Alyssa’s comments from the Ms. Okes's Classes 2012 group.

The two books I read for my summer reading were: Dracula by Bram Stokers and also 1984 by George Orwell. Dracula was more of a historic take on what it might be like if you were Jonathan Harker, a realtor who goes to Transylvania to meet Count Dracula. Whereas 1984 is also a little later in history, but about a man named Winston who get's in trouble ith Big Brother, they're always watching him. I prefer Dracula over 1984 because it has a little more action and excitement.

One of my favorite books that I've ever read has to be, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, By Stephen Chbosky. It's full of relatable events about a boy named Charlie growing up and going through his highschool years. It tells in full detail about the quirky and interesting things that you might go through just like he did. I liked this book because it tells you straight up how it feels being a teenager and facing the exact same situations as Charlie did. This book is very relatable and very interesting:)I can't wait for the movie to come out, which is really soon.
