Nowhere But Up: My View

        In my last post I gave you a summary of the book Nowhere But Up. Now i'm going to tell you what I think of the book. I absolutly love this book! I feel like teenage girls and even guys can relate to the book one way or another. Whether you struggle with relationships, abuse, or depression, this book can inspire you. She has inspired me so much because she has gone through so much but still happens to always have a smile on her face. No matter what you go through, if you think of the positive and put the negatives behind you, your situation will get better.

      I feel like Pattie is a very strong women. Even if you dont like Justin Bieber, you would still like this book. If you want and inspiring story that will make you laugh, smile, and even cry, I recommend you read this. Patties story has taught me not to give up when you are put into tough situations, no matter how bad it is. Pattie raised Justin with little to nothing. She was a single mom who instead of worrying about school like normal 20 year olds, she is worried about paying the bills. So no matter how hard you feel struggles may be, alwasy rememeber that some people have it much worse. Take what you have for granted because one day it might not be there.

Last Blogger Reflection

Clickhere to view my best blog post
        I feel like this blog was well put together out of all of my blogs. I feel that it meets all the standards for a theme post. In this post I give a summary of the book. Also I gave a well written theme sentance that can relate to alot of people. Overall I believe this post shows alot of personal and emotional things going on in the story, which leads it to being a great post.
       One thing that I would like to work on in rerading is to read the book carefully and to annotate and think about the book more. One thing I would like to work on in writing is to give more emotion into a piece that i am writting and to not just have it be bland and boring. To improve my writing more I could use more words that have a better meanign then something like 'fun'. I can improve my reading by reading books that are more challenging to me. Also I could try to get more into a book or chose a book that icould probaly relate too not just something that looks, on the outside, good.
