Book Title: A Match Made in High School

 BY Kristin Walker

--- PART I ---

REFLECT – The story revolves on how friendship will work if this friendship needs to engage on each other’s flaw. These two friends, who named Fiona and Marcie, are the main characters of the story. They both have strong personality, and yet they differ in some other things. While reading the story, I realized that friendship should not be wasted; it should be treasured and cared. Fiona was a bit off in the eyes of others in school.  They always call her weirdo, freak, narcissist, and many more that could describe her. I know that it was not easy yet she managed to take control of herself. Fiona was a strong person but sometimes this personality caused her to have a negative connotation. She became narcissist and felt that she was a very important person and never even tried to hear other’s opinion or suggestion. But as the author turn the turning point of the story, Fiona realizes that she needs to open her mind to others so that others may open their hearts and minds to her, too.

CONNECT – When I was in high school, I had a classmate whose presence irritates me. I do not know but when he looked or even asked me something I could not help myself but to get angry with him. When I see him, I get exasperate and I do not know why. He’s just a treat for me, because he possesses negative aura and bad luck when he comes closer to me. Just like Fiona and Todd, they always clash anywhere they may be. They always see each other as a walking disaster and a master of all bad lucks. When they may get closer to one another, there will be compliant coming from the guidance counselor.

QUESTION – I wonder why Mrs. Principal Miller imposed the subject for marriage preparation in the course in High School. Marriage should not be the solution in disciplining the students engaging with that matter. Marriage is a serious matter. This should not be given as a preparation because we do not know the future, it is unexpected, and it is to the person on how they manage as a couple. Is Ms. Klein pro to marriage education? Why would she do that? Did she encounter the same situation as Mrs. Principal Miller? Well, if it is she should understand her student’s delimitation to the course.

PREDICT – I think Fiona and Johnny will end up as a couple, because at the very first place, Johnny has a great affection to Fiona. The rally of the parents against the marriage education really made a good step to band it. The parents will now realize how important to keep the family together and closer, they will be sensitive enough especially to the feelings their children.

--- PART II ---

            As I read the story entitled “A Match Made In High School”, I thought that it will end up open ending, instead the story finished with everyone’s gratefulness. I would say that the story was really great and surprising because the author really thought about issues today. She included the things that you would not expect that it exists in the most people. Well, discussing my favorite part in the story it happen when Fiona and Marcie did had a conversation which you won’t imagine. I, also, did not expect that Marcie is having an affair with Gabe, Fiona’s crush, which made Fiona, really turned into surprised and betrayal. The confrontation would not happen if only Fiona limits her affection to Gabe, but as what she did Marcie is tired of hearing those complementations for her boyfriend.  So, Fiona and Marcie did not talk to each other for almost a month. That really took so long to accept the fact and become friends again. If Marcie did not tell Fiona about Gabe and her, Fiona would still be dreaming of Gabe. If that happened, Marcie will give-off her love for Gabe just to make Fiona happy. Because that really friends are for, if you are a true friend you are willing to sacrifice a little for your friend. Either it will hurt your feelings or not, it will not matter.

Book Title: THE SACRIFICE BY Kathleen Benner Duble

---PART I---

REFLECT- I never expect that this thing would really happen in real life. It was really hard to accuse someone without any corresponding proofs to be shown in the tribunal. It was unreasonable to directly accuse someone whom you know were innocent ones. Abigail and Dorothy were accused that they are one of those persons who possesses evil contacts. These children sent to imprison because that what the town’s villagers believe that they are really one of them. I know that it was hard for them to fight for their right especially when the magistrate and the people do not really care about your side. But their faith, honesty and courage led their way to liberty as they step up to life that they are innocent children.

CONNECT- This story reminds me of the novel The Sacrifice because when I was in high school, I was accused of doing such thing as vandalism inside the girl’s comfort room. I was devastated with the misinformation they have had because it was not I who made it. The most painful part is the one who accused me, my very own friend. Like Abigail and Dorothy, they were accused by their childhood friend named Sarah. Like them, it is hard to accept things when you know it is not that thing you wanted to happen.

QUESTION- I wonder why Sarah Phelps accused the sisters that they are one of those in contact with the devil? Is there something that she is hiding of? I also could not find any reason for arresting those women in the jail? Does this judicial officer really know of their unkindness concern when speaking of the rights of each individual? I do not think that these officers in the Salem are doing righteous treatment to those prisoners. And to think, they must be the good example in the town but it seems that they are the one who makes evil acquaintances to people.

PREDICTION- I think Hannah, the pregnant mother of Dorothy and Abigail, will be freed from those untruth accusations. I think that the baby will be the reason of liberty and peace of the Salem town. Abigail and Dorothy will do their duty as good daughters of their family and good sisters to their brothers.

---PART II---

I was really shock after I have read the novel The Sacrifice. I never imagined that these things would really happen in real life. I wonder where this witchcraft came from. I really do not understand why it is existing so badly. I do not know, but I am scared about these stuffs right now. Is it real that even minors are unrestricted to go to jail? But how do they do that? In a way of being accused without paying any cost? Does the magistrate are doing their job because they are in the high officials or doing their evil job because they are tempted to do so?

 According to the author, this novel is really happening in the town of Salem, known as Salem, Massachusetts. In one chapter of the book, the author mentioned how magistrate do their duty for the sake of money, and the fact that they should be the one who roles the people in a good way. I felt that this events should not be existed just to stump others dignity.

Other thing, do witches exists? Well, in this case I cannot tell but if we refer in the information that the author has given. I think it is true. It was based on her experience in the Salem, Massachusetts, her great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother’s home town. Here, she, Abigail Faulkner, experienced the unrighteous of being accused in such case that is not reliable. She experienced to put in imprison for a wickedness she has not done. I felt the feeling while I reading the story, is the injustice of each victim in the case that they did not do.
