"If Only"....

What dee do awesome readers?! Came back for more I see! Well read onnnnnnn!

If you read my last blog on this book, you'll know that I had left off on talking about how she wishes people would speak with her on a more serious level about her mothers death. So to continue on, you guys should already know that even though she wishes people would have a serious conversation about her mother, she still feels very very fragile and sensitive about the subject. In school she realizes that throughout her day, it's basically about the subject of mothers in general. Corinna says on page 28, "Our gym teacher warned us yesterday that we should call our mothers if we didn't behave. At the lunch table next to ours, some girls were complaining about their moms making lunches they don't like. In English, we're reading a book about mothers called They Cage the Animals at Night. It's a totally sad story in which the mother is sick and the kids go to an orphanage. Oh, and on that school form Norma the Storma wants, it asks for emergency contact information, for my father and my mother." After that she had said, "Each time the subject of mothers comes up, a red flag goes up, telling my ears to shut down. Then my brain gets a little fuzzy and I can't concentrate." This shows that Corinna isn't really fond of talking about the mother subject. She'll only take it when she needs to, other wise, she'll just keep doing the same thing for each time she feels it isn't necessary for her to listen.  For more on this book, check out my next blog. Or even better, READ THE BOOK! It's NEVER too late! 
The main conflict that I noticed in the book is person vs. self. Corinna has many thoughts and emotions that she feels that she has to keep to herself. Going a little bit back from the book, on page 16, Corinna says, "It feels like I'm on a separate planet from everyone else. The kids at school are on Planet Normal, the planet I used to belong to. Their lives are going on as if nothing had happened. And then there's me. I'm on Planet Doom an Gloom. I don't know if I'll ever get back to Planet Normal. I was right to have been worried about school. I am obviously the unofficial and unmistakable class freakazoid. You'd think no one had ever encountered death in all of history." Long quote, yeah I know, but this just shows how isolated and alone Corinna feels in school, even sometimes at home. But Corinna says she "somehow makes it through the day". It must take A LOT of strength for her to even wake up in the morning. I mean, just knowing that you no longer have a mother to look forward to seeing in the morning or throughout the weekends. I just hope that at some point during the book, Corinna is able to find peace and finally feel happy again.  

Response to Native American Reading

My class and I have just finished reading a Scope Article called "Would We Be Killed". It talks about how "Thousands of Native American children were taken from their families and taken to boarding schools to "Learn the ways of a white man". The Native American children were marginalized in many ways. Specifically the Sioux children. The children weren't really free to do anything that they wanted to do, they were assigned jobs and they had to do only that. They were forced to do so many things as well. In the article "Would We Be Killed" it had said, "At boarding schools, boys learned traded like shoemaking or gardening. Girls were taught domestic duties like housekeeping. All children were forced to speak only English." This quote from the article proves that the kids didn't really have many options on what they wanted to do. Their opinions didn't really matter, and they were forced upon many things that maybe inside, they didn't really want to do.
A 17 year-old girl named Shanice Britton had written essay talking about her and her "Life on the Rez". The purpose for Shanice's essay was to inform the readers that Native Americans aren't that different from ourselves. In the beginning of her essay she says, "When people find out that I am Native American, they have all these ideas about what that means- that I live in a teepee and wear moccasins and a headdress. But those are misconceptions." This quote shows that we are so quick to judge and assume things that we don't even know. Shanice wants us to know that just because she's Native American, doesn't mean that she's andy different from ourselves. Yes, she is a regular teenager. She lives in a house that has a grocery store, a gas station, and restaurants around her neighborhood. She takes showers, she watches TV, and she wears jeans! She's just like us! She is no different! Yeah she may have traditions that go on in her tribe, but if you really think about it, we do too. She wants us to know that we are all the same and different in many ways, and there shouldn't be so many stereotypes about other people just because their different. We have to have tolerance towards others.

New Book... "If Only"

Hello Fellow Readers! It's been awhile since I've posted a blog, but I'm back at it with some supa supa awesome blogging skills! Stick around and enjoy!


As you see in the title, I've started reading a new book, and it's called "If Only" by Carole Geithner. This book is about a girl named Corinna, she's starting off school as an official eighth grader. But, Corinna isn't exactly excited and joyous about going back to school because of one thing and one thing only, her mother's death over the summer. Corinna and her dad share the same feelings about her mother's death, so her feelings at home are no different than from when she's in school.  Except in school, she feels very alone and isolated no matter how many friends she talks to.  In one part of the book, Corinna even had to write a five paragraph essay talking about the highlights of her summer. That didn't turn out too well. On page 27 of the book, Corinna Says, "I think almost everyone knows now that my mom died, but it's like a forbidden subject. On rare occasions, someone says, "I'm so sorry about your mom," or "I don't know what to say except I'm sorry ." Those are both good things to say, but no one ever says anything like, "It must be hard when we're talking about our mothers." This shows that inside, Corinna wishes that people would be more open and there to be able to talk about her mother's death on a serious level, instead of someone just saying "I'm sorry about your mom's death" and all that jazz. If ya diggin what's been said, check out the book yourself! "If Only", buy it at KMART, HALF PRICE BOOKS, AND MANY OTHER STORES. LOLOLOLOL!!! But seriously, read this book yo! 

The genre of the book would be like a sad, young adult fiction type of book. This book so far has seemed like a very low and depressing book. Yeah, there are some uplifting and cheerful parts in the book, but it's mostly just depressing and low.  Once you start reading the book (first chapter) you notice that Corinna doesn't feel too well about starting off the eighth grade. In the third paragraph of the first chapter, Corinna says, " That's when I freeze. How can I continue to put one foot in the front of the other when I can barely breathe? How can I smile and talk to everyone like I'm the old me, like nothing has changed?" Just by reading these couple of sentences, you can kind of sense the kind of mood that's going to be going on throughout the book. 

Last Blog On.. "The Distance Between Us"

Hello ladies and gents! Glad you came back!  Unfortunately, this is going to be my last blog on this book.  I have finally finished the book! 'SUCCESS!'It feels so good, yet so sad. I mean, I'm glad I finished the book and all, but then I'm sad I finished it so quickly! ): Well to get back on track, I'll be telling you a little bit more about the book, starting from where I left off in my last blog.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then check out my last couple of blogs! You'll dig em!

So, I believe I left off on where Sky had told Caymen that Xander was looking for Caymen at Henry's show.  Now, since I finished the book, I'm just going to go a little a bit further into the book. But, I'm not going to tell you all the way towards the end because nobody likes a spoiler! But moving forward, at one point of the book, Caymen gets upset at Xander and debates with herself if she is going to talk to him or not. So she ends up deciding she'll avoid him until they have to see one another again.  The reason why she kind of gets upset is because she saw in "The LA Magazine" that he was with another girl named Sadie Newel. She was rich just like Xander, she was an actress.  By now I'm pretty sure you can tell that Caymen is in love with Xander, whether she wants to admit it or not.  So you can tell that her reaction wasn't so surprising. When she was reading further into the magazine, it had said, "Xander Spence, the son of high-end hotel owner Blaine Spence, was spotted in Los Angeles last weekend  outside the nightclub Oxygen with his longtime girlfriend, actress Sadie Newel, who had been filming in Paris for the last six months..." That was what it said in the article.  But Caymen was telling herself, "Longtime girlfriend? I can't read anymore because my vision blurs. But there is no way I'm going to cry over this. I had already let Xander go." It's most definitely clear that she likes him more than a friend, whether she wants to admit it or not.  But maybe eventually she'll finally admit to what she feels, and he'll feel the same way about her. Well, this is my last blog on this book, so check it out if you want to read more conflict that goes on in the book, READ IT! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! 

I realized in my book that I have many connections with Caymen in the book.  Caymen and I are both sarcastic, and we don't really have a great life. But we still manage to make it the best one we have.  I'm going to go far back into the beginning of my book because it kind of gives you a clue that she's what she considers herself as "dry". On page 19 of the book, she has a conversation with her favorite customer, she says, "That's cool. I'm sure she'll love it. How old will the lucky little girl be?"
"Sixteen" Mrs. Dalton says. 
"Oh. The lucky... big girl." I didn't know what to else to say without sounding rude. Mrs.Dalton laughs. 
"Don't worry, Caymen, I have other presents for her. This gift is more to humor her grandma. I've gotten her a doll every year since she turned one. It's hard for me to break a tradition no matter how old they get." 
"My mother thanks you for that." Mrs. Dalton laughs. She gets my jokes. Maybe because she's a little dry herself."  So after reading that mini conversation, you can kinda tell that she's "dry".  By "dry", I guess she means sarcastic.  If you know me very well, I'm the type a person to be VERY SARCASTIC! Caymen and I have many things in common, and if she were a real person, we'd be heck of great friends lemmeh tell ya! 

Tolerance

I will be respectful towards people's beliefs and opinions. To me, tolerance means to not judge what other people think. Just recently, some of my friends didn't like what I had said. I felt really offended because it made me feel like my opinion didn't matter, and if I didn't have the same opinion that they had, then they wouldn't talk to me.  Then they started to say stuff that made me feel even worse, but I stood up for myself and for my opinion.  Ever since that had happened to me, I have learned in life that I shouldn't judge what other people's beliefs and opinions are, because if I didn't like it happening to me, then I shouldn't let it happen to other people as well.  I feel like in the future I will be well respected, since I've learned to accept people for the way that they are and what they believe in.

Am I Invisible?

I've felt invisible many times in my life.  But the main one that is most effective is when I'm with my family.  They always choose to not tell me things,  and they don't really care for my opinion.  I feel invisible at times because I feel that they don't really think my opinion is valid when we are together.  I mean, yeah sometimes they decide to hear me out. For example, with food. Haha.  But when it comes to serious stuff, and I speak my opinion, which is the truth, they either don't listen, or they do, but don't do anything.  But of course, it has changed, just not so much.  What I did to fix it, was just stop giving my opinion on the topics we speak of.  It's easier for me, and probably easier for my family.  But, I think doing that just made me feel more isolated and alone.  Maybe one day, I'll be able to speak my opinion, and be trusted by my family, but for now,  I'd prefer to let things stay where they are.

More On.... "The Distance Between Us"

Heyyoooooo My Beautiful Readers! Glad you came back for more! 




Don't know what I'm talkin about? Check out my last couple a blogs to see catch up on a little bit I've been talking about in my book "The Distance Between Us".  Well moving forward, after the day that "Alex"(Xander) came into the shop to pick up Mrs. Dalton's doll, Caymen's best friend named Sky's boyfriend Pete, invited Caymen to one of Pete's band concerts.  Just a little pause here.. XANDER IS MRS.DALTON'S GRANDCHILD. May not have been a big deal for you but it was for me.  But anywaayysss.... Xander overheard Pete talking to Caymen about the concert, but Caymen never went.  But like a couple days after the concert, Sky and Pete came back to the doll store and Sky was telling Caymen how she and her boyfriend saw Xander at the concert.  HE WAS LOOKING FOR HER. SO DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? HE WENT FOR CAYMEN!!! I can even prove it to you! On page 37 of the book, it says, "She drags me to the floor in front of Henry. While he sings she looks over at me. "Oh someone asked about you last night." 
"Where?"
"At Scream Shout."
"Who?"
" I don't know, some kid who looked like he could've owned the place. Dressed like a fancy-pants. Super white teeth." Now I'll just paraphrase the rest of it, because it sure is a heck of a long conversation they had. Going on from that, Caymen just knows that it was Xander just by the way Sky was describing him, and so she started to ask more questions. Sky ended up saying how she knew for sure that he was looking for Caymen.  If you want to find out the exact words, then I suggest you read the book!  For more details on what happens next, make sure to stay tuned for my next blog this week!

The point of view in this book is First Person. i know this because in the book, I find that most of the sentences include the words I, me, or mine.  Another way I know is because I can read the thoughts that Caymen is thinking.  For example, on Chapter 20, second paragraph 2, Caymen says, " No wonder why he was confused I didn't know what his family's business was when we first met. He probably thought I was pretending to not know who he was. I blame it on our lack of cable. I may not have known exactly who he was, but I always knew he was a somebody."  This shows how Caymen feels about what is going on between Xander and herself.  Caymen replays the events that had happened when they were communicating.  Will Caymen be better off without him, or will be apart only make her feel worse? 

"The Distance Between Us"

Hello My Supa Supa Awesome Readers! Are you ready to find out what this mystery boys name is? Are you ready to see if they see each other again? Well read forward to find out!

Well, to start off well, the boys name was Xander. Going back to when he purchased a doll for his grandmother. While they were looking for the perfect doll, they had a quite entertaining conversation that kept me intrigued to read more and more of the book. So if you want to find out what they had talked about, you should go check the book out!  Nothin like some good ole' promo eh? Anyways, after they found the perfect doll, he  rang him up and it was his and he left. She hadn't seen him in about a couple of weeks.  He didn't come across her mind too much, but here and there yeah.  Then when she was working another day, her favorite customer Mrs. Dalton walks through the door to check if her doll had came yet. But she was informed it wouldn't be coming until the next day.  Mrs. Dalton was busy the next day, so she just says that she will send a boy named Alex to come pick it up.  The next day comes and they meet one another again! What will happen next?????? Check out my next blog to find out!!! 

I wanted to do another character analysis but this time on Xander since I haven't really described him yet.  I think Xander is independent. Xander comes from a rich family, and his father expects him to do so many things that his father already does. For example, modeling. In the book, Caymen and Xander were having this deal as to where they look at different opportunities for each other, because they both aren't sure of what they want to do in their future. But they pick only for each other. When it was Xander's turn to choose for Caymen, he chose photography.  Xander said something after Caymen completed her task.  When he talked to his dad, he walked away. he told Caymen, " I hope you're taking notes.  I'm so much better at pissing my family off than you are."  From Xander saying that, you can tell that he isn't really fond at what situations he gets dragged and put through.  He likes to follow his own footsteps and see where they lead him in life, instead of just following the footsteps of his father's.

New Book... "The Distance Between Us"

Hello wonderful readers! I FINALLY finished "Stuck In Neutral"! I'm so excited to talk about this exciting new book I have started reading!


This book is called "The Distance Between Us", by Kasie West.  So far this book is about a girl named Caymen and she is an only child.  She works at a doll shop with her mother,  and she lives in a very very small apartment just on the upper level of the shop.  Another thing to add is that Caymen and her mom are struggling really badly with money. In the book, Caymen had said, I once asked my mom if we could get a bottled juice and she told me it was expensive. I was six.  That was the first time i realized we were poor. It definitely wasn't the last."  This quote from the book proves that  Caymen and her mom aren't on the best of terms with money.  But let's get rid of this negativity and say some more positive and girly things yeah?  Well, Caymen is working one day and a boy just about her age walks into the store.  He purchases a doll for his grandmother and she finds out his name and everything! EEEEEEKKKKK!  The best part is.... HE'S CAYUTEE!! But.... he's a rich boy.. and Caymen isn't really fond of those types of guys. Will she stick around to see if he's different? Will they ever even see one another again? Well, you'll have to check out my next blog to find out!

Caymen is very, sarcastic, smart, and outgoing. Kinda like me! Haha! I mean Caymen even says so herself in the book that she's sarcastic.  She would much rather prefer the use of the term "dry". Caymen and I are similar in many ways. For example, we both don't really know what we want to do for our future. Even though it's a bit too early for me to be thinking that, it's always good to have goals. Another example is that we both are VERY sarcastic. In the book she had said something to her favorite customer that was very dry. But she knew she could talk to her like that because Mrs. Dalton actually laughs at her jokes because she understand them. She even thinks "Mrs. Dalton is a little dry herself." 

What We've Been Learning In Class This Quarter!

This quarter in Ms. Belkov's Lit class, we've been learning about Upstander's.  We are doing a research paper on an Upstander of our choice.  I'm really excited about this one because I love learning and doing this type of stuff.  If you didn't know already, an upstander is a person who stands up when they see injustice.  For example, like Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, etc. 
  My Upstander is Angelina Jolie.  Many of you know her, and if you don't she's an actress.  She was the main character in the movie "Maleficent".  She's also a director, and she recently directed a movie called "Unbroken".  She has done many things to benefit society, and to me she is very inspiring.  In an article that I read, I heard that she "helps launch New Centre For Women, Peace and Security".  Jolie participating in this action, along with the government, they are trying to put an end to women who are victims of sexual violence. This will benefit society because it will help the women who do get abused and are victims of sexual violence.

Going On With..... "Stuck In Neutral

Good Evening my fellow readers! Glad you came back!


In chapter 7, Shawn finally talks about school.  He talks about the positive and sort of negative things about school.  To shawn, he's not really fond of school.  He refers to school as "a friggin' zoo".  One thing that Shawn said in the book about school being nice was his teachers.  He has one main teacher and two teachers assistants.  The teachers name is Mrs. Hare, the first teachers assistant's name is William, and the second teachers assistant's name is Becky.  He says many things that he likes about them.  On page 38, he says that "William is an incredibly nice guy.  He's about fifty and real strong and big."  William ended up breaking Shawn's arm, but not purposefully.  Shawn was in the middle of a seizure, and he had fallen out of his wheelchair.  If William hadn't grabbed his arm, Shawn could've had a fractured skull.  It was better that Shawn had a broken arm than a fractured skull, because you never know if he could've died from a fractured skull.  Moving on from William, Shawn likes Becky for a rather common dudish reason.  To ease this out, he basically likes her because of her body and looks.  When I saw that, I was like, 'WHAT IN THE WORLD?! TYPICAL DUDE WAYS!'  I wasn't even surprised once I read that first sentence of that paragraph about her.  Moving on from the Becky chick, Shawn thinks Mrs. Hare is  "patient, nice, a little boring, but caring." This kind of shows that Shawn isn't very fond of Mrs. Hare as he is with William and Becky.  Plus, he evens says that in the story.  Just a little paraphrasing action right there and badabing badaboom!  Well, check out my next blog to see one thing that Shawn isn't very fond about his school! 

While reading the book, I started noticing that there were SO MANY tough questions Shawn kept on asking himself. So I figured, why not put them into my second paragraph?!  On page 36 of the book, paragraph 2, Shawn asks himself a few tough questions such as.... "Are these memories of real things or imagined ones?  Are your dreams real or imagined?  You don't imagine a dream do you?"  When Shawn was asking himself these questions, I was telling myself, ' I wish I knew him personally so that I could actually be able to tell him this stuff.  But of course after reading the book because I don't think I would be able to tell him anything if I didn't know what he was thinking inside his mind.  I hope one day to be able to know a person with the same condition as Shawn does.  Even if he can't talk or move any parts of his body.  I already know how Shawn feels due to reading the book.  I can only imagine how other kids with the same condition feel.

What Dee Do My Wonderful Readers!

Guess What?! Jeez! You'll never find out what I found out as to why Shawn's dad wants to kill him! Nah, just kidding! I'm going to tell you right now! 

Well, first off, if you read this blog, you'll be so confused because you didn't read my last blog.  So if you haven't already, go check it out!  Continuing on, for those of you who have read my last blog, you read that Shawn's dad is planning on killing him.  I just didn't exactly elaborate as to why he wants to.  Well then Jenna, are you gonna keep blabbering, or tell us?! I know, I know, I'll get to the point already!  So, Shawn thinks that his dad wants to kill him because he feels bad for him.  In the book, Shawn tells a story as to why he thinks his father is planning on killing him.  I'm not going to go full on into the story, but I'll paraphrase some of it for you special readers. It had all started when Shawn's dad came to visit him and his family.  Shawn's parents weren't together anymore due to the life of Shawn.  At least, that's what he thinks.  Well, when he came, his father, mother, and himself went to the backyard to talk and such.  Shawn's mother got a phone call and went into the house to talk.  So while that was happening, his father was trying to communicate with him.  His father found it useless once again.  But all of a sudden, a crow came and kept cawing at them both, and his father somehow got mad and started yelling at the crow.  He got so mad that he threw a glass of iced tea at it.  I flew away, and everything was back to normal. After all of that ruckus, his dad started to talk to him again. He was telling him what could Shawn have done to protect himself if his father weren't even there and his mother went inside for the phone call.  Then he was telling him how helpless Shawn was. That's why Shawn had the idea that his father wants to kill him.  Will he? Or will his father find another way to fix things?    



Today in my second paragraph, I'm going to be talking about conflicts.  One of the main conflicts that occurs in the book is person vs. self.  In the book, Shawn faces many internal obstacles such as, insecurities, doubts, questions, etc.  For example, in the book, Shawn had been asking himself many different questions that he wanted to know the answer to.  " What does your arm feel like throwing a baseball? Your fingers holding a pencil? What do your lips feel when you kiss somebody?" is a quote from the book.  He was asking himself many different questions that he wanted various answers to, but couldn't really figure them out, hence the condition he has.

More On.... "Stuck In Neutral"

Hello My Fellow Readers! 


Glad you came back to check out more on my book "Stuck In Neutral"!  With more on what I've been reading, Shawn said he had some good and bad news going on in his life? The good news was in my last blog. So if you haven't read it, you HAVE TO TOTES GO GO BACK AND READ IT.  Anyways, the bad news is, well, Shawn thinks his dad is planning to kill him.  On page 12, Shawn says, " This bad news is complicated, difficult to explain.  In a nutshell, it's that I am pretty sure my dad is planning to kill me."  I wasn't sure to believe this little thought that Shawn thought or not. But I guess I'll have to wait and see when I dig into my book more and find out! 

I thought I would do something a little bit different other than just conflicts and such all the time.  So for today, I'm going to be talking about the Point of View in the book "Stuck In Neutral".  I think the book is in written in a First Person Point of View.  I know this because I noticed that there were the words I and me. Usually when a book is written with those to words, it's a book in the first person point of view.  For example, in the book it Shawn said, " His eyes seemed locked onto mine at that moment  when life left him; I wasn't watching a dog then, I was looking at the death looking back at me."  In one point of the book, Shawn was talking about how he came to a point where he wasn't sure what to think about death, he just knew how he felt about it.  This was because of something that happened to him that made him encounter the looks of death, and I can tell you, Shawn didn't like it.  At all.

Ba Ba Ra Ra..... Introducing....... "Stuck In Neutral"

I'm so sad because I had to give up my other book "The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die". Boo Hoo! At least it was the right thing to do since it was more of a vacation book for me... 

But moving forward, I ended up finding another great, and more different book than I usually read. It's called "Stuck In Neutral", by Terry Trueman. So far with what i've been reading, the book is about a boy named Shawn, and he has Cerebal Palsy. That is when you don't have any control towards your bones. He is even living his life in a wheelchair. You may think that Shawn is just some useless dumb kid with a condition and his life sucks. But in Reality, he isn't. You see, even though Shawn isn't able to speak, he can still listen to anyone and everyone's conversations. He will remember everything that someone is talking about, like he said on page 2 of the book,  whether its "TV commercials, every melody I've ever listened to from boring, brain-dead country muzak to nasty rap lyrics". He was saying how he could remember all of those things, just by listening intently to those conversations or TV commercials, etc.

Shawn is the main character in the book that I'm currently reading. In my opinion, I think that Shawn is very positive. In chapter one of the book he says "I have some good news, and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear?" Instead of him starting off with the bad news he starts off with the good news. This shows that he wants to announce something that is positive instead of talking about his condition. I also feel like Shawn is very smart. He is has the ability to remember everything that he hears. As it said on page 2 of the book,"the thing is, I can remember everything I ever hear, perfectly, with total recall. I mean everything Everything! Perfectly! Totally!" This means that no matter how long any conversation, TV commercial, etc. is, he always remembers what they say. I know FOR A FACT, I can't do that because I can barely remember the last time that I called my grandma on the phone! Sheesh! He can remember everything that he hears! Wow! One amazing "ability or gift" as he calls it, to be able to remember all that!

Intro To "The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die"

I just got a new book and it's called "The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die". This book is about a teenage girl who loses her memory of everything that goes on in her life. She doesn't even know who she is. She was kidnapped and tortured to death. But, she survives the horrid torture, and manages to escape. The bad thing is, she had to kill some one to escape and the men that took her are going after her. Will she manage to escape from them for good, or will she be found and taken back to the place where she was tortured? Find out in my next blog to find out!
I personally think that this is a person vs. self conflict, because she was kidnapped and tortured. Since she she can't remember herself or her life, when she escapes, she tells herself that she can't trust anyone. I also think that this is a person vs. person conflict as well. She has to run away from the men that are trying to kill her, and she struggles with that because she doesn't have many places to go or money to help her. I think she is smart to not trust anyone after she escaped because there could be other people that could just be pretending to be nice, and they could actually be helping the men trying to kill her. I, so far, am totally about this book right here man! Even if you read the first and last page you would get so intrigued by the specific details and words that the book used. I assure you you'll dig this very book here! So grab it and give it a read!
