I would not want to experience the events in this book because the officials tell you what to do all the time. Another reason why I would not like to experience the events in this book is because the characters in the book are constantly being watched and monitored on everything they do. The third reason why I would not like to experience the events in this book is because they are really really confusing. Also I would not like to experience the events in this book because they are very uninteresting and very very dull, and do not hold a lot of action. Those are the reasons why I would not like to experience the events in this book.

Does this book remind you of another book?

This book reminds me of the book, The False Prince. This book and Iceberg have the same author who is Jennifer A. Nielson. Another similarity is the main character. The main character in The False Prince is Jaron who is a long lost prince who everyone believed to be dead and his fake name was Sage. The main character in Iceberg is Hazel. They both are willing to take risks nobody else would. In book 2 of the False Prince series, (The Runaway King) in book 3 (Shadowed Throne) he has to defend his country from war in the third and faces assisnation attempts in book 2. In Iceberg, Hazel still goes to try and help her friends escape while the Titanic is sinking. Knowing the danger, she takes the risk to find her friends and try to get off the ship before it sinks. In the second book, Jaron has to run away from the throne to fight the pirates to get rid of the bounty on his head. In the third book, he has to defend his country and run away from his friends and the women he loves because of the state of war they were in. In conclusion, both books are similar through the author and the characters. They are similar because of how they act in how the main characters take risks.

I would not be interested in experiencing the events that took place in ‘’Flipped’’. The first reason is at the start of the story it showed that one of the characters acted crazy and romantic. The second reason I would not be interested in experiencing the events, is because as I stated in the previous reason it feels weird and as the story continues the characters continue to do these sorts of actions, which do not seem appealing to experience on a daily basis. The third reason is because the first main character, Bryce, decided that in the final chapter he wanted to kiss the second main character, Juli, then he ended up being embarrassed in front of the most popular kids in school which changed what kids thought about him. This would not be interesting to experience because if I was in his position it would ruin a lot of things in my life. These are the reasons I would not be interested in experiencing the events in ‘’Flipped’’.

What connections can you make to a particular character, author, or event in the story?

In the story, Chinese Cinderella, by Adeline Yen Mah, I discovered personal connections with the main character, Wu-Mei. Wu-Mei was the youngest child in the family before her father remarried. Even before Wu-Mei was able to understand words, she faced discrimination and was called unlucky because her mother had died after giving birth to her. The only motivation that kept her going was school awards. She would work hard to receive awards just so that her father could show her a glimpse of a smile during dinner time. Besides the similarity of us both being the youngest child and having an older sister, bigger things like wanting to be noticed, praised, and favoritized can be compared in many different ways. Since Wu-Mei didn’t have a proper mother who could be the backbone or supporter, her aunt stepped up and helped Wu-Mei whenever she felt lonely. She kept all of Wu-Mei’s awards in a safe place. That action made Wu-Mei feel powerful. I tend to do the same things as well. I’ll wash the dishes, wash dirty clothes, clean rooms just so that my parents could make me feel the same way Wu-Mei felt when her aunt kept her awards in a safe. Although they never asked to, I’ll work hard for recognition like Wu-Mei.

If I had the chance to see and experience the future like in The Time Machine I think it would be a little cool at first. I would like to see what the future looks like, and how much people have changed hundreds or thousands of years from now. It would be fun and scary to see how things have changed over time, and seeing how the world itself has changed over time. Even though it would be exciting, I think after finding out about the dangers the time traveler faces, I would not stay for more than a day or two. I wouldn’t stay long because it would be scary to be in a place where I don’t know where I am, and I wouldn’t know anyone around me. I don’t think that would be safe at all. Also knowing that everyone I knew would no longer exist scares me. I would miss my family too much. This story shows that although discovering the future may sound fun, there are many unknown dangers. I would like to visit the future, but only if I knew that I would be able to get home safely.

Every book that has been made offers a cool and new perspective of the main character in the book. It could be mysterious, dystopian, and many more. I read the book “The Time Machine” made by HG Wells. In my opinion this was a good book because it features a good prediction of the future and a cool dystopian type book.

If I had a chance to experience one thing in the book it would be when the time traveler travels millions of years into the future. I know this because the book states, “I cannot convey the sense of abominable desolation that hung over the world. The red eastern sky, the northward blackness, the salt Dead Sea, the stony beach crawling with these foul, slow stirring monsters.” (152, Wells). This is important because it shows the time traveler millions of years in the future. I know that he is millions of years in the future because the world wouldn’t be filled with monsters in thousands or one hundred thousands of years in the future.

You should read this book if you are interested in the arts of the future or time traveling. This book is different then other books because it makes an assumption on how future civilization will most likely be. Overall this book would be a good recommendation if you like dystopian typed books.

The events in the story Chinese Cinderella are similar to the events in the movie Wicked. For example, Adeline from Chinese Cinderella and Elphaba from Wicked, who are the main characters in each of these stories, are both unwanted daughters. In the stories they are both disliked by their families and treated like outcasts in their house. They were both neglected by their families and were treated differently than their siblings. Both of these characters also had someone in their house that, unlike the rest of their family, cared for them and meant something special to them. For example in Chinese Cinderella, it was Adeline's Aunt Baba and in Wicked it was Elphaba's Nanny, Dulcibear. These are some of the similarities between the book Chinese Cinderella and the movie Wicked.

Flipped written by Wendelin Van Draanen is one of the novels that link the fictional plot with life at present. One of them includes judging a person without getting to know him/her. It concerns both Juli and Bryce. The problem of bullying and being kind to each other becomes popular. In most schools, students learn to respect and accept everybody.

Respecting nature is another link. Juli adores the sycamore tree and wants to save it from destruction. People are interested in the issue nowadays. Both children and grown-ups plant trees, pick up garbage and maintain cleanliness in parks and streets.

It is also important to note that honesty and receptiveness are among the main lessons of the novel. Bryce gets to learn to recognize his mistakes and change his attitude towards life.

I would not want to experience what the main character Maddie went through. She is a teenage girl who lives in the middle of Alaska. She had to move because it was not safe for her and her dad. I would be scared too if I had to move in the middle of nowhere where wild animals and freezing weather is. I love my community and I can't imagine being alone most of my teenage years. Another reason is she got hit by a gun and fell down a far cliff and barely survived. She got kidnapped right after with the president son, Logan. I never want to experience being hit and kidnapped. That is why I don't want to experience what Maddie went through.

I would not want to experience anything from the book “Flipped” by Wendelin Van Draanen. I would not want to experience the book “Flipped” because of the main characters' weird relationship, Julianna is crazy and romantic, and Julianna giving eggs to Bryce. The first reason why is at the beginning of the book the main character Julianna is crazy and romantic for the other main character Bryce but Bryce does not like Julianna. Another reason is on a daily basis Julianna starts to give eggs to Bryce from her chickens and Bryce starts to avoid Julianna more. The third and final reason is starting at the end of the book Bryce decided to kiss Julianna then Bryce got embarrassed by the popular kids. That is why I would not want to be in the book.

In the story Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen I learned about romance, honesty and more emotions. In the story flipped it talks about how this new family moves in the Loski’s. As the family is unboxing their furniture and more there is a little girl named Julianna Baker or known as Juli. Juli comes to the moving truck to meet there dad Mr. Loski and Bryce Loski at first Juli wonders what new neighbors she’d have so she decides to go help them move the packages. Little does she know they aren’t liking her at all so “Mr. Loski tells Brcye you should go help your mother” to get him away. Juli then comes running to Bryce and holds his hand to stop him and then that’s when all the sudden they meet eye to eye and Juli starts a crush on him, then Bryce’s mother comes out and makes him blush really red and then goes inside and Juli follows him in but then Bryce “pretends” to use the bathroom. Little does she know he just sits in there praying she’ll leave which she ends up doing. Later in the story, as they start to grow up and everything Juli gets over Bryce and then eventually, she raises chickens due to a science fair project. Those chickens have eggs that Juli started giving to Bryce but after 2 years of Byrce fearing of salmonella poisoning, he gets rid of them. Juli finds out about it after 2 years of this and completely flips and says she could’ve sold those to other neighbors and runs home holding back her tears. On top of that he also calls the Bakers yard a mess so then the next night at the Bakers she tells her mom all about this and then finally asks “why don’t we fix the front yard and backyard?” Then her dad and mom explain how their house wasn’t theirs and how they couldn’t afford to fix it. So, Juli decided to fix the yard herself up and then after a few days Chet Loski, known as Bryce’s granddad, comes and helps Juli asking why he wanted to help her? Chet said it’s because she reminded her of his wife. Then at the end Bryce becomes a basket boy that he really doesn’t want to be but his mother forces him to so he does become one. At the auditorium the basket boys were there, and the girls would bring money and raffle who they wanted to be with so they did it after that they eat their lunch and Bryce tries to kiss Juli but Juli backs away and everyone stares in silence at him. I think the story shows that people can change as they grow up. It also teaches us to be honest, kind, and not judge people by how they look or what others think about them.

Chinese Cinderella is a touching autobiography by Adeline Yen Mah about the many challenges she faced growing up. While there are many sad moments in her life, I believe the lasting idea in the book, being forgotten by family members and feeling unwanted and like an outcast is something I’d never want to experience. Throughout the story, she is often overlooked and abandoned by those around her.

For example, early in the story, she got lost while trying to walk home because her parents forgot to pick her up. What makes it even more emotional is that she was so young, only five years old at the time. This is an experience I would never want to go through. Being left behind by your own parents or anyone you know at such a young age hurts to think about, and the pain gets worse as you get older. Knowing the people responsible for you forgot to pick you up from school and then acted like it was nothing, is something no one should ever have to experience.

Because Adeline does not have a single human in her home who cares, she had to look to animals for comfort. Although it was temporary, she got the true love she needed from PLT, a duckling. This is exactly why knowing that at least one person truly cares is enough to make someone feel as if they have a purpose.

Would you be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? Why or why not?

I would not be interested in having the kind of experiences that Adeline had in the book Chinese Cinderella because her life is not very good. To start, her whole family hates her and considers her bad luck because her mother died during childbirth with her. Her father, who barely acknowledges Adeline’s existence, also remarried. Her awful stepmother, Niang, treats her and her siblings terribly, while their step siblings are spoiled and get amazing treatment. She also sends Adeline to multiple different boarding schools. Despite her terrible home life, Adeline does excellent in school. She considers it her sanctuary and consistently gets first place and first prizes in school, but her parents don’t really care for any of that. Even though her family hates Adeline, her Ye Ye and Aunt Baba are nice and listen to her. Unfortunately at the end of the story, Ye Ye dies. Adeline is devastated to find out when this happens. The good thing is that she got first prize in the International Play-Writing Competition and won fifty English pounds for her play Gone With the Locusts. Her father is finally proud of her and lets her go to medical school in England and become a doctor. That is why I would not want to have the kind of experiences that are in this book.

Would you be interested in having the kind of experiences in the book? Why or why not?

I would not like to experience what happens in the book Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen. The reason why I wouldn’t want to experience what Bryce and Juli went through is because it was too much drama. I personally have other activities outside of school such as volleyball. I also have tournaments on the weekends and practices after school so I wouldn’t have time for that. I also want to become an actress so I would have to audition, memorize lines and be on set, so that is another reason I would not have time to be distracted with what they went through.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I would be interested in these types of experiences in the book because there was way too much drama. For example on page 143 There were two boys named Garret and Bryce who I feel like is one of the protagonists alongside Julianna, Juliannna the one that the 2 were talking about. They were talking about Juliannas salmonella poisoning and her chickens. Bryce kept on throwing her eggs. Julianna was basically getting bullied by those two. Another example is how Julianna and Bryce liked each other but they didn't know that they both liked each other. That is why I won't be interested in these situations because they are kind of awkward.

I would not want to experience the events in this book because I would not want any of my parents or family members to be depressed. I don’t want my family to be depressed because, just like Natalie’s mom, she was in her room in the dark for almost the whole day for a long time, and I don’t want any of my family members to do that because it’s not healthy for them or for anybody else in their family. My second reason for why I would not want to experience the events in this book is that Natalie and her friends got in trouble for breaking into Natalie's mom's work building and office and lost all the trust their parents had for them. I would not want to lose my family’s trust because I broke into a building.

Prompt:

Does this book remind you of another book, event or show?

I just finished the book “Flipped” by Wendelin Van Draaen. I liked the book because it reminded me of a TV show i just watched with my family called “Young Sheldon.” Many of these characters had similarities. Both Sheldon and Juli felt like they didn’t fit in with their classmates and some people thought they were kind of odd. Sheldon was very smart and didn’t have a lot in common with kids his age, and Juli didn’t fit in because she had a big personality and some kids thought she was too much. Both characters had very supportive families that encouraged them to be themselves. Unlike Juli and Sheldon, Bryce and Georgie were both very likable and somewhat popular boys that made friends easily. All four characters grew throughout their stories to form solid friendships and successful futures.

I think that this book relates to current things I have seen in movies. there is always either a girl or a boy that one of them like each other and the other one has different thoughts. And sometimes it reverses and the other boy or girl likes the girl or oy that liked them before it could be possible that the original person has moved on. Just like in the book for example Juliana used to be obsessed with Bryce. But Bryce on the other hand did not like Juliana but the reason that made Juliana Moved on from Bryce because first when she was giving him eggs but he was throwing them away because they were afraid of salmonella poising. And the second reason that made her move on from Bryce was when her friend Darla told her that she overheard Bryce and his friend Garret making jokes about Juliana's uncle David. And what made Bryce to flip and started liking Juliana was first. He saw her differently ever since the newspaper photo and second and at the basket boys PTA event Bryce tried to Kiss Juliana in front of everyone.
