Reading Skills
In my book If I Stay there is a lot of choices that Mia must make. I predict that she will follow her family members to see how they like their "afterlives" (Is it better than being alive?) and that she will also follow around her boyfriend in his life to see which one seems better for her. I predict this because she only has two choices, to continue living or to just go ahead and die. I think that she will look at all the pros and cons of both choices before she actually chooses since this is such a big decision. Another prediction that I have is that she will try and communicate with her boyfriend but it will not work. I predict this because she has already tried to talk to her family, but because she isn't fully dead yet they couldn't communicate. Since she isn't fully alive I don't think that she will be able to communicate with her boyfriend either (he is alive). The biggest question that I have is, Who will she choose? I also wonder, If she can't communicate with either side, how can she tell which choice is better? The Text to World connection that I made was that, every day people lose loved ones in car accidents and that is exactly what happened in this book. Mia and her family got in a car accident and all of them but Mia lost there life. Now the rest of their family has to deal with the fact that they will never see them again. The Text to Text connection that I made was that, in the book Delirium by Lauren Oliver, Lena also has to make the choice between her boyfriend and her family. Lastly, the Text to Self connection that I made was, in my life I have been faced with many choices and challenges that I have had to over come but you always look at the pros and cons of each decision and most importantly you follow your heart.

What do you think of this book so far?
ReplyDeleteSo far, I love this book. It is very suspenseful and you don't want to put it down. The plot is so different that it makes the book interesting. Out of ten I would give this book a 9.
DeleteThis book sounds really good I'm defiantly going to add it to mt list of "want to reads". What do you think of it so far?
ReplyDeleteLike I said in the above reply, I love it so far. It is full of supsense and you never want to put it down. I can't wait to get to the conclusion of this book. I really want to know who she will choose. I think there is a sequel to this book so I am hoping that we find out who she chooses in this book and not the next one.
DeleteThis sounds like a very good book. Have you read any other books by this author yet? If so, what are the titles of those books?
