During February I had read the book Sisters By Raina Telgemeier. Sisters is about a true story of Raina of when her mother, sister Amara, and her brother Will go on a roadtrip from San Francisco to all the way to Colorado to go to their family reunion. On their way to Colorado they have difficulties such as a thunderstorm, eating mostly cup noodles, and a snake in their car! This doesn’t only show their way to Colorado but also Raina and Amara sisterhood together.

I had really enjoyed reading this book this month since it is very relatable to the moments I sometimes have with my sister and there’s funny jokes in the book too! It’s gives off a nice visual of sisterhood in the book the struggles sisters have and the good things too! I really do think that if you had any previous books of Raina Telgemeier and had enjoyed it or want to read a nice funny book about sisterhood I would recommend this book!

My favorite character from the book has to be Raina. The reason why I chose her is because I had really liked how she didn’t complain like her sister Amara or be loud like her brother Will. Raina is helpful even if her siblings aren’t the same to her and a quote to prove this has to be pg.104 “ Try holding your nose and closing your mouth, then blow-“ This was when Amara woke up from her nap her ears haven’t popped yet so due to altitude she heard a screeching noise. Raina was helpful by still helping her sister Amara to stop the screeching noise even from the fact Amara was just yelling in her ears for help.

My favorite quote from the book has to be pg. 14 “ Nope, no colored pencils here. Now get out.” I had chosen this quote because after once she kicks Amara out of her room she goes ahead and packs in her color pencils and that seems like something I definitely do to my sister. It was just funny  to me how she lied to her sister and packed the color pencils for herself.

I went skydiving around these islands as I jumped off into the sky I closed my eyes to enjoy the nice breeze fly past me in the hot summer weather. Then boom! I fell right in a palm tree it was so painful it was like as if I crashed into it! As I quickly but carefully climb down the palm tree I started to run off to find a big red x to know if I landed in the right island after hours of wondering where is the big red x I couldn’t find any sign that I landed at the right island. I started to feel hopeless as I land down in the hot burning sand and the sunlight giving me spotlight at me as if I was on stage giving a performance. I was scared! No I was terrified! As I got up to not get sunburned from the sunlight I was staring off to the distance of the crashing waves I felt the urge to go wonder around the island. The island was nice and tropical but still scary since I was on my own and there only a few tall palm trees but thankfully the one I landed on wasn’t one of them. There was a lot of hibiscus around that helped bring the positive side that I was on an abandoned island, the nature of the island was quite really green. I started to realize that I needed to start a lifestyle here because this is going to start to be my new life. Some of the gear of skydiving equipment was sharp enough to chop up some wood of the palm tree. Then I used the helmet as a hammer to hammer down wooden nails I made. That night I had to sleep under a palm tree using my parachute as a blanket to keep warmth at night. After weeks I was able to complete my treehouse the only problem with it was that I didn’t finish woven my rope so each day I have to climb up this rough tall palm tree. During those weeks I had adapted a routine at the island by each day when I wake at usually 8:30 am. I usually just lay in my bed that the mattress was made out of leafs with my parachute over me as a blanket. Then I get up and make my bed and clean up my treehouse a bit. After that I make myself some breakfast which is usually coconut water with a some cooked fish, I had learned how to catch fish by just trying catch fish over and over till I catch one. Then I go over to my crops and just take care of the farm. I started to farm ever since I found seeds and I wanted to have more options for when I eat. Then I go swimming near the reef of the island because I am too scared to go swimming too far. Then I have a snack of coconut and some of the watermelon I grow in my small farm . After that I go relax in my bed for a hour or two. Then I have lunch which is chicken from my farm and boiled eggs. I go take a long nice shower that was made out of wood and for my water system I fill up a big wooden bucket with water and I attached a rope so when I pull it the bucket flips over and dumps me and I have to refill the bucket for each step. Then I use charcoal I found lying around the island to draw and make pictures to frame up my treehouse. Then its dinner time so I eat a Cesar salad  but with only with grilled chicken and lettuce since I don’t have that much ingredients. Then I brush my teeth and go to bed and thats my routine.

I would like switch lives with Selena Quintanilla for a day. Selena is a Mexican singer from Texas and she sings in Spanish and english. My top 3 reasons why is that she owns a boutique where she gets to design her own clothing for people to buy. Second reason is since she a singer she gets to go on road trips spend time with her family when she travels for tours and I love going on road trips since it better to bond with family and friends. My last reason is that I would like to experience what it’s like to be a singer and go up stage and perform. Thats why I trades places with Selena Quintanilla for a day

I had read the book Smile by Raina Telgemeier. It’s based off a true story from the the author of the book, it is how one night of her friend dropping her off by her house after girl scouts and they raced to the front door, but then Raina falls to the ground and  her two front teeth fall off, now this injury now had affected her life and took years to heal with on and off braces, fake teeth, headgear, and even a surgery.

I loved reading this book! It really had made me wonder if her teeth would ever get fixed or that she would have to deal with teeth problems rest for her life. It showed me how one little accident could really affected your life if you don’t be careful. The struggles she had to went through during her healing journey, her little sister annoyed her and about the pain she felt. I definitely guarantee this book and the rest of Raina Telgemeier books!

My favorite character was Raina herself. She was relatable and really helped me understand how hard this situation was for her even through I had really never experienced something like this. I liked how she dealt with her accident, she never had made it other peoples problems and she kept it to her self, and maybe sometimes she complain to her parents or to her self how hard it was but then she would get over it. She is a very anxious person, she tends to chews her nails when she is worried and also gets nervous a lot, the text states from pg.28 “ I’m nervous about the girl scouts. Last time we met was when I had my accident.”

My favorite quote from the book was when Raina  was frustrated with by pain, her dad had said “ Why don’t you bang it against the wall a few times? That way, when you stop banging, it’ll hurt less! I like the quote since I had found it funny because my dad also likes to say stuff like that to me and it shows just how her dad likes to joke with her.

I would love to have a 2-story Spanish Villa with a nice backyard connected to a farm because I would love to live a nice farm lifestyle especially if the farm connected to my home. I would love to have a big kitchen since I love to help my mom to cook so it be nice to have space to do that. For my living room I would love it had a high ceiling with some windows to have natural lighting coming into the living room. I would really love to have a secret room underneath the staircase I find it really cool and it just be nice to have a chill spot then just my bed. And my room would have red heart shaped string lights with a canopy over my bed with A lot pillows with a nice vanity to get ready and a nice little floating chair to also chill and everywhere must have hello kitty with songs posters on the walls and definitely a restroom connected to my room. I love to have a balcony to look at the view especially when sunrise and sunset. That’s it of my dream house bye!

I wish that I could go on a vacation to Honolulu, Hawaii. My three reasons why I would want to go to Honolulu is because first I like to go to a farmers market to try some news foods and to see if the fruits and veggies over there have a different taste from in Southern California fruits and veggies.  My next reason is that I like to go to the Halona Beach Cove, since it looks so pretty and relaxing , and Hawaii is such a tropical paradise to go it would be nice to go to a tropical spot which the beach is a good spot and especially if you go to a beautiful beach like Halona Beach Cove. My last and third is to explore caves and go on hike on mountains to see beautiful views and enjoy nature so that’s all my 3 reasons bye!
