All About: The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants


Alright everyone, you know what time it is. So today's assignment is to research a bestselling book we chose over Thanksgiving break, and I chose The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
So this book was originally published in New York City by 17th Street Productions. The book production cost is not stated, but the film cost was over 25 million. This book was a very interesting book. It has to do with four best friends who are all going to be separated for the summer. On their last day together, they all find a pair of pants that all seem to fit them perfectly. They decide to share them over the summer as their way of communication.
This book is somewhat different than other books I have read in school. I have never been assigned to read a realistic fiction book, which is my favorite genre. I recommend this book to people who enjoy classics and of course, realistic fiction. I find the movie much better than the book because you can get a better understanding of how the characters look/feel.
I don't think there is much you can learn from this book except just how loyal friends can be, and just how sentimental something ordinary can be. I think this book would be a good book for English or other writing classes, and I will definitely read it again (and watch the movie :p)

The Face on the Milk Carton [BANNED??????????????]


BOYYY okay lemme start by saying you all remember how happy I was writing my last post about how The Face on the Milk Carton was my favorite book??? Well today I just found out it's BANNED like E X C U S E M E.
APPARENTLYYYYY It's been banned since like 2009 or something which is weird because I found it in the library and stuff sooooo yeah I'm confused.
Anywho its banned apparently because of the "sexual content' EVEN THO ITS ONLY KISSING LIKE BOI and challenge to authority like ?????????? her parents lied to her her whole life what I would be mad too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO STUPID like I'm really gonna drive down to wherever these people are and slip something into their coffee like o m g.
I most definitely think this book should not be banned because it is an amazing book and it uses lots of good imagery and the plot is nice and the characters are all awesome and everything so UN BAN IT PLEASE USA.
I got my sources from google search cuz they just popped up when I typed it into the search bar so idrk what to put for works cited tbh.

Favorite Book :)

My favorite book of all time is probably 'The Face on the Milk Carton' by Caroline B. Cooney. I love this book because it talks about a possible kidnapping { you'll find out in the end (; } and I find that topic to be somewhat interesting. No I'm not a kidnapper, I just find the topic interesting. I like the way imagery is used within this book and I am a fan of realistic fiction. Although this book does not state one of the genres is realistic fiction, I would classify it as one since this situation could happen in real life. It is about a young girl named Janie who finds her three year old picture on the back of a milk carton under the missing children's section. She begins to investigate until she finds out her 'parents' are indeed her grandparents and her 'real mother' kidnapped her from a shopping mall when she was three. She meets her real family in the second book 'Whatever Happened to Janie?' and they try to welcome her but she misses her old 'real' family and eventually returns back to them, leaving her real family heartbroken. It is a beautiful book and I love reading it, and I recommend it to people who love mystery and suspense stories.

Shocking Video Games ?


I haven't played a game that really shocked me but I have seen some at arcades and stuff where they have those hunting and racing games with women on the front half naked and dancing. I lowkey find that disrespectful like what. Most music videos nowadays are these half naked people dancing all inappropriate like why is that what entertains people now? I mean I know some people like that type of stuff but to me I just find it disturbing that all people need to have is beauty and a nice body and wala they're famous. I don't really know why things like this are made because to me its kind of disturbing but I guess people have different likings. I don't think there really is an excuse for this other than people just want up-to-date music videos, songs and more. I don't really find it a problem although it is kind of disrespectful to me because of how they portray women on those video games like that.
