NINETEEN MINUTES

In nineteen minutes you can see something you never thought. Witness something you will never forget. Be involved during a school shoot out. In the nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult the main character Josie is going through a tough time being discouraged by her peers. What has happened so far was that we are discussing the begging of the day where the shoot out occurred. Josie went to get coffe at the kitchen with her mother over the counter. She calls her mother by her first name for some odd reason. I don't know maybe this will be a good book after all.

IF YOU COme SOFTLY

In the book If You Come Softly by Jacquline Woodsen the two main characters are being discouraged because of their love for each other, when being of different colors. Ellie and Miah (Jerimiah) are a couple when everyday gets a dirty look for being together in public. For example, when Ellie and Miah were walking through Central Park this old white lady asked Ellie if she was alright and needed help. She did this because Ellie was holding hands with Miah who is black. So she assumed he was hurting her of some sort. Another example was when Ellie told her sister about Miah and she completely freaked out an told Ellie it wasn't a good idea to be with some one like Miah. Ellie thought that Anne would understand because she is gay. So she knows what it feels to be different. I guess not.
