Redemption of Sarah Cane review

One of my all time favorite reads is Redemption of Sarah

Cane by Beverly Lewis.

Sarah is a goal driven writer for a newspaper.All she wants to do

is get a head in life.But something tragic happened that altered

her plans drastically.Her sister,who lives in Amish country,dies.

In her will,she leaves her kids with her.

When they return to their aunt's house,the quickly realized they were different.

With school,and technology they were shocked.In the mean time,Sarah had a

hard time with coming up with a story for her paper.But then,she started writing

about her nieces and nephews.Readers loved it! But sooner or later they found out,and they left.

Sarah missed them,though.So,she went back to Amish country

to beg for all of their forgiveness.They were hesitant,but they end they forgave each other,making for a happy

ending!

I love this book because you can see a genuine change in the main character,Sarah.Also,

it taught me some things about Amish culture that I did not know!

Pride and Prejudice review

I recently read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Pride and Prejudice is about three young sisters and their

battles with love. Jane,Lizzie,and Lydia go to a ball one evening.

Their was a man name named Mr.Bingly with his friend,Mr.Darcy. Jane fell head over heels for Mr.Bingly.

But Lizzie was turned off by Mr.Darcy's pride. A few days after,

the girl's creepy cousin,Mr. Collins came to visit.He proposed

to her a few day's later. She declined because she thought he was

creepy.Later,Mr.Darcy also proposed to Lizzie also!She also

declined because Mr.Darcy felt he had to love her.Even though all this was a surprise,nothing was as shocking as when the youngest sister,Lydia ran off and married her lover,Mr.Whickam! During this,Mr.Darcy really reached out to Lizzie.This made her falling in love with her. In the end,Lizzie marries Mr.Darcy,

Jane marries Mr.Bingly,and Lydia marries Mr.Whickam!

I liked this book because it shows how people acted,dressed,and talked back then!

Rating:A

Matilda review

I recently read Matilda by Roald Dahl.

Matilda is the daughter of the selfish,couch potatoes that she was

cursed to have as parents.Her mother gambles and her father sales stolen cars.They'd do anything to get ahead.(Even if that meant breaking the law!) But Matilda was a sweet,smart girl.

She loved to read! All she wanted to do was to go to school.

At first,her dad said no,but after he made a deal with the evil Mrs.Thruchbull,he changed his mind.She was evil.The only nice person at the school was her teacher,Miss.Honey.She was nicer than anyone Matilda knew.One day,Matilda discovered she had the ability to make things move just by looking at them!She used this power to get revenge on her parents and Mrs.Truchbull.She grew to like Miss honey so much,she ended up getting adopted by her!they all lived happily ever after!
