Like Water For Chocolate

In class we read a novel by Laura Esquivel called Like Water for Chocolate.  This book was a very interesting but different book at the same time.  The novel I believe has a lot to do with me on a personal level along with all people.  I say that because the novel is about family and thats something we all have.  Its also about the cookbook of the families and how it was found and the story is being told along with the recipes at the same time, and we all have cookbooks, whether they are passed down through the family or a Rachel Ray cookbook.  Though my family is nothing like Titas because I feel Tita's family is dysfunctional in many ways which I dont believe mine is,  they are dysfunctional for example how the sisters don't get along very well like most sisters growing up but these sisters don't get along in a different way and its so interesting to read, it keeps you turning the pages.   I found the text to be very interesting,  It was an easy read because there were so many crazy things going on all at once.  The book is definitely all magical realism and it keeps you into it!  This book was very entertaining and I believe everyone should read it! I look forward to watching the movie!        

Zorro

In World Literature we read the book Zorro, which I found to be very interesting being that it was written like a comic book or graphic novel at that.  This book I would say has a lot to do with me as a person because in the book the young boy wants to protect all the people from the bad, I believe I am one who would want to protect people from bad situations if put in a situation where protection is needed.  Though he wasn't always the best person throughout the book nobody is perfect!  I don't think something like this can really happen, I don't find it realistic.  i believe this because having someone protect people would be great but its not really realistic.  We do have police officers that do protect us but thats a squad not one person.  I just don't believe one person can protect all people.  I did learn a lot while reading this book, I've never read a comic book though I have read comic strips never a whole book so I found this to be an interesting one.  I believe this book changes the way I look at all superheroes even batman because I believe it gives you an outlook on their background to figure out where they are from and what their past is like to become who they are.  I do think its good for people to believe there are people like Zorro and Batman t gives young children someone to look up to and makes them feel safe at the same time growing up.  I really enjoyed this book, I found it very interesting and entertaining at the same time.  i would love to read more books like this!
