THE CLIQUE

This week i finished reading gossip girl the carlyles, and it was amzing!!!! But this is not what i am writing about in this blog. i have been reading the book, The Clique by: Lisi Harrison. i have read this book before but no in a long time, and i am now realizing how funny it actually is. I had forgotten about how much back stabbing and life altering things had happened in the book, like Claire moving and Massie having to deal with the competition. I really like the parts in the book when Massie would do bad things to Claire just because she was different then her because she hadn't grown up in the same lifestyle as her. I think the best parts in the book was when Claire had gone on to Massie computer and tricked her friends to act like her so people wouldn't thinks she was only their because she was living in Massie Guest house. But the best part of the book was in the end Massie finally gave in to being friends with Claire and now they are great friends.

CHARACTER COMPARISM

I believe that Hallie and Codi are very similar in many ways because they are sisters, share the same traits, and i would say very close friends.  Another one of the reasons i believe that Codi and Hallie are very similar is that they are both are well traveled, because Codi has traveled all around Europe when she was with Carlo helping the sick, and now Hallie is in Nicuragua helping the people there grow crops to support themselves. This shows that they have been to many places around the world, and now are starting to settle down in one place. Also i think because of what they have seen in the world, it shows that they are always willing to help because like i said Hallie is in Nicuragua and now Codi has come back to Grace to help her father who is sick, and is now the Biology teacher in Grace at the High School. Also i believe that they are similar is they both are very tall at just around 6 feet. Also i think that the way they were raised help make the similar because they had the same friends, were alway with each other, and they would always sleep in the same bed and Doc Homer would say " it looked like they were the same person." Also i think because they had no mother growing up made them very close and similar because Codi took on the role of being a mother to herself and Hallie, because their mother died when giving birth to Hallie and Doc Homer was always a distant father to the girls. These are just a few reason that i think Hallie and Codi are similar.


Gossip Girl

I have recently been reading the book: Gossip Girl, The Carlyles By: Cecily von Ziegesar. This book is about the life of the Carlyles triplets when they move from Natucket to New York, and have to start their life all over again by meeting new friends and going to a new school. I believe that the author is proving her thesis because she is showing that moving to a new city and state isn't easy to do when you are a 17 year old. Is it leaving the only home you have ever lived in, starting a new school, or leaving all you friends behind and having to make new ones. I agree with the authors view on teenagers life because she show how mean some people can be, and also she show how the bonds of family always stay strong. I love reading this book because it has so much drama real life issues that everyone can feel like they have been one of the books characters in one way or another. i cant wait to read the ending to find out what happens next!
