I am not particularly looking forward to this book. I think that when I read, it should be something I enjoy or something that I want to read. If it were up to me, I would have chosen to skip the all school read. “Surviving the Applewhites,” has no action, interesting characters, or anything that makes it grab the attention of readers. Although we are only on the fourth chapter of the book, I feel like the plot should’ve gotten slightly more exciting by now. I feel like the book would be better if maybe the author were more creative with the events of the first four chapters to get the attention of the readers. Hopefully the plot and events of the book pick up and the book gets more exciting.
I think that in the end of the day, it’s more important to work on something you’re passionate about. Whether it’s World War II, fashion, or movies, you should truly focus on the things that you are interested in or focus on things you care about. Sometimes if you have a science project that maybe you’re not particularly interested in, you tend to lose focus and really don’t care about the project. It’s the complete opposite if you have a project on something you enjoy or find fascinating. Sometimes you can lose interest in subjects when you don’t like that subject. Other times, you can stay interested in a topic because you enjoy it. That is passion. Passion is doing your best to succeed because you enjoy what you’re doing. Passion is not caring what people think. In conclusion, I think that focusing on projects you’re passionate about can change the way you learn about a topic or the way you feel about a topic.
