Are Ghosts Real?

I always thought ghosts are unreal when I was little. But as I grew I read a lot of stories from books and internet. I also heard stories from teachers I had. In the book The Presence by Eve Bunting I have been wondering if ghosts can really disguise themselves as humans and talk to people. This is not the first and last book about ghosts.

The main character is Catherine. She just experienced the lose of a best friend by a car accident. Her friend had another with a boy. A boy comes up to Catherine and says I talk to your dead best friend. She was shocked to find out that, but she was happy to find somebody to contact her friend with. But the problem is the "presence" is a ghost.

The author, Eve Bunting, wants to put out a fact to make the book a real good mystery but she might've also wanted to put out a fact that there is ghosts in our world. Maybe she even believes in ghosts. Eve is a probably just the study of ghosts.

This book connects to life today. People today believe in ghosts. They are not very rare. That's why ghost stories are from all over the world. There is myths and legends from all over the world. The myths and legends are based on the way cultures and religions are today. The stories that are mostly carried on are ghost stories.

 

Pretty Little Liars By: Sara Shepard

The characters in The Pretty Little Liars are different from many books. In the book Pretty Little Liars, I have been thinking a lot about the characters and the way they act. Sara Shepard, the author, gets into detail with every character like it's their own. Each girl has her own personality. Even if they are a group of friends they stick together and have their own personality.


The four girls are their own people. Spencer is a person that always takes her sister's boyfriend. Emily is always the weak one. She has a boyfriend but doesn't love him. Hanna has a problem with her mom and dad. Her mom is always busy and doesn't pay any attention to her. Her dad got married and another daughter to care about. Aria is confused about her love. she doesn't know how to keep her family together. Because her father is a dirty little secret.


The author, Sara Shepard, is trying to make every one of them special. She has made the book more interesting because there is only four perspectives of the whole story. The author is trying to make the characters the problems of the whole story. She always said in the book that " never trust a pretty girl with a dirty secret".


In this book the characters connect with groups of people today. In a club or a popular group each person should not be a follower. They should be their own person. That's what I think Sara Shepard is trying to point out in the book, The Pretty Little Liars.
