Book Recommendation - Every Falling Star

I would recommend the book Every Falling Star to others. It is a true story about a boy who goes through very difficult experiences, experiences no child should have to go through. Everything of his life before gone, his parents, his house, his city, his dog, his food, and most importantly, his beliefs. After years of creating a new life for himself, a new family made of street kids, the main character Sungji's life is starting to fall apart little by little. All because of the government he grew up worshipping. But instead of giving of hope, which is easiest at the time, he goes on, and because of that he find something that he had been searching for ever since he and his family was kicked out of the capital city. My favorite moment is when someone finds him, and he never stopped believing he was being searched for. His family came for him. Another favorite part of the book was when he uses all the things he has gone through to help others who were in his same situation. He does what ever he can to help people, and is working for the greater good of his country. This book is interesting, and fun to read. You can really feel all of the emotion in the book. It is sad and the story just makes you want to read it more to know what happens in the end. It is a continues journey with ups and downs, and ends in a way you wouldn't think it would. I would recommend this book to others.

Making Connections-Every Falling Star

In the book, Every Falling Star by Sungju Lee, there are many connections all through out the book. One of the most significant themes throughout the story is how they show how the main character's life, Sungju Lee, is drastically changing, for the most part the worst. His parents have abandoned him, and he is forced to live on the street stealing all that he can to survive during the deathly famine. But although most of the changes are for the worse, he meets people that will change his world for the better. One quote from the book is, "Little did I know that this military tactic will one day save my life on the streets." This shows how at the time when he said that, he never had to endure anything of that matter, but later on in his life he has to face issues where these tactics are helpful. He is going to go through hard times. Another quote from the story is, "I learned about history, or what I now call propaganda...." This quote shows that later on his beliefs that he thought were just, will soon be known as evil. The main character will come to know new things because of his terrible experiences. These quotes show future changes in the main character's life and mentality. There are quotes like this all throughout the book.

Intro Post

The first book I am reading is "My Father's Son" by Terri Fields. In this book, there is a constant conflict between the main character and the characters around him. You can really feel the emotion and the internal conflict. The author did a good job of making it relatable. I like how easy the author made it to feel how the main character is feeling and really being put into the characters shoes. I like how the author is making the reader constantly question what the outcome in the conflict will be. So far this book is interesting, but I am not sure how long it will stay that way.
