December 20, 2008See No Evil, by Diane Young is a book about a boy who sees someone gets beat up. The main character is Shawn. This book takes place a city. Shawn’s main internal struggle is if he should tell the police what he saw. His external struggle is that the people who beat up the person he saw are after him.
During my time reading this book, I made a text-to-world connection. People often times see something that someone does and don’t say anything. But the people that are doing the bad thing catch another person watching them and they go after them. This is the same thing that happened to Shawn. Even though this happened to Shawn he still learned that it’s better to tell someone than to keep it to themselves.
I would give this book 4 stars. I liked the characters. I also like the message of the story. The only problem I had with this book is that it was too easy for me. I would recommend this book to someone who likes to read about people who over come a fear.

This book is about a boy(shawn) and his friend (daniel) sees a kid getting beaten up by a locally infamous gang member at the mall but they were too scared to tell anyone like their family or the police because they thought they would get beaten up like the kid at the wall. I chose this book because it looked very interesting and because i like these type of realistic books. Diane Young is the author or see no evil and she is a writer and editor who lives in Toronto, Canada.
Shawn and Daniel witness an assault behind the local mall and recognize one of the attackers as a locally infamous gang member. When Shawn Daniel saw the kid was attacked, and when they saw that the kid was in critical condition. Shawn wanted to go to the police and Daniel thinks they are more in danger if they speak up to the police then Shawn and Daniel soon realize how dangerous secrets can be. Shawn has mixed feelings if he should tell the cops or not, and Daniel is just scared to tell the police because he thinks he will get beaten up just like the kid at the mall.
Both of the characters change when they both realize secrets are dangerous to hold on to.
In my opinion I think the boys in the book were very stupid for keeping secret until one of them got beat up. I just think they should’ve told the police or to their family more sooner. But I recommend this book because this book could be very good for people who keeps a lot of secrets in their minds but overall I really enjoyed reading this book so I recommend it. And I can’t compare to any other books by same author because I haven’t read any of her other books. But I would love read her other books because “see no evil” was very good!

I think this is important for kids to know the dangers of young life and see warning signs. It was not like some masterpiece but definitely did it's job.

See No Evil , by Diane Young published 2006
I really liked this book because it is about a mystery and I personally find mysteries interesting and entertaining to read. This book is about witnessing an assault in the local mall by a gang member that Shawn and Daniel knew who he was but that do not want to speak up and tell the police because they were threaten by the gang member to death is said a word to the police.Shawn wanted to speak up because he is a teen who like to say the truth and wanted to let out and wanted to feel safe , but knowing the circumstances of him having to take care of his little brother he could not leave because he was a tater tell and would tell his dad that he had been alone and with the grumpy person he was he would ground Shawn . Daniel in the other hand he did not wanted to say a word because he was scared he would die and he decide to stay quiet to not risk his life. After thinking of the worst that can happen Shawn decides to speak up!
This book is a fiction story to give the message to kids and teens to not be scared to tell the truth and do the right thing no matter what. The setting of the book takes place in a city, i know because the main setting were the incident happened was in a mall and they lived in apartment. Reading level for this book is between 6th and 8th grade. Main character in the book is Shawn a teen boy who goes to high school but everyday after school he has to take care of his little brother.leaving him with no time to hangout during weekdays and most of the weekends to due to his dad's bad humor of getting mad and grounding him if he leaves his brother alone leaving Shawn with multiple responsibilities. In my opinion his book is really catchy and you will want to keep reading it because every chapter gets more interesting. One thing i did not like about the book was that at the end i felt like i wanted more information of what happened, other that that the book is great to read and plus it pretty short not long so it is not time consuming.

Reading level 2.2 Interest level: Middle School
Potential hot lava:
General response/reaction:
This book was probably my least favorite that I have read so far. I can see though how it is used for people who cannot read well, because it is an easy read and the sentences are very short. I could not see myself teaching this book to the whole class, but I would definitely allow on of my reluctant reader students to read this book or another orca book instead.
Subjects, Themes, and Big Ideas:
Single parent home, Growing up to fast, Doing the right thing, trusting the police, friendship, puppy love
Characters:
Shawn – The main character in this book. He takes care of his little brother a lot and because of that he is expected to grow up fast.
Ethan – Shawn’s little brother who is always glued to the TV and sometimes bratty, but he is just a kid so he’ll grow out of being a brat
Daniel – Shawn’s best friend who ends up getting beat up by gang members.
Damien Sykes – head guy of a gain who Shawn and Daniel witnessed them beating up someone.
Father – Works a lot and for that he puts a lot of responsibility on Shawn. He is a good father though but is just struggling supporting his family.
Maya – A new girl at school that is cute and likes Shawn
Plot summary:
The plot of this book is less in-depth then any of the books I have read this semester. Two boys Shawn and Daniel are walking home from school and they go past the mall and in the ally they see graffiti on a wall saying “see no evil” then as they are walking home they cross three guys that are huddled around another guy who is on the floor bleeding. The three gang members look up and see that Daniel and Shawn have witnessed them attacking someone so they chase them, but Daniel and Shawn outrun them to safety. They then go home but this whole situation has them really shook up, because they are scared the gang members may come after them. They fake sick, but then return to school (Shawn returns to school first). Later though Daniel and Shawn decide to meet up and together call the police, and tell them what they have seen. The only problem is Shawn can’t find Daniel where they were supposed to meet at the mall. He searches everywhere for him and then he finds him and sees that two of the gang members are with Daniel. Shawn then goes and gets the mall security and it saves Daniels life though he has to be hospitalized. In the end they tell the authorities the truth and the two gang members are arrested. To Shawn’s relief he doesn’t have to worry about them for now anymore.

General response/reaction:
I enjoyed reading this book. The plot was able to keep my attention throughout the entire book. I believe that teenagers today could easily relate themselves to the protagonists.
Subjects, Themes, and Big Ideas:

gang violence

Damien Sykes – gang leader who helps to assault Daniel and another
Plot summary:
This story starts out with the two main characters, Daniel and Shawn, taking a shortcut home. As they walked down the lane behind the mall, they notice two men assaulting a third man on the ground. The two men spot Daniel and Shawn as they run away. The two boys spend the next couple of days constantly looking over their shoulders. Shawn is confronted by Wendell in an awkward manner. To add even further to Shawn’s problems, he lost his student ID the night of the assault.
Strengths (including reviews and awards):
An ORCA Outstanding Book for Young Readers
Drawbacks or other cautions:
This book tends to have moments that could be too much for the younger reader. The violent content also keeps this book reserved for older students.
Teaching ideas:
I would begin by having the students do a prewriting activity prior to reading the book. We would discuss cliché’s in high school, and what cliché’s the students categorized themselves as being included in. The students would then do a journal entry on what we had discussed. From there, we would read the book, and discuss gang violence over the course of it. I would have the students do some work with the newspaper, and other media sources. They would do research on gang violence and its repercussions. Once we had finished the book, the students would be instructed to discuss some ideas on how they could raise awareness about gang violence. They would be instructed to brainstorm and plan a community fundraiser to raise money and awareness for the prevention of gang violence.

Young, D. (2006). See no evil. Victoria, BC: Orca Book Publishers.
Characters: Shawn Morrissey (male, protagonist, narrator). Daniel (male, Shawn’s buddy). Ethan (Shawn’s brother).
Themes: Bullying, Honesty, Coming of Age
Genre (assignment tags): ETEC 545 Class 6, High School Hi-Lo
Summary: After leaving the mall, Shawn and his friend Daniel, witness two gang members beating down another young man. Shawn and Daniel escape back toward the mall, but are now met with a tough decision, whether or not give up the gang members to the police -- as they’re scared of retribution. Shawn lost his ID card while evading the scene, and the police bring him in for questioning. The two stay home from school for awhile waiting for any perceived heat to die down, but both are met with intimidation from other gang members as soon as they return. Eventually Shawn and Daniel agree to discuss coming forward with the proper information to the authorities, but Shawn discovers that Daniel is taken down by the same gang members. Shawn shows up in time, brings the police with him and saves Daniel (though he needs to be hospitalized).
Target Audience: Hi-Lo High School Readers, Reading Level: 2.1 - Interest Level: Grades 10-12
Curriculum Ties: Story building, Chapter book, Character Development (based on choices) - also: Author language/description choices (for higher reading level students)
Personal response: This was my first ever Hi-Lo read. While the story didn’t appeal to me as a reader, I was very interested in the sort of choices the author made in conveying the story (specifically what sort of descriptions and language choices were appropriate in order to meet a lower reading level but a more YA interest level). While I’d need to do a more thorough examination of the text, I think presenting the story to readers at a higher reading level (even college-level English or Education students) and having them dissect the choices the author made in presenting the material may be an interesting activity (other people have done similar things like this now that I do a couple Google searches).

The main characters of this book are Shawn and Daniel. When they went home one day, they saw some gangs beating someone. And they ended up letting the gangs see them. Yes, they did run home safely, but now they are afraid to go out and go to school. So they both acted to be sick for a while. At last they decide to go to the police and so they want to meet up in a place. But when Shawn got there, he couldn't find Daniel. Daniel got beaten up by the gangs. At last, Daniel got hospitalized. At the end, the gangs got arrested and they don't need to worry about their safety anymore. I think this book is very advanturous and exciting. People who enjoy reading short books like me should read this book.

See No Evil was a short story that took about an hour to read. I did not find anything special about the story. Basically: Boy sees crime. Boy gets threatened by criminals. Another crime happens. Boy finally helps. And somewhere in the middle girl likes boy. I did not feel that there was anything to make this book different or exciting.

How do i read the book?
April 28, 2017
In See No Evil by Diane Young, Shawn and Daniel are walking home from school when they witness a brutal gang beating behind the local mall. And when the two young boys try to keep quiet about what they seen, members of the gang find them and make sure that Shawn and Daniel keep their mouths shut.
This book had numerous ups and downs, twist and turns as to how the book was arranged. At times the dialogue was a bit confusing it also had that OH-MY GOSH type of dialogue. I also had a connection to the book because in many real world problems, lots of people keep quiet as to what they seen in order for them not to get harmed. See No Evil captured my eyes from the start from its strong imagery, its strong suspense and its strong ability to give that I-can-relate-to-what-the-characters-are-feeling type of setting. The book is as good as when i see a baked potato with cheese, sour cream, butter, bacon, ham and a nice cold drink! See No Evil was a thrill-stopping-jaw-dropping book and when you begin to get into the book and actually feel what the main characters are feeling, you’ll be suck to the book like glue. While reading See No Evil you’ll start to mentally visualize every scene and every little word the characters say and the feelings they express and once you start reading you won’t be able to stop (unless a teacher or your parents tell you to do so LOL).
Overall this book was great and i truly recommend it for anyone from small (not to small) children to young adults.
