Independent reading book response

     The book I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa schroeder is basically about a 15 year old girl that loses her boyfriend in a horrible accident. A little while after her boyfriends funeral she begins to see his ghost around her house. Except it wasn't just a ghost. It was actually him, in spirit. He would write her letters , in lipstick on her mirror. And make the television turn on to let her know he was there. 
     The girl, Ava, never wants to leave the house, because she doesn't want to be away from her boyfriend Jacksons spirit, that only arrives in her home. The structure of the book is beautiful, its like mini poems put together to make a story. The poetic language bring so many emotions with this book. It really is great! Getting back to plot, I notice how Ava is almost , not really her self around anyone. She has Jackson always on her mind. And it seems like, in Ava's mind, Jackson is all she needs. She doesn't even seem "real" with her own dad.
     In conclusion, this book left me in tears more than once. The way the Ava and Jackson are together, they love each other unconditionally. Often that word, unconditionally isn't correct for some relationships. But, for Jackson and Ava's . It really is true, Ava still loves Jackson even though he isn't living. This book is a MUST read !!! it's really touching, and despite what you may think about all the good and happy sounding things I have said about it. Just like in any relationship, couples fight unconditionally as well.

Response on Hurricane Sandy

     The article I read about hurricane sandy is about a serious issue, other than people losing their homes. And not having food. Instead its about a group of living things that seem to have been forgotten , left in the rubble. ANIMALS. Some animal shelters have been destroyed and leave many innocent cats and dogs ect. with no where to go. Everyone deserves to be taken care of. And this article basically talks about how you can donate to a fund that will go to animal relief and help to get animals, and shelter owners back on their feet!

     I think this is a great cause because , with so much going on and with every person in need, we have almost all forgotten about animals that need food , shelter, and affection. They are living too. It really shows that they depend on us to live. And we have to be there for them because they are just innocent animals. If I were you I would donate to this cause ASAP!!

     Now that being said, I don't want to have my thoughts on animal relief be confused with me not wanting to help people that are in need. I strongly believe in donating to a cause that will help people who have no food clothing or shelter. We are all neighbors , we have to have someone to look to when we fall. We need to help other people who have been less fortunate than us. Imagine what it could be like to wake up in a shelter, having lost everything you have to your name. Humans are very important and need to be taken care of as well.

   From this article, I take that animals need are help, an humans need our help. People are already getting tons of help by government and other people who are donating to relief causes. Animals need not be forgotten, they are living just like us . No one wants to be left in the dust to fend for yourself.
