  Holes: By Louis Sachar I first read Holes when I was in sixth grade. I have not thought about it since I first read it. I recently learned there is a movie and I decided to watch it. After watching the movie I think the book is better. The book left a lot of details up to imagination and the movie obviously took that away by showing those aspects. That isn’t the issue though. The issue is the movie didn’t show them well. This made me think about how good the book actually was and that’s what this blog is about, not the movie. Holes is about a kid named Stanley Yelnats. Stanley gets sent to a kids correctional camp called Camp Green Lake where he and others have to dig holes in the desert. This is only what people think though. What is actually happening is that they are digging for something under the dirt with only the camp director knowing. I remember being kind of surprised how it all worked out at the end and how it made sense even though you didn’t really see it coming. The ...

The book I read was Mrs. Dalloway, this book isn't a normal book it's very unique, it's not a typical story you read and understand the plot, this story is an experience of Clarissa Dalloway life during 1983. This story gives you a stream of stream of consciousness that lets you live inside the character's mind. You don't exactly just read about Clarissa or Septimus, you feel their thoughts, memories, and emotions. It's like this book gave you experience's through someone's soul. It shows how Woolf the author plays with time, compressing a lifetime into a single day in London, which shows how the past constantly influences the present as we pass through decades through flashbacks and memories. This book makes an impact on how you reflect on your own life and helps see how small moments can carry huge emotional weighs on you.  This novel also explores mental health, grief, love, regret, and identity. And it's only seen by the sensitivity and honesty u...

  One Up on Wall Street: By Peter Lynch After I finished my last book “ The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens”  I was filled with a need for more than just a surface level introduction. I searched many times with many different key words for more books but the one that kept getting recommended was “One up on Wall Street.” I researched the author Peter Lynch and he was a fund manager at a well known brokerage firm called Fidelity. He ended up succeeding massively during his time managing the fund. This is due to the fact that the fund reached an average annual return of nearly thirty percent! This is quite impressive when the average return of the stock market as a whole is only about ten percent. With this impressive background I figured I should buy the book as soon as possible. The book was a far more in depth book about the stock market and how you can use what you already know whether it's through a job you have or a business that you spend a lot of money at. The idea...
