Outside Reading Book Review

The book I read for my ORB is a wonderful novel by Alice Sebold, The Lovley Bones.
The Lovley Bones is about a 14 year old girl names Susie Salmon, susie was a typical girl who enjoyed taking pictures of the people around her and the things that surround her. She was murdered when she turned 14 itwas unfortunately by her next door neighbor known as Mr. Harvey.
She was lured into a club house that Mr. Harvey gphad supposivley built for the kids in the community to play in until... She got into the fort and he stat red to act weird she was very worried because she had to be home she was late. He then raped and killed her dismembering her body and bringing it to her housetotrow it in a sink hole. The police never found any evidence on Mr. Harvey. He moved Like 6 years later and left evidence on his garage floor but the real-estates told the home owners it was oil but it was really blood. But the turning point was that susie could look over from heaven and couldn't communicate but tried so hard to help her parents try to figure out who was her murderer. I like this book because its in the suspense
Genre interested in very mysterious things and solving crimes. I would recommend this book to everyone over the age of 13 because it tells what could really happened in life if your not careful it's very sad but this could happen to anybody.

Speak

I agree with the statement that students shouldn't share
With teachers about their personal problems because I had
A personelle experience that resembles that
Statement. I had shared about Something I was going through
and the teacher I had Shared it with went straight to the state
resulting in being tooken away from my parents.
In my opinion I agree with this statement because the results
Of my personal experience. My life was effected negatively
And I don't want to see some other kid be effected negatively like
I was when I was younger. I mean you can tell teachers if your in
Danger but some stuff you should keep to your self. Like if you drink
Smoke etc.... Just simple things like that u should keep to your self.
Because the whole world doesn't need to know what you do in your
Personal life.

I disagree with the statement that if someone is drunk or high
He or she is not responsible for his or her actions.
I disagree with that because there is millions of people who drive
Drunk and high and millions who do not but at the same time there is
People dead because of being behind the wheel of a car while they
Were drunk or high.but I learned that no matter what drug you are on
You are accountable for every action you do.
My aunt has been in a nursing home for over 28 years because she got
into the car with a drunken driver and it really makes me upset because
innocent people get hurt For other peoples bad disicions.
