book

In the book the perks of being a wallflower it talks about how he's life is having ups and downs and changing. He also talks about how he feels inside with all the cituations that are happening to him and problems that he is encountering. Also he know secrets from different people that are kind of serious but, can't tell nobody because it could get them in trouble. I think that in the next part his sister might get an abortion because she is pregnant and her ex boyfriend dosent want to take responsobility.

change of character

In the book CRASH John Coogan who is nicknamed crash has a big change in the way he saw things, other people, and especially Penn Webb the neiborh who he has hated since he moved because he was a vegeterian, walked his pet turtle and lived in a little garage with his 50 year old parents. In the begging of the book crash always teased and treated Penn bad because he thought he was so dorky. He bullied him in the neiborhood, school, and when Penn had cheerleading practice. But, when crash's grandpa came to visit that's when crash changed. Crash's grandpa was someone he looked up. There was a part in the story when his grandpa had a stroke and was in a bad condition. Seeing his grandpa the way that he was made crash look at things differently especially what he did to Webb over all the years he has known him. An example of this was when he and Penn were competing in the school race to see who runs in the Penn Relays but, Penn and crash had raced before and they both knew that crash was faster but, Penn wanted to be in the Penn Relays because his grandpa who gave him the name Penn was in the 1919 Penn relays and he had traveled from North Dakota to see the races. Penn thought that if he were to run in the races it would make his grandpa proud. When the race that decided who was going to be in the Penn Relay started crash was in the lead but, then thought of how much the race ment to Penn meant to him so then and there he decided to let him win. During the end of the story crash and Penn became best friends and all the people who to crash was a jerk because of what he did to Penn also became the friends of crash. This showed that crash changed the way he thought if the person he once hated. A quote in the book that shows that crash has changed is "Penn Webb is my best friend" this is the last sentence in the book and it shows the final part of him changing.

He talks about how life was in Germany when Hitler was starting to gain more power and attacking the Jews. In the book it shows that the family both have different points of you on how Hitler was ruling Germany in which they argue over.

The book NIGHT does not connect to me because i was never treated like the nazis treated the Jew. That's why this book dosent relate to me. Although i do simpat
One event that happened in the book NIGHT was when the narrator was about to be burned alive. The reason i enjoyed this part of the book is because he talks about what was going through his head as he was just about to face the angel of death. He mentions that he was staring into the face of the angel of death and knowing that he was about to die he still had hope and faith in god and some how is'nt burned alive. But, later on in the book he talks about how he lost hope and that the reason that he was still alive and wasn't killed a long time ago was just luck.
