One thing I did well in my mock up was my front cover to my mock up and my back mock up cover.

One thing I can do to make my project better is use better details to my main problem.

I think we should produce my project because i really like the book i choosed for my mock and i want everyone to see it.

STOP TOUCHING ME LIKE IF I LIKE IT! stop it. . . now.

Before I Die

Jenny Downham

Jenny Downham trained as actor and worked in alternative theatre before starting to write. She lives in London.

 Tessa is a young girl living with cancer at the age of 16 years young. She doesn't know if she wants to wait on her death or if she wants to just live life. She made a list of 10 things she wants to do before she dies and sex was one of the first things that she got threw with. The second thing was to say yes to everything anyone says, so she took her little brother to the park and had fun. After she met with her friend Zoey, Zoey is her friend from school who was the only one who didn't stop thier friendship because of Tessas illness. Though Tessas dad doesn't like Zoey because Zoey is always up to no good, But Tessa remines being her friend.

 One connection to the book that i could make is having a friend my parents don't like. I know how it feels but my friend is never up to doing bad stuff she's a good friend. Tessa maybe feels the way i do like taking my time and try to explain how a friend she is to me, But i don't do that cause they wouldn't understand. That is one connection i could make towards this book.

My favorite image from this book is when Tessa says yes to her little brother when he askes her to play with him. It's my favorite part because it's something nice to do cause Tessa is sometimes mean to her little brother. That is my favorite image.

A recommendation i could make on this book is that it's a nice book. If you feel like you having problems on your on have a friend you trust by your side.

Sapphire

Sapphire was born in 1950 and spent her first twelve years on army bases in California and Texas. As a teenager she lived in South Philadelphia and  Los Angeles. She graduated from City Collage in New York and received an MFA from Brooklyn Collage. From 1983 to 1993 she lived in Harlem, where she taught reading and writing to teenagers and adults. Sapphire is a performance poet and the author of a collection of poetry and prose, American Dreams. She lived in New York City.

This book is so far about a 16 year old young girl. Precious Jones is her name and she lives a rough life. Her father raps her constanly. She had his baby. The baby came out with problems, but she's staying over at Precious' grandmothers house. Precious mother makes her life harder to live by thinking that Precious took her man "away" the man that is her own father. Precious Jones joined a pre- G.E.D class because when she got pregnat by her own father she got kicked out of school, the programs name is Higher Education Alternative/ Each One Teach One. So far in the program she has been okay, all the other kids there have the same problem she has in reading and writing, so it makes it easier to be open with everyone.

One connection to the book, i could make is being comfortable with my class mates because we all are in the same level. And how it helped me understand it was because if everyone was to be different i wouldn't like to share what i have problems with and they don't.

My favorite image that i created from the book was the part where she was givin birth from her 1st child and the nurse talks to her. It was my favorite image because Precious doesn't have anyone to talk about life to and when she listened to the nurse talk she felt loved from her and when the nurse hugged her Precious Jones cried of happiness.

I think you should try reading this book. It is a very good book and you will really enjoy it. It's the kind of book when you start to read it you don't want to stop and just fein to get at the end of the book.

This book is great and very sad. So far i been reading about a young girl who got pregant by her father at the age 12. SHe got kicked out of school because she was pragant, But then the teacher came by to tell her about a school called Higher Education Alternative/ Each One Teach One. Then at the age 16 she got pregant again by her father. She been threw alot in life. Her mother beats her to death constantly because she says that she took her man away from her.

I can connect the title of this book "PUSH" to when ladies give birth. I also think this book is called PUSH because she gave birth at such a young age also by her father while he  her illegal.

One image i could create is her mother telling her to do everything around the house. Nothing is Claireece Precious Jones fault, why her mother can't understand that.
