On The Come Up by Angie Thomas - Should it be a TV series?

Why or why not would this story make a good television series?

On The Come Up by Angie Thomas would make a good TV series. I know the author wrote The Hate You Give and that turned into a movie. I haven't seen the movie or read the book though. I was planning on doing that last year but never got around to it. I'm glad I'm getting a chance to read a book by Angie Thomas though. This book has some very good lessons and realizations. I think this could be turned into a movie or a TV series. I think a TV series would be better though because you can have more lessons. I feel there are always lessons to learn about what life is like in a different place than you grew up. I never had to grow up with no food or worry about shelter. We know that in the story Briana was struggling to live. Her aunt had a job but let go and her dad had died a well-known rapper. For her, that was her escape from reality. A TV series would be able to take all the lessons that we have seen so far and make multiple scenarios. One thing that stood out to me was when Briana left the principal's office and her aunt told her how when bad things like that happen she needs to just do what they say. Also, that powerful people can make bad choices. In the world we live in right now these are too common issues. We have had deaths and a lot of problems. Racism has been an issue for as long as I have been alive but this year it's an extreme problem. We all know about the riots and the navy being involved and people not being treated right. These are all very good lessons to have in a TV show as well. There are so many ways that this can be taught to teens or children. I'm pretty sure there are some good shows on these situations but Angie Thomas became very popular with her book The Hate You Give. I am sure people would love to see another.

Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson- What does the title tell you about the book?

What does the title tell you about the book? Does it tell the truth What does the title tell you about the book? Does it tell the truth? The title of the books tells you a number of things. Most times titles are what bring s reader want to read a book. If the title isn't good maybe the illustrations are better. The title shows you what the book will be about and how the author might have written the book. B rown Girl Dreaming shows that it's about a girl dreaming. Kind of obvious but it also shows you something about the author. You realize that the author didn't name the book something simple. For example the life of Jaqueline Woodson. She wanted to make the title appealing to younger generations. Most kids don't like reading Nonfiction books but Woodson made it so it would be interesting to them. The book is pretty easy to understand and is in short chapters so you don't lose focus. The story still goes all together though even if they are separate verses/chapter...

Children of the Holocaust - Gisella Renate Berg

Initial Post: Hello, My name is Gisella Berg. I was on May 1, 1933, in a small village in Germany. I live with my parents, my sister, Igne, and my grandparents. My father worked as a cattle dealer and worked with jews and non-jew. My parents never let me go outside to play, they said it was too dangerous and they wanted to keep me safe. One day when I was 5 there was an event that happened called the night of the broken glass. I didn't go through it but a friend told my family about it. My family was scared. In May 1939 after I turned 6 we fled to Kenya for safety. When we got to Kenya I was still able to continue being educated with my sister. In 1947 we moved to the United States where my family started their own chicken farm. I got my high school diploma and in 1957 I married a man named Kurt Pauly who also had fled from Germany. Responses: Hi Gisella, I am glad your family was able to flee Germany and survive the war. My daughter and I also survived the war, but th...

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

For my blog this week I decided to reread the first chapter. The first chapter is interesting because it gives you an insight into Marji. we learn about her dreams and how she feels about the world. I feel that there a lot of things that happen within the first chapter. 1.The veils are required in schools. 2. The Islamic revolution starts 3. Bilingual schools are shut down 4. people were separated from their friends because they were of different sexes. 5. Marji tells us her dream of being a prophet, she also decided she wanted to write her own rulebook because she didn't like the new ones. 6. She tells other people her dream and they make fun of her so she decides to lie and say she wants to be a doctor when her parents ask her. 7. she also has a couple conversations with god about her dream of being a prophet and wanting to basically make the world a better place. Most of these things that happen that change Marji's life are because of the Islamic revolution and the cultural...
