Reading Log 2

The Perks Of Being a Wallflower

This book shows the struggle of highschool.  It fallow a boys first year of high schools by letters he writes to a stranger.   He struggles with what all teens struggle with; drugs, alcohol, smoking, friends, and finding who you are.  It is a very good representative of  the typical American teenager.
Is this good though?  Does it show how we actually are? or is it just stereo typical?  This is effect how we grow up?  If teens acted different would the whole American Experience be different?
I would recommend this book.  The format is easy to get into and this book is very easy to relate to.    

Reading Log 1

Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games is about the future US.  Now it is all divided up into districts and is run by one district. The further down your district the less you have.  The people that now run the districts have this event called the Hunger Games, where they chose a girl and a boy from each district who are forced to go and kill eachother in order to win this game.  Its a life death situation.
Is this were are world is heading towards?  If we continue down the same places we are going is America going to turn into this?  A place were we force children to go kill eachother?  To lose innocents like that so young?
I would recommend this book to be read.  Its very well written and a very good story full of drama, sadness, and growing up.
