Go Ask Alice

I have decided to read Go Ask Alice, mainly after the engaging conversation that we had in class today.  Moreover, it sounds like it would be a novel that would allow me to "get into it" and enjoy reading a non-fiction book(not normally my cup of tea).

I recomend "Lone Survivor"

I would recommend this book to AP students. If a student would enjoy an inspirational story of a hero and his time on an operation in Afghanistan, than this is a great book for them. However, this book does have some vivid details on how his friends died and it touches on religion, this could upset some people. All in all this is one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read.

Summary

The book “Lone Survivor” is an autobiography about a Navy SEAL named Marcus Luttrell. Marcus gives the reader a peak into his life. He talks about his training and most of all Hell Week. Even before that he tells about the training around the age fifteen with and ex-marine named Billy Shelton. This was when Marcus knew that he wanted to become a Navy SEAL. Marcus also goes into grim detail about the special operation in Afghanistan where his brothers in arms died. Moreover, he shows the reader what happened when people who are total strangers aided him in returning home.

What is the best chapter in "Lone Survivor"?

Chapter Eight- The Final Battle for Murphy’s Ridge is the best section for this book, because it is the part that contains the climax. Moreover, the chapter gets the emotions flowing to the point where a person couldn’t put the book down if they tried. However, his team does die in this chapter so it can get very sad with his description. This also adds to the part of not wanting to put the book down. Even though, this is a sad chapter it is the best written.

Tone of page 239

Page 239- The authors tone was strained and hopeless for half the page. Two of his friends were passing away right in front of him. While the second half was truthful and dismal. This was because he admitted that he could never get the screams of his friends out of his head.
