We All Looked Up Tommy Wallach Summary
Tommy Wallach, an author, and musician graduated from New York University's Gallatin School and Tisch School of the Arts and earned a master's degree in journalism from Stanford University (Tommy Wallach). The book we all looked up comes with a complimentary soundtrack that the author wrote himself. We all looked up is a total of 370 pages and it was published March 24, 2015. The book ended in a way where the readers would think there would be a series but the author chose to leave the readers hanging.
We all looked up goes deep into the high school experience with a hint of science fiction. There are four main characters, Anita, Eliza, peter, and die. Each of these characters hits the typical stereotypes in high school overachiever, slut, …show more content…
The author tries to show the readers that the bare bones of all involved are revealed, unlikely couples are formed, and true strength comes from the stuff that makes life really matter: friendship and love (we all looked up). The book recommends itself for 14 and up, which I agree because 14 is the age where you start to hit puberty and really discover yourself. The characters in the book really help you relate to yourself. In a way, we each have a stereotype that we wish to disentangle ourselves from. The characters make lots of choices that had moral implications that the readers would most likely be able to relate to in terms of making the same mistakes. The plot really captivated me because the author put the book with a theme of reality. This really made me think of my high school experience and the typical stereotypes that are thrown out there.
We all looked up is a book I would recommend to teenagers who are struggling there high school year. It would really benefit the readers by showing them that people can change whether it's in a good way or bad way. The big issue in the book would of course not affect high schoolers now but the small issues of romance and challenges

    Summary Of Sharon M. Draper's Tears Of A Tiger

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    How To Write An Essay On Freak The Mighty Book

    My opinion that this book was a little sad because Kevin (also known as Freak) had a disease that made him stop growing at three feet so he had to wear metal leg braces and crutches. Also in the beginning Max was a bully because in the beginning of the story Max was called Kicker because whoever touched him Max will hurt that person by punching and kicking him/her. The book also talks a lot about friendship and trust because when Freak and Max first saw each it was only for one afternoon and that afternoon they barely talked to each other but once years have passed, some how Freak moved next to Max’s emptied neighbors house (the only reason the house was empty because the old neighbor was still in jail) So after Freak got out…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    First-Part Last Symbols

    I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…

    Analysis Of The Secret Life Of Bees

    She gave the book a feel of being inspirational in they way she used vocabulary. “This is the autumn of wonders” the way Kidd uses the word autumn and wonders gives the sentence a wistful feel. “glided past T. Ray’s room in silence, sliding my arms and legs like a skater on ice.” Kidd uses a simile and many other literary devices to make her style and craft something to strive for. The quality of her writing is good, but I would say it seems aimed for a younger audience in the way its worded. Which seems strange because some of the content doesn't suggest its aimed for a younger audience. The pacing was efficient. It wasn't anything to marvel over, because in the middle the pace was very slow and in some parts painful to keep reading during. The theme is very strong and is one of my favorite parts of the story. The theme is almost hidden inside a single quote said by a character, but if you are looking for it the theme is clear as day. I think Kidd did an amazing job with creating a flawless theme in her…

    The Bondwoman's Narrative Analysis

    Receiving an education, unfortunately was not always a common occurrence for teenagers. Adolescents acknowledge schooling, books they can use, and knowledge they can acquire. However, they are beginning to become thoughtless, in result wasting their education. Considering the essential craving for knowledge in Hannah Crafts, “The Bondwoman’s Narrative” describes how difficult achieving an education was. Numerous teens are careless in putting themselves in the perspective of others who never had the opportunity to attend school frequently. Conversely knowing how difficult it was during the 1800’s, adolescents should have a passion for learning, to gain a broad education and to flourish with as much education as they can.…

    Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie

    One hundred years from now I believe this book will be read as it contains most problems faced by incoming freshmen in high school. The book is well written and is fun to read as the main character, Scott Hudson employs literary uses while he writes in his journal to his unborn sibling, who he calls Smelly of his high school experiences. Every teenager faces problems while in high school and some of them are addressed in this book. The issues that are evident in this book are friendship issues, school issues, family dynamics, transition from childhood to adulthood, and actions have consequences.…

    It is a very interesting piece of literature because the story is vague enough to create a heated debate whether she had an abortion or not in the end. We can make up the future of their relationships in our imaginations and how she might be going to live. It enabled us to figure out what the story were based on, and it showed us a very realistic feature of our very own world we live in and how some people are irresponsible and so self-centered.…

    What I enjoyed most about reading this book was the way the author introduced and described all of the characters. I had a great picture in my mind about each and every character and I felt myself thinking about some of them even when they were absent from a page or two. It became so interesting that before I could finish the book, I had to turn to the internet to look up the characters of the movie. I just had to see them in the flesh!…
