summer post 4

The book I chose to read for my summer project was Stolen by Lucy Christopher. It is about a 16 year old girl named Gemma who gets abducted by Ty and brought out into the middle of nowhere with just him. I chose to read this book because it seemed interesting and intriguing because of the kidnapping and I like those kind of books. Even though I cant say I related to it a lot because I have never been in a situation like being kidnapped or anything like that I still enjoyed reading this book because the plot kept advancing and kept me interested.
If I had to recommend this book I would recommend it to people who like suspense and a little bit of mystery. Because what you think he is going to do to her is not what ends up happening and you start to feel for both of them and not just Gemma. I would also recommend this book to people who like crime stories because obviously she gets abducted. I would not call this one of my favorite books because I could not relate to it that much I still found it interesting and think that people should give it a try.

"There were no buildings. No roads. No people. No telephone wires or side walks. No anything. Just emptiness. Just heat and horizon. I dug my fingernails into the palm of my hand, and waited for the pain that told me I wasn't in a nightmare," (Christopher, 19). This reading was from a section of the book Stolen by Lucy Christopher. This was right after she had gotten kidnapped and is notices, well trying to notice her surroundings and find out where she now is. She is scared and now she knows she is alone because there are no signs of civilization anywhere around her, which means that no one is around to help her escape.
Also in this section she uses a lot of alliteration with the repetition of the word no at the beginning of most of the sentences. The sentence lengths are short which keeps your attention and makes a statement. The diction is also more simple here making it not difficult to understand what her situation is at this part in the story. I chose this section because it is intriguing, it adds suspense and mystery making you want to find out what happens next in the book.
