The One and Only Ivan was good because the texture of the book was good. I liked how Ivan kept his promise to Stella by helping Ruby.

I loved this book because I love animals and I love when authors write books from an animal's perspective because it makes the book just so interesting that you can't stop reading it.

When they were skateboarding down the hallways of the school, and then they skateboarded to class, I thought that it was really cool. Because if we were able to skateboard to class we would get there way faster, and people would not be marked tardy, which means late, and when they walk home. Every chapter has a different street name, and I thought that was really cool this is why you should read Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds

It was not nice when the brothers did not include their little sister in activities.

This is a great book of why daddies are great.

The part I likes about this book was when Penelope shares her brownies with her classmates.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath follows a girl named Esther Greenwood. For the majority of her life, Esther has known winning scholarships. After all, thats the whole reason why Esther has an apprenticeship for a fashion magazine in New York City. Though, with the standards of being a woman in a judgmental society, Esther will find herself gradually succumbing to insanity. This book had its moments where I felt I should stop reading it. Some of the ideas in this book can still be applied to today's society though, many of the ideas are outdated. For one, at the very beginning, we see language that targets minority groups. There are outdated terms used that are harmful stereotypes to this day. There was one part of the book that disturbed me when Esther kicked a black man because he served two different platters of beans to her. Can this "feminist" book be considered groundbreaking if the language brings down other oppressed groups? I understand that this book was written decades ago, but it seems like a lousy excuse to me to bring down minorities. I will admit, though, I did enjoy some of the metaphors in the novel and some of the foreshadowing. One instance is on page one when Esther states, "...but I couldn't help wondering what it would be like, being burned alive all along your nerves," which foreshadows the electrotherapy that Esther is going to receive later in the novel. Though, these metaphors do not change the fact that this book had some harmful stereotypes in it. Overall, certain parts of this book were upsetting, and I feel as though there are most likely many books out there that have aspects of feminism that advocate for POC and other oppressed minorities.

A slow going book- You have to trust the process. This book made it super clear that is was NOT historical fiction. Almost every single fact was cited (Which isn't so much of a problem) but, it made certain parts of the book super boring. Although I appreciate the thoroughness, I think the book could've incorporated the same information and made the book a little more interesting. I learned a lot as I was reading the book, but again, I devoured the book in 4 days (camping) and I think It would have taken me 10 days or I wouldn't have gotten past the first two chapters, if I was at home.
