It felt as if you where actually there and knew how the characters where feeling. I would probably tell more about what happened to them and maybe what happened in trail and how theyre dealing with it. The book made me think twice about how we stereotype people get into these crazy clichés, and how we dress seems like what we are to others. Rob has an idea to turn fat, un-cool Simon Glass into prom king material. The book gets you hooked and you cant put it down. With the help of rich, intelligent Young (who narrates the story), the girl-attracting Bobster, and sweet athletic Coop, Simon gets a feel for new things that he really enjoys, until Simon uncovers a very dangerous secret about Rob. Throughout the book Simon Glass begins to like his new profound popularity and starts to be less timid and a lot more outgoing, more than Rob could take. Then Simon takes over Robs control of votes for class favorite and confronts the group of Robs little secret, and it results in a devastating end. I felt Gail Giles wrote an accurate picture of high school life and its everyday life style.
Giles made the book very interesting and included everyday problems. In the book, she describes how Alice, the girl who thinks that Lance has a thing for her, gets humiliated when she brings a cake to him in the cafeteria and he refuses. That particular act of embarrassment is shown every day in real life by humans around the globe. The tension Giles creates when Simon finds out Robs secret is some-what intense. He feels like he should protect him because he finds that Rob could be hurting that his fathers in jail, but just hiding it from the outside world. In the book, Rob ends up killing Simon at prom because he calls him a “Fag” and everyone starts to believe he was gay. “Shattering Glass” is a great book that shows a lot of natural motif. The motif in the book would be Rob. Hes very deceiving with his life, & makes everything more intense. He pushes everyone to think Simon is the new “cool”, just so everyone will keep eyes off him and his secret.
Giles’ ‘Book of the Year’ is a wonderful book. The author talks about things he loves and doesn’t like and about how the world was created with them. She gives a number of lessons in a variety of genres and in the course of them she gets a lot of laughs and has many people going along with it. She’s not some kind of a serial killer in her world. Her readers were quite impressed with the book and she was quite pleased with the result of her efforts! Plus when you read the book in one sitting you can tell how big of an effect she’s had on everyone and the way that this book has contributed to your life. She’s changed my life, it’s amazing. That’s why it didn’t do me any good.
I was really interested when I started reading the book. The more I read it at my own pace my mind went crazy. I was not sure what to expect when reading a book on its own, this makes people a little bit more skeptical when they read them. I was going back and forth with my brain until I read the book when I had little expectations. For the first 2 pages I was going to be sitting on my couch watching the movie. I was sure everyone needed to start watching it and then I decided to sit down and write it for me. A lot of fans and a lot of fans of the book went “wow, it’s so fun with the books!”. It’s very humorous and funny, in a nice way. I have heard great things about it, in all things. I love the way my body grows and changes, the way we both feel and laugh and talk about things and we have a strong connection with it. Some people may not know about the book, even now, so all I do is keep on reading and continue to write with my wife and friends and even in school for my next school reading project. I have a wonderful writing friends and this book is amazing. It gets you as a reader to look closely at what you are reading and what you are looking at, even when you aren’t interested.
