Chasing Yesterday-Awakening By: Robin Wesserman

Significance:

I chose this peice bacause the books discription made it seem interesting and the cover caught my eye. It talked about a girl who lost her memory and couldn't get it back! I just couldn't even imagine what it would be like. I also picked this book because it was a series and series are way more exciting to read than only one book. The authors theme for this book was about a thirteen year old girl who could not remember her past nomatter who helped or how hard she tried to get it back.

Perspective:

The authors expiriances affect the theme of this book because she can remember all of her life even who her middle school teachers were and it seemed to me this book might be about what she imagines it would be like to not remember her past.

What I percieve to be the problem in this book is that she can not remember who she is or wht she was like in the past she can not even remember her own name!

Evidence:

One part that made me think that this book is important is the part where J.D. and Daniel are being shot at this made me think how important having her memory and life back really is to her being shot at is really a big risk so it also shows that she is willing to risk anything for her life and memory.

Connection:

This peice inspired me to go and read the sequel because this book made me want to find out more about the charcters. Also one connection this book has is to a TV show I have seen it is about a boy who wakes up just like J.D. and cannot remember anything about his past and is also willing to risk everything for his true identity to be revield except his memory is more sevierly damged than J.D.

Supposition:

Of J.D. never discoverd that the doctor and her mom were really not who they said they were and J.D. and Daniel never discoverd who and what they really were doing and plotting then J.D. probably would never had talked to Daniel again or worse yet she would be living a fake life for eternaty.

Make Lemonade Virginia Euwer Wolff

Significance
This book/work is important because it shows people that anyone can make a difference in somebody's life no matter who you are.
Perspective
It looks like the author is relating herself to the book by the way she writes the experiences of the characters for example when Jilly the baby chokes on a toy and her mother Jolly has to do CPR on her and call 911 it seems as if she remembering not telling.
Evidence
I have no evidence
Connection
this relates to the real world because someone could be in this position where you lost your job and you cant pay for rent you have to go to school and also take care of your kids or they can be in a situation where your trying real hard to help someone but they just wont let you help them.
Supposition
If Lavaughn never was looking for a job and didn't find the sign babysitting needed bad the Jolly would have never gotten the help she needed she would have had more of a disaster on her hands than she already had her kids might not have learned to read and wright she would have gone back to school and sh wouldn't have found a friend

Angelas Ashes Frank McCourt

Significance
This book/work matters because it shows that you should love your parents no matter what, it shows you should be thankful for what you have because some one could have less advantages than you or be in a worse situation that you
Perspective
Frank McCourt created this book as a memoir the time period was between the thirties and the forties beginning during the depression and world war two
Evidence
I have no evidence
Connection
This event does not effect us today
Supposition
I would have predicted that frank would have become stupid because of the way he was raised not going to school all the time but he actually became a really smart person. If i changed the situation and made franks father regular with no more drinking problems then frank would have had a better life being able to eat more than just tea and bread and would have had more opportunities in life he would also get to spend more time with his father .

Rascal by Sterling North

Significance
Rascal is about a adventurous little boy who stumbles upon a family of racoons and when he catches one the bond between the boy and the baby racoon begin. This book shows that friendship is worth more than you can ever imagine!
Perspective
I think that in this book the author was relating himself to one of the characters because Sterling North uses the same name for the little boy as his. Sterling (the little boy) has only his father which is usually away on business and both sisters live far so Sterlings family is really only his animals .
Evidence
Sterling and Rascal (his pet racoon) have an incredible bond but is letting Rascal back into the wild the right thing to do??? Is Sterling being selfish ?? Or is his little friend meant to stay in captivity forever?? Sterling must decide and make the right decision both answers will change his life forever.
Connections
Rascal and Sterlings bond connects to the real world because at some point in your life you have a strong bond with some one it could be your best friend your dog or cat your teacher or your sibling but every one has some kind of friendship.
Supposition
If Sterling never found Rascal and his family their never would have been a bond and sterling would not have to make a decision affecting a big part of his life.
