Poetry Book Response

The poetry book I selected to read is, "Crank" by Ellen Hopkins. Kristina Georgia Snow is an average exceeding kid, who visits her absent father in New Mexico. Where Bree comes along the "other side of Kristina." Which Is actually her. She meets Adam whom introduce her to crank. Bree right now is taking over Bree as is her addiction. 

I'm finding that crank is a very interesting book. Especially since a poetry book. It has this touch were it classifies due to the way that it's written. Yet doesn't follow any rule to necessarily classify it as poetry. The format is very orignal and the plot is very intriguing to be honest I the beginning I was a bit bored. Although I  am assuming that it's because it take stime to set up a plot. Overall I'm enjoying the book so far.

This could happen to anyone not just Kristina/Bree. Anyway could go from being average to getting caught up on something. Or wanting to let loose and release the other side they wish they could let go. In this case Crank gets the best of her. But this isn't just another problem that won't happen it's actually realistic and unique in it's on matter.

Nonfiction Reading Response #2

In the book “Don’t Eat This Book” by Morgan Spurlock. I ended up being completely astonished by the first couple of chapters looking at “Americas epidemic obesity” problem. Morgan Spurlock’s investigation didn’t end after his movie “Super Size me.” According to Morgan there are many complications to obesity. Such as  a simple plane ride has become complex for the actual airline companies due to the extra couple pound of some clients. It's become so much that now the industry's are making extra large, rein forced car seats, humongous chairs,  and scales ment to sustain tremendous amounts of weight. Well Morgan dug deep interrogating schools over there lunch programs, looking also into physical education. Morgan wants to show how deeply obesity has affected america. 

Morgan has dived into mind blowing information. This book is somewhat like Omnivore's Dilema. Same engrossing but informative genre.  Morgan's book didn't get me more informed then I already was. Except for the know and then facts of America's obesity right now. Considering my mom has alway's been on the healthy side of living she's alway's speaking on topics. Such as "(I)f a person drives instead of walks for only 20 minutes everyday for a year he will store about 26 calories, thus gaining about five pounds."- The Washington monthly notes (Spurlock page 28). The fact that one step can prevent major weight gain. The other convey's with everything precisely. He doesn't press everything to a limit he let's you gain your own opinion on the topic. Only stating actual information, not being very opinionated now and then suppressing other information.

What made this book super for me was Morgan's voice unlike similar books as "Don't eat this book." It didn't allow boredom with his type of perspective. When he wrote he was almost actually speaking to the reader. It gave the book a personal touch. Like Morgan actually cared, and gave a forewarning.

Reading this book so far, has been fantastic. It has given me many more reasons to stay away from junk food. Viewing it as an enemy. I mean  having fast food once in a life time is acceptable. Of course it'd be better to eat a salad. Maintaing weight may seem impossible but keeping in mind certain foods can catch major health difficulties.
