expose Matthias?
After the explosion Matthias gets hurt and hides in an abandoned warehouse with a rebel, but before that he throws an unconscious guard at the commander and, because of that both of them survive too. I was wondering if the commander still goes after Matthias even though he saves his life.

3.) Will the organization ever be destroyed and how?
The way the story so far is going it looks like the organization is too strong for the rebels, Matthias, and his friends and at the end will win.
