Jaime Messina Week 8 Percent of Silent Night by R.L. Stine

February 12th, 2015,


In the book Silent Night by R.L Stine, I am currently reading this book and only on about page 20-25 or so. But so far the them is not really much, it's just STILL explaining the main character, Reva. I am guessing so far that the theme is about her and how she is a mean, selfish girl. When her mother was still alive, four years ago, she a sweet 13 year old girl. She was very close with her cousin Pam who is a little older then her. But everything changed when her mom died.. She started to break the house rules, and not care about anyone she knew, like her friends and family and even strangers! She had a boyfriend for about four months and then she relized that she didn't need him because she had "better" things to do, like watching T.V. and being a mean bully. She still had some friends, she acted mp nice to them even though she was taking advantage of them. Her close cousin Pam, turned into her cousin who she hated, even though Pam was a really nice and innocent girl. She would always help Reva with her problems and always called, but then she finally found out that when her mom died, she started taking advantage of her. She tried to hold in her feelings about Reva, and yet she did. But in the inside she absolutely hated her. She was so mean to Pam. So mean. Pam thought she was jellous that she had a mother and Reva didn't. But she tried hard not to think that. She was still nice and friendly to Reva, even though Reva always lied to her and rolled her eyes at her and was ALWAYS sarcastic. So that's why I think the theme in the book so far is how Reva is a selfish and sassy.

Week 7 Reading - Broken Hearts by R.L. Stine

February 5th 2015

In my book 'Broken Hearts' by R.L. Stine, I feel like the theme is DONT go out on Valentines Day. (Spoiler alert!!) One event from the book, is when Josie starts to get threatening valentines saying death poems on them. Another event from the book, was when on Valentines Day (WARNING, SPOILER) Josie dies from getting stabbed in the back. Lastly, a year later Josie's old friend started getting the same kind of valentines as Josie did.... That is why I think the theme is don't go out on Valentines Day!
