This story is about the friendship of 2 classmates

It was the first day Mia was waiting to have new friends. She saw a girl and said "Hello what's your name?" Mia said. The girl said Amena quietly. Mr. Brown, their teacher said to work in pairs for a math activity. Mia asked Amena to be her partner and Amena said yes. Mia shouted "We have finished" Amena becane sad all of a sudden and Mua Sked her teacher why. Mr. Brown told the classroom to stop the activity and listen first. "Do you wat the city to be so dangerous that you need to move to a new place?" The students are horrified. "Your county, school, classmates are all gone. This is Amena's story". The class comforted Amena and accepted her.

My reflection is that we need to apprexiate the thibg we take for granted. In just a little time, they might be gone. I also learned to accept someone. Help someone in need. Make sure they are okay in sad times and make sure that they are physically and mentally healthy.

It was the first day of the fifth grade, and Mia was excited to see her name listed for the same class as three of her best friends. This year was going to be the best one ever!
Mia looked for her friends. They weren’t there yet, but when she turned around to decide what desk she wanted, she noticed a new student.

Mia decided to go over to the new girl and introduce herself.

“Hey, I’m Mia. What’s your name?”

The girl ignored her

“Hey, did you hear me? What’s your name?” She tried again. This time the girl whispered, “Amena,” and then got up quickly and walked away.

The teacher, Mr. Brown, walked over to Amena, and the two of them started talking. Then Mia’s friends came in, and she forgot all about the new girl.

The class was hard at work on multiplication problems. And struggling.

Mia happened to glance up at Amena she was already done! How?!

Mr. Brown said everyone could work together in pairs. Mia was a little nervous at the thought of asking Amena to be her partner, but Amena sure knew what she was doing!

“Hi, Amena,” Mia said when she walked over to her desk. “Will you be my partner? You seem really good at this, and I could use some help.” She smiled shyly.

Amena seemed hesitant at first, but after a moment, she quietly replied, “OK.”

Before long, with Amena’s help, Mia was starting to get the hang of it.

“Wow, you’re a genius, Amena!” Mia said excitedly as they finished up.

“No, not a genius,” Amena laughed, “but I was the best in my class before …” She suddenly stopped, her smile now a frown. She looked as if she were trying not to cry.

Before Mia could ask what was wrong, Mr. Brown announced that it was time for lunch.

Mia watched the class file out and waited behind to talk with him.

“Mr. Brown, I think there’s something wrong with Amena. She got really upset just now, but I don’t know why.”

“I think I might,” Mr. Brown said. “I’ll talk with her, OK?”

“OK,” Mia replied.

Back in the classroom after lunch, Mr. Brown began speaking. “Before we start on social studies, I’m going to tell you a story, but it’s not a very happy one. Please listen quietly until I am finished, and then I will answer your questions.”

Mia looked at her friends and they looked confused, just like she did.

“Imagine that our city became so dangerous that there was nowhere safe to go.”

The children in Mia’s class all looked horrified.

“No more school, no more recess, no more softball practice in the evenings. Imagine having to leave your home and move to a new place, where the people speak a different language.”

Some children were fighting back tears. Others looked down at their shoes.

“This is Amena’s story. She moved here from Syria, and she gave me

“If you consciously learn to regard the “problems” in your life as openings for you to adopt a greater understanding and then develop a better way of living, you will step out of the labyrinth of suffering and learn what it means to thrive”  -Brianna Wiest, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think

I’ve recently started reading this book and I love how it lives up to its title. How it made me understand myself more and see situations from a different perspective. Definitely one of the self-help books that truly did help me and I highly suggest it to people who feel lost as of the moment. I hope this book will heal you as much it did to me. I would also love to share one of the quotes that left an impact on me and it says,

Storm and Silence Book Series by Robert Thier

# data[].attributes.body
Robert Thier's series follows the journey of Lillian "Lilly" Linton as she fights for women's suffrage, declining the absurd grounds of politicians against women's rights. Lilly yearns for freedom and independence as she dresses in men's clothes, breaking society's stereotypes. One day, she barged into the polling station and met Rikkard Ambrose, one of the most powerful business magnates of the British Empire. Lilly started working as a private secretary under Mr. Ambrose, who calls her 'Mr. Linton.' After the truth unraveled, she was left with two choices: leave her job or do whatever her employer says and continue displaying a male persona.

Knowledge is power is time is money.

This series consists of seven books, and currently, I am reading the third book, Silence is Golden. I indulge in Lilly's adventures as she provides companionship in Ambrose's business affairs and conundrums. Also, I fancy the various themes involved in the story—courage, sisterhood, friendship, and dreams. Written in Lilly's point of view, I acknowledge her perceptions and attitude in any situation she encounters.

Marriage is supposed to be a union between two equals who love and support each other, not a master-slave relationship in which the man commands a docile woman.

In 19th-century London, women were introduced to society, expected to fulfill their roles of finding a husband and spending their lives at home. Lilly does not want fancy balls; she devotes herself to eradicating chauvinism and patriarchy. Her character portrays a strong and determined woman who encourages other women to fight for their rights and seize the chance to express themselves as men do.

The world is a heavy thing to bear, whether at the center or elsewhere. Why won't you let someone help you?

Barely noticing, Lilly slowly develops a liking for her employer, Mr. Ambrose. Aside from her story, the book also reveals how the two characters fall in love. I like how their love story develops leisurely, initially focusing on the characters' personalities and stories. I am already on the third book, but Lilly and Mr. Ambrose yet acknowledge the feelings of one another. Given this plot, I am intrigued by the impending escapades that will bring the two closer. Robert Thier's writing style appeals to the readers, stirring their interest and enthusiasm in reading. I highly recommend this book series to readers who like slow-burn romance and historical fiction, recognizing the focus of the series on the oppression of women's rights in the 19th century.

As someone who’s used to reading fiction, reading this book was a totally new and different experience. It was indeed full of life lessons to ponder upon. This book has influenced and changed my outlook in life in a very good way. It makes you wonder about the things in life that not once did you ever think about and makes you realize a lot about things that you thought you’re already sure about. It just captures your heart so wonderfully and leaves you in awe.

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
- C.S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis's fantasy novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a children's fantasy novel. It is the first and best-known of The Chronicles of Narnia's seven novels. It is also the most extensively owned of the author's novels in libraries. Though it's tough to explain why, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was perhaps my favorite novel in the series. The sense of wonder, mystery, and adventure is perhaps better achieved because it is the first book published. Perhaps the Pevensies, the Witch, Aslan, and others are given more thought in their portrayals. Maybe it's just nostalgia for the times I used to appreciate it as a kid. I really enjoyed going through the chapters of this book, the many plots, and turn of events made it even more exciting than I had expected it to be.

The Giver is written from the point of view of Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy living in a futuristic society. The society has eliminated all pain, fear, war, and hatred. The society has also eliminated choice: at age twelve every member of the community is assigned a job based on his or her abilities and interests.

Citizens can apply for and be assigned compatible spouses, and each couple is assigned exactly two children each. The children are born to Birthmothers, who never see them, and spend their first year in a Nurturing Center with other babies, or “newchildren,” born that year. When their children are grown, family units dissolve and adults live together with Childless Adults until they are too old to function in the society. Then they spend their last years being cared for in the House of the Old until they are finally “released” from the society. In the community, release is death, but it is never described that way; most people think that after release, newchildren and joyful elderly people are welcomed into the vast expanse of Elsewhere that surrounds the communities. Citizens who break rules or fail to adapt properly to the society’s codes of behavior are also released.

Jonas lives with his father, a Nurturer of new children, his mother, who works at the Department of Justice, and his seven-year-old sister Lily. At the beginning of the book , Jonas is apprehensive about the upcoming Ceremony of Twelve, when he will be given his official Assignment as a new adult member of the community.He doesn't have a certain professional interest, although he likes helping in a variety of jobs. Though he is a well-behaved citizen and a good student, Jonas is different: he has unusual powers of perception. Sometimes objects “change” when he looks at them. He does not know it yet, but he alone in his community can perceive flashes of color; for everyone else, the world is as devoid of color as it is of pain, hunger, and inconvenience.

At the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas is given the highly honored Assignment of Receiver of Memory. The Receiver is the sole keeper of the community’s collective memory. When the community went over to Sameness—its painless, and warless it abandoned all memories of pain, war, and emotion, but the memories cannot disappear totally. Someone must keep them so that the community can avoid making the mistakes of the past, even though no one but the Receiver can bear the pain. Jonas receives the memories of the past, good and bad, from the current Receiver, a wise old man who tells Jonas to call him the Giver.

The Giver transmits memories by placing his hands on Jonas’s bareback. The first memory he receives is of an exhilarating sled ride. As Jonas receives memories from the Giver—memories of pleasure and pain, of bright colors and extreme cold and warm sun, of excitement and terror and hunger and love—he realizes how bland and empty life in his community really is. The memories make Jonas’s life richer and more meaningful, and he wishes that he could give that richness and meaning to the people he loves. But in exchange for their peaceful existence, the people of Jonas’s community have lost the capacity to love him back or to feel deep passion about anything. Since they have never experienced real suffering, they also cannot appreciate the real joy of life, and the life of individual people seems less precious to them. In addition, no one in Jonas’s community has ever made a choice of his or her own. Jonas grows more and more frustrated with the members of his community, and the Giver, who has felt the same way for many years, encourages him. The two grow very close, like a grandfather and a grandchild might have in the days before Sameness, when family members stayed in contact long after their children were grown.

Meanwhile, Jonas is helping his family take care of a troubled newchild, Gabriel, who has trouble sleeping through the night at the Nurturing Center. Jonas helps the child to sleep by transmitting soothing memories to him every night, and he begins to develop a relationship with Gabriel that mirrors the family relationships he has experienced through the memories. When Gabriel is in danger of being released, the Giver reveals to Jonas that release is the same as death. Jonas' anger and terror at this discovery leads the Giver to assist Jonas in coming up with a plan to completely transform the village.The Giver tells Jonas about the girl who had been designated the new Receiver ten years before. She had been the Giver’s own daughter, but the sadness of some of the memories had been too much for her and she had asked to be released. When she died, all of the memories she had accumulated were released into the community, and the community members could not handle the sudden influx of emotion and sensation. The Giver and Jonas plan for Jonas to escape the community and to actually enter Elsewhere. Once he has done that, his larger supply of memories will disperse, and the Giver will help the community to come to terms with the new feelings and thoughts, changing the society forever.

However, Jonas is forced to leave earlier than planned when his father tells him that Gabriel will be released the next day. Desperate to save Gabriel, Jonas steals his father’s bicycle and a supply of food and sets off for Elsewhere. Gradually, he enters a landscape full of color, animals, and changing weather, but also hunger, danger, and exhaustion. Avoiding search planes, Jonas and Gabriel travel for a long time until heavy snow makes bike travel impossible. Half-frozen, but comforting Gabriel with memories of sunshine and friendship, Jonas mounts a high hill. There he finds a sled—the sled from his first transmitted memory—waiting for him at the top. Jonas and Gabriel experience a glorious downhill ride on the sled. Ahead of them, they see—or think they see—the twinkling lights of a friendly village at Christmas, and they hear music. Jonas is sure that someone is waiting for them there.

“You can’t blame someone if they honestly don’t understand that their reality isn’t the same as yours.”

This is one of my favorite international books because I learned that we should consider the story from the perspective of one another and determine which is the most appealing. I can relate to the book because this book portrays about four characters who take turns telling the story in first-person narratives. Deeper in the story, it will unfold how important knowing one’s perspective is because we don’t know how much we will affect the person. I can relate to the book because sometimes I am arrogant and ignorant if one’s idea is contrary to mine.

In Jodi Picoult's novel "Leaving Time," a daughter's love for her mother transcends even death. Serenity Jones believes she has lost her ability to communicate with spirits after Jenna Metcalf, thirteen, approaches her for assistance in locating her mother, Alice Metcalf. Alice vanished on the day another woman was assassinated on the grounds of the New England Elephant Sanctuary. Jenna is in disbelief that her mother would abandon her willingly. Her intuition proves correct as she, Serenity, and Virgil Stanhope, one of the cops who initially investigated the sanctuary incident, collaborate to unravel the mystery surrounding Jenna's past. The novel's plot takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of twists and turns as Jenna searches for answers.

Jenna begins her search for her missing mother by contacting a psychic. Although her mother was a scientist devoted to the study of elephant behavior, one of her journals contains a statement that even in science, a small portion of certain phenomena cannot be explained except through magic or the paranormal. Jenna has no idea that Serenity's career and reputation were tarnished years ago when she incorrectly predicted the return of a senator's kidnapped son. Since that time, Serenity has not heard from her spirit guides or anyone else in the spirit world. Serenity, on the other hand, has a dream about Jenna's mother and then a computer glitch that she interprets as a message from the other side indicating she needs to assist Jenna.

Meanwhile, Jenna contacts Virgil Stanhope, the washed-up, alcoholic private investigator who assisted in the initial investigation of her mother's death at the elephant sanctuary the night she vanished. Although Jenna is unaware, Virgil has been plagued by guilt over how he handled that case. Despite evidence of a murder, Virgil's commanding officer encouraged him to disregard the evidence because he was under pressure from the government to conceal the incident.

Together, the unlikely trio of investigators deciphers the mystery surrounding Alice's disappearance and discovers that, despite the fact that Alice fled the elephant sanctuary that night, it was Jenna who was missing. The novel explores themes of loss and abandonment, mental illness and the paranormal, as well as the helplessness that can result from self-doubt.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is a beautifully written coming-of-age tale of a young boy who, through the magic of a single book, finds a purpose greater than himself and a hero in a man he’s never met. The novel is an ode to books and the art of reading.  This is an example of a story where we cling to every word and can't wait to hear what happens next. It  perfectly combines elements of romance, mystery while also exploring many aspects of love.

This book is not typically the ideal book for a lot of students right now. For some, it is not interesting and quite boring to read. But, me as a Christian, I do love reading this book.

The Holy Bible speaks nothing but the truth. It is alive and keep on talking to me every time that I read it. God is the author of this book and He is the best author for me. He does not write only this book, but also the journey and destiny of every single of us. It talks about the promises that He assures to us up to this day. It only speaks for the truth.

Here, we can find all the types of genre that we want to read. Love stories, horror, dramatic, romantic, and many more. Truly that God is the greatest author, and I believe that He already written the path of my life.

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

# data[].attributes.body
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth novel in British author J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter fantasy series and continues the adventures of the young wizard and his classmates, who are now in their fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In Goblet of Fire, Harry is forced to compete in the Triwizard Tournament.

This novel was published in 2000 and is the only one in the series to have won a Hugo Award. To this point in the series, Harry has befriended fellow young wizards, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, protected the Philosopher's Stone from Lord Voldemort, fought the monster of the Chamber of Secrets, and escaped the murderous Sirius Black, who it turns out was framed and is Harry's godfather.

This book is pretty interesting to the reader that loves Harry Potter. Reading this book helps me recall the adventure of Harry Potter because I watched and read this when I was 12 years old so, I forgot some interesting parts that happened. Reading this novel helps me cope with this pandemic since I am not allowed to go outside. Also, the series of activities that I can do are limited due to this pandemic.

I would really recommend this book to readers who like adventure and fantasy.

Reading and learning the meaning of this novel have become my favorite experience when I was in grade 10. I love how Dr. Jose Rizal used symbolism to implicitly expose the wrongdoings of the Spaniards. I also love how each character played a significant role in every chapter especially at the end of the novel. I was amazed by the novel's plot and how it showed the Filipino people's lives back then. I am always a fan of historical events and this novel mirrored such events. I felt like I time-traveled to the past and witnessed how the story progressed with my own eyes.

This novel gave me new perspectives about life. One of which is about focusing on your goal. Similar to Basilio, I will do anything that I can to achieve my goals, whatever it takes. The most important wisdom I got in El Fili was about how our actions to other people could backfire on us (kung anong ginawa mo, babalik sa'yo.). This was symbolized by Simoun poisoning himself, just like what he did to his country. He manipulated and corrupted the minds of the government and the common people to achieve his plan. I was fascinated by this detail. El Fili never failed to teach its readers how the reality of life works.

In conclusion, reading this novel has made me feel like I was really a part of it. I felt like I was also a character who's experiencing the difficulties of life. El Fili taught me that having revenge would only make things worse. "Ang isang kasalanan ay hindi malilinis ng isa pang kasalanan." It also taught me that there is always hope, that time will come when everything would fall in their right places. El Fili taught me to keep on hoping and not give up. This novel has helped me to become who I am today. Although it has an open ending, El Fili gave sufficient proof of how bad decisions or actions could only bring you nothing but ugly consequences.

The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett

# data[].attributes.body
The story of “The Secret Garden”, primarily revolves around the life of a girl named Mary Lennox. She was a ten-year-old kid, who is known to be spoiled by her servants and neglected by her unloving parents. When her parents have passed away, she became an orphan and the challenges of her life has begun. In the story, I have witnessed how she managed to become a better version of herself, despite the challenges that she has experienced. It was very mesmerizing how Mary has managed to achieve her character development, owing to the fact that she has no parents to guide her and she was only a child back then.

One significant life lesson that I have gained in this story is that we do not have to let our past define our future. As mentioned above, she was abandoned by her parents and she became an orphan. Instead of doing rebellious things, she found a way on how she would cope up with the things she has been facing. While wandering around the place, she found a secret garden. She has no idea how a simple garden would turn her into a better version of herself. While roaming around the garden, Mary and her cousin had lovely transformations and the garden has started blooming. Her interaction with nature has paved the way for her beautiful transformation and this is one of the reasons why her uncle, has changed his outlook in life and started to value his family more than anything after witnessing the transformations that have occurred to his son. Appreciating the beauty of nature could pave the way in achieving something valuable and significant in our lives.

A novel with the ideal blend of romanticism and realism. Early in the work, a goal is established, leaving readers captivated by the plot with a 'will it or won't it' mentality. It is about what kind of life you want and people’s struggle to be in the ideal condition of worth living. Furthermore, because of the novel's raw subject matter, it has the potential to influence the audience's minds.

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

The most recent book that I have read and became the book that had the most influence on my life is titled "The Little Prince." It is a simple tale that follows a young prince as he travels across space, visiting numerous planets, including Earth, and explores themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Despite its appearance as a children's book, The Little Prince provides insights into life, adulthood, and human nature. The Little Prince's central theme is the importance of looking beneath the surface to discover the true meaning of a thing. The fox is the one who teaches the Prince to look with his heart rather than his eyes. Unfortunately, most adults struggle with this. At the start of the book, the narrator points out that adults can never see the true meaning of a drawing; instead, they look at the surface, neglecting to explore for a deeper meaning. Throughout the book, the author highlights the need to dig beneath the surface to find true beauty in even the most ordinary things. The star of the Little Prince becomes special and beautiful because it is home to his unique rose, made special by love. "What moves me so deeply about this Little Prince, who is sleeping here," the narrator says of the Little Prince's love: "What moves me so deeply about this Little Prince, who is sleeping here, is his loyalty to a flower — the image of a rose that shines through his whole being like a lamp flame, even when he is asleep." In the end, love is what gives meaning to everything. Man would be lost and alone in the desert without it, much like the narrator was before he met and befriended the Little Prince.

“I really do hope you find what you’re looking for, and I hope you find something new to look for after that, and I hope some part of you is always looking and that you discover that searching is something beautiful we all do.”
― Iain S. Thomas, Every Word You Cannot Say

This book holds an epic poem on conveying what people often struggle to express. The point of this book is to say a lot of things that people can't usually say like how you felt about this person or how you felt when someone shattered your heart and other kinds of situations that people encounter in life.

I was never a fan of history rather, as a young child I found it boring and always thought it was a waste of time to be memorizing thousands of dates and names of past events and people who don't even exist anymore. But 4 years ago, I realized how mistaken I was when I finally gave "I Love You Since 1892" a read. The now published book, originally an e-book from wattpad, was a hit back in 2017. A lot of my friends have read the book before recommending it to me as well. I didn't want to try it at first, as anything historical was not my cup-of-tea. But, the premise of the story where the protagonist from the modern world finds herself more than 200 years in the past to accomplish a mission left me fascinated enough to urge me to finally read it; to which I thank myself for everyday. It was the door that led me to a new world, I can't seem to stop myself from reading history books now, I get lost in them, picturing myself in the timelines the characters move and live in. Through this book, not only did I learn more about the beautiful and gruesome truths about Philippine history, but as well learned to value time, family, friends, and most especially myself. In this Romantic Historical Fiction, we join the protagonist in her journey through the 19th century — all the while, finding love, family, and herself — only to return home, losing nothing else, but the love of her life.

The Purpose Driven Life is a book that actually teaches how to improve spiritually by adhering to Christian principles. It tells people to see the world as a passing phase and to prepare for life in heaven, where they will be with God. We were created in the image of God and are designed to spread his love to others.

I always prefer movies to books since they are more real and easier to understand than reading. Since this book "Purpose Driven Life" offers a lot of ideas that aren't conventional, it's one of the few books I've read from start to the end. Every day that I read it, it presents me with new themes and ideas that I can practice on a daily basis. This book helped me restore my perspective and life when I was in my darkest moments and nearly lost track; it reminded me of the actual reason why I should keep going and be excited about my journey and relationships with my loved ones, especially with God. The book contains many scenarios and quotations that show us how to respond to our circumstances and conquer whatever fears we may have, to be courageous, and to have faith in ourselves, especially in God, who is the author of everything.

"Following them is the choice I made because I'm afraid to make mistakes. And I didn't know that by obeying them will make me blind, not literally tho, I don't know where to go. I'm lost."

Wake Up Dreamers – from the title itself, you could assume that this story will inspire you to achieve your dreams. It is a story revolving around five different people and their journey in overcoming their fears and achieving their dreams. Molly Lazuli is a college student taking up an Engineering degree, but her dream is to become a writer. Her parents do not support her because they think that writing will not bring her success in life. John Garnet Sucgang is an Architecture student who loves to paint. Behind the colorful artworks he creates, lies the colorless life he has. He does not know what he wants for his life because he grew up following his father’s decision. Jasper Tupas is a gay actor and a poet. He came from a family of Christians and grew up speaking gospels and singing praise to the Lord every Sunday in their home. Living from this kind of set-up, he cannot tell his father about his true identity because of the fear of judgment from his family and community. Alexandrite Montes is also a college student taking up a Bachelor of Accountancy course. She once dreamed of becoming a famous musician and pursuing the music industry, but life has tested her passion, and everything in her life turned upside down. Now, all she wants is to be rich and help her mother. Lastly, the mastermind behind their rollercoaster journey is Cole Manzano. He is a photographer, and he convinces them to team up with him on creating a major project for their finals.

'Be yourself', they say but they will mock you, judge you and criticize your ways. Society is full of hypocrites. Well, we don't care.

Reading their stories made me feel I am with them in their journey of discovering and achieving their dreams in life. I somehow relate to their personalities, struggles, doubts, and disappointments. They made me realize how society impacted our lives in positive and negative ways. They made me realize how family can affect our passion in achieving what we want in our life. Their experiences taught me how a person be broken multiple times but still choose to continue living. Life is not a straight path; we may encounter a zigzag or curve pathway in our lives, and that is okay. Being lost or not knowing what we want in life is not the end of our story. We can always take a step back and appreciate what we have now. We can enjoy our moments with our friends while discovering ourselves. We should not let other people's opinions or perceptions define who we truly are.

"You're so scared of failure
You're so scared to fail
That you fear to live true."

After reading this story, I hope that in my journey, I can also meet my own Cole Manzano, who will make me realize that life is worth living and our dreams are worth achieving. I am still left dumbfounded and hurt by the plot twist of the story, but I guess that's the reality of life. People who taught us the significant lesson in our life cannot stay with us throughout our journey.

To the person reading this; Wake up, Dreamers, there is still a lifetime waiting for us.

I haven't finished this book yet, but it has taught me certain secrets that may bring me good fortune. It demonstrated not just what to do, but also how to do it. It assisted me in realizing that if you learn and apply the simple, fundamental strategies revealed here, you will have learned the secret to true and enduring success. Most importantly, this book is excellent for overachievers because it teaches that while money and worldly possessions are necessary for freedom, the best of all riches are loving family relationships, lasting friendships, and introspective harmony, all of which provide true peace of mind.

I haven't read a book in a long time because I've been preoccupied with schoolwork. However, I recently reread AFGITMOLFM. AFGITMOLFM was one of my first purchases. It piqued my interest because I was curious about the meaning of AFGITMOLFM. When I read the brief description of the book, I became more interested and purchased it. The emotions I felt while re-reading the book were the same as they were when I first read it.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice, with a dash of silliness and craziness; this explains the love of Ianne and Nate. The only thing missing from their love story is the phrase, "...and they lived happily ever after." However, there is a hidden secret in their "fairy tale" relationship. Love. Selfishness. Surprise. Mistake. In this book, I learned about the impact these four words would have on their lives. I also discovered who the emotionless guy is and why his expressionless face appears to steal all of the world's happy memories. Finally, I figured out what AFGITMOLFM stands for.

While re-reading the book, I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. The book is enjoyable to read!

For a novella written almost a century ago, the emotions that Schoolgirl brings through Dazai's unnamed narrator and main character still feel as fresh as something that may have been written a few years or decades back.

The readers are taken through a one-day journey in the life of our protagonist—a girl in her youth during the time of the second world war. We are exposed to the thoughts of the girl from the moment she gets up from bed and readies herself, mostly her mind and emotions, for another unbearable day until the last things on her mind before she returns to bed to experience something which may or may not be considered as sleep.

Falling asleep is such a strange feeling. It's like a carp or an eel is tugging on a fishing line, or something heavy like a lead weight is pulling on the line that I'm holding with my head, and as I doze off to sleep, the line slackens up a bit. When that happens, it startles me back to awareness. Then it pulls me again. I doze off to sleep. The line loosens a bit again. This goes on three or four times, and then, with the first really big tug, this time it lasts until morning.

One could easily point out the juxtaposition of the main character's thoughts towards her feelings about herself and the people around her. Her obvious self-loathing is seen as a recurring theme in Dazai's written protagonists. But compared to his characters in his works such as The Setting Sun and No Longer Human whose stories were more fleshed out in their more mature years, the youthfulness of the girl can also be felt in her statements towards herself—still immature, conflicted and confused as to how to handle these feelings of hers. Sometimes full of confidence, but the next second guilty of saying such words to herself.

Feeling strangely embarrassed and happy, I got up and hastily folded up my bedding. As I hoisted it, I was startled to hear myself exclaim, Alley-oop! I have never thought that I was the kind of girl who would utter such an unrefined expression as "Alley-oop." It seems like the kind of thing an old lady would shout—"Alley-oop!" It's disgusting. Why would I have said such a thing?

... but anyway I wanted to walk along with the nice umbrella that Mother gave to me yesterday, so I took it with me. Mother used this parasol long ago, when she first got married. I felt quite proud for finding this interesting umbrella. When I carried this one, it made me feel like strolling through the streets of Paris... In reality, it was just an odd, tattered umbrella with a spindly handle. I really am miserable and pathetic. Like the little match girl.

What's interesting about the character is that, though she calls herself a pessimist, she still yearns for good and genuine things. At the same time, there is a part in her that hates how she seeks these things knowing that it would never come to her. She embodies both the feeling of reaching out to a ray of hope, and wanting to kill the fire of a lit match before it could possibly harm despite the beauty of the flame it brings.

I  want to live beautifully.

Tomorrow will probably be another day like today. Happiness will never come my way. I know that. But it's probably best to go to sleep believing that it will surely come, tomorrow it will come.

Other things I loved about the story is the sharp observation of the protagonist of her surroundings, as well as how it mentioned several themes in the society such as patriotism (relevance to the ongoing world war), gender identity, cultural expectations, and the stigma towards depression and suicide by society.

Personally, I enjoyed this story more compared to No Longer Human and The Setting Sun, probably because I found it more relatable and an easier read compared to those mentioned above. Overall, I could say that people could find an odd comfort in reading this work— a comfort that may come to a person who deeply resonates with the emotions and experiences of the main character in this story.

One of my favorite lines in the story because of how beautiful she described the sunset:

Father, the sunset afterglow is beautiful. And the evening haze is pink. See how the rays from the setting sun melt and blur into the haze, which is why it takes on such a soft pink glow. The pink haze drifts and sways amongst the grove of trees, trailing above the road and caressing the meadow, before gently enveloping my body. It infuses every last strand of my hair with its soft pink light and then lightly embraces me. But this sky is even more beautiful. For the first time in my life, I want to bow my head to the heavens. Now I believe in God. The color of this sky, what would you call it? Rose? Flame? Iridescent? The color of angel's wings? Or a huge temple? No, it is none of these things. It is much more sublime.

I like this book because it centers around dragons and magic. I like the characters as well since even after misunderstanding strikes, they still have faith in each other. The dragons have interesting powers that is fitting for the fantasy genre. The ending ends with the conflict being resolved in a way that everyone can be happy with. This is the third book out of the series so there is still a lot more adventures to unfold and secrets to discover.

"Purpose Driven Life" was the book I chose to read and it teaches me the value and purpose of my life. With the help of the words in this book, I learned more about God and how he has a plan for people and a purpose in our life. It opened my eyes to the idea that life would be meaningless without God, and life would be pointless without purpose. My life's purpose is not solely dependent on money or material wealth. I also know that there is a purpose in this life for me as well, and I will enjoy and choose happiness for myself, as well as be a good example to those younger than me or anybody else.

I decided to Live as Me  || Words & Illustrations by Soo Hyun Kim

# data[].attributes.body
To be honest, this is my first time reading a self-help book, and I was taken aback by how blunt and direct this book was as I read the first few pages. With that let me show you the synopsis on what to expect in reading this book:

The real, hot advice to live as yourself! The solid consolation for those of you who are adults for the first time!
Kim Soo Hyun opens the book by saying, “When I became an adult, I realized the world is a cold place.” It was full of irrationality, everyone drew excessive lines toward each other, and even the plain enjoyed discrimination and scorn when given the chance. In a capitalist society, we were all strictly becoming those who gave and those who received. That is the world we are struggling to live in.
This book tells us what we need to live sincerely as ‘me’. It tells you that you don’t need to feel bad after looking at some rich person’s SNS, that you don’t need to make excuses to yourself, and that you don’t need to be understood by everyone. There’s no need to work hard just because you are uneasy, and it supports you by saying not to bend down to the ‘right answer’ that the world gives. It tells you not to be hurt by the people that go by in life, not to be shaken by someone’s words, and now to mistake something for a problem that’s only yours. It tells us what we need to hear the most: to live as yourself.
This book gifts time to reflect to people who do not even have time to think about who they are. It contains what you must think and ponder about not to live like someone else, but to truly live like yourself. It is a book necessary for those who are wandering, adult-children who want to find themselves, and to everyone who are tired from working and being adults.

Title: Beauty and the Beast

Reflection:

Fairytales like Beauty and the Beast have been my all time favorite story to read. This is a story of a great portrayal of finding the inner self, voice and strength. This story gives a moral which everyone can relate to. Through this story, I've realized that inner beauty or characteristic such as kindness is more important over the physical looks or appearance of a person. In reality, some of us judge people too early even though we haven't known them yet. Beauty and the Beast made me learned not to be judgemental to people instead be kind to them and treat them with respect.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB
Reflection
This story mainly evoked some thoughts in my mind - friendship, resilience, and new life.When the old sheep in the barn cellar tells Wilbur that he is going to be killed and eaten at Christmas, he turns to Charlotte for help. Charlotte has the idea of writing words in her web showcasing Wilbur's excellence ("some pig", "terrific", "radiant", and eventually "humble"), reasoning that if she can make Wilbur sufficiently famous, he will not be killed. Thanks to Charlotte's efforts, and with the assistance of the gluttonous rat Templeton, Wilbur gets to live on. However, as the time goes by, Charlotte grew old and could almost not spin. However, to allow Wilbur to win a competition, she eventually drew her last web to form more words which eventually took her life away. This not only shows the power of friendship but also persistence as Charlotte persevered with the last of her web to enable her friend from being slaughtered.

Wilbur repays Charlotte by bringing home with him the sac of eggs she had laid at the fair before dying. This also shows that friends help each other when in need too. When Charlotte's eggs hatch at Zuckerman's farm, most of them leave to make their own lives elsewhere, except for three: Joy, Aranea, and Nellie, who remain there as friends to Wilbur. These 3 new spiders, had characteristics similar to that of Charlotte. Hence, the cycle of friendship continues. This touching story about 2 friends made me realise that life is short and that to live a meaningful one, one cannot do without friends. For true friends will do anything to save each other from danger.

"Might Still Work, Who Knows?" Essay is about students procrastinating and cramming, having sleepless nights and struggles of a student. This made me realize that I'm not the only one who is cramming but all of us. This essay also helped me because it gave me some tips and good study habits that I can use in my online schooling. But not all study habits and tips may work for me because we have all different styles to keep up. We can also create our own study habits so that we our comfortable with it. Making planners and schedules are very helpful to me so I won't missed any task. I know that through my determination and patience, I can reach my goals in life and cope with school in this time of pandemic.

I started reading the book entitled, “The Eureka Moment! Marie Curie and Radioactivity”. This book consists of 6 chapters. The story is about Maria Salomea Sklodowska also known as Marie Curie/Manya. She was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867. Her father, Vladislav Sklodowski, was a professor who taught physics and mathematics. While her mother, Bronislawa Sklodowski was the headmistress of a girl’s school. When Manya was ten years old her mother died from tuberculosis. Then three years later her older sister, Sophie, died from a disease called typhus.

Both Marie Curie and her sister, Bronya planned to study outside of Poland because girls couldn’t go any further school in their place. These two sisters had many struggles and difficulties experienced but these not stopped them to reach for their goals….Sorry, story to be continued...

I have read plenty of books during the pandemic,but one of them stood out to me the most,and that was Krystal Sutherland's "A SEMI-DEFINITIVE LIST OF QORST NIGHTMARES".It is definitely one of my favorite books.This book tackles sensitive topics such as dealing with anxiety and depression,along with facing your fears and learning to accept help when you need it the most.I find this book relatable and I highly recommend binge reading it on the weekends!Here is the summary;

" Ever since Esther Solar’s grandfather met Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime.The Solars are consumed by their fears,and according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.

Esther doesn’t know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces and crowds are all off-limits,so are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen other phobias she keeps a record of in her semi-definitive list of worst nightmares.

Then Esther is pickpocketed by Jonah Smallwood,an old elementary school classmate(and past crush),but despite the theft,Esther and Jonah become friends,and he sets a challenge for them: in an effort to break the curse that has crippled her family,they will meet every Sunday of senior year to work their way through the list, facing one terrifying fear at a time, including one that Esther hadn’t counted on: love.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares 

# data[].attributes.body
“The truth is there's a little bit of loser in all of us. Being happy isn't having everything in your life to be perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things; making those counts for more than the bad stuff. Maybe we just get through it and that's all we can ask for.” It is a common knowledge that we can't always have what we want and the things that we want might not be the ones that will eventually bring us happiness. Sometimes it's the little things that will count the most- we must be contented on what we have and enjoy them while they last. These are just some of the lessons that we could acquire from reading the said book since it mainly talks about the friendship of four teenagers that used to do everything together but had to separate when summertime comes yet it didn't hinder them to stay friends or stay in touch even though they're far from one another since they are bonded together by mutual caring and obviously a pair of pants. I don't usually read the book after watching a particular movie because I'll have nothing more to imagine but I just got curious after watching the movie, if I've missed out on something since that's usually how most of adaptation goes.

"Makulit si Totoy"
This story has a great lesson to be learned. It's about a young boy named Totoy who loved playing in the rain and flood. But Totoy is kind, and he is also helpful. But there were only two things he always disobeyed his mother's sermon — drenching in the rain and playing in the flood. That's why his mother said that when he sees Totoy playing in the rain and flood again, he won't be allowed to go to school. His mother knows that he doesn't want to miss class because he loves to study. The next day, Totoy entered the class and their lesson was about leptospirosis. Their teacher says it is a disease caused by rat urine. His teacher also said that it could kill. ''That is why we should not play in the flood, especially if there is a wound in the leg or foot'', the teacher added. Saturday, it rained very hard. When the rain stopped, many children played in the flood. One of Totoy's friend invited him to play in the flood. Totoy envied them so he played with them. Later, he stepped on a broken glass and they were shocked. After ten days, Totoy had a fever, so his parents took him to the hospital. And then they found out that a leptospira bacteria had entered his wound. A few days later, Totoy was cured. A lot of money was spent before Totoy finally recovered, and he was ashamed of his parents. Therefore, Totoy learned something. First, we should not disobey the parent, second, we should not play in the flood.

In this world people were separated in to two categories, Insiders who were fortunate enough to be inside the Walls when it arose and Outsiders who were unfortunate to be outside the Walls when it arose. Outsiders don't have the walls to protect them unlike the Insiders but due to an evolution Outsiders have developed supernatural capabilities in which they use to defend themselves against the world of mayhem they live in. But Insiders took the Outsiders developing supernatural capabilities as a huge threat to the point they have decided to exterminate the Outsiders.

A Reflection to "Might Still Work, Who Knows?"

In this digital age, the way we read has become different from the classic way. Survey says that reading is still the same regardless of the medium used in doing so. Reading with the use of gadgets still gives the same benefits. However, my parents believe that using the screen instead of the printout in reading distracts us, more so with the younger ones. The interactive features of the digital platform distract the attention of the reader from the textual content, thus lowers comprehension. What is worse, if not guarded, who knows if what we do in the internet is still reading or not?

So as a precaution, we need to do is to lessen our screen time and little by little, without imposing reading in printout, we try to look into the its benefits. We can still read on screen, the benefits might still work although not exactly the same. But let us take advantage of what it can do to us through printout such as improving our analytical skills, focus and concentration and expanding our knowledge and vocabulary.

Essay reflection

In this essay, I learnt the many techniques and tactics used by students in studying. I learnt how much notes can help you memorize things. I have also learnt the 10-5-30-5-20 technique in studying. I also learnt that reading may help expand your vocabulary and increase your knowledge. In conclusion, this essay gave me very good insights and I will definitely use these techniques next time.

"Vivid" is a wattpad story written by "MonochromeBlue".

In this story the world was ruled by mayhem due to an event called the "Disaster" which caused "Miasma Storms" that brought existence to human destroying beasts called "Miasmic Beasts".During the Disaster large pillars arose which were later called the "Walls"that was called humanity's last hope for survival. In this world people were separated in to two categories, Insiders who were fortunate enough to be inside the Walls when it arose and Outsiders who were unfortunate to be outside the Walls when it arose. Outsiders don't have the walls to protect them unlike the Insiders but due to an evolution Outsiders have developed supernatural capabilities in which they use to defend themselves against the world of mayhem they live in. But Insiders took the Outsiders developing supernatural capabilities as a huge threat to the point they have decided to exterminate the Outsiders.

Kae is our young male protagonist who is an Outsider but unlike others he hasn't developed his own power.
He also has three siblings.
An older brother named Cody, a younger sister named Ann and his youngest brother named Markus.

The story I chose is called 'Passerine' found on Archive of Our Own, also known as the website AO3. The author of this virtual book is Kyle, who goes by blujamas
or theseus (spelt thcscus). It has a good story and it's well-written too, I definitely suggest reading the whole thing! It even has an animation made by the infamous
SAD-ist, and it's worth checking out.

Passerine is based on a bunch of content creators' characters who play block games for a living, focusing on a group of four friends called Sleepy Boys Inc.
It consists of 7 chapters with about 10k words each, which is a lot, so I summarized it for you.

And with that, let's begin!

In the beginning, we meet a character named Technoblade, an immortal who couldn't remember his family since it's been so long. And now he only had fought countless
wars and fights. His victims run and hide and even makes efforts like building walls, but it was all pointless for Technoblade always found them. He envied them,
he envied the ones who welcomed death with open arms.

The voices in his head led him to the kingdoms and villages, forcing him to raise his sword and kill. The voices demanded blood.

Soon, he meets the Angel of Death.
He's one of the few people who matched Technoblade's reputation. He heard that he has obsidian wings, and once massacred an entire nation by himself, that even
the Green God is afraid of him. He imagined a ruthless immortal who was like him, but instead was met with a kind personality. Philza was the name of the angel.

They bonded together, training with eachother and going on adventures, and even fighting wars together. Until one day, Philza left him on his own, not knowing if
he'll come back or not. Soon enough, the voices got tired, and so Technoblade ventured on without Phil.

Technoblade finds a kingdom, untouched by the wars, a kingdom that was always at peace. One of the gate guards greeted him, "Hello, stranger! You sightseeing?"
Technoblade was caught off guard by the cheerful tone, but he and the guard entered the castle anyway. He walked down the hall and found a family portrait.
Oh, he thought. That's why. The one keeping the kingdom protected wasn't its hubris, it was their king.

"Wilby!" A child's voice rang down the hall, Technoblade found himself facing the brown eyed child in the painting. "Wilby! Wait for me!" Another child appears,
the one with golden hair. The two boys interrogated the immortal warrior, until a figure walks near.

"Technoblade?" It was Philza, the king of the kingdom. While the brother's bickered as their father ordered them to play outside, The king invited Techno to walk.
They reached a balcony overlooking the garden where Wilbur, the brown-eyed kid and Tommy, the golden-haired one were playing. They talked about how immortals aren't
supposed to stay in one place for a long period of time. But Philza was too attached to the kingdom to leave. Philza mentioned that Wilbur had voices, and he's afraid.
Afraid that Wilbur will become something like Techno, a killing machine. Technoblade argued with Phil, who wanted help from the blood god. Technoblade was still bitter
with Phil leaving him behind.

So Philza kneeled. Kneeled to the blood god. He apologized and begged him to help his son.

And so, Technoblade did.

Technoblade trained Wilbur, Tommy wanting to join in, but everyone deciding it was too dangerous for the gold-haired boy. Technoblade was obviously better at combat
than Wilbur, the younger was covered in scratches and bruises, but was determined to train for whatever reason anyway. The training carried on for months, Wilbur was
improving.

When Tommy asked to be trained like his brother again, Techno declined, again. But this time, Tommy wails. Both Wilbur and Techno try to hush him, but Tommy kept
crying.
"What will it take for you to shut up? I'll do anything at this point." Technoblade said, then the blond boy immediately stopped crying. Wilbur looked at Techno in
horror.

Tommy asked if he could braid Techno's long pink hair, which wasn't a bad punishment compared to Wilbur's usual ones. Tommy covered it in yellow roses, Tommy's
favorite flower, and other kinds of pretty flowers. until they saw two figures in the distance. Philza and the Queen, whose weight was being supported by Phil,
she could barely seem to stand. The two brothers quickly rushed to them,
Technoblade followed.

At night, Wilbur was awakened to Technoblade bursting his door open and rushed them to his parents' room. His mother.
His mother was on the bed, she wasn't breathing. Tommy was at the side of the bed beside her mother crying, and Phil was nowhere to be seen. Wilbur broke down and
had a panic attack before Technoblade calmed him and showed him a note that Phil left, saying that he's sorry and that Wilbur will be a better king than Phil ever was.

In between one breath and the next, Wilbur was king.

In between one breath and the next, they were in war, everyone was older. And they were losing, even with Technoblade by their side. Because the war god was fighting him.

A horn was blown, then two female warriors went into two separate mountains. Then, in the blink of an eye, both pieces of land exploded and landing on the armies,
ally or not, they were crushed. It was their only chance. Tommy didn't like that. But then, Philza appeared, flying down onto the rubble of the mountains. Tommy rushed
to see him

Until, a dagger was thrown into his chest, a final revenge from the War God. Technoblade, The blood god, now felt what it's like to lose someone important. Wilbur
carried Tommy in his arms, grieving. Tommy wanted to hear Wilbur and Techno play their instruments again, Wilbur kept that promise, even if the yellow rose-haired boy
wasn't there anymore.

That's all for the summary, there's so much more to be said, but its definitely more worth it to read the whole story on its own!
Thank you for listening.

The book “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu is my favorite reading book(separate from story book I submitted). It is a sociopolitical philosophy book about military tactics and strategies. It is said that many business plans and tactics are modeled around this philosophy, not just in the military realm. In this book I learned many things and stratagems. It gave me many good insights and knowledge. Although I may not use this for the intended purpose, the lessons contained in this book will do me good for the rest of my life.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB
Reflection
This story mainly evoked some thoughts in my mind - friendship, resilience, and new life.When the old sheep in the barn cellar tells Wilbur that he is going to be killed and eaten at Christmas, he turns to Charlotte for help. Charlotte has the idea of writing words in her web showcasing Wilbur's excellence ("some pig", "terrific", "radiant", and eventually "humble"), reasoning that if she can make Wilbur sufficiently famous, he will not be killed. Thanks to Charlotte's efforts, and with the assistance of the gluttonous rat Templeton, Wilbur gets to live on. However, as the time goes by, Charlotte grew old and could almost not spin. However, to allow Wilbur to win a competition, she eventually drew her last web to form more words which eventually took her life away. This not only shows the power of friendship but also persistence as Charlotte persevered with the last of her web to enable her friend from being slaughtered.

Wilbur repays Charlotte by bringing home with him the sac of eggs she had laid at the fair before dying. This also shows that friends help each other when in need too. When Charlotte's eggs hatch at Zuckerman's farm, most of them leave to make their own lives elsewhere, except for three: Joy, Aranea, and Nellie, who remain there as friends to Wilbur. These 3 new spiders, had characteristics similar to that of Charlotte. Hence, the cycle of friendship continues. This touching story about 2 friends made me realise that life is short and that to live a meaningful one, one cannot do without friends. For true friends will do anything to save each other from danger.

I run upstairs and see Mommy sitting on her bed, holding a silver thing in her right had.
"Mommy, what's that?" I ask.
"This," Mommy points to the thing, "is what I was going to use to kill you but I can't do it. It's all your fault but I can't kill you. Because of you your father pays no attention to me. Always being Daddy's little princess. I wanted to kill you for some time now but I can't do it. You're just a child. So before I kill myself I want to tell you that," Mommy points the silver object to her head, "I'm not your mother." Mommy squeezes the thing and with a loud bang, she falls to the floor.
Until my sixteenth birthday when he was so drunk that he didn't care if I was his daughter. On my sixteenth birthday, I was r***d by my father. That day I actually had doubts that we were related. What kind of father would do that to their daughter, no matter how much he hates her?
My gray blue eyes looking as dull as ever. My skin is white pale due to lack of food. I have curves in the right places and a big chest but I hide my body under big pullovers.
I have a tattoo on the inside of my right wrist. It says 'Don't Give Up On Life, Stay Strong You're Not Alone' shaped as an infinity sign. When I got it, I still believed that my life would change or that someone would safe me from the nightmare called my life.

Even from the beginning of your childhood you should be strong like Anallely, she faced it all even though she was just a little girl. When she grew up, she realized that her mother when she was a child was jealous and angry with her, Anallely had a traumatic and sad childhood. And it was the day of his birthday, even though it was his birthday he did not experience happiness, and he was even raped by his father because of being drunk.
What I have learned/what is the moral lesson that I'd noticed is not to give up on any trial, even if it is difficult and challenging, you still have to face it because you will also overcome it because of perseverance and endurance.

"Little Women" My relfection in this story is No matter how hard it may be, try to forgive. Some offenses may seem unforgivable, but refusing to accept a sincere apology usually leads to nothing but more suffering, accept them and forgive them. “Giving is a greater joy than receiving”, not only do the sisters get frequent reminders of their relatively good fortune, they also find it’s better to focus on helping others. ‘”Family should come first,” Little Women should remind us that, if we’re lucky enough to have loving families, we should appreciate and care for them as long they’re still here. Family is our greatest Treasurer that stay with us until forever. As an end to my reflection “You can handle whatever life throws at you as long as you try”.For those times when you're facing a challenge that no matter what is going on, you have the ability to face it, deal with it, move past it, learn from it and evolve further into your full potential because of it.

This book is one of first books that I truly liked even today. The story is fun and kind of funny to me. I read this book back when I was around Grade 7 and I have some of the books of the series, but not the entire collection. I currently keep it in a stack with the parts of the book. I will recommend this book if someone asks me what book should I recommend.

It was like any other ordinary Halloween night for Cole and His friends, until they ended up being kidnapped and taken to a different world called "The Outskirts". Unfortunately for Cole, he was separated from his friends and was sold to the Sky Raiders. A group of people who enter floating castles to scourge for valuables. It sounds fun, but most slaves don’t survive for more than two weeks. With his wit and courage, he manages to escape in dangerous situations and somehow get involved with forces far beyond him.

It was one of the books where I don’t really hold any high expectations at the start, but became memorable to me as I grew older. I really like the main character, Cole, he’s a simple boy who uses everything to his advantage in order to survive in an unfamiliar world. He is also not afraid to take risks to escape precarious situations. Another part that I like about him is his loyalty, his dedication to helping his friends despite the dangers is really admirable and this doesn’t change in the next four books. I don’t live in a world where I have to jump castles for survival, but the way Cole handles situations inspires me to take opportunities and face my problems, no matter how big.

I am currently reading this book entitled “The Chaos Theory and Love’s Multiverses” by Anj CP. It is an anthology of love poems that takes us into the realms of mushy stuff while tripping us back to the black holes and different dimensions of the sometimes complicated but wondrous world of LOVE.

As I read the first few pages, I begin to develop this sudden feeling of curiosity how the author came up with the title that I realized I need to google search what Chaos and Multiverses Theory is all about. The poems, though, are exciting especially for girls at my age. Imagination comes in and I begin to think how thrilling it would be if we get to experience our expectations even in just one of the universe among the multiple universes that exist.  No heartbreaks, no disappointments, no chaos.

I highly recommend this book!

The only thing you have that nobody else has is control of your life. You job, your day, your heart, your spirit. You are the only one in control of that.
“Show up. Listen. Try to laugh.”
“You cannot be really good at your work if your work is all you are.”
“Get a life, a real life. Not a manic pursuit of the next promotion.”
“Turn off your cell phone. Keep still. Be present.”
“Get a life in which you are generous.”
“All of us want to do well, but if we do not do good too then doing well will never be enough.”
“Knowledge of our own mortality is the greatest gift God gives us.” It is so easy to exist rather than to live… Unless you know a clock is ticking.
We live in more luxury today than ever before. The things we have today our ancestors thought existed for just the wealthy. And yet, somehow, we are rarely grateful for all this wealth.
The hardest thing of all is to learn to love the journey, not the destination.

The main lesson in the story is that you should not judge people based on appearances. By this I mean what people look like but also their actions. Sometimes people have secrets that you just do not expect. Harry thought that Snape was out to get him because he treated him unfairly and he seemed odd. Harry taught us to never give up. He destroyed the horcrux within himself, and then came back from the dead to kill Voldemort. Harry endured so much in the series, and he persevered through all of it. He showed us that you can push through even the hardest times, bounce back and succeed.

“The space between your heart and mine, is the space we’ll find with time”

This was the first story I'd read since downloading a reading app. I found this story by chance because my phone was lagging at that moment, and I'm not sure what happened to make that story already exist in my library. It was a disaster, but it's one of my favorite disasters.

This story taught me many things, not just about life but also about literature and film. I fell in love with those things because of this. It's not your standard stereotypical love story; instead of overblown romance, it's more realistic. It's about two people who were brought together by a children's bedtime story called "Twenty Four," which is about the letters A and Z in the alphabet. This tale will provide you with a wealth of information and motivation as you embark on your own path as a student, professional, and individual.

The book is all about knowing ourselves and it begins with knowing God. Our Life is like a big puzzle that no one can ever complete. This book told me that all of us, all of the people were created by God. Everyone has their own uniqueness and purpose that only we can only discover if we first know God and let him be the center of our lives.

This book will speak to us how God will manage to change our lives and help us know the 3 meanings and our purpose in life.

"Most of the time, happiness means being there. Being together. That's what matters the most."

This is one of the books that I treasured the most. The lessons in the novel are very timely and relevant. It helped me go through the times where I felt so lost and alone. The story also shows that even how toxic you are in the past, it is never too late to change and make yourself a better person. It teaches us to forgive and love unconditionally. It had opened my mind that love is not just about happiness but also the other way around.

In a series of letters, Robert Walton, the captain of a ship bound for the North Pole, recounts to his sister back in England the progress of his dangerous mission. Successful early on, the mission is soon interrupted by seas full of impassable ice. Trapped, Walton encounters Victor Frankenstein, who has been traveling by dog-drawn sledge across the ice and is weakened by the cold. Walton takes him aboard ship, helps nurse him back to health, and hears the fantastic tale of the monster that Frankenstein created.

Victor first describes his early life in Geneva. At the end of a blissful childhood spent in the company of Elizabeth Lavenza (his cousin in the 1818 edition, his adopted sister in the 1831 edition) and friend Henry Clerval, Victor enters the university of Ingolstadt to study natural philosophy and chemistry. There, he is consumed by the desire to discover the secret of life and, after several years of research, becomes convinced that he has found it.

Armed with the knowledge he has long been seeking, Victor spends months feverishly fashioning a creature out of old body parts. One climactic night, in the secrecy of his apartment, he brings his creation to life. When he looks at the monstrosity that he has created, however, the sight horrifies him. After a fitful night of sleep, interrupted by the specter of the monster looming over him, he runs into the streets, eventually wandering in remorse. Victor runs into Henry, who has come to study at the university, and he takes his friend back to his apartment. Though the monster is gone, Victor falls into a feverish illness.

Sickened by his horrific deed, Victor prepares to return to Geneva, to his family, and to health. Just before departing Ingolstadt, however, he receives a letter from his father informing him that his youngest brother, William, has been murdered. Grief-stricken, Victor hurries home. While passing through the woods where William was strangled, he catches sight of the monster and becomes convinced that the monster is his brother’s murderer. Arriving in Geneva, Victor finds that Justine Moritz, a kind, gentle girl who had been adopted by the Frankenstein household, has been accused. She is tried, condemned, and executed, despite her assertions of innocence. Victor grows despondent, guilty with the knowledge that the monster he has created bears responsibility for the death of two innocent loved ones.

Hoping to ease his grief, Victor takes a vacation to the mountains. While he is alone one day, crossing an enormous glacier, the monster approaches him. The monster admits to the murder of William but begs for understanding. Lonely, shunned, and forlorn, he says that he struck out at William in a desperate attempt to injure Victor, his cruel creator. The monster begs Victor to create a mate for him, a monster equally grotesque to serve as his sole companion.

Victor refuses at first, horrified by the prospect of creating a second monster. The monster is eloquent and persuasive, however, and he eventually convinces Victor. After returning to Geneva, Victor heads for England, accompanied by Henry, to gather information for the creation of a female monster. Leaving Henry in Scotland, he secludes himself on a desolate island in the Orkneys and works reluctantly at repeating his first success. One night, struck by doubts about the morality of his actions, Victor glances out the window to see the monster glaring in at him with a frightening grin. Horrified by the possible consequences of his work, Victor destroys his new creation. The monster, enraged, vows revenge, swearing that he will be with Victor on Victor’s wedding night.

Later that night, Victor takes a boat out onto a lake and dumps the remains of the second creature in the water. The wind picks up and prevents him from returning to the island. In the morning, he finds himself ashore near an unknown town. Upon landing, he is arrested and informed that he will be tried for a murder discovered the previous night. Victor denies any knowledge of the murder, but when shown the body, he is shocked to behold his friend Henry Clerval, with the mark of the monster’s fingers on his neck. Victor falls ill, raving and feverish, and is kept in prison until his recovery, after which he is acquitted of the crime.

Shortly after returning to Geneva with his father, Victor marries Elizabeth. He fears the monster’s warning and suspects that he will be murdered on his wedding night. To be cautious, he sends Elizabeth away to wait for him. While he awaits the monster, he hears Elizabeth scream and realizes that the monster had been hinting at killing his new bride, not himself. Victor returns home to his father, who dies of grief a short time later. Victor vows to devote the rest of his life to finding the monster and exacting his revenge, and he soon departs to begin his quest.

Victor tracks the monster ever northward into the ice. In a dogsled chase, Victor almost catches up with the monster, but the sea beneath them swells and the ice breaks, leaving an unbridgeable gap between them. At this point, Walton encounters Victor, and the narrative catches up to the time of Walton’s fourth letter to his sister.

Walton tells the remainder of the story in another series of letters to his sister. Victor, already ill when the two men meet, worsens and dies shortly thereafter. When Walton returns, several days later, to the room in which the body lies, he is startled to see the monster weeping over Victor. The monster tells Walton of his immense solitude, suffering, hatred, and remorse. He asserts that now that his creator has died, he too can end his suffering. The monster then departs for the northernmost ice to die.

“You're like a grey sky. You're beautiful, even though you don't want to be.”

This book is one of my favorites! This is the 1st book I've read that includes suicide as one of its subgenre. It's rare to see books which treats suicide as a mystery before it happens. It isn't a book that romanticizes suicide or finds ethereal beauty in grief. There's much more to it.

It's all about 16-year-old Aysel Seran who is deeply depressed about a family incident she doesn't want to remember, a tragedy that's left her a pariah in her small Kentucky town, and sent her to live with her divorced mother Melda and Melda's newer husband and children. Aysel spends her time on a website where would-be suicides can find partners, bolster each other through doubts and hesitations, and die together.

There, she meets a boy named Roman, writing under the handle FrozenRobot. They meet and make initial plans to die together — but for Aysel, just meeting someone else who listens and can relate to her leavens her feelings of grief and isolation. Before long, she's reconsidering — and realizing she can't share her ambivalence with the boy she thinks of primarily as FrozenRobot, since their suicide plan is their primary connection.

Aysel, from the beginning, mesmerized me. She kept telling herself how much she wanted to die, but honestly, she didn’t. I knew from the beginning she wouldn’t go through with her plan. And that’s probably the only reason I kept reading. I knew I wanted to find out what it was that would change her mindset – her changing point.

Maybe I like this book so much because as a teenager, I've been dealing with many problems, even to a point where I just want to lock myself up in a room and not care about the world. But Aysel, who's feeling a deeper level of grief and sadness managed to convince herself that life would be better, and that's why this book is so beautiful, it gives you not only the aftermath of the storm but the storm itself.

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets 

# data[].attributes.body
I was looking for a book to read last year. So,i bought a book called Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. The author of this book is J.K. Rowling.

The summary
Harry Potter is a boy destined to fight Lord Voldemort.
Harry is pretty famous because of  the scar on his foerhead. His friends, Hermione and Ron is always with him. An elf named dobby told Harry to expect some trouble on his second year at hogwarts. There are names written all over the wall, students gone missing. Someone or something, starts turning hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy? A more poisonous rival than ever? Or Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally revealed? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects?? Harry Potter himself!

Adapt summary

This is my book summary of Adapt by Tim Harford. My notes are informal and often contain quotes from the book as well as my own thoughts. This summary also includes key lessons and important passages from the book.

The Toaster Project was when one man tried to build a toaster from scratch and realized the insane levels of complexity required.

Our world is stunningly complex, but we are so engulfed in this complexity that we take it for granted. We are blind to it.

We overestimate the impact any one person or leader can have because we fail to see how complex the problems are that current leaders face.

The system we live in is far too complex for any one person to understand. Even developing expertise in a particular area isn't as useful as you would expect because of the interrelatedness of things with my areas you know nothing about.

Failure is everywhere. Ten percent of American companies disappear every year.

Perhaps the reason companies don't stay at the top is simply because the only way to go is down. It's really hard to stay at the top and perhaps being a Fortune 100 company relies on many factors outside your control and not simply running a good company. When those factors change, so does your incredible success.

The market fumbles its way to success. The good ideas take off and less successful ones die out. It's like evolution for economics.

Avoid survivorship bias. Don't just see success. See all the failures that led to the eventual success.

The process of evolution strikes a balance between discovering the new and exploiting the familiar.

The evolutionary mix of small steps and occasional wild gambles is the best possible way to search for solutions.

Evolution produces ongoing “works for now” solutions and then builds upon those ideas.

We are more blind than we think.

Most real-world problems are more complex than we think.

Seek out new ideas and try new things.

When trying something new, do it on a scale where failure is survivable.

Seek out feedback and learn from your mistakes as you go along.

For some reason, we are obsessed with achieving uniformly high standards in industry even though it is precisely the opposite (variation and selection) that got us this far in the first place. In fact, if, for example, every hospital did things the same way, we would struggle to improve because nobody would test new ideas.

There is a limit to how much honest feedback most leaders want to hear.

Accepting trial and error means accepting error. And human brains don't seem to be very good at doing that.

“A person who has not made peace with his losses is likely to accept gambles that would be unacceptable to him otherwise.” -Kahneman and Tversky

John Endler's guppy studies from the 1970s showcase how environment drives evolution.

Make sure you know when you've failed. Measure your progress.

Measurement can come in many forms. For example, Whole Foods requires new employees to do a four week trial period and they are only hired if they earn positive votes from 2/3 of their coworkers. This is a form of peer monitoring (or we could call it peer measurement).

Google's 20 percent time is another example of peer monitoring because good side projects will gain the interest of peers.

In a company where your peers decide who stays around, there is no room for people who don't pull their weight.

80 percent of Google's projects will fail, but that doesn't matter. People only remember the 20 percent that succeed.

“Success is the number of experiments that can be crammed into 24 hours.”

Formal theory won't get you nearly as far as an incredibly rapid systematic process of trial and error.

Niche products grow and usurp incumbents precisely because they appeal only to a few users and seem inferior to incumbents. They get ignored long enough to grow into a serious threat.

Fascinating reason new ideas get sabotaged within organizations: if new business models catch on they often require people with new skills and that means any big wig in the current business will lose status. So they consciously or unconsciously sabotage new ideas because they are inherently threatening to the career they have spent years building. Yet another reason you must be constantly willing to reinvent yourself.

If you're going to fail in public, best to do it in front of a limited audience. You need a relatively safe space to fail.

Hedonic editing is a way of avoiding thinking about losses and mistakes by convincing ourselves they aren't that bad.

The three obstacles that prevent us from learning from our mistakes are 1) denial, 2) self-destructive behavior, 3) remembering past mistakes as triumphs.

Our response to failure should be, “I am not a failure, but I have made a mistake.”

What would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?

At first, I bought this book because I'm a coffee lover but as I read the novel I find it interesting and fun!

The setting here is in a café that offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.

We will meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-traveling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early-onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.

But the journey into the past comes with rules and risks. They must return to the present before the coffee gets cold...

I first saw this book in a video where it was recommended, and I got interested because they said that this book is heartbreaking, traumatic, and there are warnings that I should read before proceeding in reading this book. So being me, a girl who loves tragic plots, this book got my attention.

A Little Life portrays four college students as they deal with the complications of adulthood. Self-harm, abuse, human trafficking, and suicide are among the topics covered in this book. The story shocked me completely. It was lovely yet a devastating read. I don't recommend this if you're not ready to read this kind of book, but this is one of my favorite books.

"You pounce upon the happy moments, you hold them up as proof — even though that one moment cannot compensate for all the other moments, the majority of moments. See? This is why it’s worth living. This is why I’ve been making him try."

This book is filled with scary stories from Egypt to Iceland, from Japan to Germany, from Spain to Hawaii. It may give you nightmares but there are also plenty of lesson to learn in just one story.

It provides warnings such us beware of women who sharpen their teeth on wood or have beautiful red hair that turns into writhing serpents. Go home at night? Evil men needing someone to help them carry a corpse, they just might pick you up for the job.

I am a huge fan of horror movies and I never knew reading it was just as fun as watching it. I do have a limit on how brave I can be because some things are way too frightening for me but one thing for sure is that I won't ever stop reading.

This story is about a man shifting to a fantasy world where fighting is involved, and where leveling up is top priority it is also an example of a game where there are stages, and in each stage you need to complete a given task if you don't there will be consequences such as death. Also, the Main character in the story becomes a side character in that fantasy world.

Parable of the Lost Coin-Submitted by Gwyneth Rianne A. Marquez Grade 7-Arrhenius

Parable of the Lost Coin-Submitted by Gwyneth Rianne A. Marquez Grade 7-Arrhenius

Summary:
The parable of the lost coin is the story of a woman who loses one of her ten silver coins. She looks through her entire house and rejoices when she finds the coin. After finding this coin, the lady makes it seem like one coin has become more valuable than all of the other nine coins.

Reflection:
Every Bible Story is very inspiring and has moral. One of my favorite Bible Story is the "Parable of the Lost Coin". It is a story wherein the coin represents as a lost human being. This is all about Jesus love for us. The story also indicates the mission of the Son Jesus who came to be light of the world. For He is the true light who gives light to every man. In this, we must always be thankful to God for giving his Son Jesus to us who saves us from our sins and always sees the value in every human being. Let us be like him even in our own little ways. We can show our love and compassion for others not only by helping them but most importantly by being sensitive to their feelings too. Let's always remember, that we are all welcome to God. We just have to open our minds and hearts to Him and always ask for his forgiveness.

I've read a book about financial literacy called "My Ipon Diary".It is all about on growing your wealth and tips on how to save money and where to allocate it.I like reading books like those.As I progress to being a young adult,the lessons and tips that I read in the book will be very useful to me because I will know now how to handle money the right way.

Lily and Violet are twins—physically identical but quite opposite in character. Lily is brash, up-front and in your face. Lily Loudmouth, her dad calls her. Violet is timid and shy. She lives very much in Lily's shadow—a shrinking violet.

The lesson is that everyone could be "shrieky" or "shrinking". In this case, Violet was just delicately shy and her twin Lily was inevitably intimidating her.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid has always been my favorite book since I was a very young kid. Even now, its humor never fails to amuse me. Reading these series has taught me how not everyone is perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect life but it can be an enjoyable one. Through ourselves, our lives can be shaped into the thing we want them to be. Even if we are not as intelligent as others, even if we are as beautiful or handsome as others, we should not let these factors hold us back from having fun and being happy.

Percy Jackson the book series by Rick Riordan

# data[].attributes.body
I've recently finished reading the whole book series of Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan. There are a total of five (5) volumes in this book series. I started reading the first book when I was in grade 7. Ever since then, I tried to read it in my leisure time. To be honest, I don't normally go for fictional books, but this one's an exception. I've first watched the movie adaptation of this well-known fantasy novel, and it got me hooked already. Unfortunately, only the first two volumes made it to the big screen. I was curious about what happened next with the life of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. So as soon as I've learned that the films were based on a novel series, I immediately acquired them.

The book series has definitely exceeded my expectations. I was shocked because the storyline was totally different from the movie. Obviously, they couldn't really fit everything in a 2-hour film, so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

It wasn't solely about gods, goddesses, demigods, and all those mythological beings. Although it is a fantasy novel, the author still included a hint of reality. Any reader can interpret reality in some scenarios in the book. It is fascinating learning about Percy from his own point of view because he is so mature and self-aware. What makes him entirely likeable is his overwhelming sense that everything will just be fine.

"Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment. How's that?” -Hermes (The Sea of Monsters)
