Now I am reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I find it very amusing. It's about this guy Mr. Darcy who is is rich. He doesn't believe in associating with people who are of a lower class then him. Elizabeth is a lower class person who won't stand to being treated inferior to anyone else. So it's like two strong headed people going at eah other neither one backing down. Now we just have to see who gives in first.

Well, I've read and have finished reading Friction by E.R. Frank. This was a good book about how lying can a change a persons perspective on another person. In the end though the truth always comes out. It might hurt more than the lie but its better to know than not know. I really recommend this book to people.

I finished reading Go Ask Alice. It had a really tragic ending. I think the symbol in this book was her diary. In it she wrote all her happiness and suffering. In a way I think her diary kept her alive. Once she stopped keeping one she died. I think her diary represented hope. It was her hope to someday stop using drugs. She really tried to. All the things that had happened to her which she had written down motivated her to get over her addiction. But when she decided to not keep a diary anymore , I guess she gave up fighting too.

Well, now I am reading Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. The first one hundred pages have been really good. This book is actually a girl's diary who tells her story of becoming a drug addict. It's kind of scary though because what happened to her can happen to anyone. She just started out trying to have fit in and have friends in her new school. Slowly she began to be lead into a completely different world. I hope though that she finds herself and her life again.

I have finished reading "The Secret Lives of Bees". It had a really sad ending and left you wishing for more but I think it is the perfect ending in a way. My favorite passage in this book is the following:
This is what I know about myself. She was all I wanted. And I took her away.
I liked this phrase because it is so simple yet it has so much sorrow and pain at the same time.

This picure makes me think of the book. The book is called the Secret Lives of Bees but besides that I think that it relates a lot to Lily's life in general. She doesn't have a mother and her father acts like he doen't really care whether she's talented or not as long as she isn't out with some guy. Lily is like the bees she might look insignificant and easy to dominate but she has an inner strength that her father never imagined she had.

I chose to read the book "The Secret Lives of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. I chose to read this b ook because I liked the plot synopsis and the cover. It seems very cozy like. I think I'm going to see the story from a different perspective. Sue Monk Kidd worked as a registered nurse and a college nurse.I feel like I'm going to enjoy reading this book.
