English class week 2
Book Choise 

Our task today was to choose one of seven different books and read them until the end of the semester. The books we could choose about are The Hunger Games by Susan Collins, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, Twice Toward Justice by Claudette Colvin, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.  

My choice is The Hunger Games because I have heard the book is amazingly fun to read. There’s also a movie based on the book, and as you already may know, people often make movies based on good books, not the bad ones.

    Your post caused a debate in class. Some of us have just seen the film and some of us have read the book as well. Those of us that have read the books thought they were better as they built up the characters and went into more depth.

      Well, I haven't seen the movie so I really can't tell which one is better; the movie or the book. But in most case scenarios the movie is a bit poorer than the book it is based on. When you read a book, different images can be made up in your head, but when your watching a movie, only one picture can be seen and that is the one you see on the TV screen. Books are also perceived differently from people to people, and that's just another reason why I like books more than the movies that are based on them.

      I can't believe I wrote your instead of you're. I thought this was a mistake that I would never make, but everyone makes mistakes, right? :P

    Hi Dimitrije,

    One of our students, Jacob Kipp, tried to leave you a comment on this post but ran into a technical issue. I am trying to work it out. So, don't mind these deleted posts. Thanks,
