The Book Thief: Spoiler Alert!!!

I have just finished reading the Book Thief. It turns out I did not like it in the end. The ending was very sad and it depressed me. Almost everyone dies. Actually, in the epilogue everyone is dead. But right before the epilogue only Liesel and Max survived. So in my opinion, it was a bad book, but other people who read it who I have talked to absolutely loved it. Everyone has different opinions right?

 

School uniforms

 

Hey guys, it’s been a while since my last post. Sorry about that. But today I have a strong opinion on school uniforms. So at my old school we all always had to wear uniforms. I never really liked it because I just really wanted to wear all the stuff that is equivalent to Abercrombie in America. But now that I’m out of school I think I understand. I also realize how expensively silly and extravagant now. I believe it is because some people could not afford it. Also, the people who put that rule in place wanted everyone to be equal and not judge other people because they are not wearing these silly petty labels that have everyone’s knickers in a bunch.

 

The Book Thief

Ok so right now i am reading a teen book called The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. I am up to page 37. So far it is not that great but at the same time I can’t stop reading it. It might be the mysterious narrator. But it could also be the mystery of the book thief herself. It really seems like when I’m finished I will love The Book Thief.

A vignette (not a true story)

My name is Rita
I am seven years old
I am from Santa Maria Del Molise, Italy
It is the only place I have every known
We are moving our lives to America
I have two older sisters
They are named Connie and Philamena
Connie is eleven and Philly is fifteen

Everyone in our household has their job
Our jobs go hand in hand with each others
My parents work very hard on the farm
to make money and always have fresh food
Philly has been making lunch and dinner
for Connie and I for as long as I can remember
My sisters and I tend to the animals on the farm

I hear children don’t work in the house
In America
Because their parents have time to
Do the house work
Because there’s no need to work,
The streets are made of gold
You could use that as money

And most children can go to schooland learn things for life
Like math
And English
And science
And the history of the world

We will get a new home,
One that is not so crowded
One with real brick walls
And it will be really big too
The back yard will be so big
That we will be able to
Fit three of our farms into it

I could become famous in America
I could be an actress
I would be the best of them all
My sisters could be my back ups
Or Philly could do my make up
And Connie can do my hair

But still, I will miss Italy,
It is home
It will always be home to me.

Beauty: My Thoughs

No matter where you live, or how perfect it is you all have stereotypes. In France, the styotipical beautiful woman is close to the styotipical beautiful woman American, kind, petite, etc. The French stereotype is small with long hair and large eyes, a kind demeanor and a seeming need to take care of and nurse the men she sees as important in her life.
