Would you want someone to know everything you think or everything you see? Would you want people to know who you are when they are readying your "diary"? Well the author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower wants his name and evryone in his books name to be fake. He makes up fake names to hide identies of the people. This book describes her whole high school experience and how she beat a boy up. How she walked in on her sister and her boyfriend. This book took a lot to publish and her identity being hidden makes the read more interesting. 

You get into the life of a normal high school girl. She watches her sister get beat by her boyfriend. She watches as people in the hallwyas look at her weird. She talks out a boy named "Nothing". It is not his real name his real name is Patrick and everyone called him patty on the play ground. "Listin, you eaither call me Patrick, or you call me nothing." She tells the storys of other kids too not just hers.

Think about the millions of jobs out there. Could there be one that is harder then all the rest? I just recently watched a video on what is the hardest job in the world. It does not pay anything at all. You work 24 hours a day 365 days a year. You half to get up in the middle of the night to check on them. You half to make sure they get on and off the bus. Take them to there friends house and sport events. You even half to make them feel warm when they are sick. Listin to them when they are sad.

The mother in my book is a mother of eight kids. She lives in the time with out cell phones and babey monditors. She has to get up to check on her eight kids by her self. Too make it even harder she is a single mom. Ellen however has the help of the older child Jethro but how much help could he really be. Ellen just had to deal with one of her kids haveing a heart attack. Ellen wants everything for her kids. She over comes haveing to work on a farm and raise eight kids, all by her self.

Imagine a mother having to get up in the middle of the night to check on her crying kids every 45 minutes. Well Ellen woke up to just that a sick kid. Matt had a fever and was not looking to good. He was couching and throwing up. Ellen was really worried about Matt. Matt wanted to go into town to get the guy who hurt his brother Jethro. Ellen said ok he could go but to thank Mr. Burdow for helping Jethro.

A few minutes past as Matt heads to town. Ellen all of a sudden hears a loud noise. She run out side to investigate only to find Matt on the ground. Matt was having a hart attack! Ellen ran inside to call the doctors. When the doctors got their Matt was in very bad shape. How ever they where able to revive him. Matt escaped a bad morning but still intent on getting to town. Ellen thinks other wise.

Krista Ramsey wrote a blog called Still reflecting on act of vandalism on Opening Day. This was about Krista being at the parade and not being able to see over the crowed. She looks back to see a son and a parent standing on top of plants. They did this to get a better view but at the cost of killing the plants. Her lesson was that together society is pretty but if you choose to vandalism thing your society will look bad. They where destroying someone else plants for there own amusement and disregarding that they where costing the local business money.

The line that was best written and had the most impact on the reader was "At the end of the day, you – me, all of us – might do well to pause a minute and consider the view of the world we claim for ourselves and, in getting it, the view of ourselves we leave behind." She used dashes to add more emphasis on that everyone leaves a mark on society and the world. You deiced how others view you as a person and as a community member. Everyone has an impact on the world, you decided weather or not it will be a good impact or not. The world does not belong to any one person it belongs to everyone. All people must contribute in a good way to make the world a better place. Standing on the flower was a bad impact on society. How she reversed the words view to give it too separate meanings was clever. The first on how you view the world has to do with arrogance. How the world views you is how other people see you and judge you.  

In all of Krista Ramsey articles she used a very conversational style of writing. this makes her writing very easy to read and to understand. She tells true story that can be easily related to. Stuff we can imagine our self doing in real life. Her writing always has a message. 
Question number one: Why do you love the earth so much?
Question number two: where do you get your ideas?
Question number three: Where did you grow up?

Think of coffie and how important it is to life and what u would do with out it. When the little things go away people change and can become mad. Do to the setting and being during a war Ellen is haveing really bad headache because coffie supplies where running out. The country is devoting everything to the war so stuff like coffie gets left out. Ellen head was really starting to hurt and she send Jethro to go get some.


Jethro gets sent to the town and get stoped by a family friend that asks for a few things and ask about the war. It was fifteen miles from the house to the town. Jethro gets the stuff in town as he walks around he sees rich and poor. He see people around a fire that are poor and look horrible. He thinks to himself that he does have it better then most people but can improve.
