Love, Ruby Lavender - Deborah Wiles
I chose this book because when i read the description, i thought about how this book relates to the real world and how real the story is. after the first chapter of the book, I knew that it would become one of my favorites. I can take situations from this book use them in the real world, and it also taught me what to do and what not to do in a situation like the characters were in. I think that a person would read this book because it is a very adventurous book with laughter and some sadness too.
Perspective
I think this book was written in the mid 18-1900's, because there isn't really any technology involved in this book and the setting is in a small town in the country. In the book, the main character, Ruby Lavender,gets in a fight with a girl named Melba Jane. I think that I would have to take sides with Ruby because she respected people more than Melba, and ruby didn't lie to people about what she did or didn't do. In one part of the book, Ruby did something that she definitely shouldn't have done, but by then, she was very mad at Melba Jane.
Evidence
You can know a fact is a fact because you can prove that there is reasoning behind it. An opinion is where you say something like "Your shoes are so cute!" A fact is like saying "Trees have roots." If i were to describe something i saw, i wouldn't say that the palm tree has green branches and blows in the wind, i would glide into it like i was describing the most beautiful thing i ever saw. I would support what i would say by giving a detailed description of what i saw.
Connection
I can apply this book to my own life because in it, two characters get into a huge fight and learn to deal with whats going on. i fight a lot with my sister, so now i can apply that to my life. i also think that if others read this book, they could do the same. I don't think this would do anything to affect what i like to read because it was already in my genre.
