BEAUTY POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! I THINK................
So I just read a book called "Beauty Pop" and so basically its about this girl Kiri who is like a genus when it comes to hair cutting. She can pickup a scissor and make everyone beautiful. But she doesn't wan't to cut hair. But in the school there's this group called the Scissor Project where these 3 boys give makeovers only on pretty girls. So all the other girls who aren't "pretty" enough they don't make the cut and are left to beg. But Kiri does makeovers on the girls who were left to beg and helps them but leaves her name anonymous. And the Scissor Project is rally mad at Kiri (but don't know she's the one) because they think she's stealing the spot light.  

So this book is really awesome. I think the book isn't only about cutting hair and being the best in Japan. It's about you know true beauty and stuff like that. I mean the reason Kiri decides to do a make over on Kanako was because the boys in the scissor project were really mean to her and being such jerk. And I guess this book shows us that you know anyone can be beautiful. Because they believe that Kanako and some other girl int he book later on can't be beautiful. So they reject them.

But what message is this sending to us. I mean sure there's nice pictures and the story line is really nice and unique. But like you have to be pretty and get a total makeover to get the boy of your dreams. But then again Kanako ended up changing her makeover back to how she looked like and decided she didn't want to change her image for a boy. So this book was really good and did teach me you don't have to change you're image for a boy.    

ART WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So for this art work I picked Boy With Bubble. I really wanted to choose the one with the babies sitting around a table but the image wouldn't enlarge and I couldn't see much of the image. So this was the next beast thing. I've chosen this one because I just like the picture it's self. There's this kid with a cigarette in his mouth and he's playing with a bubble. And I really thought that this was interesting because he DOES NOT look of smoking age (actually there shouldn't be an age of smoking) and in the background there's this other little boy. And when I see this image I think of this kids youth and I guess how he's losing it.

So first of SMOKING KILLS!!!!!! And this little kid is smoking and he's so young. And he's killing himself. So he's losing his youth by smoking and killing himself and not having clean lungs so he could do fun kid stuff. He's also seem's to be much matured then his age. He's wearing this sliver ring, a button down shirt and he has a cigarette in his mouth. While the kid in the background is just wearing a simple plain t-shirt and some pants. But he's face is covered with paint. Unlike the kid with the cigarette who's face isn't and is clean.

So I really liked this image because of the message it is saying. How in some places children are losing their youth. Where its from wanting to grow up too soon. Or like in places were children are forced to fight in a war. I guess I really like this image because it's really sidle. There's just this little boy with a cigarette in his mouth playing with a bubble and an other little boy standing in the background. And I guess most people won't realize it that this little boy letting go of his youth (THE BUBBLE!!!!!) and trying to group up (THE CIGARETTE!!!!!) to soon.

NOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My nomination would go to JOANNA. i think this because Joanna's blog post are so thought provoking. I mean her post are exactly what the requirements are for posting a post. And she extends her paragraphs with thought full ideas. She also connects her books to real life. And I just think it should go to Joanna because her post make me think about certain books in a different way.       

ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A GOOD BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I just finished reading this book over the weekend. And it was really good. So basically it starts with a girl on a ship and she doesn't know why she's here or the events leading up to her arrival on the ship. She later finds out that she was killed in a hit and run and this boat is taking her to elsewhere. Which is a place where all the dead go and they age backwards until there 7 days old and are sent back to earth to live life again. It's a really interesting book the main character Liz is in denial when she finds out she's was killed, and if you died at a young age you have the opportunity to go back to earth and live life all over again. And Liz thinks because she was killed early there's no point in living life. But she finds out later that even if she might be getting younger as time passes her life is still worth living.

In this book all Lizzy wants more than anything is to grow up. So that's why she decides it would be better just for her to go back to earth and live life all over again. But instead of going down the river leading into earth and be re-born she decided it would be better just to live the life she has now. Because when she goes back to earth she will no longer be Lizzy, she'd be someone else. And she after thinking this through she decides not to go to earth and stay as Liz. And she also realizes when she goes back to earth she won't remember her old family, or be a part of them anymore.

I think this book has to do with growing up. Everyone wants to grow up and be able to do stuff that we can't do because were to young. And we forget about our youth and how important it is to us. Lizzy is mortified with the idea of aging backwards. All she wants to do is grow up. Do all the adult things in life. And now because she's aging backwards she'll stay a kid forever. And that's the reason Lizzy wants to leave elsewhere. Because she wan'ts to grow up and not stay a kid. but Lizzy then realizes that she is technically growing up. she isn't growing up physically but she realizes that in her life she has done some amazing things and life isn't how long you live. It's how you spend it.               

THE LOVELY BONES!!!!!!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I recently just finished reading the Lovely Bones. It's such a good book!!!!!! No, people always say that the book is better than the movie in some cases yes. But the movie was really good and book was even BETTER!!!!!! Ok so everyone knows its about this girl who abducted and raped and then killed and no one ever finds out who the killer is and he ends up getting away with it. But the book has so many good parts in it. In the beginning of the book she is killed. So the rest of the book is just her up in I guess in heaven, and watches over everyone she loves, and talks about her life in heaven and life before. But its really good.

So in this book it deals a lot with relationships. It could be from family relationship to boyfriend girlfriend relationship. So in family ways her farther is the one who is stricken with it the most. I mean everybody pretty sad but he's just a ship wreck. So because of this sad event he ends up losing his family. And he loved her so much that he knew who her killer was the day he talked with him (its Mr. Harvey) and he just knew form the start that he was the man who killed him. And relationship because of this Suisse's mom ends up leaving her family for 7 years because her husband wouldn't move on with his life, he was stuck in this one event. And she ended up committing adultery with the detective who was on Suisse's case.

And this book is manly about relationships. And it showed me that relationships were really important. That one person can affect anthers person life in a simple or a really big way positive or negative. How the death of Suisse caused her farther to go into a man stuck in time. And her mother to commit adultery. But her death also caused her younger sister to become a beautiful young adult. Or her brother who even is 12 years old he is still that 4 year old heart broken. Or Ruth who when Suisse's soul left her body the day she was killed passed by Ruth. And Ruth was changed forever since.  

MRS.PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN

THERE MAY BE SPOILERS SO SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I finished this book over the vacation, and it was okay. I mean there were pretty picture (more like black and white photos of the past which was a pretty cool affect) and the story line was original. But I wasn't a big fan of the ending. The book starts with a boy named Jacob, and when he was younger his grand-father told him story's about his childhood. Where he became an orphan and went to live in this island where kids with magical powers lived. And it turns out he lived during world war 2, so him being an orphan was true but the stories were fake but he couldn't solve the pictures. Then he's 16 and his grand-father dies and the monsters killed him but no one can see the monsters and he's crazy. And he goes off to the island and finds out the children are real and the monsters try to kill him. But they beat the bad guys and live happily ever after! YAY! Oh and his power is to see the monsters so... yeah.

I didn't really like the ending it was so happy, the children aren't killed by the monsters and he lives with them. But I guess this book is about family and stuff. How I guess you should believe what your family is saying, or most of it. Because of Jacob just believed his grand dad he'd still be alive. But then his parents wouldn't believe him and he was sent to a shrink because he was "crazy". But he wasn't he was just telling the truth but no one believed in him.


And even if family can be crazy at times you should believe them because they might be telling the truth. And not only with family its with friends. Because his friend thought he was crazy so he stopped hanging out with him and they stopped being friends. Or that your family might not always be the people who gave birth to you. Jacob had a special power and his father didn't because it skipped a generation. Jacob and his grand-father were able to see the monsters. And he couldn't connect with his family because they weren't peculiar. So when he found the house for peculiar children it was better if just stayed with them because they were his new family because they were like related and Jacob ending up living happily ever after with his new family.
