Note to Mrs. Moore; I’m so sorry! I apologize for the lateness of my paper. You’re the best! By the way, the plot was extremely complex so I couldn’t do it without so much detail. SORRY! D:

The Host
By Myah Dalton

A riveting dystopian novel with dreamed up characters, Melanie and Wanderer, written into something amazing by Stephanie Myer becomes the extraordinary book, “The Host.” In a land thousands of years from now there is an earth, among this earth is a civilization occupied by human bodies, but their minds are occupied by peacekeeping, for lack of a better word, aliens. They call themselves souls and they live in, basically, a utopian society, where arguing, fighting, dishonesty, and aggression are a foreign topic to the souls, but there is a resistance, a group of humans who are fighting against them. Melanie Stryder is a part of this resistance and when she gets caught, Wanderer is the host inserted inside to find out where the resistance is located. As Melanie strives to keep her loves ones safe, she forces past memories of her lover Jared and her little brother Jamie into Wanderer’s thoughts. Soon, Wanderer is yearning for the relationships that she has never experienced and feels a new desire to protect them also. Melanie and Wanderer abandon the city in search for the love they’re both dying to have. Stephanie showed me that even in the most desperate times; love can fight the hardest battles.
As Melanie and Wanderer travel into the deserts of Arizona, they only have one thing keeping them motivated, Jared and Jaime. With only as much water as they can carry on their one back and two granola bars they venture. The only thing they have to go by are the lines Melanie’s Uncle Jeb drew for her so long ago. Unfortunately, the thirstier and hungrier they become, the more their determination ceases. The last tear never comes as the heat dries it before it has the chance to fall. They rest at the only tree in the desert and accept death for what it is.

    I read the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. The story begins in a small town in Sterling, New Hampshire. At the high school, you read about a routine day of students in classes.

    Kody Scott grew up in South Central L.A. during the nineteen-sixties and seventies, soon after the creation of the Crips. Raised in poverty without a father, and a full family raised solely by his mother, Kody Scott led the stereotypical "ghetto" life, a poor and broken home. However he does not blame this on his own personal decision to join the Crips while only eleven year's old. The allure of the respect and "glory" that "bangers" got, along with the unity of the "set"(name for the specific gang) is what drew him into the gang. Once joined, he vowed to stay in the "set" for life, and claimed that banging was his life. After many years of still believing this, he eventually realized that the thug life was no longer for him, and that gangs were a problem on society and the "Afrikan" race(page 382-383).…
