THE BOOK THAT i RECOMEND WOULD BE, UNTiL WE MEET AGAiN, BY ANNE SCHRAFF. THiS BOOK TAKES PLACE IN BLUFORD HiGH SCHOOL AND iT iS iN THE PRESENT. iTS ABOUT A GiRL NAMED DARCY, DARCY iS AFRiCAN AMERiCAN, SHE iS 16 YEARS OLD, SKiNNY, AND HAS CURLY BROWN HAiR. ANOTHER iMPORTANT CHARACTER WOULD BE HER GRANDMA, SHE iS AN OLD AFRiCAN AMERiCAN AND SHE HAD A STROKE NOT TO LONG AGO. THE LAST MAiN CHARACTER iS BRiAN, HE iS A 19 YEAR OLD BOY AND HE iS A PLAYER, HE IS DARK HANDSOME AND MUSCULAR. THE BOOK iS ABOUT DARCY AND HER BOYFRiEND HAS TO MOVE TO TEXAS BECAUSE HiS DAD iS SiCK AND HiS UNCLE PROPOSED A JOB FOR HiM. AND BEHiND ALL THiS HER GRANDMA iS PRACTiCALLY DYiNG. BUT THERE iS SOME LiGHT ON TOP OF ALL THiS THERE iS A BOY WHO CLAiMS HE LiKES HER AND SHE iS STUCK AND CONFUSED SO SHE HAS TO FiND A WAY TO SOLVE HER EMOTiONAL PROBLEMS! A REASON WHY THiS iS A GOOD BOOK iS BECAUSE, iT TALKS ABOUT TODAY PROBLEMS THAT MAY HAPPEN TO TEENAGERS, LiKE DARCY'S BOYFRiEND iS MOViNG AWAY THAT iS A PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOW A DAYS, AND MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN RELATE TO THAT. ANOTHER REASONE WHY THiS iS A GOOD BOOK WOULD BE BECAUSE, iTS REALLY EASY TO RELATE AND TO FEEL CLOSE TO THE CHARACTERS, WHEN DARCY AND HER BOYFRiEND HAVE THE CONVERSATiON ABOUT HiM LEAViNG AND YOU iMAGiNE THAT YOU ARE iN HER POSiTiON THEN YOU FEEL HER PAiN AND iT MAKES YOU FEEL AS YOU WERE ONE OF HER VERY BEST FRiENDS. THE LAST REASON WHY THiS iS A GOOD BOOK iS BECAUSE iT iS SO EXCiTiNG iT MAKES YOU WANT TO KEEP ON READiNG BECAUSE OF THE SUSPENCE. LiKE ON THE THE TiME WHEN THE BOOK SAiD THERE WAS AN AMBULANCE PARKiNG iN FRONT OF HER HOUSE iT MAKES YOU WANT TO KEEP READiNG TO FiND OUT WHAT HAPPEND. UNTiL WE MEET AGAiN, iS A VERY GOOD BOOK, i RECOMEND iT.

i WOULD LiKE TO CHANGE THE ENDiNG iN THE BOOK, "A CHiLD CALLED iT," i WOULD CHANGE THE PART AT THE VERY END WHEN DAVID GOES INTO THE NAVY, i DiDNT LiKE iT BECAUSE ALL iT DiD WAS MESS UP THE FLOW AND IT SEEMED LiKE HE JUST SLAPPED AND ENDiNG ON. iN THE BOOK THE AUTHOR iS USUALLY EXPRESSiNG HOW THE AUTHOR FEELS AND HiS THOUGHTS BUT IN THE END ALL HE SAiD WAS THiS iS WHERE A NEW ADVENTURE BEGiNS. iF i COULD CHANGE iT i WOULD ADD iN SOMETHiNG LiKE THE DAY BEFORE i GOT ON THE MY FiRST DAY AT MY NEW JOB, AN UNEXPECTED PHONE CALL CAME. AND THEN THEY SHOULD DO ANOTHER CONVERSATiON WiTH HiS MOM WHERE HiS MOM ACTUALLY TELLS HiM SHE LOVES HiM AND THAT EVEN THOUGH SHE NEVER TOLD HiM SHE DID, SHE ALWAYS DiD. THEN THEY SHOULD SAY SOMETHING LiKE THAT WAS THE DAY i ACTUALLY FOUND THE LOVE i WAS LOOKiNG FOR AND NEVER REALiZED iT WAS ACTUALLY THERE. THE REAL ENDiNG iS ABOUT THE NAVY, i DONT SEE THE POiNT iN THAT BECAUSE THE WHOLE POiNT OF THE STORY WAS TO SAY HOW HE WAS TRYiNG TO FiND THE LOVE OF HiS MOM. BUT THE FACT THAT THE STORY WAS BASED ON REAL LiFE i GUESS i CAN'T CHANGE NOTHING.

WHEN i THiNK ABOUT KiDS BEiNG ABUSED BY THEiR MOTHER iT REMiNDS ME OF THE BOOK, "A CHiLD CALLED iT." BECAUSE iN THiS BOOK DAViD GETS BEATEN BY HiS MOM. HiS MOM YELLED FOR DAViD AND SHE PUNCHED HIM SLAPPED HiM AND PiNCHED HiM, WHiLE DAViD WAS DEFENCELESS. THiS MADE ME UNDERSTAND THAT iN THE BOOK DAViDAND HiS MOM DON'T HAVE A REALLY GOOD REALATiONSHiP. AND HOW DAViD'S MOM REALLY DOES HATE HiM TO DEATH. iT ALSO HELPED ME REALiZE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF KiDS RiGHT NOW THAT ARE ABUSED OR ARE BEiNG ABUSED BY THEiR PARENTS.
