I think Paper Towns is a character driven book and a plot driven book. I think it is both because this book is based on two teens going on a crazy adventure but it is also how the characters end up and how they change throughout the book.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is mainly a book about friendship and sadness. Charlie is a wallflower unto two kids come into Charlie's life and change it. Sam and Patrick help him enjoy first love, friendship, and music. When Sam and Patrick leave for college Charlie becomes very sad and his confidence soon begins to shatter.

I think that The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a charecter driven book. I think it is character driven because it is about Logan always watching from the sidelines and being a wallflower until two students, Sam and Patrick help him break free from his shell.

I have just started to read this book and I think it is really going to be a book that I am going to like. It is really dramatic in a good way and it is a coming of age book to me. It is about teens growing up and dealing with real life struggles.

I think that the book The Outsiders more of a character driven book than a plot driven book. I think it is more character driven because the author focuses on the people in the Greasers and the Socs, the two rival gangs. I think the author shows more of what is happening to the people in the gangs than making events happen. I think this book could be both character or plot driven.

In The Outsiders many themes are shown. These themes include, friendship and coming of age. This story also follows two rival gang groups, the Socs and the Greasers. I really enjoy everything that goes on in this book and I think it is really interesting.

I have just started to read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. So far it is a great book and I really enjoy it. I cannot really tell when this book takes place. It think it might have taken place in the sixties because of the use of the word greaser. I think I will really enjoy this book and hopefully find out when the book takes place.

In Mindy's book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? The main purpose for Mindy is to become a famous comedy writer and actress. Mindy has achieved both of these by writing for The Office and actin on it. She also has a t.v. show going on right now called the Mindy Project that she acts on and writes for.

I chose to read Mindy Kalings book, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" because I enjoyed watching her on The Office and I enjoy watching her on her fairly new show, The Mindy Project. I also really admire her for being so strong while following her dream of becoming a writer and actress. She did not have the easiest time while following her dreams but she was strong and I admire her for that.

I really enjoy the writing style of this book. I like it more because it is an autobiography and I feel as if I can relate to her on some levels. Not only is this book just about Mindy's life so far and her childhood it has a lot of humor in it. While I'm reading it I find myself laughing at the story's of her childhood and the story's of her becoming a writer for the show The Office and then soon having her own show

This book is all about a girl named Keeper trying to find her biological mother. Keeper is very determined and has a lot of courage. If she wasn't so determined to find her mother then she would have never had the courage to plan everything out and set out on an amazing journey to find her. I think these qualities really reveal that if Keeper wanted to do something she could do it because of her determination.

I don't think that Keepers time and place effects the events in the book. I don't think it really effects the events in the book because I feel of a girl or boy in any time period or any place in the world would set out to find their mother if they were determined enough. Maybe Keeper has more technology when it comes to boating, but a girl or boy in any time or place could set out to find anyone they want to.

At the end of the book Keeper, I think Keeper will end up finding her mother. I think when she finds her mother it will be a very happy ending. I am kind of skeptical of Keeper's real mother. I wonder if she is actually a real mermaid. I think at the end of the book Keeper will reunite with her mother but her mother will not be who Keeper thinks she is.

I think Keeper is a plot driven book. I think Keeper is a plot driven book because the story is about Keeper finding her mermaid mother. Keeper can only try to search for her mother during a blue moon. If she misses the blue moon there is no chance in her finding her mother. Of course Keeper grows during this book but this book is about her finding her mother so it is a plot driven book.

Keeper is a book about a girl named Keeper who is trying to find her mermaid mother who swam away seven years ago. She lives with Signe her guardian who has been taking care of her ever since her mother left. Keeper makes money by working for a friend and a neighbor. She waxes surfboards for him at his surf shop. Keeper is very to determined to find her mother and will do anything it takes.

The book Unbroken is an amazing story about the courage of a soldier. A lot of the events in this book are about bravery and courage but there are also some sad or meaningful events. One of the events that I thought was meaningful was when Louie and Phil moved to separate camps. I thought thus part was sad because they were best friends and the only familiar faces they see everyday and now they can't have that.

So far Unbroken is an amazing book. I like it because it is a story of bravery and how he is surviving tough conditions and being away from home for such a long time. Another reason why I like this book is because not only is it about a soldier being captured but the solider was an Olympic runner which makes the book much more interesting and it keeps me guessing.

The event that surprised me the mist in this story was when Louie and Phil were captured by the japenese. This might not seem so surprising at first but the surprising part was that Louie and Phil were almost free from the tiny raft but right before they were getting off the raft to the island the japenese spotted them and captured them. I was shocked and when this happened because they were so close to freedom.

In unbroken it is not just one character who is unsympathetic but it is many different people. The characters who I don't like are the Japanese. I don't like the Japanese because they are cruel towards Louie. They don't take any mercy on him when they capture him. I don't understand why they are so rude and cruel.

"Unbroken" is a biography because it is the story of Louie Zamperini's life. I know that this book is a biography because the author is Laura Hilenbrand and the book is about Louie Zamperini's life and is not written by him.

The book Unbroken is character driven. Even though it is a World War 2 book it focuses on an Olympic runner, Louis Zamperini. I haven't read much of it yet but in back of the book it tells the story if him and his life and the events he had to go through.

At the end of "If I Stay" Mia wakes up from the coma after Adam sings her a song. After she wakes up from the coma the book ends. I think if there were to be a sequel Mia would get the acception letter to Juliard. I think Adam will put his band career on hold and move with her so she's not alone.

In this book the main character is Mia. Mia's parents were into rock and roll and expected Mia to follow in there footsteps. Instead of following the path of rock and roll she chose cello. Mia is pretty much a cello prodogie and is trying to get into Juilliard

"If I Stay" is about about a teenage girl named Mia. She plays the cello and is very good. Mia is trying to get into the music school Juilliard. She is very close friends with a boy who plays guitar in a band. One snowy day Mia and her family decide to take a trip to there family's house. They get in a very serious car accident and her parents die but she is fighting for her life. This book is very good so far.

Looking for Alaska was a very interesting book. I thought it was very shocking that Alaska had died in a car crash. It was a complete mystery and the boys tried to find put what happened. I also thought it was a very interesting/weird because some events that took place in the book were kind of hard to read.

In "Looking for Alaska" the main characters name is Miles a boy from Florida moving to Alambama to attend a boarding school. Miles never really fit in in his hometown. When he meets his new friends at boarding school he finally becomes the person he wanted to be all along.

The book "Looking for Alaska" is very interesting so far. The book is written very descriptively and good but the story is kind of a weird story and I don't really like it.

In Looking for Alaska so far it is about a boy named Miles moving away from his family to go to a boarding school. His new boarding school is located in Birmingham, Alabama at the Culver creek Preparatoryschool.

In this book I feel like I personally connect with the main caracheter, Thomas. I feel this way because because he wants to find a way go get out if the maze and he is determined. I feel like I would be determined to find a way out of the maze for me and the people with me. I keep reading this book because it is really interesting and it just keeps getting better and better throughout the book.

The main problem in this book is escaping and getting through the maze. Thomas and all the others in the story need to get through the maze so they can be free. The only problem is getting through there are many huge monsters trying to then throughout the night if they go in there.
