Among The Betrayed

     I finished my book "How I Live Now" and was reading a boo's calledk called "Among The Betrayed"  but it's really not that well. It's about a young girl who is confuse. The society they she lives in is where each family has to have two children and if they had more, that child would have to die. Since Nina Idi was young she has been had scary dreamn about people killing and waking up all scared. Nina is the third child in her family and in her lifetime there are only supposed to be two children in the family. Soon as i got into the stroy she was arrested by the population police. They found out that she was a third child from her family and so they had to take her away.

      That is how far i got from the story aind i gave up because it wasn't interesting. Now i am about to read a new book called "Speak" well from i heard it was good. It's about a young girl name Melinda Sordino and she went to a party when she was in eigth grade. Towards the end of the night she was rapped by and solder guy who goes to high school and when she went to high school no one would talk to her. They thought she was sleeping with everyone so they didn't want to talk or see her. Once school started she was invisable and she couldn't tell no one because they thought she would be lying.

     Even her cloeses friends wouldn't talk to her they thought she was nasty. So through the whole school year school year she was teased and redicule for something she didn't even do. Her parents didn't know she was rapped but they knew that something was wrong with her and when they kept asking sif anything was wrong she would denie it. The boy that rapped her keeps bugging her and he keeps bringing up the past and how it was good and all that and that boy is going out with best friend well ex friend. He doesn't care, and one day she told her ex-best friend what happened and she didn't believe her and that made the situation more worst.

       By the end of the year she was about to rapped again by the same guy because he was mad that she told his girlfriend and so he tried to rape her. She was screaming so loud that a couple of girls heard her and saved her and beat that guy up. Now people understand what really happened and why she was acting the way she is. Her bestfriend felt so ashame and felt bad too.

How I Live Now

     Hey I'm still reading How I Live Now it is really good that i am taking my time the book, I love it so much. I'm at the part where there is a war going on in England and Daisy and her family are suffering from all what is going on and they are homeless with no food as well. The can't really do anything because the war crew is strict about their protection so now no one can leave the country until the war is over. Everyone is locked in their own house and they cut off the electricity, closed all store, and etc. I feel bad because Daisy and her family is another place where they really can't do anything and her aunt isn't around to help. The relationship between Daisy and Edmond is complicated what is going on around them they can't stable their relationship.
    
     Daisy thinks about her past and how she took it for granted and realizes what she has ain't worth nothing and the only thing that matter is is family, and that is the one thing she is concerns about. Even though the war is going on the family sticks together until the end. They help each other out and Pepi still gives Daisy anything that she needs from the beginning.



     As the war is going on the family is wondering what is the point of the war and think if they will die because you can hear bombs going off like 5 feet away. They worry that they might and think what happens to the other family and ask why would they make the other family and themselves suffer from something they didn't do. So now they are waiting for the war to be over so they could go home.

How I Live Now

     I'm still reading my choice book and i love it so much it is so good and it has it's own fantasy. So far I'm am like half way close to finishing the book, and I'm at a place where Daisy the main character is trying to deal with the war that is going on around her and the family. Other then that she is having the most feeling for her older cousin Edmond more like a relationship type and she can't handle herself with that. Allot is going around her and she doesn't know what to do but she doesn't really care about the war all she is feeling is calmness. 
     
     The war that is going on is the WW1 and she is like trying to wonder why is there a war and what is the point of it. A random war fighter cam to their house and he was them a million question like " how many people live here?, does the roof leak?, how many rooms in the house?, how many outbuildings?, and etc." Mostly Edmond answered and so the guy left  and Daisy and her family went swimming and forgot all about out that situation. They really don't care about it.


     The relationship between her and edmond are going serious and creepy because they are cousins. She doesn't know what to do or how to deal with that. She have kissed and done other things with him while the family is asleep. She never thought this would ever happened and yet this changed her life totally. 


     She is going through allot and so is her family and they are just having fun forgetting about life and be themselves. So yeah she is having fun while there is a lot going on.

How I Live Now

     I'm still reading How I Live Now and it's is really good. This story is going more in depth now it is talking about how Daisy the main character is having some type of feeling for her cousin Edmond. Her feeling for him is serious because she has never felt that way before and she is liking it even though it is a weird situation. 


     In other parts of the story she is dealing with the war that is occurring at that moment and how it effect her in every-way. She is trying to understand what is the point of the war and how it effects the adults but not the children. 
  
  

  Daisy keeps bringing up her past from her home town and how she barley misses it because she is loving it in England with her new family. Her dad called her and asked her if she wanted to come back home and she said no right away. Daisy dad felt really bad for brining her to England and now she doesn't want to come back. So he said that he will send her money and that was the last time they talked. 



     Other then that she is enjoying herself and having fun with the rest of her cousins and aunt Pen.

How I Live Now

     This book is by far the best book i've read in awhile, i love it it's so good. It'z a girl name Daisy who lives in England with her cousins who she barleys knows and she has to live with them becauseshe was having issues with her parents in hber home town New York. So she had to go live with her cousins in England, but she is having a good time with them and she truly loves them like she's known them forever. She had a couple adventure with them and the big one is when they went camping behind their yard and did everything like you do in camping making your own food, making a fire, and etc. She is having a blast and she is home schooled she’ve always wanted that and she has cousins that takes care of her when she doesn’t want to be bother, but she appreiciates it so much that she doesn’t care that she is being bothered. So basically this is what I’ve read so far and I can’t wait to read the rest of the book. ;)
