Well, I am finally here. I have finally finished the book, "Inside Out Girl" by Tish Cohen. As this is my last blog for this assignment, I am very sorry if I bore you with information. Here are some questions that I have awnsered about this book;
     1. Would you recommend tthis book? Why or why not?
   Yes, I would recommend this book. I would probably recommened it to a mature person who a) has a family and thinks that they have some bumps in the road and b) to a teenager who may be going through some certain things in their life. (i.e-questioning their sexuality, family issues)  If you want to know why I would recommend it to this group of people, it's because that's what the plot is about-a family with a few problems. If you don't believe me, read the book!
     2. If there was a sequal to this book, what do you think would happen in it?
   If there was a sequal to this book, I would think that the 4 main parts in the novel would be
  1.- How Len deals with his disease.
  2.-How Rachel deals with being Olivia's mother.
  3.-How Janie deals with her sexuality with being a lesbian since her whole high school knows and her family does too
  4. How Dustin will try to get attention since he really is just sitting in the background.

                       I'm sad and happy to say that my blogging days are over for this novel. But I will soon be blogging once more on a new assignment for my english!!! Toodlez!

I am on  my second last blog for the book "Inside Out Girl" by Tish Cohen. I wasn't really sure on what to blog about so I decided to blog about the plot of the story. The plot of a story is a huge part of the reader's overal look of the book. If the plot isn't interesting and it's too slow in the beginning, then the reader may abandon the book and not want to read some other novels written by the author. I know that I have read many books where I have abandoned it because I lost interest. Like we learned in english in the first few weeks of school, if you graph how interesting or intence a book is, then it will show you how exciting the plot is. I am very happy to say that I did not abbandon this story and that even though it was a little slower than most books that I have read, the plot was pretty good, so far! I can't wait to see how the book ends in the last few pages!

I am almost finished reading "Inside Out Girl" by Tish Cohen. I only have 2 more blogs to go until the end of the book!!  I am wondering how the book will all end. I am most thinking about Len (who has a tumour in his head that cannot be removed) and if he will survive. Since he cannot have chemo, I am thinking that he will sadly pass away. But I am also thinking about his daughter, Olivia and where she will go when this tragedy happens. I predict that she will go and live with Len's girlfriend, Rachel's house and live with her family. I can't wait to finish the book and see how Tish Cohen, (the author) finishes the tradgic tale of, "Inside Out Girl"

#8 the most dangerous game

I feel that General Zarrof is a horrifying man. The way that he thinks his killing game is "fair" is just plain wrong.  Wanting to kill another human in order for Zarrof to have a thrill in order for the prey to be free is very in humane. This game is not fair as General Zarrof gives his prey only limited weapons and food to last three days while he has his pack of blood hounds and a rifle. He also knows the land a lot better than Rainsford knew. Over all, General Zarrof was a creepy, discusting man in my opinon.

As I am reading the novel, Inside Out Girl, I have been visulizing what I read in my head. When I am reading a really sad part, for example, I am picturing the character, Len in a dark, gloomy, doctor's office sitting on a really uncomfortable chair that are always at the doctor's offices. When the doctor walks into the room, he has a sad, upset look on his face as he tells Len that he has a tumor. And as the thoughts are swarming through Len's head, I am picturing what he is saying. For example, when he starts to worry about his daughter and how her life will change, I picture a teenager wandering the streets searching for something that she can't find. Do you ever have those moments? If you aren't picturing things in your head as you read a discriptive part, then you may want to reread it over again because it could be a huge part that you are missing out on!!
                  P.S.-I sure hope that the book gets to be a little more interesting-it's starting to drag, again!

#7 the lunch date

I believe that when the lady went back to New Jersey, she would have brought back many rewards, not physically, but mentaly. I think she would not judge people as hard because she learned that no one is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes. Another thing that she would bring back is that she would probably learn that homeless people are not as rude or mean as she thinks they would be. When she accused the man of stealing, he could have walked away or started a fight with the lady.(verbaly)  I think that everyone that watched the video would also learn these same lessons.

#6 the marathon of hope- running into the wind

I believe that Terry Fox's journey would deffinetly fit into a quest chart. There would be soem great points for "Growing Up" like how he played basketball and how he never gave up his dream to be on the team. The "Call to Adventure" would have to be when Terry finds out about his cancer and looses his leg in the end. When he finally decides to run across Canada in order to raise money foe the CCS, that would also be a strong point. For " The Quest" I think that when he starts his journey would be the main point. When Terry passes away from the cancer spreading into his lungs, that would be another strong point. And finally, " Rewards and Triumphs" would have to be that even 30 years later, The Marathon Of Hope is still going on and thanks to Terry Fox, over $500,000,000 has been donated to cancer research. I think Terry would be proud.  So that's why I think that Running into the Wind would be able to fit into the quest chart.
