Shatter Me - due 3/23



I find myself very amazed that I an so interested in this book series... It is more of a sci-fi, fantasy genre which I normal do not enjoy reading, but this book... WOW. This book is like The Hunger Games, but not like The Hunger Games. This book is like the Divergent series, but not like the Divergent series.

I have finished Shatter Me, Destroy Me (the novella, 1.5) and I just finished Unravel Me. I'm excited to read Fracture Me, the second novella that Tahereh Mafi has wrote, as 2.5, then to read Ignite Me, the conclusion to the series and continue onto reading Juliette's journal.

The series is about a girl, Juliette who has spent her entire life excluded from the world; she has a gift/curse. She soon finds there are many, many others like her. Many other people who have an Energy as she does, and as she continues on she finds everyone she'd never think possible, also have a gift. Juliette is forced to focus on something other than herself for the safety of her love, Adam and others. But soon, things get complicated and life gets even harder than before.

As a side note, I don't think I have ever loved a series more than this. I have never wanted a book adaptation into a TV series or movie more than ever. I have never read 2 full books and 1 whole novella in the course of 7 days. Shatter Me has easily become my new favorite series, without a doubt.

P.S.: I'm so rooting for Adam!

Satire Example



This satire example is caricatures. I know so because in caricature, the artist exaggerates facial expressions in which the artist of this cartoon shown does the same. The expressions of the boys' faces shows their attitude towards high school drop outs, where the cartoon begins to make fun and sarcastically speak of the the statistics facing the amount of high schools drop outs.
