Blog Post Number Two - What I Found Interesting

Amelia - ameliabedelia13.blogspot.com

I read Amelia's response, 'Make Lemonade' by Virginia Euwer Wolff. I thought that it was interesting how she told the summary of the book. Such as stating a lot about the main character - Verna LaVaughn. I also liked how she wrote how she felt about the book in the beginning, telling the reader about how depressing the beginning of the book was. And based on what I read about Amelia's response, I really want to go and read this book.

I also read Helen's response, 'Before We Were Free' by Julia Alverez. I also read this book over the summer. But after reading Helen's response on it, I thought about the book in a different way than I was when I read it over the summer. Just like Amelia's response, Helen told us about the main character - Anita de la Torre, and how she lived in the Dominican Reepublic in the 1960s during the dictatorship. But Helen also tells us about Anita's feelings. And how she has to stay strong, and try not to cry. That was probably my favorite part of the response because it really showed what Anita had to go through, and how tough it was for not only her, but also everyone else in her family and on the island.
