Class Assignment - My Favourite Book


There are many books I've read over the years that I've enjoyed very much, but if I had to pick a favourite, it would be I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella. This book is about a girl named Poppy, who loses her antique engagement ring in a hotel fire drill and has her phone stolen soon after. When she finds an abandoned phone in a recycling bin and begins to read its messages and emails, she finds herself becoming closer to the phone's owner, Sam, when she starts to keep him updated on all the information being sent to his phone while she is borrowing it to use as a contact number for anyone who may find her lost ring. What I like most about this book is the clever, light-hearted humor and the consistent turns of events. The reason this book is my favourite is because there are so many plot twists near the middle and end that I had not even slightly predicted were going to happen while I was reading it. It always makes you genuinely think one thing is going to happen and then something completely different happens, leaving you on the edge of your seat throughout this entire story. I think people who like more comedic and sweet storylines/writing styles would enjoy this book the most, and would definitely recommend it to this type of reader!!

    Interesting concept--I am very nosy and love looking into people's lives so I would be hooked if I found a phone LOL. My favourite thing to do when I go for a walk is to look into people's windows and imagine what their life is like. I know it kind of makes me a creeper--probably TMI about your teacher LOL

How does a poet think?

How Does a Poet Think? Above is a photograph of a lemon with snow on it.  There are a number of poetry ideas that can come from this photograph.  Some include: The photograph shows a contrast – there is a bright tasting fruit with cold snow. This idea could be applied to poetry.  A poet might write a poem about two people, one who behaves brightly, and one who behaves coldly. There is the question of whether the snow will damage the fruit or the tree. The idea of unknown possible damage could be used in poetry.  A poet could think of many situations where there is a sense of uncertainty about potential negative consequences. Some might look at this photograph and see hope. Despite the snow, there is the fruit.  A poet could apply this idea of hope to different ideas. Some might look at this photograph and see despair. They might think it inevitable that the snow will damage the tree and fruit.  This idea of despair could be applied to diffe...

How Far is Too Far?

The freedom of speech seems like a basic human right. Though, some areas of the world have took this right away from their people. Here in Canada, it is obvious we fully approve of the freedom of speech by this being one of our greatest qualities, and one many are attracted to. It is hard to think that even the most accepting country has it’s limits. There are many cases where students and even teachers have been punished for what they have said. In many of these cases, there are just unpopular opinions, not even presented in a hurtful manner. As a student and citizen of Canada, I do believe all should have the freedom to speak, even if that is on a controversial topic. In the case of Alex Stone and Brendan Jones, both were students who were punished for their chosen assignment topics. These assignments were open to any topic and so students were lead to believe they could write about anything. Alex Stone chose to write about himself murdering his neighbor’s pet dinosaur w...

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (Class Blog Assignment #1) - Oksana

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price–and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone… A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first. If there was ever a book that seamlessly combined vivid world-building, a fast-paced plot and beautiful writing, it's Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, and its sequel, Crooked Kingdom. What really takes the cake, though, is the duology's characters, so that's what I'll tell you abo...
