Reading skills
The book I'm currently reading is The List, by Siobhan
Vivian. In my story 8 girls in high school are put on a list. One girl from
each grade is picked as the ugliest. Another person from each grade is picked
as the prettiest. The principal would like the girls to come together and find
out who made the list and tries to encourage them to ignore the list and go
against it. I predict that the girls voted as the prettiest won't try to help
find the mastermind because they got an extra confidence boost. That person
made them popular also making them feel special. I also predict that some of the
girls who were voted the ugliest won't help either so they don't get even more
hate. They are most likely pretending that the list doesn't bother them, when it in fact does. I hope that at least half of the girls start to help track down the list
maker and take them down. I am curious if the maker is on the list. The
whole story would be turned around and surprise would be evident for the
readers if it were. This story relates to the book Thirteen Reasons Why, because
in that book the quandary that started it all was a paper that said Hannah Baker had the
nicest butt in freshman class. That one paper changed her life forever
and had major consequences just like how people started treating the ugly and
pretty girls differently. This book relates to my life because one little thing a person
does changes my outlook on them. If they do something very strange or
disgusting I will have the urge to judge them. This relates to the world by
everyone having certain points in their life where they feel major confidence
or major sadness. Being labeled as "ugly" or "pretty" is a
major issue that is still happening all around the world. If people start to
believe these things they could change their whole life for the better or for
the worse depending on the situation.
