My thought on Lemon Brown


I think this is a good story for kids who think that their parents are just being mean and are being persistent about working harder in their work and overall in life. When I first looked at the story I just didn't want to read it. I thought that I was going to hate but I learned not to judge stories by the cover.

This connects to homelessness because like when Lemon brown says that one day he was singing about the blues and the next poverty was tapping his shoulder. This is like when life seems like nothing can ever take you down but the next thing you know your lost in the dark shadows of gloom.

One thing that I found interesting was that Greg thinks that his dad is being annoying and not caring about his life. But later he starts to realize his dad Is doing what he did because he cares.

Greg changed by realizing that his dad cares about his Future. He doesn't want his son to have the life he has he wants his son to be successful in his life. He changed by the things that Lemon told his life and about his relationship with his son. He realized that parents do what they do because they care.

The Perks of Being A Wall Flower summary

I think the Perks of being a wall flower is now one of my favorite books.  Even though I say that with like with most of the books I read.
The Perks Of Being a Wall Flower is a story a book about a boy named charlie. He has no friends is a weirdo to peoples eyes and can't get the hold of his memories of the past. His aunt who dies when he was like 5 was the only person who he actually talked to. Little by little he starts to talk about how she died and what caused the death. He ends up making friends with patrick and Patrick's step sister (Sam). He doesn't expect to experience drugs,sexual relationships, relationships,and the feeling of being someone.
But with all of this, this can cause some trouble. The book is told in the perspective of him telling whats happening in his life and what happened to him in his Journal. I recommend this only to mature readers they discuss serious content and talk about drugs,sex and other things that are considered mature content.
