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
